QUOTE(JackAlvins @ Aug 4 2010, 02:46 AM) I like Blizzard but I don't like Activision. dun need LAN as its lagless for me...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 So, it will be RM660 for your four years unless you wanna stay out of date.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: http://www.destructoid.com/kotick-i-would-...ld-143049.phtml 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. chat channels being implemented (read blue posts).. i love the custom map sorting based on popularity (sorting by popularity make sense as a comp scientist, even google rank by popularity lol)... hey there is still US servers rite besides SEA when 2 months is due? great storyline to me... high reviews worldwide.... top selling RTS of all time... its RM 190 for US version, just that SEA is costlier... and again i bought my SEA at 220... even if it last 1 year, its 220 per year = less than 20 per month lol... i paid RM 50 per month for WoW and 20 bucks for tunneling... this is so much cheaper =p compared to some people that spent few hundred clubbing hoping to get laid lol... and expansions would be cheaper since the engine is already there for reuse...

QUOTE(petrofsky77 @ Aug 4 2010, 03:13 AM) Well, if you are a fan of waiting for everything to subside, then get it just slightly before the next installment comes out somewhere in 2012, that is two years from now. By then, the Wings of Liberty title should be relatively cheap. But remember, prices might not go down as much as you probably hoped for since these so called 'expansion' titles are standalone versions too, which means that you can install and run them without having to buy the current title. maybe a battle chest or something...but knowing blizz in these few years, players would be given a separate expansion for upgrade via bnet (look at WoW) |

QUOTE(JackAlvins @ Aug 4 2010, 03:27 AM)  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. am the other players not in msia? not all of us have connection issues... LAN is just an excuse for piracy... tournaments copy do have LAN as stated... it is being implemented lol... if u wanna wait go ahead =p OMG wut u said showed that u dunno how the ranking works for sc2... all the same maps are put under a single entry, not multiple entries lol, thus the list would not be long at all... meaning all of the same TDs? they are only 1 single entry... this showed me that u just join the bashing bandwagon without experiencing it or even bother knowing about it... lol seriously u really wanna question me on ranking algorithms? why dun u tell me, how should it be ranked then  i paid RM 220, which is not USD 79 lol... just because u dunno where to get a better deal, doesnt mean other people could not so would u take a bet with me about the expansion price? i'm up for it  i am getting guild wars 2 when its out lol... i'm not rich, but i am working despite being 22, staying on my own and i know wut to spend my money on... unlike some people who claimed buying original is costly and rather spurge it all on clubbing, cybercafes etc (again as examples)... btw, i stopped my WoW subs this month just to get sc2...

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. :] if u intend to protest, why bother pirating it?

QUOTE(JackAlvins @ Aug 4 2010, 04:39 AM) evofantasy, you are being a failure due to your stupidity and laziness to understand. Maybe even read at all. so does that mean that any MMORPG should allow LAN since some places dun have internet?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're 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 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. SC2 is meant to promote eSport not LANsport... the whole LAN issue has been going on since it was announced and guess wut? the sales says otherwise (1.5 million copies within 48 hours)... every product have a targeted audience, it just not targeted at people without internet lol... and it is also not targeted at people that cant afford the game... sorry, from beta to release i didnt experience such clones as drastic as u mentioned... again, wut sorting algorithm would u suggest instead of popularity? u still haven answer me on this... "Are these three separate games? How much will all of these games cost? The StarCraft II Trilogy will consist of the base StarCraft II game and two expansion sets. Pricing on these games hasn't been determined at this early stage; however, we've always charged an appropriate price for the content the player receives, and we will continue to release high-quality games that offer great value." sourced from: http://us.starcraft2.com/faq.xml prices are yet to be named and u go gaga over the pricing issue unless u work with acti/blizz or u have a spy there  sorry but i read on the broader picture or u are following the wrong thing cause i am quoting from sc2 FAQ itself... being standalone doesn't mean the price is the same... how can affording a RM220 game make u rich lol... or u are seeing the future when the expansions do come out and i am rich?  thing is u cant even understand the exchange rate to know that sc2 is not selling at USD79 as u claimed over and over again... is it not blizz/ activision's fault for the price? i got mine at USD 69.59 based on today's exchange rate... dun tell me the person i bought from is selling at a lost as blizz selling them at USD79 LOL? i purchased mine 1 week after launch at a cheaper price, i find it worth it to get it this week cheaper by MYR28... the beta testing was meant to the TS, not u signifying that as a tester myself, if i am not happy wit the product i wont buy it... well u did claim QUOTE(JackAlvins @ Aug 4 2010, 03:27 AM) Added on August 4, 2010, 3:43 am Meanwhile, I'll just lanun as protest.

QUOTE(JackAlvins @ Aug 4 2010, 05:14 AM) I'll make this short: as usual evading my questions especially about the sorting of custom games...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! joining the bashing bandwagon without any concrete points sure stinks eh... the game is not perfect but no where as bad as u claimed it to be... good games deserve their price tag... development is not cheap and if u played the single player, u can see the amount of money, time and effort just to develop SC2... as the saying goes, good things dun come cheap... high reviews worldwide support the quality... 1.5M early buyers cant be wrong... hope ur campaign is successful, i'll be cheering for ur success from the Hyperion... i think the other 1.5million early buyers will to... after all we'll get cheaper expansions while enjoying WoL... |

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Aug 4 2010, 02:05 PM) 1) If you're talking about the so-called 'boycotters' of Modern Warfare 2Â in that steam group all playing MW2, then yes. In this case, no. MW2 boycott itself failed...2) If you read what I've been saying so far, the bulk of my complaints are directed at the SEA version. 1) Comparing apples to oranges... can you compare this to other games instead? 2) You obviously do selective reading on posts, please reread each post in the topic. 3) I agree with "one man's meat is another man's poison". The point I'm driving at is, game companies nowadays have too much influence over reviewers, with reviewers pressured to give good scores based on the game's heavy advertising on their sites, and threatening letters, etc. 4) I'm sorry you can't find any excuses to justify the SEA edition being so overpriced compared to other multiplayer-centric AAA titles. Too bad. And BFBC2 doesn't come with bullshit DRM like Spore, so why should I complain? EA was hated only because they pushed they were pushing that DRM nonsense that punished legitimate buyers back in 2008. 5) Activision also owns Blizzard. Activision can call the shots on marketing and prices, even if they said they'd give free rein to Blizzard over game development. Fanboy all you want, this thread shows that fanboys (who blindly support whatever their idols throw out regardless of quality) will buy the game and think it's good no matter how much they pay for less compared to its predecessors... and many of the butthurt just took BF:BC as the substitute... that's when the whole EA as the evil one become the holy one... 1. well see any MMORPGs out there, sub based or cash shop based... how much those cost? how bout xbox games with their XBL subs? all the other DLCs? all of these are much costlier and i dun see any QQ over it... 2. well to me if a 'game developer' would be supporting piracy, its just so ironic... as bad as a game is, it does not give u the excuse to pirate it... since its bad WHY ARE U PLAYING IT through PIRACY? 3. there are low reviews as well... that's y i linked metacritic which is a compilation of reviews out there and not a specific review for ur reading/ decision... 4. EA was where Activision is claimed to be now... milking IPs over n over again for sequels or killing the good IPs (CnC etc)... that was the main reason why it was hated, not the DRM etc... the hate started when EA was the biggest publisher in the world through the sport licensing etc... and that include the huge console gamers base as well about EA (look back at gamefaq back then)... 5. a bad publisher doesn't mean a bad game... games are associated to their developers and not really their publisher... as long as the price is justifiable, i'm ok wit buying it... Added on August 4, 2010, 2:26 pm QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ Aug 4 2010, 02:23 PM) well, some people is "arguing" that such actions, fan boys supporting "over priced" products will cause "inflation" as something like the prices of future products will be higher liao. well if the game is affordable why not?its not like 200 with 50bucks subs per month... or 500 one off...

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Aug 4 2010, 02:46 PM) The MW2 boycott failed, that's why gamers are now getting screwed in the butt by inflated prices. EA scored a coup by catering to the needs of PC players, so what? They're providing what Activision refused to provide to gamers, that's competition for you in a capitalist economy. They aren't holy though (eg. C&C4) nor did I ever say they are, I just said the whole BFBC2 package is a sound one that caters to the PC gamer community well and it's position being usually higher than MW2 in Steam's top sellers list is testament to that. 1. Neither SC2 nor BFBC2 are MMOGs and therefore don't use a MMOG payment system. On the PC platform there's no XBL subscription, those services died out years ago. 2. Maybe you should also question why some music artistes advice their fans to pirate their albums. 3. You quoted its average score, not the actual sound reviews there. 4. I quoted the most recent case of gamer hatred towards EA. 5. I didn't imply bad publishers cause bad games, rather in this case of Activision (or IAH or both), they set unjustifiable pricing with the SEA copy. If you actually read my comments on people inquiring if it's worth buying, I always said to look for the US edition. QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Aug 4 2010, 02:05 PM) 1) Comparing apples to oranges... can you compare this to other games instead? 1. u asked me about games... and i give u games... i dun see ppl complaining bout SSF4 or BB:CS when both are clearly standalone expansions...2. educate me on this... any links? 3. i did provide a link to metacritic, u dun expect me to copy paste all of the reviews rite lol... i'm not doing to do all the dirty work... 4. EA was hated way back from wut u quoted for being far worse than activision... just because of MW2, they decided to try and buy back gamers and it half worked... after all MW2 sales is HOT 5. US edition is RM 190 (exchange rage), SEA edition is RM 220 (u can get cheaper from the games section)... wut SEA offer is access to US server in roughly 2 months time... and of course it depends on ur frens as u would wanna play wit ur frens (thus i bought SEA) |

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Aug 4 2010, 03:13 PM) passing by and saw epic thread in the making..so i decided to drop in and give some opinion of my own.. developers find that MMORPGs with cash shops earn more than subscription based MMORPGs...cash shop based MMORPG u can just play for free and drop the game when u are bored with it. this one? u are forced to pay everything..and to be honestly, even though i am working right now, i still feel the price is rather above average..and i am still hesitating whether to get or not...in terms of gaming experience, i kinda like it, fun to be played yeah, sure, we arent suppose to pirate stuffs....but let's be honest here...are all ur applications, games, legit? yes? then what about ur MP3? if u answer all to these questions, that only meant u are bloody rich to have that much money to spend...for the majority of us, even working people, we got so many things to pay, and end of the month, we have only a few hundreds left to save up. If every game we want we get ori, i think we be broke edi. Jack Sparrow edition is more like a 'trial' of the game, if like, get ori, or else, delete and remove from HDD for the metacritics, compilation is why the score is not trustable....it is because more the sites that do game review are already pressured to give high score, i don see how compiling all the score would help in this case i agree with you on bad publisher doesnt mean bad game, but bad publisher are bad for reasons, and those reasons normally screw up the game on way or another affordable? maybe...depends, u might think RM220 is small amount, or cheap, but to many people, that is very expensive.. the game is not RM200 with RM50 per month, or RM500, but after the 3 expansion come out, what will be the grand total of the whole game? don tell me BS like u can just get the ori one and not the expansion...when expansion comes out, new units and feature are added, and people will just go ahead and play the expansion instead of the original, and in the end, the original game would most likely be abandon, like how it is on the first Starcraft..and when that happen, u will for sure go and buy the expansion also. On single player perspective also, the story continues, so u will need to get the new expansion to follow up with the story also. In the end, u will get all 3 games and have the grand cost of RM220x3 and ppl are having trouble with a one time sum for SC2? any AAA titles let it be ps3/ xbox is around the price itself... good games deserve their price... why u need to pirate to try the game? the game do have free trials/ guest pass rite? again JUST AN EXCUSE TO PIRATE metacritic do show all the reviews taken to obtain the average score... u can go through the reviews u know and not just look at the score... seriously, metacritic is meant for that not only looking at the average... total price in the end? u would never know... the game itself is as big as a game itself thus should be compared to other release game itself... just because its a trilogy doesnt mean u need to include the other 2 parts... and standalone expansions are cheaper (SSF4, BB:CS etc)... seriously, did blizz give out the price of heart of swarm/ legacy of the void that i've missed out? cause every1 is saying that its priced the same...

Yes, they're angels now compared to what they were before, but I'm not going to forget what they did as it could easily happen again (EA actually started out as a very good publisher) Activision may be evil now, but that doesn't suddenly exonerate EA from their past exploits.

Obviously a Dota fag. clearly the 1.5M copies sold within 48 hours is a lieclearly Tester and IntoTheRainbow is playing among themselves seriously, do u really need to take cheapshot at people? it only show how immature u are at handling discussion @ quaz i cant believe he called me a dota fag  a WoW player and a dota fag  This post has been edited by evofantasy: Aug 4 2010, 03:42 PM |

QUOTE(BBXiong @ Aug 4 2010, 03:43 PM) that's because even cash based MMORPG, ppl don usually spend more then RM220 on the game itself...what i see is they just spend a little sum of cash to get some of the stuff they really want....Free MMORPG normally have more players then subscription based one, they just come, spend RM10-20 on the game, play for a while, got bored, and leave...so the money counts and sums up to a greater amount. It's not like everyone spent Rm500 on the game clearly u never played F2P games...Sure, there are free trial and guest pass, but how many games have free trial? and how many guest pass is included in each retail copy purchase? if i have one retail copy with only 2 guest pass but 7 of my friends wanna try out? throw the 2 keys out, ask them fight for it and the last 2 standing gets the key ah? The amount guest pass are not enough. My friend that bought the game gave me one of the guest pass, so i was able to try on the game..but how about the rest of his friends that want to try? take from another guy? i bet it will be the same situation also. yeah, sure, metacritic is not for u to just look at the average, we know...but what about people that thinks their average score is trustable? they will then fall prey to game publisher's marketing tactic already, just saying, u cant trust reviews as much as back then right now due to all the media/publisher pressure blizzard have not announce the price of their expansion yet, but why everyone says it's gonna be the same? it shows that u really didnt read all the replies and the link they posted..here, as a reference, read this after the publisher's CEO said that, u expect cheaper price form expansion? for me, i don...heck, now that i mentioned it, expecting expansion to be same price seems to be rather optimistic too even LoTRO is going to such model... heck even some F2P games account sells 10times the worth of my WoW account (one of the top paladin in the server)... that's wut game reviews are for... they can share the keys, or they can try it at ur place... again, PIRACY IS NOT AN EXCUSE nor IT CAN JUSTIFY YOUR MEANS... what u say and what u do is a different thing... just because some1 said it, u cant take it for real... likewise, there is no concrete price for the expansions yet... |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Aug 4 2010, 03:50 PM) WoW vanilla was around 200 or u could just play pirate servers as they would suggest >.<expansions are around 150 each Subs are ~rm50/month WoW have over 12mil active concurrent subscribers, superseding ANY competition in the market currently. WoW is not free. i played WoW for 5 years and bought ALL the collector's edition except vanilla and ANOTHER retail copy to play it while i wait for shipment from USA. why i did that? i love the game. i was a student back then, i dont spend on anything else and save up for world of warcraft. i still managed to pay for it. Surely, i work now, and its even a non-issue. but the point being is that i set aside other things and made sacrifices and i am able to spend the 'supposedly' expensive spending for a game i love. even wit my having a gf, paying everything on my own (rental, car, utilities), giving my parents $$$ i could still afford the game... we all knew how much would sc2 gonna cost long before the same was coming out and already prepared for it... |

QUOTE(yimingwuzere @ Aug 4 2010, 03:52 PM) 1) I don't know about SSF4 as I've yet to see what extra content it adds in so I won't say anything about it. 1. its out for quite some time u know and was among the main event of EVO2010... and not long after SF4...2) Just one of the thousands of links you can find with google 3) The fact of the matter is you listed metacritic's average score and expected me to take that at face value. I don't look at aggregates. 4) That is what competition is for. And for all of EA's sins, they answered the PC gaming community with a product that satisfied them in a way MW2 didn't. 5) I might pick up the US version later, depending on whether I finish my backlog of steam summer sales purchases first. 2. well most of them are against it "Reznor's endorsement of illegal downloading comes at a time when artists, particularly well-established ones, are cracking down on sites illegally distributing their music." 3. again, dun expect me to copy paste all the reviews aka the dirty work 4. EA failed as MW2 sales is among the highest ever seen |
