Post by: archnemesis on March 09, 2013, 10:47:46 AM: I might pick up a copy for the single player campaign. The learning curve for the multiplayer is too steep for me to bother with it.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on March 09, 2013, 10:49:37 AM: Just don't know if there is a point in picking it up at launch then, although I have giftcards :drool

Post by: archnemesis on March 09, 2013, 11:07:37 AM: It's a Blizzard game. Don't expect any large price drops.

Title: Re: Goty is almost out, SC2: Heart of the Swarm
Post by: Phoenix Dark on March 09, 2013, 12:49:11 PM: No LAN but I gotta say they have added a lot of features we have been asking for since SC2's release. Clan support, option to view replays with friends, Unranked custom games, and most importantly the ability to recover games after disconnects/computer problems. While I'm still peeved I have to pay an extra $40 for some features that were in SC1 before Brood War, at least they've been added finally

Hopefully this breaths some life into the SC2 community but I doubt it'll be long term. People have really moved on to dota games, and an expensive expansion won't help attract new people. Esports wise a lot of teams have disbanded, sponsors aren't as supportive as they once were, etc.

I dunno if I'll get it on launch day but I'm definitely buying it this month.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on March 09, 2013, 01:38:21 PM: Dota is pretty crap though compared to sc imho.

Plus sc is worth it for the sp alone.

Post by: archnemesis on March 17, 2013, 05:24:12 PM: I thought it was an improvement compared to the Terran story arc.

Post by: mjemirzian on March 17, 2013, 05:36:59 PM: Every time they get a random DC during a major tourney, my decision to not buy SC2 is vindicated.
Title: Re: Goty is almost out, SC2: Heart of the Swarm
Post by: archnemesis on March 17, 2013, 05:39:29 PM: Is that affecting the people who're playing or just spectators?

Now they can restart the game without losing anything :bow

Post by: archnemesis on March 20, 2013, 03:50:13 PM: If it wasn't for silly region restrictions and separate friends lists I might have played a few multiplayer games.
