BoneyardBrew Member Posted July 21, 2010 Member Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm a Starcraft fanatic (was one of the first games I ever played) and can't wait for it to come out, but I was never one to wait in line to get something as soon as it was released. I'll preorder it and pick it up later that day just for the convenience factor. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted July 21, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've pre ordered and it'll show up release day or the day after at most. I can live with that, seeing as I've waited over ten years for a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerz Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I laugh at people who stand in lines for products. Like the iPhone. Rofl what losers. I preordered mine so it'll be here that day. I love Starcraft. I still brood war. I'm in the sc2 beta. But to stand in line so I can be the "first" to have something is simply dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurono Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Originally I was thinking of lining up for the swag at Futureshop, but after searching for the headset they're giving out, I may change my mind. Dynex Headset With Microphone (DX-28) Then again, this shouldn't be a surprise since it's Futureshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etempest Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 $60 for Part 1 of 3, with no ability to play without going through Blizzard/Activision servers... no... I admit, it looks very good and will probably be an A+ title game (Blizzard fails to disappoint)... but the cost, drm, and changes I don't like.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted July 22, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've never understood the idea of queuing up for the immediate release of something. You get to see/play/experience something a few hours before everyone else, big whoop. So that's a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've done with wraith and BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladmphoto Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm sorry but NO, I do not buy crappy games. This game is a sad attempt by Blizzard to milk the franchise, good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynex Headset With Microphone (DX-28) Then again, this shouldn't be a surprise since it's Futureshop. Well you do get 2 SCII Ball Caps, the Headset and a limited edition Poster. It's actually better than Best Buy(no midnight launch, no swag), Gamestop/EB (Midnight Launch + possible poster + mouse pad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted July 23, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2010 I will line up, but not at midnight on the 27th. I have my copy reserved and should be able to pick it up later in the morning, at a reasonable hour like 8:00 AM. I really don't know what kind of line-up there will be at that moment, so I voted yes in the somewhat likely case that there is a line-up even for reserved copies.

Eric Veteran Posted July 23, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 23, 2010 i used to love working at futureshop to watch all the WoW nerds wait in line starting at midnight to line up for the game. SOOOOOO funny. We didn't even sell out of the game cause of how many copies we had. I don't get this obsession with playing a video game that badly. heh... I just preordered my Lich King then walked in and picked it up. I would have bought it online but they didn't have it available for download for a while. I was also in the beta for SC2 and I won't be buying it. I just wasn't impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokemon, Final Fantasy and Halo are milked franchises if Blizzard wanted to milk Starcraft, they would have released Starcraft 2 like 7 years ago and by now we'd be on Starcraft XII: Gold Heart Recon ODST Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orin Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'll be there at 23:45, waiting patiently for the doors to be unlocked. :\ It's not just about the single player campaign though, - it's about the amazing UMS maps that will be available once the game's around for a little while. Those will make it worth playing for another 12 years... Or at least until Diablo 3. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
