whos getting starcraft II

Here is a better question. Who is not getting starcraft II?

Never enjoyed a Blizzard game.

Would rather play a game of Total Annihilation over SC or SC2 any day of the week.

Nobody in their right mind would pay for this junk so I'm pretty sure the better question IS "who is getting it" in the interest of keeping the answer short

I don't understand all the noncomformist hate for Starcraft? It's a great game, and while I'm a little disappointed that the sequel doesn't really try anything new (despite having 12 years to innovate), I can't say I'm NOT going to play it. Maybe it's not as great as Total Annihilation but they are still great RTS games?

I mean I get it if you don't like RTS games, and I get it if you're disappointed with it, but I'm a little surprised by all the NYUH UH NOT EVEN GONNA PLAY IT responses.

I think it's because it's an entirely worse game than the original after 12 years apart from graphics. Competitive players had their massively used lan play taken away and the intense micromanagement starcraft is famous for toned down and people who just want to play through the campaign have to buy 3 separate ones to cover the costs of cinematics and activision board of directors' gigolo blowjobs.

pretty sure it's more of a backlash against the 'this is THE game to play' garbage Blizzard is banking off of than 'nonconformist hate'. there really isn't any reason to think that anyone should be interested in this game other than well its supposed to be a big deal

um I am because in the long run it's a blizzard rts (I've always enjoyed them), I liked what I saw in the beta, the mapmaking tools are mad powerful and the 3 different campaign things doesn't bother me as much cause I realized Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Fable, and pretty much every Bioware RPG got away with doing the same thing so why should I be mad at Blizzard specifically?

I don't know anything about this starcraft campaign but none of the bioware games I played broke the campaign into separate chunks for no good reason. the neverwinter nights expansion packs were all standalone campaigns with expansion content. baldur's gate II is pretty much a whole new game and it functions as a standalone campaign. you can complete the Baldur's Gate campaign in its entirety without being obligated to import that character into BGII and start a whole new story

Alright, I can't comment on the competitive aspect but I really am surprised how many people here play it competitively, but I can say I don't get this bullshit bitching about buying three separate copies. You're not, you're buying SC2 and then two expansions. SC2 contains as many missions as SC1, just not spread out over three races. I guess that rubs people the wrong way, I don't really care that much. I liked Dawn of War's campaign, and that was only like 12 missions and you only played the Space Marines. People are complaining like you only get 10 Terran missions or something. Every RTS ever gets an expansion, and whatever you say about them, Blizzard has NEVER been skimpy with their expansions.

How about "I grew up playing SC1 with my friends in our school's computer lab and I'm excited about the sequel"????? As shitty as Phantom Menace was, you can't fucking tell me you were surprised that people were excited about a new Star Wars. This was an iconic game when I was 12, of course I'm excited to try the sequel.
