LOL it's funny when people use words like "abhor" to try and sound intelligent =)
I agree with your post though. Although you could have said it in like 3 lines.

1.10 is so fun! All monsters are harder, skills are revamped, necro is actually pretty good now! Interesting item stats too.

LOL total annihilation HAHAHA
first one to tech up wins!!

Yeah warcraft 3 single player is boring as shit... but battle.net games rock my face =)

#83 You're right. Consoles can do a lot more with a lot less power because they are designed specifically to play games. However, you still cant assume his computer can't emulate it better, although it probably wont. It's possible the graphics will look worse through the emulation, but it's also possible that they will look very similir or exactly the same. Either way, he can at least turn his resolution up, which is something that can't be done on the xbox version.

Ok, let's be realistic. There are 2 companies I won't pirate games from: id and Blizzard. I buy all their games because they are the only companies that convinced me that they deserved it. A lot of people dont feel the same way though. One of the reasons blizzard's games sell so well is because you need the cdkey to play them online, so if u wanna play multiplayer, its damn hard to pirate. Starcraft: ghost has no multiplayer, hence if it were released on pc it would be pirated like crazy. If they bring it out on consoles, it would actually sell. A lot of people who own PC AND console would rather pirate on PC then buy it for console. So, my prediction is that they bring it out on consoles, milk the hell out of it, and then port it to pc. Now obviously I realize this is probably not the MAIN reason it's out for console only, but I'm sure it has something to do with it.

"Q: Will there be a StarCraft II? When?
A: Although we have not made any announcements and do not have a development or release timeline, we do fully intend to revisit the world of StarCraft on PC at some point in the future."

This translates to:

"We are still milking Warcraft 3, then WoW is coming out and now this. Give us another 5 years."

I dont think provoking emotion was the point of Blizzard's RTS's... or any strategy games for that matter. Whether starcraft provokes emotion is completely irrelevant. It's a good game because its easy to learn, and hard to master. It has great multiplayer capibilities and requires actually thinking but still has good action. It basically comes down to: Starcraft is a great game because it's fun as hell, just like the rest of Blizzard's games. That's why they do so well, or at least that's why I buy them. Blizzard never let me down... until they announced a starcraft game that wont be out for pc

Yeah it'll sell like crazy. But I bet it would sell better on the pc, seeing as how pc market is where most of the starcaft fans are. A lot of console owners have never even played starcraft.

OMG THAT GAME LOOKS AWESOME!!
I now hate blizzard. Thanks for blowing off 5 jillion hardcore starcaft fans and giving starcraft to a bunch of console cock gobblers who have no idea what starcraft even is.


EDIT: Hopefully, there's also a pc port. If there is, I wont hate blizzard anymore =)

EDIT #2: I read this information on the official starcraft ghost page:
Q: Will there be a PC and Mac version?
A: No. StarCraft: Ghost is only being developed for console systems.

Yeah. Now I'm gonna cry like a little girl. But then I read this:
Q: Will there be a StarCraft II? When?
A: Although we have not made any announcements and do not have a development or release timeline, we do fully intend to revisit the world of StarCraft on PC at some point in the future.

Some hope is left I guess... sucks that if I wanna play the new starcraft game I have to put down 200 bucks for a freaking console that I'll never use otherwise.

ok... I'm not trying to get into a debate about catholicism and protestantism. I am just saying catholics accept christ as savior, so they are christians. That has nothing to do with having an intermediary. Yeah, there are differences... DUH, otherwise they wouldnt be different religions would they? BUT you cant argue the fact that catholics are christians.

I totally see your point. But I still dont see how soldier's tactics are anything like chess. You cant compare chess to real war, its nothing similar at all. Do some soldiers only move forward while others can go diagnal? Imagine your chess pieces as groups of soldiers instead of individual soldiers, and the board as an entire country, and then you see that chess is much closer to your definition of "strategy" than it is "tactics".

#176 Actually, you cant say Catholicism and Christianity and mean two different things. Catholicism IS Christianity just as much as Protestants. A lot of protestants are misled about catholics, and for some reason dont know that they are christians. Weird, considering protestants, when they broke off from catholicism, kept the same religion and just changed a few rules.

But back to topic, I got the UT2k3 demo... I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be. The voices are so damn annoying!!

"just thought id point out that there is no "strategy" in chess."

Wow... all I can say is, wow... You are the stupidest person alive. Please, kill yourself immediately, you make humanity look bad.

Taken from dictionary.com:
Strategy: A plan of action resulting from strategy or intended to accomplish a specific goal.
