Starcraft 2

While I may be seen as an arrogant ass on these here forums I just wanted to say thank you to my fellow mapcore friends. It has been 10+ years for some of us and if it were not for your constant pushing etc.. I would not be a part of this industry. So I honored you all with mention in the credits

Awww, thank you Wacko - i may now have to be proper nerd and tell people the irc screen thats always on my desktop has achieved credit stats in a little game called starcraft2

wow, sweet Wacko! Will pick up a copy later this week.

Oh god, the hologram dancer in the cantina is doing the female Night Elf dance.

Cut scenes are my favourite part of the game so far. Which is odd for a game.

Not really for a blizz game, since warcraft 1, 2, starcraft and diablo 2, I thought the same thing.

I've been on vacation for the past two weeks, coming home later tonight. Debating if I should pick the game up here or head to the store as soon as I get home

I'm glad I didn't buy this digitally, it's a lotta gigawhattabytes.

Played the first two missions. Had fun. The game defaulted to all Highs for me, with one Medium (the effects one with high being Dof, it wouldn't let me select anything but low and medium". Shadows at this setting look shitty, that hatched effect on their edges. I set everything to the "Ultra" preset option and now shadows look far better cause the edges are blurred. No noticeable performance difference either. Woo.

I also learned my first "How not to suck" lesson: When you've got a big group of guys in a small space and order them to attack a dude, they'll only move close enough for the front guys to be in attack range, leaving the guys in the back all jammed up and unable to help in the fight. In that situation I should always order the group to manually move in close enough for everyone to reach before giving the attack command. Science!

Nice sountrack and sound-fx! Not really my type of game tho, never been into RTS's. But damn, we're on the credits, now I need to buy it!

Cheers wacko!

Cheers wacko!

I absolutely love the campaign so far (I played like 20 missions) and yeah the cutscenes are awesome. The UNN reports are hilarious by the way, especially when Raynor adds a bitter comment afterwards about Donny Vermilion. Tychus and Tosh are my favorite characters,

even if I was suspicious about Tosh's motives at first.

By the way my account is skacky / 697 on EU, if you ever want to play, I'm your man.

Cool of you wacko

The game is AWESOME. I just completed it on hard, playing through some of the missions now to get the achievements

The ending is everything that I hoped for, I really really am glad that they did this with the story <3

Theres a couple of choices you have to make a long the way. I selected to side with Tosh when that choice came up, but I never ended up using his specialist units. At the end you get the choice to neutrialize air (mutas & broodlords) or ground (nydus). I chose to destroy air, because I hate facing broodlords. On the very last mission, I tried doing as I always did: Just massing thors and having scv's repairing them. It didnt work out so well because the nydus' that spawn nubs overran me every time. I instead opted to mass battlecruisers and just send two to each nydus when they spawned and that made everything a lot easier.

Wow Skjalg, you're a machine! I'm only on like my 9th mission, and I've been playing it a lot, I thought

[Nysuatro]

Just bought it. But first have to finish Mass Effect 1 and 2 and read dead redemption.
