I know a LOT of people who are going to be pissed about the CE. The WoW pet is tied to the registration code for SC2 itself. You can't sell the code separate from the game...

That being said, holy fuck does it require a bit of muscle to run. Figured that since I was capable of raiding in WoW on my PC here at work that it would do passably in SC2... It worked at 1024x768, but the first mission had a few points that were a little sluggish... and that's without zergling rushes.

It does look pretty though. The 2gb key that has SC/BroodWar on it is actually a nice chunk of metal. The nametag lights up when it's plugged in. Artbook is badass as always. Haven't cracked the soundtrack yet, not sure that I will.

Not sure if I'll even play it anytime soon. Just wanted the CE, because I am a sucker for special and collector's editions.

Oh well, at least this means my little Thor pet will be more unique!

Sucks to be you.

And yeah.. I've seen ONE other Thor pet in game so far. One server I'm on people have been flipping out, but none of the SOBs have Zerglings for me to test with. :|

It's funny how you'll always run into one or two people basically saying this, verbatim. Must be a "buck the trend" impulse, because it certainly doesn't make any sense. SC2 is only $60 normal ed. and it's an amazingly well crafted game with a 97% score on Metacritic.

Why pout and cry about more fun games with Starcraft 2 and not, say, Call of Duty 2, which actually sucked?

I don't like it, you don't like, nobody likes it, but it's true.

And I was all like 'Oh yeah?' and Tarquinn was all like:
Games are long overdue for a price-increase.

I don't like it, you don't like, nobody likes it, but it's true.

And much like the Music industry, there's so little that's worth it.

Why pout and cry about people pouting and crying when you could stfu since it's not your job to advertise the game and the media is shoving it down our throats enough already?

Sure. Call of Duty sucks exponentially more with each release.

And my SC2 hatin' is tongue in cheek. I'm probably going to get Wings of Liberty anyway once I get fed up with Civilization V. But by then the full battle chest will probably be out.

Steven Steve had this to say about pies:
Speaking of which, why haven't I heard anything about the scenario editor? Is there one?

---

There was one in the beta, I'm assuming there's going to be one with the retail game soon if it's not already available.

Nina fucked around with this message on 07-30-2010 at 02:33 AM.

The release date for Civ 5 says September on the website I'm looking at.

I need to stop taking things at face value.

In the campaign there is an arcade machine you can play with a multi-level top down space shooting game controlled by the keyboard, using various SC2 units and such

Was made entirely with the editor

I can't wait to see what people come up with if things like that are possible.

Verily, Vorago doth proclaim:

Blizz sure knows how to fleece their fanbois make money.

26 fucking awesome missions at that. None of the endless "Here is a starting base, kill all the enemies on the map" ones. Every single one has some sort of special feature/challenge going for it.

The campaign is so fucking quality it is disturbing.

This insanity brought to you by Tarquinn:

I do. They cheated me out of 4 missions. This calls for Valve levels of Nerd Rage!

But I meant that someone would make Starcraft Ghost in the editor

NO YOU SEEE THEY NEED TO MAKE STARCRAFT II EXACTLY HOW THEY MADE STARCRAFT WITH THREE CAMPAIGNS FROM EACH RACE OTHERWISE I WILL BE UPSET.
