it's a shame they don't lower the price either. it's been £35 here since it came out.
It's a good game, it has a lot of personality, and if you get really into it, it can become a great hobby watching pro matches.
Perfect! I'm at a LAN party right now, and now we can play 2vAI :dance:
Didn't they begin doing the "Starter edition" thing with WoW where you can play up to level 20 for free? Blizzard knows how to make their games appealing.
Cool. Can finally try out the franchise.
I gave it a shot, I've been interested for a while. Third or so mission I think, where you hold out against the Zerg for 20 minutes, I got to about 45ish seconds left where they rushed with an immense army and destroyed all my defenses and I lost. Ragequit so hard.
I feel so bad. My friend bought it for me when it first came out because he wanted to play it with me but I really couldn't get into it, it was way too competitive for me. He never says anything about it but I feel like a dick for making him waste $80 on it (aussie retail price)...
Yeah, Blizzard told how russians would never have to pay a monthly fee for this. Guess what, when I bought it, there was this tiny note on the box - "3 months to play". And I tried Multiplayer, oh jesus fuck, complete devastation of me in seconds, I do however pretty well against the AI. Sigh, Real-time strategy just scares me.
Thats not bad, I would be downloading it to try it out but seeing that my computer isnt the "best" or "decent" enough, i'll have to pass. Still, Its a good idea to bring more players into it.

I only do a little 1vs1 quickmatching.
Terran is the only race I play anywhozles... and full access to the custom games means starbattle is open! :D I might actually look into this.
terran is for nooblings zerg all the way

[QUOTE=Blizzard] Starter Edition players are also unable to use versus and co-op matchmaking, most custom maps, chat channels, and the party system.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=frankie penis;31523457]it's a shame they don't lower the price either. it's been £35 here since it came out.[/QUOTE] well it's a Blizzard game what do you expect? they have ten year old games that still sell for like $30.
[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;31525825]Terran is the only race I play anywhozles... and full access to the custom games means starbattle is open! :D I might actually look into this.[/QUOTE] Yeah you don't get all custom games, just 1 custom game that is cycled over a period of time. So, one week, it may be Star Battle, another week, it may be something else.
[QUOTE=Lazor;31527835]well it's a Blizzard game what do you expect? they have ten year old games that still sell for like $30.[/QUOTE] cataclysm came out in december for £25, now it's like £10-£15. hell, the collectors edition is only £25 these days.
Just what we need: more terrans.
[QUOTE=Lazor;31527835]well it's a Blizzard game what do you expect? they have ten year old games that still sell for like $30.[/QUOTE] I would have bought Diablo 2 recently if it wasn't $20 and another $20 for the expansion. So I'm just going to wait for Diablo 3.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;31531288]Just what we need: more terrans.[/QUOTE] it's like the least played race on ladder nowadays
-derp-
[QUOTE=Crazy_Farmer;31532840]it's like the least played race on ladder nowadays[/QUOTE] When every opponent you play against as Terran considers you a skill-less retard, big surprise. Let alone when your opponent demands you apologize for playing Terran.
Awesome, finally get to try out Starcraft, see what the buzz is about.
[QUOTE=Crazy_Farmer;31532840]it's like the least played race on ladder nowadays[/QUOTE] Really? I thought Zerg was still going strong in that regard.
i dunno about lower leagues, but in diamond/masters i used to play against a terran one match out of ten my TvT was so poor because of that
