Starcraft 2 Review. It's Finally Here. [Meodia Review]

I've waited 4,502 days for this RTS game from Blizzard to come out. I've bought a new computer just to enjoy it in its full glory. I've played thousands in the first game and hundreds in the beta to prepare for this mammoth of a title. With all that hype, does the game match it? Or does it stab a dagger right into my Terran heart?

Well, I'm more than glad to say that not only has StarCraft 2 match the hype that it has been given, but it surpasses it to levels unknown. There are so few games nowadays that take us back to our childhood bliss, so few that make us want to take a day off work just to enjoy. Starcraft 2 is that game.

Starcraft 2 has a lot to live up to. Its predecessor has been one of the best selling games on the PC, known all over the world and it's the national sport of South Korea. There is no doubt in my mind that Starcraft 2 will not only achieve what the origin

Wow. Shame all the Gamestops near me sold out.

ipwnall5035d ago

That's why you...PREORDER!

:P

Darkstorn5035d ago (Edited 5035d ago )

I preordered from Dell, however they haven't even shipped my copy yet :(

On topic: good review, I'm hoping I feel the same way about the game.

Fred-G-Sanford5035d ago

I want to play this game, but I can't afford to buy my games at full price, so I probably won't get to play this for another year. :(

Perjoss5034d ago (Edited 5034d ago )

"I want to play this game, but I can't afford to buy my games at full price"

you've only had 12 years to save up the cash.

Fred-G-Sanford5034d ago

lol, I've never played the original, so I wasn't one of the millions of people looking forward to this game for years.

I just want to play it now because it sounds like an awesome game, and even though I have never enjoyed playing RTS games, I would like to give this one a chance.

Thanks for the sympathy, though. lol

Detroitnews5035d ago (Edited 5035d ago )

Protoss missions now!

ipwnall5035d ago

Easily one of the best parts of the game.

Affar5035d ago

I do have respect for small gaming sites. But I will pass until I see gamestrailer, gamespot, and IGN.

jy_mrnd5035d ago

This game is king to RTS games i've been losing too much sleep playing it.

Greek God5035d ago

HMM if i ever upgrade my pc im getting this one..
can some pc fanboy tell me please which games are must-haves.?
I know which ones are for ps3 but i dont have a idea about pc games ..
THX in advance
PM me..

Greek God5035d ago

ps i already own Diablo 2 but nothing else XD

evrfighter5035d ago

if you like strategy games and you ever do upgrade. definitely try out empire: total war. Civ5 is also going to be a must have. If you like realistic shooters then Arma 2 is king.

Some quality mmo's are coming out soon in ff14 and ToR. Team Fortress 2 has gone through so many content add-ons and patches it's completely different than the 360 version.

Guild Wars 2 will also be a huge seller due to it being a premium mmo quality title with no subscription.

Lich1205035d ago

What consoles do you have? As there are definitely some titles to pick up if you get a good PC and don't have a 360. Particularly Mass Effect. Also, if you're like me, you won't need many games for a bit while you soak up SC2.

Greek God5035d ago

only a old pc from 2004 lol
im thinking to get a brandnew one^^
my consoles are
Ps2
Ps3

Handhelds
psp

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead1d 2h ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

peppeaccardo1d 1h ago

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

Not enough drain them for more, fuck Blizzard POS company.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn22d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie23d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits23d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow23d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger23d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje23d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia23d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion23d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73023d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN22d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL22d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
