the infested mission where you have to raze all the buildings in wings of liberty owns so hard. you can play it defensive at night when zerg are actively attacking and then go out in the day cautiously or just go all out berserker and own everything before it can own you

marines in sc2 might be my favorite basic unit in any game, they're so, so good roaches are the best ever in the Slightly Above Basic Unit tier

in the next expansion, according to the pre-alpha custom map stuff they've been doing you're gonna start skirmishes with twice the workers, so the minute or two of sitting around at the beginning of matches will be skipped each point will also have less resources/gas to mine to encourage expansion. i am excited. i also main protoss so the campaign's gonna own

Near release, I was Diamond with my blistering-fast 60 apm

Yesssss.JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:The story is hot garbage though. Kerrigan and Raynor are teenage lover idiots and there's one level in HotS where Kerrigan gets into a DBZ-style kamehameha blast battle with a psychic dead alien. I will also agree that the SC2 campaigns are fun though, even if the story varies between serviceable, mediocre and bad.

However, I am incredibly bad at all the micro and stuff and have no motivation to get better at it, so it's not the most fun game for me to play. I wonder if Grey Goo is any good, prolly not.

i hear grey goo is very good, and is pretty much the opposite of starcraft. there's just one resource that you get from building resource collectors at certain points in the map, after that it's just "small fries are cheap and quick, powerful units are expensive and take a long while to build" and that's it. it's not a big headache of remembering 30 different things you need to keep track of i just want to nuke stuff and cook up funny strategies, sc2 makes this very difficult with a ton of features that are literally designed to be APM barriers

Autocasting with a queen on a hive would be really good if it cost significantly more so you've pretty much given away that queen's ability to spread creep tumors. Maybe make it an upgrade like Overlord -> Overseer?

starcraft 2 cheesing is cool because it fails a lot if you don't do it exactly right and then you have to recover before the other person takes advantage of it and that's neat to watch there's a series called will cheese fail that is good because of how weird stuff can go when the game is thrown off balance by something like that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOvGCrilWik&t=206s this is a probe v. scv fight that should not have happened lagtv calls incredibly stupid people as being in Wood League but i cant remember any of their other really good videos, there was one scrubby match that ended with 16 ultralisks hatching at once because both people had too many resources and too little combat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-3ZrXOrz_0 this is the worst cheese in sc history i think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1EuCA34GMg and one last one this dude proxy hatcheried his opponent's base but did it wrong and got all his units stuck and found out there's a limit to units in a small area so there was a hatchery with a billion dudes behind it flailin around Doctor Goat fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Jan 27, 2015 |
