by that logic a complete story always has to be in one part.

thats like saying harry potter 5 is a ripoff because you can't assume people will also watch harry potter 6.

ignoring the fact that there is way too much to be told to cram it all in one movie... or in this case game. of course it remains to be seen if Wings of Liberty really has as much, or even more, content  as Starcraft 1 or Warcraft 3 had. If it doesn't, I stand corrected.

But the thought of having the Warcraft 3 or the Starcraft 1 campaign three times as detailed and with 3 times the cutscenes for 3 times the price? YES PLEASE. ...of course thats only my opinion.

Having campaigns for all races was nice of course, but why is trying something else always bad right from the start?  i am sure the campaign in Wings of Liberty will be a lot more than just basic terran base building missions ;)

Except that all the Harry Potter books were a complete books in and of themselves. Starcraft is NOT complete with just Terran, there are two more races. It would be like reading The Goblet of Fire, and stopping where Harry's name gets picked out of a hat, then release volume 2 and stop it after the 2nd trial, and then a 3rd to finish it all. Even if it was all added up and it came out to the same price, it is still an incomplete sotry and just very shitty.

to me it's different. each harry potter book tells a complete sub-story of the grand plot of harry vs voldemort, thats where we agree. each book (or movie) can stand on its own.

But that is not different from the story in the blizzard campaigns. each races campaign in e.g. warcraft 3 tells a story that in itself is finished after the last mission. only all together form the complete story - but that is also the case with HP, Star Wars, LotR (well, IMO here the movies can't even really stand on themselves), etc.

If the one capmaign the focus is on is as long as other blizzard games i don't see an "incomplete game" or a "ripoff" or "not enough content".

i'm ok with "i prefer to play each race in campaign in the first game", but that has nothing to do with the phrases i just quoted.

alright, i'll stop now :)
