I don't care what anyone says, all the people that say they didn't change starcraft 2 from the first, no improvements or w/e but this game's storyline was imo the greatest i've ever played in an RTS. I've played EE series, Age of empires series, warcraft 3 and expansion, Dawn of war 2 40k, n quite a few others.

So of the people that have beaten the storyline, would you agree or disagree with me?

I dont disagree, it was quite solid and it promises a continuation very soon...
Still 26 missions that you can finish in under 15h, at least they could do like the warhammer series where you can play all the factions and increase gameplay and fun by Xn factions...
They shoulda have at least 40 missions...
Already beat the game twice and im not really satisfied...

40 is quite a bit. Theres 29 missions if you do both sides of the ones where you choose . Also as you may know heart of the swarm will have another 25+ zerg missions, and then the protoss one will have another 25 as well. Unfortunately the wait for the next one is 18 months apparently

so why is starcraft not on steam?

do they have to work out a deal to sell it or is blizzard just being stingy or what?

Hybrid_theory · Aug 16, 2010

Probably because blizzard doesnt want to put their games on steam. They have their own service where you can download any purchased games from your account. And you can purchase SC2 and WOW on their site.

Thats the deal, if you want more you have to buy more...
At least dragon age entertained me for close to 150H split for 3 characters...
I might still replay some missions of SC for fun...

Hybrid_theory · Aug 16, 2010

Well technically cause of online SC2 there are hundreds of hours of play out there. But in terms of just single player there are dedicated games for longer sp play. Dragon age is one, final fantasy series, oblivion, etc.

But hopefully with the new sc2 expacs, they will be a cheaper price point.

I am just getting into it, still working on my micro and build order in practice matches but I'm getting back to where I was in SC1 days.

Blizzard uses battle.net which is why they don't use steam..

I spent 10 mins reading this post:

Basicly, it's saying how unbalance it is when playing Z v T.

I have to agree because i have never lost to Zerg players (so far) even at disadvantage position.

Zerg lacks def option at choke point.

What you guys think?

EDIT:
More reads from Korean top zerg players.

Hybrid_theory · Aug 18, 2010

I've been hearing that as well. Zerg were much better in early beta cause roaches were overpowered. but they do need some sort of buff to increase them against terran

topbangkok · Aug 18, 2010

I wanna play!

As a zerg, I find it difficult to counter against Viking (sure hydras would do well, but it lacks the mobility of an air unit..) Muties would do, but the range disadvantage is a pain.. Siege tanks as well.. muties cant touch those things, marines would make quick work of the muties come battle time (or worse, Thors).. using broodlords to counter but them broodlords are so late game units.

Playing the trial for now. Like what I see for now.

entropy13 · Aug 21, 2010

Just finished the campaign, albeit at normal difficulty.

HolyCow02 · Aug 24, 2010

I am still playing the campaign on hard. Because some of the missions are really F'N hard. The last crystal mission as the protoss, I can friggen dominated. Can't protect that damn chamber for the allotted time. I'm just starting to play online too.
