Title: DONT Buy Starcraft 2 !!!
Post by: Hotshot on November 15, 2011
It is unbelieveable

Pop the Game in.....Installed the game but it took 1 Hour and 32 Mins to installed the game  :o

Before even you can play the game......You have create Account and Connect to Internet to prove that your Game isnt Copies(Which is understandable!)  ::)

Then I choose whichever Game Mode I want to play.....

I choose Single Player.......It wont let me play the game because I have to download Upgrade just play the Dammmm Game and Hang on....I just bloody Installed 12GB for bloody Starcaft 2 Game! FFS  :boxer:

Too Much Messing about as All I want to do is Click single player or Multi Players and play the game......It isnt that hard  is it....

Well if that sign of Game in the future then it gonna Turn me OFF and the video games will Die! :vangry:

Whatever you do.....Dont buy StarCraft 2 because you wont believe it when you go through all Shits that I been going through! FFS  ::)

I am dreading what EA going be like when come to General 2 as I hope it isnt going be messing about and creating Account shit this and download this and play the game...

One words for it....Bonkers!

Sigh!   :telloff:

P.S. I going UNSTALLED the game and Sell it to someone else!

Oh dear Hotshot, that does sound frustrating! I can't see it being much different in future though, it seems the "monster patch" mentality is here to stay.

Some of the patch sizes are frankly crazy - a gig or more for an update!?!?

It's actually a good game. Might be worth having a play before you get rid of it. If you can put up with re-install hell that is...

As far as I can See ... future doesn't seem too bright for the games as well as for anything else... Actually I own many different systems: PS3, PSP, DS and WII consoles... there's nothing far from what you've described earlier... turn on the console, update to the latest firmware... browse to your favourite app (it doesn't matter if it is a media-player thingie or whatever game you can think of) and launch-it... wait... you need to update to the latest patch, even if you do non need/want to play it online! You just need to upgrade... MB... GB... mostly I'm pissed off of tireless-waiting before reaching main titles of the game/app ... many times I get bored, shut-off and give up...
It is common (and it will become even more common) to check EVERY TIME YOU START PLAYING if you own a legit copy of anything (doesn't matter if you registered une and for all on the first run!)... nowadays games simply refuse to start if you do not let them connect to the net... IMHO there's something sick and deeply wrong with that!

The gaming industry needs to return to a simpler time, when you just pop in your software, turn on the machine, and get down to some excellent entertainment.

That's the way a game is meant to look like!... open the box, plug into your console, turn it on, HAVE FUN / HAVE MUCH FUN / HAVE MORE FUN / HAVE A LOT OF FUN AGAIN AND AGAIN, shut-off the console, STOP....

Unfortunately tha actual game industry pops up with some products that get some kind of beta-test AFTER being literally "thrown" on the mass market... if you sell lots you'll get some improvments.. if not you'll get almost no support at all... to me it seems like "let's see this idea on the real world, do not refine it the most, it just need to barely work... we can patch it later if it goes reasonably weelll"...

More like the old D&D games that Gauntlet really. It's the follow up to Elder Scrolls Oblivion. If you've played Fallout 3, imagine that with knights and swords instead of radioactive mutants and shotguns :)  It's very good.

Waiting for the download is an issue, but the size it's self isn't. I remember with Windows 95 having to worry about games taking up hard disk space, but I haven't had that issue in years, and have plenty of triple-A games installed. The size really isn't that big of an issue.

But I'd reinstall, as the single player missions are some of the best I've ever seen in an RTS. Lots of variety, and very thought out, however the plot is terrible.
