Any Starcraft II fans?

2 years!? What the hell. You necroing maniac I oughta ban your sorry a--Oh. N-nevermind then.

I never gave this game a try, been wanting to but I remember reading horror stories about the infamous GPU glitch that melted people's cards so it warded me off ever since.

Still.. shame on you Andy, bad Admin, bad!

:lol: Was going to make a new thread but would have just repeated some info on why I hadn't played it already that was already here.

That bug was fixed long ago I believe and I saw the next expansion is due next month so what better time to try the original than now. Can play handful of free missions on Wings of Liberty & Heart of The Swarm before making a decision on buying them (skirmish too but limited to one race & handful of maps). I believe they said each is standalone too so don't have to own previous one to try the others. However I have heard that the campaigns are superb so think I may buy them all in time as I have no interest in the competitive online side of things.

Well free is free, I'll probably give it a shot sometime this week. I know Markie is a really big fan of the series and bought herself a copy of this late last year, since then she wouldn't stop talkin' about it really. So I'll give it a look see and share my thoughts after I've done so, I know for a fact my rig will breeze through its requirements. Though I do recall this game being quite the benchmark when it debuted.

As far as I can tell so far if you are a fan of RTS genre then you have to try it (just like I kept being told). Wasnt aware of the Starter Edition until I read the article I posted here that brought it to my attention so thought I would try it as had more features than the demo it replaced. The campaign looks superb (cutscenes are amazing even by todays standards) and reminds me of how I felt when I first played Warcraft III/Frozen Throne campaign, was rare for a RTS story campaign to grab me as much as that one did. Been told their are also certain story instances that offer you a degree of choice at the end of missions and what missions to take that have a degree of consequence etc too. I normally play RTS games for their skirmish modes but this might be the first for some time I will buy based on the campaign & story alone.

Shame it launched on same day as Fallout 4 & Tomb Raider so its coverage has been minimal at moment.http://kotaku.com/starcraft-ii-legacy-of-the-void-starts-with-a-bang-1741765696

Despite releasing on the same day as Fallout 4 & Tomb Raider it seems StarCraft II Legacy of the Void sold quite well as PC exclusive title.
