Not really a problem with the game overall, just the dumb storyline sort of annoy me.
Also, the awful custom game menu and lack of chatroom. This post has been edited by Cheesenium: Aug 10 2010, 04:22 PM |

QUOTE(chulk @ Aug 10 2010, 04:31 PM) EA isnt as bad as you think.At least the storyline for Mass Effect 1 and 2 actually make sense and being a fun, epic game to play. At the same time, Bioware actually made a non linear story based game that actually work without glaring plot holes popping out, unlike SC2's non linear campaign which is a pile of crap, at best. SC2's storyline doesnt even make sense. One minute fighting against Dominion, next minutes, Valarian comes and ,oh, lets fight Kerrigan. Tonnes of undeveloped plot in the whole game. Also, not to forget about the characters are completely awful. None of them are memorable and full of cliche, as they are just generic characters. Those who spend their money for only the single player portion of the game, probably gonna shoot themselves, as they paid so much money for a game with awful storyline. What a great story you have, Blizzard. I really do hope that Blizzard making such an awful story is to lay down foundation for Hearts of the Swarm. Rather than ruining the whole SC Universe with a bad fan fiction. This post has been edited by Cheesenium: Aug 10 2010, 04:53 PM |

3 things i am very unhappy bout sc2,
1st too similar with sc1.. just feels like sc1 with nice 3D graphics.. 2nd the lack of LAN connection n too internet dependent protection.. in my area, internet connection is a hell of instability with ping to tmnet at 900ms most of the time, i am no kidding.. due to most of my female housemates using PeePeeArse.. can u imagine the connection to bnet? besides, majority of the campaign only focus on one single race, i waited for 12yrs for only this half-finished Sp? other than that, I am quite happy with it. I can see there are lot of potential for the game engine n editor. |

QUOTE(chulk @ Aug 10 2010, 05:10 PM) C&C4 is bad,even back in the Beta, but does that mean that other EA games is awful?I enjoyed RA3, ME1, ME2, DA, Burnout: Paradise, BFBC2, Shift, Fifa 2010 and a lot of older EA games. Some of them are really great games. Just because EA made one gawd awful game (not to forget about the utterly crap new MoH MP, but a very promising SP), EA sucks as a whole? Seriously, you do need to play games made by different developer. Activision Blizzard isnt perfect too. Blur is a piece of crap on PC, as the controls is almost unusable or the pile of crap Prototype. Using your logic, Activision Blizzard sucks too? QUOTE(goldfries @ Aug 10 2010, 05:11 PM) ehh, picky la you. Im not being picky, just that Blizzard isnt doing up to expectations with the campaign.the characters were memorable, but not that good a way. Raynor like the great american hero. Kerrigan like villain. More funny i find is the scientist and mechanic stereotype. Tychus like some bad-ass. I quite like the Tosh character. love the cinematics though. Gameplay-wise, i say it's the best RTS campaign, but story wise, it's awful as they left a lot of things unexplained. I admit the storyline is actually very good, after reading summaries from those SC novels/manga that explain a lot about what is happening. Blizzard did set up a good starting point for Hearts of the Swarm at the end of Wings of Liberty, but there are just too little explanation in the game itself that made it feels empty. While the non-linear storyline makes the game feels disjointed at some point, as if the campaign has multiple plot running simultaneously. Kerrigan just feel like a typical villain that shots fireballs,unlike the way she way portrayed in Brood War where she is a cold, heartless b****. Would be great if they actually have an in-game encyclopedia like what Witcher, Mass Effect 1/2 or Dragon Age have, since game is bad at story telling,generally. Words always do better at story telling. The video during installation did really well, but it still miss out a lot like UED in Brood War.

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Aug 10 2010, 06:26 PM) If StarCraft 2 is cheap (<RM200), got LAN, no region lock, 3 episodes all included, can be played on low-end computer, Bnet got chatrooms and friends arent limited, .........StarCraft 2 will garner a metascore rating of 99/100 which will beat Half Life 2 I am pretty sure they will improve on the Bnet interface & functionality down the road. This is their first time launching the newly revamp battle.net right? (I have not play WOW, so not really sure about it.)Besides that I am glad Blizzard decided to release more Starcraft games. 1. No World of Starcraft right off the bat after SC2:WOL. If Blizzard shift their entire focus on MMO then it's really GG for me. 2. More polished & unique RTS Singleplayer campagin. The more the merrier. 3. I am bored with build-your-army-&-destroy-everything kind of mission in all the other RTS. This include SC1 which i basically just type "Show Me The Money" and speed run the SP campaign of all 3 faction so I can jump on the multiplayer ASAP. My only beef is with the custom game navigation. My biggest concern for the moment is - how do i play unpopular map? I doubt anyone gona join the game even if i create one myself. |

Heh went to Netmaster last week to play, the line (Unifi 20mbps) KO'ed. I suspect that there are too many connections from a single IP to bnet. Everyone couldn't connect to Bnet at all! Other websites and all are fine.
Really miss the LAN! |

i think the dump players are taking on SC 2 is getting funny
to be honest, i was one of those players that were disappointed initially for the lack of other race missions for the single player, but in the end, the fun is still there and im still spending loads of time on the game. I just hope the next 2 chapters would come cheaper alot than RM250 DotA fans should stop trying to blame or scorn SC2 for its lack of having the stage to implement its gameplay into it, SC2 wasnt even made for DotA in the 1st place. (i do love DotA, but c'mon, its just dumb hating for that reason) So overall, the game is still awesome even its under EXPECTATIONS of die hard fans, i know it as ive waited so long myself after SC & Brood War. Thank god we had Half-Life 2 to kill some time This post has been edited by The Amateur Working Bee: Aug 30 2010, 10:44 AM |

To whoever own starcraft 2
Is this game worth the price of RM 249 (at wangUtama)? Anyone develops buyer's remorse syndrome after parting RM 249 of your hard earned $$ for SC2 ? I'm still thinking whether to get this game or not... Hmmmm.. |

I dont know if this is one of the problem for quad core users...
I myself using Intel i5 2.67ghz processor and HD5770 vaporX 1gb.. 1920 x 1080 resolution.. But when it comes to battle of many many units (which all the units are full of ur screen), it becomes lag and spiky.. I wonder if this game does not support quad core or its my rig problem? |

QUOTE(JuzJoe @ Sep 11 2010, 06:33 PM) sc2 ultilizes dual core, however your os and the game itself will offload to the remainder cores to avoid the 2 cores being too stressed out.in other words, quadcores/latest icore5/7 are recommended, however you only really need dual cores. |

Don't understand why is there a confusion when Quaza's meaning is clear - you need RAID 0 or SSD otherwise your HDD is a bottleneck. Also implying that Samsung F3 doesn't cut it.
Nothing to do with need, just optimising. |

So, to those who wants to play Starcraft 2 without any lag has to use SSD or RAID 0 ?
That would a joke of the year isnt it? |

All i can say is. Blizzard had 10 years of development time to make a great game, campaign and multiplayer features.
I'm going to compare what S2 did with HoN (although i find it stupid to merge with Pirate King <--- ), They did most of the online features right in just 2 years of development. Says loads about Blizzard now. You had 10 years Blizzard, at the very least you could have foreseen disconnect issues in official tournaments or matches like what HoN did. 10 Years! 10 Years to figure out who'd be your best partner in the industry, 10 years to figure out the best things to be included in an online system. There is no excuse for something that took that long to develop or plan (or learn from) to make so many mistakes during its release. Pfft, if i could vote for all things listed, i would have. The game isn't bad, but i'd expect better from a company of their stature. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Sep 20 2010, 04:09 AM) No offense here brother but I find your post to be extremely misleading and untrue not to mention the fact that you even tried to bash the others just because they were doubting you which simply shows your ignorance. HDDs DO NOT affect the performance of SC2 in game as long as you have a decent 7.2k RPM HDD but of coursse unless we are talking about the game loading time which is the last thing we would want to care about or else a 7.2k rpm HDD will do just fine. The issue jason18689 is facing is due to his mid end graphic card. Supposedly, 5770 should be more than sufficient for starcraft 2 but we all know how stressful it will be for our graphic cards to handle when it comes to a huge battle with a large amount of units in 3D (Ultra settings) not to mention the fact that Blizzard type of games are usually pro Nvidia. Heck, even a high end Nvidia GTX470 will give me similar problems when there are hundreds of units engaging in a battle for a 4v4 game, let alone a mid end 5770. Before you start questioning my credibility, yes I've tried SC2 on different systems (including systems with SSD) and made relevant comparisons so I obviously know what I'm talking about here. SSD will no doubt improve your gaming experience due to the faster loading time but graphic card is still the most important thing when it comes to 3D gaming experience.

Added on September 27, 2010, 9:05 am » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « it does to a certain extent during game (of course, this is subjected to how much rams you have available, and will most certainly affect 32bit users as to say, 64bit users), and it most certain affects your loading times and unless you're looking to being lumped together with the few previous posters, NO ONE said anything about NEEDING SSDs or RAID0's. In case you did not know, almost HALF the settings in the graphic options are based on your processor, NOT graphic card. and what jason18689 is "facing", is his inquiry on sc2 support towards quad core. and with this post, AND his signature, considering he is on 4gb ram, he is probably having VRAM page filing during game and that WILL be affected by HDD. also, with more units, more effects will be present, and more PHYSICS calculation will be needed. THAT is affected by processor, NOT graphic card. so no, while it may be the most important thing for games like FPS (lol crysis), when it comes to Blizzard games like WoW/SC2, it definitely will not be the most important thing and it most certainly wont matter when you're bottlenecked by your CPU (or in rare cases, HDD/RAM) in case you're missing his post, refer this: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=36239715 lastly, fanboyisms aside, regardless if blizzard games are pro-nvidia or not, ATI drivers are known to be, "problematic" and tend to not ultilize the card's full potential. how else is Nvidia still friggin alive when almost every card ATI releases are cheaper and performs better than nvidia in terms of raw performance. all in all, if you think im bashing/flaming/trolling without any base, think again.

I'm not actually having problems with them not including LAN, the issue is that they should at least add a feature to reconnect into games. That adds to some value.

Well, LAN certainly makes life easier..
But nevertheless, Blizzard just want people to buy originals in order to play the game.. In fact, games nowadays are going to be LAN-less i would say... Given that fact that they wants users to buy orignals.. |

I think there is something wrong with the optimization of sc2, my laptop has overheated at least 5 times when I'm laddering and auto shut-downed (even with the extra 2 lines of code added) and my friend can't seem to run it smoothly with an ati card even with recommended specs.
I think LAN is a big removal for me, I can't even play with my friends smoothly when he disconnects and reconnects 30 times from battle.net 0.2 in 2 minutes No chat channels hurt big time also This post has been edited by MYNAMEISJASON: Oct 2 2010, 06:55 PM |

donno what you guys complaining about framerates, i play using X3 425 with nVidia GT 220 for the whole game and didn't have issues in heavy combat scenes.
the game will decide the setting for the card. if you happen to be very clever to want to BOOST the detail, then be prepared for slowdown. |
