Starcraft 2 to be three games, internet to explode

Jackie Blue:
OK, that is fucking retarded.  I do not want to have to wait a YEAR to play the Zerg campaign, then ANOTHER YEAR to play the Protoss.

Perhaps there has been some miscommunication and each of the three will contain 3 campaigns, it's just that each one will FOCUS on one race, but you'll have single-player MISSIONS where you play as all three in each game.

Jesus fuck, this is getting confusing.

Ozymandias:
OKAY

So, my ridiculously connected friend who was at BlizzCon talked to some people there and the impression he got was this:

The Terran disc is the base game. It will be $50. It will have the multiplayer. In addition to being the Terran campaign (Jim Raynor), it will have a couple of mini-campaigns with Zeratul and Kerrigan, but otherwise be entirely Terran oriented. The next two games will be $30 each, expansions to the base Terran game, to continue the story form the Zerg perspective, then the Protoss perspective.

They are expansions, not individual games. It's like Warcraft 3's story. The Night Elves part makes no sense if you haven't already played the first three campaigns. So why the hell do you want to.

est:
Why on earth would Rob Pardo say what he did if they are just going to be expansions?  I don't understand why he'd risk internubs nerdwrath over the whole deal if it's just going to be like a business as usual set of expansion packs.

Ozymandias:
Well, dude talked to Chris Metzen. I really don't know who would know better, maybe neither. Maybe they just have no fuckin' idea what they're doing with this yet.

Roivas:
"Every comment I've ever heard from you is extremely negative."

Try the thread on N+ a game. A game I feel is a really good concept that's well executed and a good game for the average Dave or Sally, while still being a great game for the more interred gamer.

I just think those who have a serious mashed potato jones can play Starcraft original and be pretty happy. There are new RTS games that advance the genre, but I haven't kept up well with the PC market.

Also I'm negative because I'm a dick. take that in whatever sense you like.


I was glad that the story was not true though. I think Blizzard is a cool company, though i wouldn't want to work for them, and don't like hearing them doing bad things to the PC market.
