Blizzard's new game

Quote from Skjalg

haha, you must've be in a seriously bad mood when you wrote this and you just wanted to bash something, because this really doesn't make any sense. EVERY SEQUAL IN THE HISTORY OF GAMES AND MOVIES LOOKS LIKE THE ONE BEFORE IT. The point of a sequal is to add new shit to the old. I'll agree to that I was expecting a 4th race, but when thinking about it, starcraft doesn't need it. It would be too hard to balance properly.

And to those of you that whine about it not looking like crysis in terms of graphics. You really can't have studied Blizzard and their games pretty well. What Blizzard always have done is to take gurrent gen (NOT NEXT), and make it looks really awesome. This means that almost all current computers can run their game, and makes their game more popular. Releases like the new shooters where bad artists have to hide behind super-duper new shaders and high res stuff to make the game look cool brings the playerbase down. (sadly, this is a little true for crysis too, even though their artists are really good).

My point is, if you bash Blizzard for not making it look next-gen-super, you are just the kind of idiot that should gtfo of the games industry because its gameplay that draws players in the end. NOT GFX!

edit; if this doesnt get you in the mood you have no taste

alright. but if it indeed is gameplay that drives the train, why even bother making a sequel? i mean, wasnt the gameplay in starcraft awesome enough? why should i pay for something that i have already..?

Because it's never that cut and dry? They're probably just maintaining the core gameplay style of the original. Stop over simplifying.

BLIZZZZZZZZARDDDDDDDDDDDD

The fact is, theres a ton of RTS games. They're all basically the same thing, you create a small militaristic civilization, theres some form of currency and resources, and using your civilization you create and upgrade different units. You use these units to conquer the enemy. Sure, if you suck it down enough, they're all the same exact thing. Shit, all FPS's are is you're some guy who has to click on enemies while they're in the center of the screen. Hell why not suck it completely down to ALL computer games are a series of pushing buttons and moving a mouse! Every game is the same thign! GASP!

I found out sc2 has been in development for 4 years.

Hahaha Twiz

alright.

I see you are still posting.

I want to be able to zoom out and select more than 20 units at once.

Mhh maybe you can

The bar at the bottom is rather large now, compared to the SC I bar.

Variable difficulty would be nice as well... I'm not a very strong RTS player.

Ooo Skjalg made me wanna Youtube Starcraft, found some good stuff~

Yeah, noticed that as well. Looks like you can select around 36 units possibly.

Why has youtube become so fucking slow

Please. Don't go there. Barracuda will not stop until he will have the last word. The ban was not without reason, as you insinuate.. Let him have his last word and rot with it, on his own. Avoid taking any kind of discussion serious with him. I can't press this enough..

PS: I you want to fight regardlesly, take it to EOT.

I read somewhere that you could select as many as you wanted.

Oh and, sentura, don't try to make me look childish, or a retard w/e, just because I pointed out the stupidity of your remark. Btw, the obvious reason (which you again failed to see) for buying a sequal is to play the new campaign. Check out what happens with jim raynor and kerrigan... But my guess is that these names don't ring a bell for you.

they do ring a bell, but i didnt find the sp of sc very exciting compared to the mp part. you assume much, and i am merely stating my opinion. if you dont like it, fair enough, but dont try to convince me to buy this.

as said elsewhere

just because you like having blizzard's cock in your mouth doesn't mean i do

i'm not discussing this further as there is nothing more to discuss

Can a moderator please close this or attempt to tidy it up, and ask people to sit in the corner and think about what they’ve done?

I know there’s always an irony when I talk about this, given my e-angst years ago, but trolls, flamewars, loaded words and such nonsensical excuses to have a go at each other have been absent on map.core for a long, long time.

I agree - that's what I love about mapcore: it's very free of the usual internet bullshit; but now wtf is happening lately, don't want to point fingers but this and the TF2 thread have been ruined by the same kinds of people
