Did you buy it? Lots of mixed opinions abound so I wanted to know what you guys thought of it.

Personally I doubt my reflexes are sharp enough for this game these days as the pace seems frantic.

I won't get it for the same reason.
Twitch gameplay really shouldn't be in strategy games.

I prefer slower paced RTS or TBS.

I got Warcraft III for its map editor.
I don't regret that purchase one bit.

I was hoping Starcraft II was going to be the spiritual successor to WCIII's editor.
Can anybody comment on its extensibility?  Is it as multipurpose as WorldEdit?  ...Is there going to be a StarDoTA?

[Sartain]

I got a good deal on it, so I bought it.
Game is fair enough, I'm not really much into RTS games usually so I'm probably  not the best judge. Characters and cutscenes are awesome so far though.

One thing I noticed, a couple of missions in you get access to an Armoury. First time you enter it, the camera pans over the scene lingering for a short moment on the Armoury sign stating that the armoury is located in "Bay 12". The quartermaster kind of reminds me of a dwarf, too.

Coincidence, or a small tribute?

I'm one of those silly boycotters.

Except unlike all the other silly boycotters, I haven't bought it.

Tribute they already have a tribute in WoW here.

What boycott?

[Antioch]

Is it me or is was game dated before it even came out? I think it does nothing to follow the evolution of the rts genre in the past years.

[Nilocy]

Can someone buy this for me?

Is there LAN multiplayer? I read they were axing it, and that's a deal-breaker for me.

I'm waiting to hear how the mapping and modding works out, since i mainly played starcraft and warcraft 3 for the user created maps, and nearly always for the ones that weren't traditional RTS style. Tower defence, RPG, etc. Traditional RTS gameplay with random strangers isn't really fun for me.

But yeah, really not too excited about the game itself. The idea of paying for a 3rd of the story at a time pisses me off. I wanna just play through it and be finished, not have to wait another year for part 1.2 and then another year for 1.3.

No, gamers don't want LAN. (or so Blizzard say)

[DJ]

OK, I'm definitely not buying this then.

How hard is it to implement LAN if you can set up internet gaming support?

[Ephemeriis]

I've thoroughly enjoyed Blizzard's RTS games in the past...  They used to be the king of the hill.  And I have absolutely nothing against that style of gameplay.

But it's been so long since the first StarCraft came out...  I've played lots of really good RTS titles since then.  And I've got absolutely no attachment to the storyline at this point.

I'm sure I'll wind up buying it eventually, but I'll probably wait 'til the Battle Chest eventually comes out.

Especially since this first release is going to focus on the Terrans, and there are two planned expansions that will focus on the Zerg and Protoss.  I'll wait until I can buy all three for the same price as just the one right now.

Bad things - No Lan, priced at 60$, one campain where the others are supposed to be sold separately

Good things - The mapeditor is supposedly able to do alot more than the wc3 one.

conclusion - wait for the price to fall and some good UMS maps has been produced and then, maybe, buy the game.
