What is the point of all that clicking if he is missing so many SCVs and getting his Supply Depot down so slow...

i have a feeling that kerrigan is going to end up dead....... atleast after shes done with everyone pissed her plus the  the zerg who loved her enough to give her a promotion haha! how heartless of her

 

And what the hell is the anti-starcraft  union doing here. its not our fault u dont have good taste for nice games. go somewhere were there is space for your type and leave us in peace, will u!!

And with a bit of luck, Blizzard will actually release it in the next decade or so, after which we can download terabytes of updates for another two years. Wow, at this rate, I might actually finish the Protoss campaign before I'm 80!  :-D

 

Don't get me wrong: I absolutely love Starcraft (ever since the very first one), but WHY do they always let us wait for so many years??? They have the engine, they know what units there will be, and it's just impossible they don't have the entire storyline written by now. So what, is it to balance everything out? Then why the endless stream of updates afterwards? Just give us the game already! /rant

 Don't be ridiculous. If you love it, then shut up and quit complaining already, you'll have to wait as the rest of us anyways.

pmsx your comment is ridiculous. randllsilver is 100% right  Starcraft II Heart of the Swarm has the same engine as the one from 2 years back the same looks etc.

so why are they taking too long for releasing it ?  he is not being inpatient but he only asks why are they taking too long for a game that already had a sequel and this game looks the same as his sequel ONLY with diffrent campaign  and MP maps, so why o why taking soo long ? but what my point is is that randlsilver's comment is 100 % true.

 @walidras They couldnt possibly release Mists of Pandaria and a Starcraft sequel within 6 months of each other... That'd just cut into blizzards tiny budget =\

It still puzzles me how did a zerg infestation took Kerrigan from Redhead anglo, to dread lock latino.

Never really understood why blizzard always take such a long time to release games. Yeah, i think a game should be delayed rather than released unfinished, but still.. what the hell? they have the graphics engine, the groundwork as well as everything else from WOL, why does it take almost 3 years to make whats really just an expansion? Funny thing is, even though they take forever to make their games, the end results usually arent all that.

 @jcr8 While I agree with you on some points, calling SC2 "not all that" is pretty ignorant. One of the most polished PC games of the modern era. Say what you want about Diablo, WoW, and whatever else. Blizzard did the right thing with SC2. I understand that some people don't like the challenge, or, as the post above points out, "fun" factor. But that's not what SC is supposed to be. SC is supposed to be exactly what it is and Blizzard did a damn fine job making it.

 @eyesandsmiles  @jcr8 Starcraft 2 is not "all that", god no. It isn't interesting and it isn't "challenging" either. It's a limited game with a now outdated 10 year old design that prioritizes hotkey mashing over strategy.

 

Poor design, with limited tactics and strategy. StarCraft 2 is  a graphically polished and little else.

 @eyesandsmiles no, its not ignorance, its just my opinion. Im not saying it was a bad game, it was a decent game. But was it groundbreaking in any way? no. did it add anything new to the genre? no. in fact id say it was really just warcraft 3 with brushed up graphics and a sci-fi setting. Hence - not all that. Most polished game? yeah i suppose, i mean, everything worked the way it was supposed to, but that should go without saying. Its just that nowadays people are so used to half-done games full of bugs and glitches, that they are extatic when they get something that actually works. Im not hating here, just saying that starcraft 2 was an anticlimax. i wonder if games like starcraft 2 and diablo 3 would be getting all the attention and sales that theyre getting if they had different names and werent made by blizzard.

 @jcr8 it has nothing to do with time to create they release all their games to make their stockholders happy not the gamers.  Blizzard is 1/2 of a 5 billion dollar company now and most of us still try and think of them as that little company that gave us warcraft 3,  diablo 2, and starcraft.  Sadly those days are long gone :(

eyesandsmiles

 @medicpriest  @jcr8 again partially true, but this is still the company that made Starcraft AND Starcraft 2. You can hate on blizzard but Starcraft 2 is one of the least likely reasons for doing so.

This would have come out sooner but unfortunately Blizzard were too busy with Diablo 3 :(

@ 9:30 this idiot should stop moving the mouse and pushing buttons like he is having a seizure.  Its annoying as hell.

 @joshmonus why do people like you complain about the smallest things. sure he moves and clicks his mouse, sure he isn't a pro, but this video is clearly a demonstration of units in effect, not your pure enjoyment. its for informing gamers. please be more disciplined and stop complaining, or don't watch the video.

 @joshmonus calling someone an idiot and insulting their gamestyle is not an advice. some things work better for some than others. there are tons of sc2 pros who use a lot of clicking and less hotkeys. what you're saying is not an advice, it's a selfish statement while trying to please your own ego by trying to describe his "awkward" gamestyle.

I played Zerg exclusively in Starcraft.  I like the diversity of Terrans in SC2.
