  • StarCraft II to be Split into 3 Separate Games

    Quote from Taylor

    Completely agree with you there. And if people aren't interested in the single player they won't have any incentive to buy them outside of custom games...Though, I’ve got a friend who is a major Starcraft 2 nut and it sounds like they’re doing some pretty conservative changes to it. The Black Hole ship seemed to be a good example: it used to be a one-only, end-game uber-unit that could destroy a screen irregardless to what was on it, but it's been reduced and reduced until it’s pretty much a normal unit. They seem very scared of messing up the balancing and new units could be a spanner in the works. I’m not saying it won’t happen, but I think we’ll have to wait and see.

    Yes I agree its a good example to conservative things happening but I think you are drawing the wrong conclusions from it. I don't believe they made it into a "regular" unit because they were afraid of messing up the balance, I think they made it into a regular unit because it was actually messing it up. Blizzard has always tried to make sure that things are well balanced and when you are going to make a sequel to a game that is so successfully balanced then I understand completely that they will mostly just copy what is done in the first game. When you look at it that way, trying new things would actually be time consuming and worthless since you can't really make something perfect better.

    Somehow Sentura, I believe that if you ever make your own game, it won't be a big success... You'll get a few fans that absolutely adores the game and thinks its the best shit ever created, but most people won't understand it.

    You need to dumb yourself down a little and understand the dimwitted populaces of the gaming world

    And the first round of keys are gone I am sure there will be a second round at some point and I hope to give those out as well

    I'd cut out my left nut for a EU beta key. (I got two level 70's and waste away in Azeroth every day leading my guild in BT).

  • Diablo 3

    Quote from DvS

    because the story doesn't continue in diablo 2..

    The thing with sequals is that most people hate it if the developer changes the game, when what they should be doing is continue the story.

    So what if blizzard had made diablo 2 in the diablo 1 engine? I'm sure some hardcore fans would've loved that, but you can't evolve like that and you don't get new players that way.

    Blizzard is a company, and companies exist to profit.

    Haha I didn't really mean that the should use the same engine. Of course they shouldn't, and of course they should use all the new features currently available on the market right now but they really shouldn't change the game when it comes to atmosphere and gameplay, which was my point

  • Euro Cup 2008

    yeah on the topic of referees I think they should use video judging (blow the whistle when something happen, then take the 5 seconds to watch the slow mo replay and let the "jury" that also decides who wins if its a draw choose who should get the penalty and how much).

    They could also use computer chips in the ball and the players' shirts to check for offside etc.

    I don't like human errors when it comes to upholding rules

  • Diablo 3

    I think the outdoors look way too much like Titan Quest (bright and happy).

    They really need to make it look more like the sad tristram or rainy jungles in the D2.

  • Euro Cup 2008

    When its a draw, then I think having the penalty kicks is rather ridicilous. Might as well just have some retards from the audience come down and shoot.

    I rather like the jury idea.
