I'm absolutely loving this game!

Meh... I'm definitely enjoying the game but I'm not really into achievements and my internet is currently disconnected so I can't really play online.

That being said, I wish the campaign had been a bit longer... it took me less time to beat than BW and that shouldn't be the case at all with a sequel. It's a bit disappointing because I'm not enjoying the second play through that much since I don't really care about achievements. Should have been like 60 missions!!

Yeah it must be pretty underwhelming without achievements...

Somehow multiplayer feels completely different now that it's my "actual record" haha^^
I got my first real multiplayer session done last night and it was super exciting. The placement matches were a bit underwhelming, but going 4/0 after that, despite such a long hiatus, was pretty nice.

As far as I'm concerned...all other games kind of pale in comparison to SCII. Most games I play have a natural life-cycle. I play them...I beat them...I play them a little more and then they go into the dark abyss of the "played games basket" to collect dust; to be forgotten; to only occasionally be replayed.

With SCII and it's mutliplayer, I don't see this happening anytime soon, if ever.

It's like peanuts. The more I play, the more I lose, which results in me wanting to play more to win more. I really won't be happy until I'm top tier plat or diamond.

For me, for now, it's the only game.

Just a hypothesis... is there perhaps a history of gambling addiction in your family?

How did you get the Insane FFA achievement??? 1 vs 7 Insane AI??

Easy...took me one try. Chose the map Exctinction against all Protoss, loaded SCV's into my CC and floated to top island, while sending the last one to bottom island. Rushed to BC tech with upgrades (no Yamato), and eventually built a new CC at bottom and floated to other island. Let the enemies duke it out (not accepting their surrender). Then when 2 comps remained I pushed out with my fleet of BC's and focus fired all pylons and threats to my ships while pulling out damaged ones. Think I lost only one ship the entire time.

I'll put it this way: the only reason I'm replaying the Campaign is for the achievements.

I don't know which is worse: the fact that you think whoring achievements is more fun than the campaign's gameplay or that fact that you even care about achievements.

I don't know which is worse: the fact you double-posted or the fact you think the campaign wasn't half-assed.

It's a bug with Firefox apparently. Probably some add-on. I didn't even click it twice.

I think the story is a let down but the gameplay is damn near undeniably great. Especially when compared to other RTS which typically have god awful campaigns. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, achievements are where its at!! LOZZLE!

I think that we all can agree on one thing
bad writing, but the missions are fun
yet I will agree with DS, even though I'm a game lore lover I found getting achivements more fun than the story, it was good at times but really let's face it we've all excpeted more from them
still I can't wait for HotS campaign, just to see how much Blizzard is predictable
