I used to be the biggest Blizzard fan there was or close to it.  I loved Diablo 1/2, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, and Warcraft 2.  It seems lately that I am not interested in any of their new titles.  I kicked my WoW addiction and pawned it off to one of my friends by giving my account away.  I don't see myself buying SC2.  I played the beta and I really didn't care.  Having split the game into 3 different games also helps me not buying it.  I can handle buying one expansion but buying 3 different full priced games is way beyond me.  Sure online is king in SC but to have the story split into three parts is unnecessary.  They did it just fine in Starcraft and Brood Wars.  I just looked at the Diablo 3 new class trailer and it barely interests me at all (makes me not even want to buy the game).  Sure I loved Diablo 2 but the grinding at the high levels was tedious, pointless, and boring.   I can go on and on about how Blizzard doesn't feel the same to me but perhaps my taste have changed (or perhaps Blizzard has failed to come up with something original in 8 plus years).   Anyone else feel disconnected from Blizzard?

Saying SC2 is split into 3 game is like saying Halo or Uncharted were split into 3 games. They are each, in and of themselves, full games. But it will take 3 games to do all they accomplish. Noone can honestly say SCII feels like 1/3 of a game. There's plenty of SP, and as always, the amazing MP.

Except that WoL isn't a game in and of itself. It is a pisspoor, unifnished story that is a complete mess. They could heav easily, EASILY removed Tosh's missions, the clonist's missions, and the protoss missions, and added a complete zerg and protoss campaigns. Also the MP isn't amazing, Bnet2 is a bucket of crap compared to what it was back in Frozen Throne, and the MP itself has been dumbed down from BW. If a scrub like me can make it near the top then it has definitely been dumbed down.
