You didn't get 100 hours of playtime out of SC2? What did you do, clear the single player campaign then never play online at all? If so you are voluntarily skipping most of the game, which is your own choice and not Blizzard fault. Maybe it is what you say, its simply not targeting your demographic.
I did multiplayer and found it lacking... Every game up until platinum is rush or be rushed. It gets old after the 12th time. I miss the old map setting mini games from SC1 (I was big into making maps) I didn't stick around to see if they added that feature into SC2 (they primarly focus on pure match making). The achivements in single player kept me going for a bit but not much of a challenge, except that damn arcade game
I have to agree, I hate the early game rush as well, but you simply need to figure out how to avoid it. Once you do that its much more enjoyable.
Okay then I think you're a child with no perspective on development costs or income whatsoever. Paying $60 then $40 nearly two yearls later isn't very much money if you, you know, have a job.
You want 300 hours of entertainment instead of 100 for $60. That's just spoiled.
Good for you
I think your attempt to make me look like a child basing a price of a game as the only meanful factor for successful measurement is shallow and basic at best. I could have put a long quality rant about SC but I didn't really want to get off topic, sorry to dissapoint you.
I agree that 100 hours out of a game is a worthy investment but I didn't get 100 hours out of it, hence the disappointment. My statment still applies I used to get hundreds to thousands of hours form blizzard games, I don't anymore Still Good games just not targted for my demopgraphic anymore.

And the RMAH, well, if you dont like it, dont use it, simple as that. (there are better items on the GAH anyways, gold will always retain a direct cash value, so people have no real need to avoid the GAH, and it shows.) The bottom line is, in EVERY Blizzard RPG game (Aka WoW, D2) there is a MASSIVE cash for items market, there has been for around a decade, this is a simple case of "if you cannot beat them, join them", I dont see a reason for them not to, this game is not "pay to win required", because I win at this game everyday, and it aint costing me a damn dime. ;p
Exactly this. I have over 150 bucks in my RMAH waiting to either get spent or be used. If I can use Diablo 3 to pay my WoW account of buy my MoP, fuck yeah. And if I happen to see an ungodly item on the RMAH I have the funds to get it. So its win win.
I have a friends who is disabled. He is paralyzed from the waste down due to a bad auto accident. He plays D3 more than anyone I know and guess what? Last week he deposited 2k in his paypal account. Yeah, RMAH is the devil for sure!
Whether RMAH exists or not people will buy and sell items. And just because the RMAH is there doesn't mean the game is pay to win, just means the average player can get paid for playing if they have a brain.
I don't know. Anyway, I hope they can reverse this, and fix the game to be about fun, not the RMAH.
You lost all credibility when you said this. You proved yourself to be stupid and ignorant in one fell swoop.
If you really think this game is "about the RMAH" then you really really are pretty stupid. Diablo 1 and 2 both had HUGE markets on ebay. D3 would be no different, as such Blizzard nipped it in the bud by adding it right into the game in order to both protect the community and make a little money. If you are dumb enough to see that as a bad thing you probably also have to actively think about breathing to do so.
Seriously?
I played D2 for years, and never had the feeling I needed to buy ANYTHING on ebay.
Don't teenage rant me. I'm just expressing my feeling which is shared by many: without the AH, you can't play the game entirely basically because of the loot system.
Actually, even better, if you NEVER bought anything from the AH, I'll bow to you, if you have, think again.
Btw, ask your mom to teach you manners.
As I have stated in another post, in D2 you could clear the entirety of the game with the items you dropped for yourself because the entire game was stupidly easy. Anyone saying it wasn't either didn't play it or were just really really terrible at Diablo 2. Diablo 3 has stepped up the difficulty by leaps and bounds in comparison to D2. The closest thing in D3 you can compare to D2 hell is D3's nightmare difficulty and even then I think D2 was still easier. As to the loot system, it's the same system from D2 with the exception of legendary items having random properties.
And yes, I have both bought and sold on the AH, because I'm not a complete retard. I realize that it is a 100% viable way to get gear.
As to asking my mother about manners, I have plenty of manners, I am just sick of retards crying about needing to use the AH to get gear. The AH is as much a part of this game as anything else, get it through your thick skull and stop acting like a child about it.
