How would you rate SC2, 7 months after release?

[MulletBen]

That would depend on the meaning you attach to 'Amazing' and what component of the game you are focusing on. I voted 'Amazing' but that's because I mostly ignore the SP when rating it as I spend 10000x more time on the MP. The MP is 'Amazing' to me because it has completely taken me from SCBW (no small feat) and kept me playing daily since release. No other game had done that, except for other Blizzard games. Basically, it has met my lofty expectations which is an 'Amazing' accomplishment and, therefore, deserves an 'Amazing' vote.

I would rate the SP as 'good' because it was a blast to play but had a disappointing story. If I were to average them into a rating a la a review, it would be great, however, there was no great, only 'good' and then 'amazing'. Quite a large gap there. 'Amazing' summed up my opinion more thoroughly than 'good' did because 'good' by a rational standard would be keeping my interest for about twenty or so hours a year or a review rating of 7/10. That doesn't describe StarCraft 2 to me.

If only the world thought more like Spychi it would be such a bett-- No, wait, we'd go back into the dark ages due to the backwards ass legal laws those idiots would create. StarCraft 2 may not be perfect but its not trash and your game count shows you don't think so either. In fact, most of the complaints I've heard from you have more to do with the company that made it than the game itself. You're basically flaming us because we have separated Activision Blizzard and StarCraft 2 from our minds.

Oh well, you're weren't unanimiously dubbed the ferrous craneous for nothing so I'll save my fingers anymore use on you.

*slow clap*

Am I the only one who finds it astonishing how many people from a Starcraft II fansite think the game is crap, and take every opportunity to post about it?

Come on, dustin. Find a better place to commiserate with people disappointed in the game. Even with your slanted question, did you honestly expect a different result? I'm sure you could find a sample that more closely meshes with your view of the game on the Blizzard Forums, so why don't you take your polls there from now on? That is, if you can stand posting on a site that's associated with *gasp* Blizzard. Come on now. At least DSquid is funny sometimes.

You rang?

[Gradius]

can't belive those who voted amazing, so they actually have no taste in video games
... that is just sad

Says the person with 600+ games. :P

[spychi]

If you think that my motives are because of acti-blizz thingy you are wrong, SC2 is one of the worst games of all time, not only expectations were huge for both campaign, but also for multiplayer.
Both parts of the game didn't deliver, it was sad to see that the game was soo shitty, on the other hand I would have expected that from a game company that doesn't care about the story at all and thinks that gamers are stupid enough to buy every word they say or a mount fo.... oh wait

Says the person with 600+ games. :P

the only game I bought that was shitty other than SC2 is Alien Vs Predator 2010

I only wish they would work more on the story and everyone knows that, whoever that disagree about the fact that SC2 story is the biggest fail in the last decade of video game development can go ahead and flame me or whatever but the truth is that they are such huge fanboys they can't see reason.
StarCraft 2 is everything other than amazing. Opinions are diffrent ok, but seriously why do people think that they game is amazing it's beyond me.

Let's say your games average 20 minutes.

20 minutes x 600 games = 12000 minutes
12000 minutes / 60 minutes = 200 hours

So, you've spent 200 hours on the 2nd shittiest game you've bought? There's nothing more worthwhile you can find to do? Wasting your limited life on a shitty craptacular game is the best thing you can think of to do? You know you only live once, right? You either have the most depressingly insignificant existence I've ever heard of, you are bat shit insane, brain damaged, mentally incompetent or just plain stupid. I'm hoping you're still just trolling.

To spend 200 hours in 1v1 league alone (ignoring customs, team games, forum time, campaign time, whatever else) on a game you feel is utter shit and pointless is ..... well, you are the ferrous craneous.

oh you got me right and your words hurt, I spend soo many hours playing games and I waste my life...NOT

I have a great life, mostly successful in work, private life is something I don't really have time right now for
I focus myself completly on my work, I don't party as often as I did, though once a month or twice is enough for me.
The rest of my after work I spend on either shopping or gaming/chatting with people I know.

On the other hand if you have that much free time to waste writing stuff on this forum and poke others *cough*mkill*cough* than I feel sorry for you, compared to you I don't have that much time anymore
Either get a job or go to college or something...

Also I am good at StarCraft 2 and there is something I wanna prove to myself, that I can beat the best polish player (at StarCraft:BW I suck soo hard), this is why I practice league games that much, this is why I still play this shitty game to get my money's back in some way, cause obviously I can't get the actuall money.

Wow, what an ego.

[TheEconomist]

I have a job, go to college, live on my own, pay all my own bills. I forum in between study sessions or problems for a quick mental break.

Also, if you want to prove something to yourself, there are better outlets than StarCraft 2. I have many such things to prove for myself. All of them more beneficial than epeen.

Finally, I never said you didn't have a great life. I said you either have a, b, c, d, or e. A bad life was only one of the options.

That is all. No more OT.

Why should you care about beating the best polish player if you think this game is so bad? Logically, if a game is shit, then winning isn't important.

compared to you I don't have that much time anymore

You have time to play 600 matches for a game you apparently hate. Either you're a massive hypocrite or you have much more time on your hands than you think.

[GnaReffotsirk]

I would rate sc2 as a great game. I mean, where's the competition?

I just crave more stuff in the modding scene. I mean, where's the promised Startools?
