Played it a few times on beta. Didn't really see anything that warrants purchase. Loved the first SC but this one I think I'll pass on this one. Mainly upset with the 3 version just to play all races offline (I don't care if each race has 30 missions you could still fit that all on disc). I can understand the main game and expansion. Anyways, I have lost faith in Blizzard and I used to be their biggest fan (bought Diablo 1, 2, WC2, WoW, SC)....

You may want to look into the reasons for it. They aren't charging you 3x for 1 game, they are releasing a full, entire game, and exansions later on. It sounds like you just want too much. 90 missions? really? Even if they could fit that on a disc (probably not, as they have cutscenes for each one) that it a ridiculous amount to ask, considering it's a game that is focused on its multiplayer. That's on par with demanding that Halo have a 40 hour campaign.

Umm, what exactly is the problem with having more than one disc? This isn't the consoles or any of that thing, in fact an extra disc will probably cost them an extra cent or two. Also who cares about "fitting" my HDD hold 2TB, I am fairly sure I am cool with "fitting" it onto my HDD perfectly fine.
Stop trying to bring horrible console mechanics into an argument for a PC game. Compare it to other PC games, and as such it's a horrible rip-off. They COULD have done it, 10-15 missions per race and then put out an expansion and called it a day, but no, they want to rip you off for all of your money.

What is your problem? How do you always read the words and not get the point? The point of the statement was the amount of CONTENT he was asking for was too much. 90 missions each with their own cutscenes? When the single player isn't even the focus of the game? Forget disc space, we've waited 13 years for SC2, and we should wait 3-4 more so that stingy players don't have to pay for expansions?

while i don't agree that the single player is not the main focus, i don't understand his problem either.
he'd be OK with 10 missions per race, but with 30 for one race (same amount of content in the game) it's a ripoff?
I'll gladly take a deeper story split over 3 titles, AS LONG AS THE CONTENT IN EACH PART IS ENOUGH. And with making each campaign as long as the original SC's campaigns combined i'm more than happy.
about the singleplayer focus: i think blizzard games always focused on both, and i bet there are more people who just enjoyed the single player in starcraft and the warcrafts than there are players who play on battle.net - and even less that play to top ladders. thats what made blizzard so big and loved in the first place. they have the content for the casuals AND for the hardcore, in one title. i wouldn't say that one part is the focus and the other is just some kind of "bonus".
i don't like episodic gaming a lot either, but this is FAR from it.
btw: i don't know if it has been mentioned yet: on amazon.de SC2 can be pre-ordered for 44 euros right now. great price!
