Starcraft 2

[PogoP]

45 quid to download it for pc seems fucking extortionate! No way I'm paying that much. Gonna wait til the price comes down.

The second paragraph is worth reading. Some screens might make your pc very hot.

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

haha I woke up early tuesday morning, went to check if I had gotten the game in the mail. I hadn't, so I ran to the closest store and bought it and played it through in one sitting, which was about 18 hours total.

Skjalg :

Massing tanks with Science Vessels, Bunkers and Battlecruisers is a good strategy too against the Nydus scenario. I did this and only suffered losses when Kerrigan came and fucked them. But otherwise you just sit and drink your beer.

You can even add mercenaries to help you, especially the Siege Breakers who are absolute killing machines.

Anyway I finished it too and it was GREAT. The part with Tassadar and the Overmind was very cool, it's strange to see Tassadar talking of the Overmind like that. Oh and the "End of time" mission was effing awesome, I held the position for 45 minutes before I was completely overrun. Zeratul died first, followed by Urun, Artanis (with a badass portrait!), Selendis and Mohander.

Definitely worthy of its predecessor.

The first couple of hours of play I didn't experience any problems at all, but lately its begun crashing a lot around mission selection and when a mission has been completed. So much in fact that I've saving every 5 minutes just to be safe.

Weird that none of this was happening before. Now it's basically happening all the time :G

Best singleplayer experience I've had in a long time, not only in an RTS. I was worried the parts between missions on the Hyperion could be tedious or gimmicky, but it works sooo well...

[Skjalg]

Ah lol I've played 2/4 of the Zeratul missions and I have no clue how to replay them :S

"Certain screens make your hardware work pretty hard," the known issues portion of the site reads, "screens that are light on detail [like a menu screen] may make your system overheat if cooling is overall insufficient." It's a result of the game "drawing the screen quickly." The workaround is to cap the game's frame rate by digging and adjusting file values.

lol, wtf.

i guess code wise it's one of those very basic bugs, that no one remembers to fix before shipping.

[PogoP]

How much did you guys pay for it? I really want to play it but don't wanna shell out 30+ for a PC game!

£34.99, worth the price though.

$65 USD including tax. Could have shopped around and got it cheaper but I had the box in my hand and couldn't resist. I usually never get a game if it's over $50, Blizzard games seem to be the exception though.

I fear you'll have to restart another campaign, because once you're on Char, you can't come back to the Hyperion.
