I like Blizzard but I don't like Activision.
I like StarCraft but I don't like StarCraft II as it is now.

No LAN.
No chat channels.
No proper sorting of custom maps. The same ones will be at top of list.
No US server access for SEA for two months.
No satisfying storyline.

Not worth. Wait.

Hmm.. I hate to bring you bad news but I give it 2 years at most. Did anyone mention you're gonna have to pay at those prices two more times within the next four years? There will be 2 more expansions. STANDALONE expansions! It means they can run as separate full games. Hence full prices. RM220 again 2 more times. So, it will be RM660 for your four years unless you wanna stay out of date.

USD60 is the raised price of the original game from USD50. You're supposed to be paying RM170 for a standard original game. The more people buying such prices, the more Activision are going to raise the price even further. Even Bobby Kotick says he wants to raise prices even higher:

Not to mention SEA version around retailers are basically USD79 rather than the USD75 claimed from the press release. Lack of patience. Lack of resistance to temptation. You reap what you sow. Thunder. Whirlwind. Hell, it's not the time.

You don't need to be ashamed and make up reasons for having bought it too early. What's done is done. Bandwagoning and marketing are strong patterns in Malaysia.

We want LAN not just because of lag. What if you're in an area without Internet access but have 4 laptops and each with SC2 installed? Even if you have, you should not forget the coverage, costs and reliability of Malaysia's Internet?
NOT WORTH IT YET.

Yeah, chat channels are not there at launch. Wow, USD79 for NO CHAT CHANNELS FTW! Also, WHEN is it EXACTLY coming?
NOT WORTH IT YET.

No, it doesn't make sense. Fail computer scientist. You get all the same Tower Defense map at the top when people make those new final fantasy, fps, rpg maps remain at the bottom/last page(and nobody sees or plays them).
NOT WORTH IT YET.

Yeah, but you paid USD79. It's not here yet.
NOT WORTH IT YET.

Oh, you're a WOW player. That explains a lot. Hey, Guild Wars 2 is coming next year. Wait, you have a lot of money. Never mind. You're not one of those I need to inform.

Expansions won't be cheaper. I am 100% sure. You failed to understand what they said in the articles about this. This is very telling of your desperation to justify your early purchase. Please don't. You're making it more painful for your impatience.

Clubbing is irrelevant. There are people who don't club who have yet to know about the problems with SC2.

SC2 IS NOT WORTH IT........... YET.

Added on August 4, 2010, 3:43 amI'm willing to pay full price but I am trying to make a dent in their quarterly report so that they will see and not maintain USD60 as standard price and hopefully drop the price. We have to fight for our consumer rights. You guys aren't helping but I won't blame you.

I'll buy by next quarter or if there is a sale or end of the year at most where hopefully they have most of the features added and problems solved. Meanwhile, I'll just lanun as protest. I'll eventually buy it anyway as I'm a mapmaker but I'll remain anonymous on this site. :]

evofantasy, you are being a failure due to your stupidity and laziness to understand. Maybe even read at all.

Connection issues? You're really dim. Some areas don't have access to Internet or are too expensive for people to afford!

You mean you haven't experienced the 100s dota clones, td clones, zerg blood clones? All those will stay up there pushing down those nice new rpgs, fps, UMS and other map types. I can gladly say you have no right to argue. You lack the experience to understand the problems.

Oh, I'm willing to bet with you for the expansion price. RM500. Because you don't understand what you read it seems. That is why I will win the bet. Hey, just because BLIZZARD ALREADY SAID SO in the articles but I guess it's alright to lose your money, rich guy. I have been following SC2 development even before it was announced which is why I know Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void will be fully priced, rich guy. So, do you still want to bet? Easy money.

Also, what has anything got to do with beta-testing? I am also phase 1 beta-tester myself. Hell, I even beta-tested SC1. evofantasy, I am not lying.

You better re-read what I have posted. You have bought yours so fine. Your claim that I make excuse for piracy? Hey man, I'm gonna buy it so I will own a legitimate license. It's will be legit. I am one of the early buyers of original software ranging from the original SC to Quake.

You? You're just grasping straws to reason for your impatient purchase which have proven again and again that you don't even try to understand what was posted.

Are you sure you're a paying customer of ActiBlizzard? Or are you just their dog? If not then you should know to read and understand what you are getting and not getting as a customer and not simply reply me with horribly structured posts.

I am a paying customer of Blizzard and I know what I don't want. No deal with Blizz for SC2. I can wait. You couldn't. You failed. EZ.

I'll make this short:

Read every interview if you want to know what is in Blizzard or rather Activision's mind.

There are better games out there worth spending RM220 for right now.

Piracy issue. THEY DELAY. I DELAY. EZ.

Plus I am helping out in the campaign to have the price lowered. Lower price. More people buy. More people play. More fun. Look at this now. Everything feels so artificial. It's like you're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where the train will take you? Because we'll be...... NO, YOU'LL BE ALONE! f*** YOU ACTIBLIZZ! SO IT MATTERS!

Everything is explained since my first post in this thread. You enjoy your fail.

Hmm... evofantasy seems really damn lazy. Even googling also like damn hard to do. Failure at its finest. Trying to rebuke everything I said just because I pirate? Because your momma says pirating is wrong? You don't understand piracy well enough as I do because you've proven time and time again that you don't read. Enjoy living in the past.

Everyone else, if you bought your game then great, go ahead enjoy it. I'm just raising the awareness that maybe sometimes it is a better idea to wait and see first. There is nothing wrong with having the game but there seems to be something wrong if you're evofantasy.

I am willing to pay for the game.

I will eventually buy the game.

But I am doing a protest because I don't like game and its implementation right now to hopefully to make a dent in quarterly earnings to send a message to ActivisionBlizzard so they don't do a lot of things right for us consumers. Oh yeah, I'm not gonna help with evofantasy's lazy ass to google but IAH has a history as well. Look it up.

At the moment, Korea is not receiving SC2 favourably. But there will still be sponsors and competitions. I predict only WarCraft 3 level of success. unless they do some big patch and big changes. It's obvious evofantasy is a rich spoilt brat who just wants his voice heard in the lyn community. He says really nothing useful except demonstrate how bad he is at comprehension. That is all.

Obviously, you don't know how much of a success StarCraft was. Obviously a Dota fag.

I did not. He did not. I did too. He did too.
Lighten up. You're not living up to your namesake.

It isn't exactly an insult either. You're being overly sensitive.

Yep. That is why I decided to post less and not bother so much anymore early in the thread.
