Starcraft II Megathread V.1 'Hell, It's About Time' - Games

[img]http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7172/screenshot2010072800124.jpg[/img] Oh hey someone left their C-10 lying around, I think I'll take it [img]http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2392/screenshot2010072800132.jpg[/img] AH WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?!

Holy shit did anyone notice they straight up STOLE Firefly music? I love Blizzard and Starcraft, but watch the cutscene with [sp]the fight between Raynor and Tychus in the cantina, and listen for this song. For fuck's sakes, look at the song's name, too.[/sp] It could be called an homage, the game does feel very Firefly influenced, but considering how often Blizzard faces accusations that they ripped off WH40K, I wouldn't be risking this.

zeratul looks pretty nice in the inengine cutscenes :3:

Why aren't there any reviews up for this game?

[QUOTE=Frostbite;23676178]Exactly, during the entire game so far I was like. "Fuck I want to watch more firefly now."[/QUOTE] I'm convinced it's a Firefly tribute. The songs aren't EXACTLY the same but they're ridiculously similar and it's not like it's just 2 seconds of song that's like that. Hell, the cutscene is even called [sp]Bar Fight[/sp] in the mission archives.

I loved the cutscene with Tosh and that voodoo doll thing that kept harming tychus :v:

So is this game worth 60 or not?

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;23676007]-ghost pics- AH WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?![/QUOTE] That's Nova! She was going to be the main character in Starcraft: Ghost :aaa:

Ohhhh I see [url]http://n4g.com/news/570004/no-starcraft-ii-reviews-before-launch/com[/url]

[QUOTE=Stripez;23676262]So is this game worth 60 or not?[/QUOTE] Well I look at it like this, it's got a massive shitload more content than that OTHER game that was priced at $60, it has a massive singleplayer campaign and it's insanely moddable, plus the most balanced Multiplayer RTS ever (but be warned you will get your ass handed to you on a silver platter if you go into it without a clue) So IMO yes it is worth the steep price tag.

WOOO dvd install fails; copying the disk to hard drive failed; first battle.net download failed; second download going.

I would like a guess pass if anyone has one. North America please!

[QUOTE=Chunk3ym4n;23676536]I would like a guess pass if anyone has one.[/QUOTE] EU or NA?

I got 2 Starcraft II and 2 World of Warcraft guest passes. Tell me why you deserve one and you can get one. :3: Gotta get some fun out of it, right?

I'm getting it tomorrow. Can't wait!

Someone PM me a EU guest pass, someone has to have a spare one somewhere :smith:

Wow, this thread is one day old and it only has 8 pages, considering the hype around this game was humongous. Also, why the fuck is the EU version like $80 instead of $60? Also, [QUOTE]Battlenet 2.0 is a piece of shit[/QUOTE]

God damn, I really want to get this now, but when replacing my Droid, I forgot to reset the authenticator. Now Bliz hasn't gotten back to me with an email yet. I am so angry right now!

I'm surprised this thread isn't over 50 pages, yeesh, everyones still playing MineCraft! Wrong craft game guys! :v:

The games story really picks up a little over half way through I almost shed a man tear at [sp]The Protosses last stand. I lost everything except a few carriers and a mothership at 1700 units killed and went out in a blaze of glory.[/sp] I would pay a full price for another game for a campaign like this

One for Zerg and one for Protoss.

Despite having no plans to get Starcraft 2 today, my brother came home with the game today. Such is the power of this game. I was able to play quite a bit, and I am impressed. The game seems very fun, and from what youtube has shown me (and wasting hours with custom maps in WCIII) I am eagerly looking forward to custom gamemodes. I however, am not looking forward to paid DLC...

I'm so afraid of reading spoilers that I won't be back in this thread until I finish the singleplaye campaign. I'll also be making a header for the all the race sections of the OP and a chart.

there's an achievement named "Meet the spy" and another one named "Professional have standards"

AGGAGH All In makes me want to punch a toddler

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23677617]AGGAGH All In makes me want to punch a toddler[/QUOTE] Which mission is that? Also anyone want to play a match?
