Official Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 thread

Doesn't Starcraft get the award for longest wait for a sequel? When did brood wars come out 1998?

Big fan of both franchises before they hibernated.

Yeah it did, ppl played it till now, the only let down of BW is it's graphics and that's understandable. If you can live with that horrid graphics it's damn good game. SC2 however is good in every RTS aspect.

I just couldn't see myself playing RTS's now. I might get a heart attack with all the pressure.

Wonder how Diablo 3 might play. Will it be more Baldur's Gate like?

[QUOTE=Anton Chigurh]But what bums me is that sc2 will be cut into 3 games. with the toss coming in last, which are my fav race. so knowing blizzard, we wont be able to see the ending until 2015 at least :lol[/QUOTE]

its not really 3 games... its the main game and two expansion packs. you'll be able to play as all the races in the first installment on battle.net at least

I didn't know that... lame

Starcraft is/was my favorite game of all-time. I played the beta for the second one and I think that it will probably end up being my new favorite. It is a lot a of fun and they did a really good job with it. I can't wait to get the game lol.

StarCraft 2 beta opened back up. They added AI opponents so now I can get some real practice in. :oldlol:

haha ya, im glad they got all the AI difficulties

i can beat 'hard' AI, but not 'very hard' or 'insane' :(

I just used the lazylauncher to check out the units on a few maps (AI terrible of course), but ive seen more then enough of SC2 to know that ill get it when it comes out, even knowing I wont be able to play it much before I leave.


Only complaint I have (and note, this is just from tinkering around with the units against shizzy AI) is that Terran will dominate in late stages. How could they not? BC's always dominated in the first SC, but now you add Thors on the ground and they cant be stopped. Even the immortals get pounded away pretty quick and if there is even a slight mix of lower level troops (Rines or Rauders) then that is taken care of. And Zerg? psssh, what hope do they really have?

Ultralisks get blown apart by the BC's and im really not impressed with the Brood Keeper.

hmmm i might as well bump this

Activision making a push to lock in their subscribers before tor. Something around $150 up front for a 1-year commitment to WoW, then d3 is "free".

^ yah pretty much
not to mention they plan on making a boatload from microtransactions
nerds with money will pay good gear/weapons
