Slamming Starcraft 2 for not having LAN seems to me like slamming Avatar for not releasing a VHS version. Are there really people who still go out and attach their computers to each other with hunks of copper? I guess there are, but I would hope those people would realize that the rest of the world stopped catering to that particular hobby around 2005.
As to it being "just" the Terran missions, It's not like there are only the Terran missions from the original Starcraft. Starcraft 2 has 30 missions, which is how many the original game had for all three factions, plus a hell of a lot more story stuff. As far as I can find the quickest anybody finished the single-player campaign is 15.5 hours, which means it will take me at least twice that long (because I'm a normal, conservative player and not a APM freak), and I'm going to watch all the cinematics. Considering that I've bought full price XBox/PS3 games, good games, that were a lot shorter than that (Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dead Space), I don't think Blizzard's pricing is unreasonable. Thirty hours of single-player plus the the most active multi-player community this side of Modern Warfare 2 is fine with me. (And how long was Modern Warfare 2's single player campaign? Eight hours, maybe?) On Jul 27, 1:48 pm, "Edward Crosby" <[email protected]> wrote: > I was really looking forward to this game but it looks as I will be > passing on it.
