    The trilogy and the overseer.

    I hate to be the one to rant about things i really dislike, and i know i'll probably get replies from you guys that will be against my opinion. However I think sc2 is trash in comparison to the first classic game.
    - Unit/Structure graphics are too "cartoony?" Starcraft 1 strived to produce realistic objects, especially since it was only 1998. MOvement such as lifting off structures is too rapid and unrealistic. Come on, all these years of anticipation and this is what they came up with?
    - As a concept artist I hate how the initial sketches evolved to stupid, impractical devices. Far too much exaggeration in units, abilities and movement.
    - The sounds couldn't be more corny as of what I've heard so far, and not to mention using the same sounds from the first game (I dont know whether they are only temporary or whatnot so i wont get to excited about that)
    - The super units are a bad addition. Overpowered units ruin games, like the titans in age of mythology. Also why does thor look like a complete asshole, jesus blizzard needs to work on that.

    I like...
    - the Terrain, it looks very detailed and artistic. cool

    Overall sorry for misinterpreting things or giving annoying opinion but I honestly registered to this forum to post this thread, as a long-time starcraft fan. Sc2 will never amount to its original and theres no doubt the ratings will be signifigantly worse.

    for the last time


    THERE ARE NO SUPERUNITS ANYMORE

    thor is just a AA shooter
    Mothership is just a caster with high HP
    Queen just has a lot kick ass spells

    you can build as many of them as you want, and they are in the process of being balanced correctly

    Trying to make it gritty.

    Even if it looks good, I liked the bright visuals.

    well you can build as many Thors and Queens as you want, but the last i heard the Mothership is once again one per person at a single time.

    nope, isnt like that anymore
     
  8. Way to judge something for failure before giving it a chance. It's fine to say you're worried about a few things here and there but to flat out say it sucks and will be terrible or less than the original before playing the game? That's just ignorant.

    -- Also, a lot of the things you don't like about the game comes from misinformation.

    The Colossus is too weak !! It should be stronger !

    The size of the Thor, please reduce its size !!

    Remodel the battlecruiser a little bit. It is too warcraftish, too fat, too ugly !!




    thank you

    Wow, the amount of dislikes in this thread is just.......stupid IMO,

    Disliking the trilogy idea? oh come on, this idea will be their most epic based idea ever
    Overseer? Ofc they have their transporting ability back but who knows what would happen to the Nydus Worm but the overseer is a caster with useful abilities such as changeling etc
    Colossus? I thought one member already said this already, the colossus now has a specific role making the unit itself unique
    All of the badass units (queen, thor, MS)? These guys are like any other units, don't think like they're superunits, they're units with great stats/abilities

    These dislikes are almost ignorant....or maybe full on ignorant for all i can say however my dislike is:

    -In need of wanting SC2 right now, i can wait but every time i see the videos, i feel i really want this game

    You have no idea how inflation works, do you?
     
  16. You have no idea how to multiply do you?

    Also, I wouldn't have to know how inflation works. The government provided CPI inflation calculator does it for me.

    Edit is my worst enemy.

    Tychus, all you are saying that somehow inflation will make 50$ now be like 20$ in the future, while your own money continues to be worth 50$. Not to mention inflation does not make things cheaper, it makes things more expensive.

    50 dollars to 150= 3 times as expensive. And no, think for yourself next time. The end.

  19. ......

    No, I said 50$ in 1998 = 75$-80$ today. Meaning, with inflation, if StarCraft and StarCraft: Brood War were released today and cost the same amount it would cost you about 125$. StarCraft 2 trilogy will cost about 150$. There's a 20$-25$ difference. Big deal. That couldn't possibly break your bank if you were willing to pay 100$ to begin with.


    Think before you speak.

    So, you honestly thought that StarCraft 2 wasn't going to get an expansion so now you're mad that you're getting to pay for additional content? There's no other explanation for how you would think that StarCraft 2 and all of it's future installments would only cost 50$. All that's happening is that we're getting one extra expansion that will make the overall cost about 25$ more than we're used to. Don't freak out!

    -- Also, you edited your above post so I guess you only edit your post when it's not bothersome to others to neglect that.

    Look, the first game would be probably released in a year. Inflation is 3%. No real change to speak of in terms of price. You also forget that your own money inflates aswell, meaning that 50$ relative to your money ten years ago is the same as 125$ to your money today. This is not really affected by inflation, because you do not know what inflation is and how it affects things.

    I want to have all races in 1 game, and I want the game to cost 50$ or whatever is the standard price for a single-disk game. Then I would be willing to pay another 50$ for the expansion, just like brood war. What they are doing, they just split the game into 3 parts, which all cost as a single game, a very nifty form of ''expansion''. I couldnt care less for any ''additional content'' and further expansion packs, when I dont have the full game at once. They are saying- additional content- more money. Alright, but I want the full standard game first!
