LOL@these Starcraft II Reviews

Today is a special day. It is 7/27/2010, the day Starcraft II comes out. Blizzard released original Starcraft in 1998, and it was one of the best strategy games of all time. Over the years Blizzard has gotten GREEDY with all the money they got from World of Warcraft and it turns out that Starcraft II 1) has no LAN support, 2) actually is 1/3 of the game (that's 3x$60 if you want to get the FULL game), and 3) you need an internet connection to even open up a single player.

FUCK BLIZZARD!!! I AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER GAME THEY WILL EVER RELEASE. THEY CAN CHOKE ON ALL THEIR MONEY!

They have milked enough WoW fans, now they are here to do the same with Starcraft. Now check out these 1 star comments from Amazon... LOVE THEM haha!!

1.0 out of 5 stars overpriced garage..., July 27, 2010
Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
The Good:
- Almost as fun as the original
- Cool new units

The Bad:
- Charging $60 for 1/3 of a game
- No LAN Play
- Blizzard played it safe when making this game and took very few risks, added few surprises
- Development clearly was focused on figuring out how to nickel and dime customers and make as much money as possible, at the expense of making a truly great sequel
- People can now charge for maps
- Very restrictive DRM
- Poor [...] experience compared to original game

1.0 out of 5 stars Blizzard try again please..., July 27, 2010
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
So you buy a PC game for 60$... and you get a 1/3 of a game, with glitches and hitches and more ways to make money. I remember when I was excited about blizzard games... i even bought blizzcon tickets this year... I feel dirty now.

Why?
They aren't the same that they were... its now about making as much money for the most stretched out game play. Albeit the name of the game is to make money, but where is the honor in upsetting all of these fans.

Please blizz cut the DRM licence BS. Please deliver a game, that I want to pay for, and not feel like a crook.

Nextly UBI should join Blizz/activ, make a giant brain child of DRM and server control ;)

On a side not, the game is good, same old same old really :)
Good for some, not so much for others.
If you were a die hard sc1 then you will like it, if you weren't you probably won't make a giant change and come back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible installation experience, July 27, 2010
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
First I had to install the game in safe mode, then the updater didn't work on the first game launch and I had to run repair.exe and after that guess what THE UPDATER STILL DIDN'T WORK WHEN LAUNCHED. IT HAS BEEN 3 HOURS AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME I PLAYED FRICKEN OVERNIGHT SHIPPING ON TO GET AND PLAY TODAY!! Screw you blizzard for another failed product launch, this is almost as bad as Diablo II realms being down for 2 months straight after that was released. I'm sorry to say but I think this is the last Blizzard game I will ever buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blizzard Stop Treating Customers like Thieves, July 27, 2010
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
I was contemplating getting this game till I read the reviews and looked at Blizzard's site that details the terms of using the game. If I buy a game I want to be able to use it on any computer I have in my home and not have to check in with Blizzard via the internet EVERY 30 days. If I bought the software once, what is going to change in 30 days to make it so that I didn't pay for it? Because of this blatant disrespect I will NOT be buying a copy of this game and will be taking my business elsewhere. I urge anyone that is reading this to take their business to game companies that respect and value their customers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointment, July 27, 2010
By Paul Park (Cypress, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
Wow I cant believe blizzard screwed us over like that. Not only did they screw us over they screwed themselves over. All that work they put into the game just to loose their reputation. I knew game security was increasing but not like this, this is too much.

1.0 out of 5 stars Another one that won't be buying, July 27, 2010
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Video Game)
I was about to buy. Three of my colleagues got it on launch day yesterday and thought I could join them. I was a HUGE RTS fan in the past (but haven't been for the last 5 yr or so) and was looking at this as my return. No LAN meant no comeback :-(
