Which game would you suggest to buy. Starcraft 2 looks incredible and the multiplayer is really tempting but on the other hand I am a sucker for grand strategy games. So what do you think FP and why?

I would say vicky 2. I have been playing it for 3 or 4 weeks now and in all honesty it is much better than starcraft 2. Dont get me wrong, SC2 is good and all but vicky 2 will keep you occupied much longer.
Victoria 2, takes alot more skill, and is [b]hard[/b]
But once you get the hang of it, you've got replayability to the max.
Don't expect the SC2 league to be a cakewalk, but the mp is fun in general if you play an unranked round with friends or just some fun maps. As a SC fan I say get StarCraft 2.

hahahaha did you seriously say that some lousy rts require more skills than Sc2? have you even seen the koreans? try beating them
[b]Team Fortress 2[/b]

>Victoria 2
>Lousy RTS
Ah ha. ha. ha.
This is proof of it- this guy wouldn't last twenty seconds in Victoria 2. Go for it- very satisfying game, especially if you're a Paradox fan. (Which i'm guessing you are, seeing as they pretty much own the genre)
Hmm...so I'm guessing Victoria 2 is very similiar to Europa Universalis 1 and 2, right?

You just spoke out your ass about a game you know nothing of, good job.

Have any of you Victoria 2 people actually played StarCraft 2?
SC2 also has those custom games, and some people are even making 3rd person shooters using the map editor...
Starcraft 2 is fucking great, the multiplayer is amazing.
Starcraft 2. Get now.
Starcrack III
no srsly
Starcraft II
Starcraft II if you're a micromanagement freak. If you have a slight interest in 19th century history go for Victoria.
StarCraft II. Better known game, and known as more of a competitive game.
I have personally played both and I much perfer victoria 2. Starcraft 2 is more well known but for me victoria 2 is better.
SC2 multiplayer is...I don't want to say it sucks because it doesn't but you'll be playing every round to win instead of having fun. But I gotta tell you, victories feel good
just fucking buy SC2
Why is this even a question? Starcraft II

I disagree, I'm having fun in SC2 even when I lose but it does bring out the competition in people.
I haven't played Victoria II so I'm not going to say SC2 is better but I will say that SC2 is awesome. The campaign is fun and I enjoyed the story but the multiplayer is really incredible.
victoria 2 is really great but it's still got some major bugs
don't buy paradox games at release
[QUOTE=Lazore;24163299]hahahaha did you seriously say that some lousy rts require more skills than Sc2? have you even seen the koreans? try beating them[/QUOTE]
hahahaha did you seriously say that Blizzard could make a game harder then a Paradox Interactive does?
I can't really give a honest opinion about this because I never played Victoria II.
But if you're looking for a fun, fast and competitive RTS then SC2 is what you want.
I haven't played victoria 2 but if it's like any other paradox game once you get into it you can't stop playing, I'd say starcraft 2 but if you're really interested in deep massive scale games that can kill hours on hours then I'd say victoria 2.
I don't know i haven't played either of them
In my mind:
Victoria 2: If you are interested in 19th century history or you enjoy slower paced more uh grand strategy go with this.
Starcraft 2: If you enjoy fast paced games that can actually be quite stressful, go with this. I didnt really like the multiplayer because I know that within 6 months I wont stand a chance.
They are both very in depth but in my mind Victoria 2 is a bit deeper, and requires you to think diffrently.
I vote for Vicky 2

Also note that victoria 2 is only 40 dollars where starcraft 2 is 60.
[QUOTE=scout1;24168681]
Yep.[/QUOTE]
Oh, that's good then. In my eyes atleast.
Playing Paradox games often becomes very addicting. Probably even more so if you find a group of dedicated players to play with once in a while.

You could always play custom maps, which I found to be alot more fun than playing melee(usual gamemode) in Sc1 and Wc3.
Or you could practice against bots.
