For those nagging on Soulstorm being awful, the official patch is actually finishing the rounds in QA since they finally found a solution to what they called 'The digital distribution' problem. It isn't going to fix every single problem that's out there, but it's going to remove broken features (things with rocket launchers can manually target ground, but rockets do nothing unless they target A MODEL, so they just shoot rockets through the ground.)

Also, since they got sick of waiting, the community actually fixed the game themselves. This mod does use the updated AI from Dawn of Skirmish, which is 100% more fun to play against than the stock AI. This mod fixes tons of graphical bugs and glitches that can be tweaked in the LUA files. Broken models, especially the tau broadside suit have been fixed by importing the Dark Crusade version.

The only catch is these fixes break two important things in single player. The replacement AI causes the Eldar stronghold mission to crash (They provide a workaround for this in the thread.) and none of the movies play unless you manually copy them into the mod folder (this is also explained in their thread.)

Oh, so when did it become cool to hate on Starcraft 2? Did 4chan start a thread about how it was totally gonna suck or something?

Well I looked into my heart and used my own perspective and opinions to think through how I felt when they announced that Starcraft 2 would be released in installments.

And I've been a Zerg man since day one.

So I guess that my being lukewarm to Starcraft 2 at best is a pretty logical viewpoint.

Did you pick up your super cool one liners from a 4chan thread?

Who's hating StarCraft II? I'm still going to buy all three installments, I'm just not as excited for it as I am for Dawn of War 2.

If I were at home, I'd be looking for some picture of Jim Raynor in power armor with bolter and chainsword.

Puzzle Quest builds

If you're playing the PC version, the OMG RED MANA strategy is not as effective. They changed the balance around a bit.

I'm playing the ps3 version, and it seems to be working pretty decent.

What, have you got better suggestions?

I'm excited for Starcraft 2 and I'm not even sure why. I suck balls at the game and the story is pretty cool but I never played all the way through myself, mostly because I suck.

The game looks more like Starcraft 2008 than Starcraft 2. The gameplay looks identical to the original with pretty graphics and UI improvements. Loads of new/changed units, but more the same than not.

Maybe it's the map editor. Yeah, that's it.

Diablo III looks hella fun, too, but I know exactly why.

This.

The Zerg Campaigns were utterly fantastic, weren't they? First you destroy the home planet and break the backs of the Protoss, then you do the same to the entire god damn Galaxy.

Now it just feels like maybe I can enjoy the game in another year after the rest of you guys.

I have been steadily cooling on SC2 myself, but i think that's mostly symptomatic of my not giving a shit about any RTS anymore.

RTS games, at high level, become action games. Once you've figured out what to do, all that matters is how quickly you do it. It's retarded and it isn't strategy.

Catloaf · « **Reply #1071 on:** October 13, 2008, 05:14:29 PM »

Well, you have to wait for your power meter (Money/Minerals/Units) to charge up too.

Niku · « **Reply #1072 on:** October 13, 2008, 05:24:03 PM »

turn based starcraft would be amazing

oh you know what would be great a stealth-action game that takes place in the starcraft universe

Well, it's not Quake 3, either. And what the fuck are you saying that SC is retarded? I thought you liked it. Has this changed? Or do you mean that SC is fine but becomes retarded if you're a tourneyfag? Because pretty much everything becomes retarded if you're a tourneyfag.

War(craft) (in space)....has changed.

I have it on a better game's authority that:
"War... War never changes."

This is true because it comes from the mouth of Hellboy.

And i'd fucking kill for a 40k PC game that emulated the tabletop (minus the price) hell, they could even add back the 2ed rules which TOOK FOREVER TO DO SHIT WITH because a pc would do it nearly instantly.

(minus the price)

Sadly, that's exactly why this will never happen. If I wanted to fuck around with a Space Marine army, I could do it for free in such a game. Games Workshop relies on me having to spend hundreds of dollars to do that.
