To all the doubters and idiots: http://www.wegame.com/watch/Starcraft_2_Trilogy_Announcement/

Now watch it and weep, because I'll be getting all 3 campaigns.

Really, some people buy Mass Effect, a disappointing RPG that is only 10-15h and has NO multiplayer, and think it's a great game.
Some people buy Halo 3, which has a crappy singleplayer and dumbed down multiplayer, and think it's a great game. Etc...

Just look at people what Blizzard fans decided in the video, 99% of them preferred to have 3 seperate EPIC campaigns.

Oh man, I'm bawling my eyes out, shio decided to get all 3 SC2 games....

How is this showing us ANYTHING we haven't already researched throughouly? In fact I watched another very similar video before I started going off in this discussion.  Insulting other games is also not the way to go, most people here are actually SC fans who are disappointed. In fact, there have been very few people trolling and flaming other games, except you of course. This is what I'd call a troll post and full of fail.

Dude, what don't you understand? There's only going to be one Starcraft 2. The other two are expansions, you know, exactly like Relic did with Dawn of War (and no one complained about). Blizzard did NOT cut content from SC2, they just replaced it.

Wrong.

DoW, the first game has a full singleplayer and the full multiplayer.  If you were to buy WA on it's own, you wouldn't be able to play, as it doesn't have the full multiplayer on it. This is one of the reasons it can be priced as an expansion pack.

With SCII, 'all' three versions will have the full multiplayer along with a singleplayer campaign. Please explain your logic as to how the first will be more expensive when they all contain the same thing. Full SP + Full MP.

Sounds great and all but this paragraph really makes me doubt this:

"Wings of Liberty, the game's first campaign, will be shipping with a full and complete multiplayer suite with all three races available. The subsequent titles will add campaigns for the Zerg and Protoss races and both will carry additions for the multiplayer portion. While no price point has been set yet, Browder stated that if the follow-up games feel like full-featured games, they'll be priced accordingly. If they don't they'll probably be priced around the average expansion pack price. "We usually don't think about price points until we're relatively close to shipping," Browder said. Whatever the price is, though, we want the fans to feel like they've gotten their money's worth.""

Hopefully, the "changes and upgrades" will simply be patches that will also become available to people who only bought the Terran campaign.  This would basically eliminate the complaints about multiplayer, except for twesterm's argument that non-Terrans will be handicapped by not having a campaign to practice on.  (I think that the online plays so differently from the campaign that the problem will not be too hard to overcome, but it's a legitimate gripe.)

Having to pay for three separate campaigns will be terrible, yes.  But I'll do it if my above speculation is accurate, because it's StarCraft, it's worth it, and I "kinda have to".  

AS LONG AS BATTLE.NET STAYS FREE, FUCKERS.  

 

 

I really hope that they do the patches and stuff, but with Activision there now you never know....

 

I too will probably buy SC2, since there's something in my head that's saying "you will buy these and that's final," of course unless the gamnes come to a total of about $100+ in which case I will excerices my awesome knowledge of The Pirate Bay to get the. Same goes if they make me pay for B.net.

 

I still don't see why they can't make starcraft 2 + 2 expansions where they have 10 missions per race per game, instead of sticking 30 missions in each game, but for only 1 race. I want someone to give me a GOOD explanation for this.
