Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Eduardo24 on May 18, 2007, 12:01:30 PM: I have wondered this for a while now... do you compete in tournaments? You give the impression that you compete in fighting game tournaments.

Post by: MrAngryFace on May 18, 2007, 07:02:26 PM: I hope if it IS SC2 they put as much effort into the single player as the first games. I dont do the online play longer than a few weeks, exceptions being maybe AOE3/Rise of Legends/Kohan

Post by: Prost on May 18, 2007, 09:21:46 PM: k people say "omg if sc2 it wont be out for 3 years"

ok first off wrong, it's not a fucking mmo they need to create a whole world for.

some douche will make 50 maps, some guy will give the units pathing, and the lame story will be made while alpha is out.

alpha will be soon imo.

"1:24pm Looks like we were on to something when we reported that the name 'Medusa' would be in the title. The minor faux pas in the itinerary Blizzard handed me last night revealed a 'Medusa Demo' after the developer Q&A session scheduled for today. 1UP reported on this detail, and a few minutes ago a Blizzard rep casually asked me "So, um, how did you hear about Medusa?' CONFIRMED. Still don't know what the title is, though, and apparently the new Starcraft game won't be revealed until later in the show. "Blizzard doesn't shoot its load in the first few minutes, dude" is what I was told, if I recall correctly. True that! OK, be back in about a half hour to report on this stuff as it happens. The stage has two booths set up with PCs inside, presumably to host a live, on-stage Starcraft showdown. Cure screaming girls, and most probably fireworks (as the phalanx of on-stage pyrotechnic cannisters suggest)."

I actually have no basis for disliking diablo 2, just I'm not big on dungeon hacks to begin with but I liked diablo 1 because I played it one summer with a friend and I didn't get that same experience with 2.

Also people who dislike Nintendo clearly have no soul.
Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on May 19, 2007, 03:16:14 AM: given that diablo 2 does everything diablo 1 does and then adds massive, massive improvements in terms of depth and mechanics on top of it, i'd argue that anyone who not only claims that diablo 1 > diablo 2 but that 1 is great while 2 is crap is, in fact, OBJECTIVELY DUMBZ0RZ.

Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: brawndolicious on May 19, 2007, 06:31:21 AM: It's the first game to really introduce the basics of time/money management in how you build your army but it's really easy to get and everybody knows how to play it so it got very popular. You can probably find the story somewhere (it's lengthy) but the game recommends you play the campaigns in order. Has an expansion called Brood Wars.

Post by: Solo on May 19, 2007, 08:55:28 AM: So fucking disappointed. I like WarCraft, but not MMORPGs, so I didnt like WoW. I dont like StarCraft period, so this does nothing for me. On the other hand, Im a total Diablo whore, and not getting III fucking blows. And since this is Blizzard, they wont announce Diablo III for at least 2 more years. See you in 2009, Blizzard :(
Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow

What is your problem? Why would you expect them to reveal Diablo III in South Korea, at a competitive gaming event?
Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Solo on May 19, 2007, 02:11:19 PM: I dont give a shit about geographic regions and their gaming trends. They could have announced this in Pittsburgh or Bangladesh and Id still want it to be DIII.

Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Phoenix Dark on May 19, 2007, 02:35:00 PM: Diablo 3 is coming. At the Q&A they mentioned that SCII has been in development since 2003, when they finished Frozen Thrown. Around 40 people are working on the game with unlimited resources. Now...we know Blizzard has a pretty huge staff. It's not hard to imagine that Blizzard has a third team working on Diablo to some degree or another.
Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Van Cruncheon on May 19, 2007, 03:10:45 PM: i know for a fact that "diablo 3" is being worked on, and has in fact had versions scrapped a couple times for one currently in development. i was just hoping it was closer to release :( blizzard sucks!

Post by: Cheebs on May 19, 2007, 09:35:49 PM: World of Warcraft is one of the worst games released this decade and perhaps the worst game purchase I have made in memory and I never got addicted to Starcraft(though its a good game I admit) so come on Blizzard, give me Diablo.

I doubt Solo expected D3. No one did, but all the same we WANTED it to be D3.
Fuck no we didn't.

Post by: Scurvy Stan on May 20, 2007, 05:39:07 AM: After playing a game with each race in SC:BW for the first time in two years I'm actually now kinda looking forward to what SC2 is going to be like. I lost all three games but I find I had the most fun with the zerg and all their spawning and evolving and shit. The terrans are kinda 'meh' and the protoss are too quirky to be fun as I kept forgetting wtf did what, etc with them. Funny because when I used to play regularly years ago the protoss were my favorites and I thought the zerg were stupid. I'll probably play a couple more games tomorrow and see if I can actually beat someone this time.
Title: Re: StarCraft 2 tomorrow
Post by: Candyflip on May 20, 2007, 05:42:34 AM: If any of you want to, I'll play with you all tomorrow. I haven't played Starcraft in a long time. I used to be decent, but I forgot a lot. Remember to play Lost Temple :D

Post by: Prost on May 21, 2007, 11:32:55 AM: I've been playing off and on the past couple weeks. I had a time back when I consistently competed with the best players on bnet, and was even random during that time! But times have changed and I mostly just go into 3v3 BGH and 3v3 ZC just so I can win some games. I'll do some luna, r point, or temple. I'd like to learn the newer WGTour maps if anyone's up for 1v1ing on all the different ones.
