I don't have access to a computer worthy of playing it..

Finally got in as well, though it was through a friend invite. Man I love Zerg even more in this game.

[Cinnabon]

kapten can you invite me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kapten]

Afraid not, as far as I know people who got access through a friend invite can't do that. At least I can't see any invite keys.

I need a 2v2 partner, God damn randoms keeps failing on me.

if you get invites they'll e-mail you. though i wonder if they're still doing that since pre-order gets beta and all

[Alice]

they should still be doing beta for pre-orders. however, make sure you pre-order from a responsible company/website that has good customer service in case your cd key is taken.

[Saiyr]

that's what i meant, since they're doing beta pre-orders they probably don't do friend invites anymore

finally playing the finished game. campaign is pretty glitzy. they really put a lot of effort into dressing up the single-player. highly recommend.

[Saiyr]

what difficulty did you play on? i'm 2 away from the end on normal and it's been absurdly easy

i don't feel like frustrating myself or i'd turn the notch up

[Illinest]

i'm on normal and my experience has been the same as yours. I'm not as far along but (for example) on those two early missions where you're supposed to hold out against an onslaught of zerg I don't think i lost more than a unit or two. On the day/night mission I had 200 supply worth of (mostly) hellions roaming around during the night.

yeahhhh i recall one mission that i actually took a few tries but already forgot which one. but that was the only one that took more than one try. i finished tonight and am satisfied with the game quality, but not really satisfied with the length. i think the ease of normal made the game significantly shorter. my average mission time is probably 30 minutes or 13 hours of gameplay total...that's really short for $60. i got 60 hours out of one dragon age run. of course there's multiplayer and so on in sc2

[kapten]

Mmh, normal was a bit easy, some missions a bit more challenging than others but none really took any real effort. Trying hard now which proved at some missions to be more challenging than I expected. Multiplayer is obviously awesome as usual. In my opinion the game's worth it.

Sorry but, people by this game for the insane multiplayer, not single. Its like bomberman.

[kapten]

Of course they do, I did as well. But that doesn't stop me from playing the single player campaign as well.

i'm not stupid, it does not change the fact that most games are $50 and sc2 multiplayer is not really that much more "insane" compared to sc1. yes, it has a supposedly flexible map editor but that generates free content for blizzard, so why are they charging $10 extra? in fact, most of the work must go into single player, not multi. it's extremely easy to have multiplayer with replay value.

obviously i still like the game, but don't like it when they get expensive. i guess i'm a true chinese cheapskate because i often end up waiting until they're $20 to play them...i don't do that with big titles though (e.g. sc2, civ5)
