Thank You Blizzard

it is far and away the best MMO out there (even after, what is it, 5 years?) and much of that fan base you so loosely define was generated as a result of WoW, not just because it was a blizzard product.Randvek said:
i played it for 2.5 years and i have some pretty nostalgic moments i think about now and again from that play time.
I'm always torn with Blizzards adherence to quality.
On one hand, they are reliable at pumping out mind-bendingly good games. Every one they make pretty much redefines the genre of the game.
On the other hand, their impossibly high standards left Starcraft: Ghost being canned as it was only 'really good' rather than 'cult classic'. Some of us were looking forward to playing that and didn't really care if it wasn't amazing!

As someone whose favorite game out of thousands is the original Starcraft, I was loving SC2 right up until the end...
Metzen has completely lost it. I don't know what made him go all happy-ending on us, but this shit needs to cease. Now I'm wishing they never made SC2.

I will not thank Blizzard. They've become little too greedy for me. Yeah, ok, no LAN option, that's a kick in the balls, as my friends and I do LAN parties a lot... but I get it. Battle.net, pirates and all that. Ok, let's have it your way.
Three different games for every race? Ok, that's little too much...but hey...I'll try the game anyway, just find a demo, to check, how my computer handles it and...
Oh, to play demo, I must get some code that is added to the full game.
I see.
Well, frak you Blizzard.
Probably I will play the fraking game, but I don't like you guys anymore.

I thank Blizzard for turning me into an over the top avid online gamer thanks to Warcraft 3 and Starcraft, they've never dissapointed and will people please stop whining over Activision just because it's popular to hate the company doesn't mean they make everything bad.
Fyi the campaign is massive. I mean, starcraft 1 rpg with all mission is like a 1/2 of this game. Then you have challenges which are some continuation for it. Also a ShitTON of achievements to unlock.
I just know im gonna throw more money at it even only after 2 days of starcraft 2 when more campaigns are unlocked. IT's just so good. There's a own campaign lobby where theres loads of interaction one can do and talk to people. Every rts campaign should have this spice.
Only drawback of the campaign is that there's so many rush missions, sure you can have some rush missions Blizz, but not every 2nd one -_- and not with achievements that you need to explore and destroy to boot. I feel sorry for the ones lacking of skill, atm playing hard playthrough.

Oh yeah. Developers move in mysterious ways.
Bioware decided to make Dragon Age 2 less old school even though, this was the very reason why it was so popular with older gamers.
Blizzard thinks that restricting the demo for Starcraft is a good idea.
I, just a mere mortal, can not even start to grasp the divine plan behind such decisions.

WoW launched with more subscribers than most MMOs ever get in their lifetime, and probably had more than anybody has ever gotten a year in. Bear in mind that WoW a year in was a *terrible* MMO, and it's much, much better now. I'm not sure how you can say that was "earned." There are a lot of faithful people who have followed the company from WC2 to Diablo to SC and on and on. That's something most video game companies would kill for.Ascarus said:
