Starcraft 2 to be three games, internet to explode

<< < (2/46) > >>

The idea for Diablo III brings up bad ideas of having a separate game for every class of hero/heroine T__T

This news has made me a little annoyed. Starcraft was the one franchise I was hoping Blizzard was never going to turn into a money-whoring series unlike Warcrack, but I guess I was a bit too naive. Hell, the original game was only around a few hundred megabytes tops. You could basically put all three on one DVD. I wish I could believe their reasons for doing this if it were true, but I just can't believe what they say anymore because of what they've done to the Warcraft franchise.

I just hope in the distant future they release a lame Battlechest of every Starcraft game, and I'll wait to get that. I'd rather spend around $100 AUD for one box instead of $200 for three.

I'm reserving my final judgement until the games are released, but the single-player campaigns are going to have to be REALLY the most fleshed out epic in RTS history to get my thumbs up, not some superficial shitty lame storyline development like Warcraft III. The original game had a great story; to ruin it would be one of the worst moments in gaming history.

clockworkjames:
In most cases all RTS games, do this though.

Dawn of war did it and it was pretty damn awesome, now you can pick them all up (Dawn of War - The Complete Collection) for 20GBP.

It's not that bad a thing.

This is QC not QQ.

I wonder how much of this decision was influenced by Activision, if at all...

ackblom12:
Dawn of War had expansions to an already finished product, I'd say that was quite different than breaking your one game into 3 separate products.

It was stupid when Disciples II did it and it's stupid now.

Yet it was good when Sam and Max, Penny Arcade and Serious Sam did it for instance.  And if you get 20-40hrs of single player content off each then suck it up.  I mean its stating that single player campaigns will be race specific but do we know if multiplayer on any/all of them will feature the races of every/all of them.  And WoW isnt a money whoring concept game, its an incredibly tight ever expanding game that is so far removed from what it was when it was released that I dont see how in good conscience or at least realistically be flaming Blizzard for. 

I for one am optimistic, Blizzards only dick over consumer flaw that Ive seen so far has been Battle.net, its haflway all inclusive Xbox live like service, half Gamespy free range connection service.  And I will withhold judgement on Starcraft II until its released.  After all Blizzard didnt need Activision, and I doubt it has incredible sway in the realm of Blizzard games.
