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

Is Nexus Wars not on the EU servers or what? I can't find it even with the search.

Could anyone tell me what the 'guest pass' does for this game?

[QUOTE=thrawn2787;23691709]Holy hell, glad I saved myself $60. From what I can gather, this has some of the worst story I've ever heard. [sp] I mean I watched all the cinematics and saw that all the new characters were pointless and that Kerrigan is snow white, but holy hell. The overmind made Kerrigan to free the zerg? Meaning kill himself? Wouldn't a gun, a bullet, and a tentacle do the job? Minsk is making the hybrids? The Xel'naga are coming back to kill everything with no motive? Zeratul snorted the overmind and saw the future?[/sp] Jebus, TH89 and Uberslug could write a better story[/QUOTE] Uh, you got that zerg thing very very wrong. If killed normally the zerg would just die off, but Kerrigan took control when the overmind was destroyed (the reason as to why the overmind had to destroy itself is told in the game (non-CGI cinematics, and during missions)). Or in other words, the story is quite good, basing it just on a few videos is just dumb.

It makes me sad that I'm am no longer good at StarCraft, I'm depressingly bad... But at least I'm getting better again, still suck.

The mission where [sp]the hybrids destroy the protoss race[/sp] was possibly the greatest video game moment I'ved played. And is it just me or is the campaign really easy on normal?

The rush challenge is awesome. I got gold on it. However, if my opponent has at least 2 pylons, a forge, and a gateway up by the time I only have 1 supply depot I think he deserves to win by default

[QUOTE=Xera;23692439]Paid DLC? Do you mean the other 2 full length campaigns? Uh.. it isn't?[/QUOTE] Believe he's referring to the "premium" map feature. Supposedly maps will be sold if they are really really good and the creator gets a tiny cut of the profit they make on it from Battle.net. The quality control of these "premium" maps states that even DotA wouldn't qualify as one so I'm not sure what they have in mind with it, not that I want to buy custom maps.

I just saw a metroid on the map (I can't remember its name) that is set on a space station. In the test tubes there is sometimes a metroid. I'll try and take a snapshot later. Has anyone else seen it?

i gotta stay out of multiplayer till i can make units properly

[QUOTE=thisispain;23693287]till i can make units properly[/QUOTE] Yeah I would say that's a pretty important aspect of the game.

[QUOTE=BrokenSanity;23693361]Yeah I would say that's a pretty important aspect of the game.[/QUOTE] well by the time i have like, three units, the other side already has medivacs and shit

[QUOTE=thisispain;23693409]well by the time i have like, three units, the other side already has medivacs and shit[/QUOTE] Oh I see. Yeah that used to happen to me a lot in WC3...

I just beat it, That was a great ending.

I got 2 copys of StarCraft 2 for 60€ because there was a sale on tuesday each copy for 30€ :D

[QUOTE=Gubbinz96;23687820]Holy shit when they said you have to make hard decisions they really weren't fucking around. I'm at Haven. What should I do?!?!??!!??!!? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] If you're a nice guy do the first. If you are opposite do they second

Could anyone send me a trial invite?

Just finished the campaign. The ending was epic. I was [sp]stuck on last mission until I realised that I should kill the worm tunnels. I was stuck for 2 hours on it but then I realised that and it was piss easy[/sp].

Brother gave me a guest pass for 7 hours. All I can say is: meh. SC with a few no things, but not worth the hype.

[sp]A gun, bullet, or tentacle won't "do the job". Only ones with the power of the Void can harm the Overmind. That's why Tassadar and Zeratul could kill the Overmind. You would know that if you played the first game. No, Megnsk was not creating the hybrids, I have no idea where you got that from. The Xel'naga were dicks. The Zerg attacked and wiped most of them out, and the remaining ones would probably be bitter that both of their experiments lashed back at them. They only view the Protoss and Zerg as failed experiments anyway, so why not get rid of them? There's your motive right there. Also the new characters weren't "pointless". In the first game you played as a magistrate gone rogue, so Raynor's personal life was kept to himself. That's why his right hand man Matt was never seen. There are a bunch of books and comics that explain his past.[/sp] tl;dr: Pull your head out of your ass.

Got gold in terran and protoss, but I suck as zerg..

Just won the game, fucking sweet. [editline]01:56AM[/editline] The challenges can be really hard to get gold, but it's possible at least.

Okay, I said I wouldn't come back until I had finish Singleplayer, but fuck man. It's a long singleplayer campaign. I feel more engrossed in the story than Starcraft 1. The characters are more personal.

Ah yes, "reapers." The jetpacked assault units that can allegedly scale cliffs and harass mineral lines. We have dismissed this claim.

So I just finished the game, boy what the fuck [SP]They fucking killed Tychus Findlay, I can never forget that. He was one of my favourite characters from the book(s) and up to SC2, Jimmy will always be my favourite however though this new Matt Horner guy is pretty cool too, but still, killing Tychus and saving a chick who still has that freaky hair and zerg powers? Yeah no. [/SP]

OP should add a list of FPers playing SC2 with their character name and character code.

Holy long load times, Batman! Singleplayer takes like 100x longer to load than multiplayer. Clocked one load time and it took TEN FUCKING MINUTES to load one campaign map that took just as long to beat. Multiplayer maps take me 40 seconds to load. What the fuck?
