Starcraft II Set to Release July 27th!

Got it today, just got home after work, now been installing for the last half hour.
Man, I jizzed my pants

 

I remember playing the horrible port of Warcraft II on the playstation lol... man that was horrible.

 

I cant think of ANY RTS games I liked on the consoles. but yes WC2 port was one of the worst

 

hmm i remember playing sc and command & conquer on n64 i think it was. boy was that annoying.

 

Yea that sounds pretty bad... Mouse is almost a requirement for RTS games. Even when it comes to FPS, I get my *** handed to me in MW2 PC, but when I play on my friend's XBox 360 with a mouse and keyboard hooked up, I always win

 

Walked into a Gamestop here in Tempe, AZ and they turned me away as they claimed to only have copies available for pre-orders. Walked into the Best Buy next door and they had 2 display cases with about 20 games each, and their game rack had another 50, and 2 CE boxes.

 

wow CE in stores? I thought that was going to be something for pre-order only due to limited quantities.

 

I think the CE being "limited" was a bit of an over hype to sell more... Blizz does a good job of making sure they have enough of what they wanna sell. I mean its good business sense to act like something is "extra" special when really they've got plenty.

 

yeah some people can't get the blizzard downloader to work since it's torrent based.


uploading the patch for you.

gonna take a few minutes, it's 40mb. Patch is just some files you put in your Updates folder inside your Starcraft II directory.


if that doesn't work then there's a few more files I may have to upload for you that sit in your Starcraft II directory

edit: Day Zero patch for SC2. http://www.mediafire.com/?cm776cfhd45cqgj


other stuff to put in your SC2 main folder if putting the above patch stuff in the updates folder and then running the blizzdownloader and/or blizz updater doesn't work (or ya know if launching the game doesn't work):

Just got my CE delivered

 

If anyone wants to add me to their friends list, my friend code is 847 and my name is BlueAlien

 

Oh My God The Dog Tag Glows!!!!!!!

Edit: huh, just noticed that was all capitalized. No clue why.

 

shut your mouth! I dun wana hear none of your collectors edition nonsense to remind me of all the goodies!


edit:
slowdown on the campaign? ROFL that's awsome! at least it's using both cards <_<

 

How big is the Dog tag thumb drive? I saw some unboxing videos and they look huge lol! If it was smaller it would look less ridiculous around your neck.

 

Has anyone been able to use steam overlay with starcraft 2? I tried many times to get steam to launch it but it wont for some reason.

 

coming right up

 

Mine is working. I not quite sure, but it might be affecting me fps.

 

Did you just add it like normal or did you add the desktop icon? Because I tried it many ways and its still not working.

 

I just went into the games library and added the main starcraft2.exe located in the program files.

 

Hmm.. It's pretty fun, guys. Even though I'm on like the 3rd level only lol. Too bad that we have so sign online in order to play the campaign... But I guess Activision does that so they can track people's cd-keys (two family members cant even install on two different comps in teh same house.. STUPID GREEDY AMERICANOS). Same with stupid games on PS3/XBOX nowadays: there's no more offline-coop games.

Anyhoo, what if I dont have internet connection? Anyone know if I can play the campaign offline?

 

you don't HAVE to sign in to play the campaign.

after the initial handshake from the server you should be able to sign in as a guest if you have no internet.


'course you won't get achievements.

 

Ahha! That's what guest is for. I'd like to play offline, cuz maybe that'll lessen the RAM/CPU usage for my dino.

 

guest is useless if you cant load your saved game.

 

My buddy said you can save games in offline/guest mode.

 

omg that's HAWT!

 

Bluekornchips that looks AWESOME! *starts crying*.....thats ok I guess, I will NOT make this same mistake with Diablo 3

 

Does anyone have a guess pass I can have? I want to try it to make sure it will run well on my comp. Thanks!

 

I'm gonna tell you that with the specs in your sig, and especially if that's a laptop, it might not run on anything above low, and very choppy. ESPECIALLY since you're running vista. I wouldn't waste my time. If you do insist though, PM me for the guest pass.

 

where do u go to create your character? i hit create account and it just takes me to my battle.net account

 

Login with your email addy/password. Then it'll pop up another box for you to create your name. The picture will just be the whiteguy with a black mustache or watever. Then it'll take you to the battlenet lobby thingy. My sn on battlenet is dookieoneone btw, if any of you loverboiz are interested Who knows when I'll actually be online to game though, since I don't quite have a working machine for battlenet yet.

 

Grrrr. I hate GAMESTOP! I preordered, and it now says its on backorder? I preordered so it would SHIP on release day. Not wait around for it to ship. I preordered to save $20 and I chose free shipping, because yes I knew it would take a week to get here, but now who knows how long.

Isn't the point of a pre-order is so that you can have first dibs at a game?

 

yeah. but gamestop is horrible sometimes.

 

oh haha i was putting in the name i want for the character and hitting create account lol derp.

 

went to a gamestop, the mall, best buy, all were sold out. on the way home i thought id check target for the hell of it and they had 1 left

 

Tee hee. Add my btw, so that I get the request thingy the next time (who knows when) I log in.

 

We need your friend code as well as your name.

 

so our real name is displayed? ehh creepy.

 

only if you become a real id friend with someone.

 

me thinks that CE's will be available for the expansions

awsome! When Bestbuy opened They had a rack of ~ 40-50 of them by the looks of it, well.. 38-48 by the time me and the other guy bought ours

 

Friend code? Like Nintendo DS?

Why would you need a friend code, what the F... Where in battlenet/sc2 do you find the friend code?

 

i think he means character code

 

So I find that inside battlenet, right?

Damn, troublesome to even add a friend. F*CK you Activision...

 

There fixed !

Seriously get on the phone tomorrow and call Corporate, explain the situation, you may get them to give you something for your trouble. That's no excuse for a preorder.

Anyway just a heads up, stop by Kmart they are also giving a $20 GC with the purchase of SC2.

 

friendcode means this.


your userid, which you choose, and then your 3 digit identifier that's random.

userid's aren't unique, the identifier for that userid is.

 

Ic. And I assume that's all inside bnet.

 

Do you have to have a internet connection to play the game?

 

Only to register/activate your cdkey. You can play "As Guest" offline for campaign.

 

thanks man I will not have a internet connection in Afganistan I was getting pissed thanks

 

Damn looks pretty awesome! I should have bought the CE....but no money lol oh wells. thx!

 

Yes, once you are logged into battlenet, you go to friends. Then add friends and it will tell you your character code. To add someone as a non realid friend, you need their character name and code.

Name: BlueAlien
code: 847

Add me and we can test it out.
