So... what do those who know the game think of Starcraft 2?

[Dronee]

I thought the storyline and everything else was nice, but the campaign seems too easy even on brutal. Hmm... do post a spoiler warning though, if you're going to reveal storyline elements.. for those who have not completed the campaign.

I wanted to post this in the gamer's thread, but couldn't find it... Anyway, what do you think?

 

[nopark]

I haven't played through the campaign yet. I bought it mostly to play with a couple friends. But we suck so much at it we just team up against the AI lol. It's mostly just an excuse to get our headsets and talk with each other for a while.

Boooo.. I'm jealous. I don't have SC2 ... yet... Will soon though. I'm looking forward more to Diablo 3 though, if they ever finish, but I guess with SC2 done they may have more time.. Then again, there's the expansions to think about.

I can't wait to hear more about Kerrigan though. I hope there's a way to save her or something D: That made me sad when she got turned.. Feel bad for that poor guy who was and probably still is, in love with her.. Think hes the main character or something this time.

I love watching the replays on youtube... very entertaining from hdstarcraft and huskystarcraft...

I so feel like playing it, but I don't think I will. I was super addicted to brood war! Don't want to do that again

SC2, not bad. Campaign only so far, little too easy for my tastes.

You'll probably love the campaign then haha, Jim Raynor is definitely back in the thick of it, mixing things up... So come on guys/gals... what races are you playing? Or plan on playing if you happen to get the game?

I'm still debating about waiting for the Protoss campaign to get it, even though it's the last one. They are the only ones I really care about, but we will see.

I will get it eventually though, whether I wait or not. Reminds me of my old days on the original, when I would play matches with my clan and play in the ladder tournaments. I wasn't really serious about it though. All I did was turtle then carrier rush. ::

We even played it at my high school on the network during school hours with teachers...lol.

I was in the SC2, beta and tried out the races. Though I know they made a ton of changes from beta-commercial. I actually liked Zergs huge improvements and Protoss. I'm always nervous about playing against other people though so I'd just gang AI's in multiplayer after I finished campaign.

 

[Luke1993]

Never played the starcraft games, though I've heard they're very good!

 

[ありがとう]

I played the first game... And I know someone who owns the 2nd one, I watched him play vaguely and I thought the graphic could've been better (it didn't look the same as the commercial) - or maybe his graphic card is crap? (I don't know much about pcs...)... Everyone I know who has one claims it's awesome... So I follow their words.

SC2 is great The campaign is very epic with alot of cinematics, every mission has some new mechanic to consider and there's a lot of replayability.
What I didn't like in the campaign was the story, and the fact that Kerrigan turned from a deceiving super-villain in SC/BW to a boring "hahaha-I-will-kill-you" character

The multiplayer is super intense, and though I watch alot of commentated pro-replays online, I don't have the guts or sportsmanship to play against ordinary people =(
Does anyone want to play (EU)?

 

[Tiercel]

I've played several coop games with my brother in the past few days, as my buddy brought his computer over. We've just played against varying AI opponents.

I'm sorry to say that I've been reminded that my skills at managing the Terrans are mediocre at best. Probably closer to lousy, actually. But the game looks quite nice, is familiar without being stale, and though it has frustrated me it hasn't completely turned me off to playing it. Just as long as my brother has his carrier fleet to save my rear end.

 

[Dronee]

Well, I played the game with my friend (alternately) today... The campaign is indeed simple on brutal if you're not really going for all the achievements... If you really want to do everything though, it can be quite taxing on the multitasking. A few missions are also a little challenging if it's the first time playing. For those of you who haven't seen or heard of the game, youtube has lot's of playthroughs and commentaries of games and campaigns. Anyway, feel free to post your strategies!

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS

Battlecruiser Mission:

The battlecruiser mission today was long and drawn out, but I did get through relatively easily. My friend pointed out after I'm done though that I could have just suicided some units to take out the cannons (detectors) and send in a ghost with nukes to clean house. As well as the Dark Templars to help out.

I think it's probably because they don't want to take the limelight away from Raynor and the other Terrans since it's a Terran campaign after all.

Well I got to playing Starcraft 2 finally. Boy my computer stinks. I have to play it on low everything. But! It's still worth it. Been waiting forever to see more of Kerrigan and Jim Raynor.

Wonder how long it'll take to get the rest of the campaigns. God I still hope there's a way to save Kerrigan D: I'm a hopeless romantic though, so maybe its wishful thinking.. I hope not.

Most of the groundwork has already been done... I believe it's two years or so for each of the other expansions. No worries man... I'm sure Blizzard will grant your wish haha
