I currently have a $600 laptop after my Dell PC, which lasted me 7 years and thousands on upgrades died December 2009. I cannot run StarCraft 2 on my laptop due to a graphics card embedded in the motherboard. I have looked around at gaming laptops, and have set my desires on a $1300 Asus gaming laptop, but will not make the decision until the guys at BestBuy can assure me that I will get 4-5 years out of it and can upgrade it. I bought a N64 for Super Marior 64, PlayStation for FF7, and on. Is StarCraft 2 in the same line? |
Yes, ABSOLUTELY. I don't have many friends that play computer games, and yet a bunch of them have decided to purchase SC2 thanks to trying it briefly from 7 hour guest passes. It's spreading like a virus. Every copy comes with 2 guest passes, and more and more of my friends (who were neither big PC gamers, nor RTS fans) love it. I, who am a PC
gamer, and a big RTS fan, also love it. It holds up the SC name very well. And yes, if you are of the vocal minority that love chat rooms and LAN, then you'll feel something missing. However, as someone who just wants to log online and play games vs players of equal skill (or with friends) - it's amazing. And I can't see how anyone is complaining about the single player campaign at all. For me, most RTS game's single player was a snooze, or something worth blitzing to see how the story panned out. I'm actually enjoying SC2's. It's very well done.
