You smug, smug man.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Most likely between 30 and 70 US$

hell yeah I'm smug considering the RRP here in Australia supposed to be around 100 AUD and thats a preorder too.

Man, I'm not sure what to do with this anymore. Once upon a time I was hyped as hell. Then they split it into three games. I figured "that's pretty underhanded, but whatever, it's friggin Starcraft II". Since then, though, I've become increasingly disgusted with Activision-Blizzard. Not to mention all the crap they've been doing with the online service. So I find myself fighting between my fan instinct and disgust with the company behind it.

... Maybe I'll just compromise and wait until the whole thing's put into a cheap battle chest.

... Maybe I'll just compromise and wait until the whole thing's put into a cheap battle chest.

But that's too long of a wait.

Honestly, I'd put the blame on Activison. Since Bobby Kotick is the son of the devil, he wants everybody to pay lots for each individual campaign. Blizzard was only a pawn in the grand scheme of things when Activision bought them.

Don't reeeemiiiined meeeeeeeee.

The more I think about it the more torturous the thought of waiting that long becomes. X_x

I've tried to, but honestly, I find it tough. They're a merged company now. It's getting difficult to just ignore Blizzard amidst all this.

Activision pissed me off even before the merger and I'd hate to pass on a game I've waited well over a decade for, but it's kind of tough not to just stick to my guns and pass, at least until it's dirt cheap.

I mean, Activision practically expects everyone who thinks like me to get over it because STARCRAFT, like they admitted the same for Modern Warfare, but in those instances they pretty much end up winning. Worse still, they know it.

Decisions, decisions...

US price is 59.99 +tax.

By the way I was standing there wanting to buy a copy badly but didn't and then I saw people I knew who were openly opposed to buying it then they just grabbed a copy and said hi. I laughed, but then went back to wanting the game.

Damnit, you think you're done with them but then they pull back down the Nydus Canal!!!

I'll probably wait until November or December to get it. I just spent $170 on a graphics card.

Supposedly, Wings of Liberty is supposed to have more content than StarCraft and Brood War combined. I highly doubt that's entirely all gameplay though.

I heard Single Player Campaign was 60 hours long.

Talk about getting your money's worth and that's just one part of the saga.

game spoilers --Click here to view--

Well the game isn't exactly linear. But I really want to know if I can kill Mengsk or if Kerrigan kills him, I HATE THAT OLD MAN!!! Because you see Kerrigan as a human you have to wonder if she's still in there. Even if she is the Swarm.

[catsi563]

Ive had some speculation for awhile that they were planning on separating Kerrigan from the queen of blades. some fo the events of one fo the starcraft novels presaged a connection between her and Jimmy.

[Cloud]

Dammit, just went out to buy a copy. All electronic stores in my vicinity are all sold out.

Time to order online!

[Insurrection]

Uh, True, it wasn't really a spoiler of events I was actually wondering what happens because I haven't gotten the game yet.

[Cloud]

Bought from Gamestop online. Shipped, will probably get it tomorrow or so!

See you online, True!

I just finished the main campaign... for the first time, anyway.

The story definitely does not disappoint.

Haven't done any multi yet, but when I do I'll post here.

The achievements are a pain in the rear. Honestly, some of them are ridiculously hard on normal even.

Gotta go through many playthroughs to even touch them.

You're right about the story though. Liked the ending .;D

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Hrm, so my download of Starcraft 2 seems to be working fine, but I can't test the actual game itself since I...need to register this game, and we all know I shouldn't! Anyway, if all the stuff (main menu, opening cinematic etc.) in the begi works all right (no lag even), you think I should buy it/rent it from a friend?
