Thinking of pre-ordering StarCraft 2

But im worried that Blizzard will probably release must-have content that you can only access by paying. They got extremely greedy after the release of Wow.

>__>. Should I still pre-order it?

>__>. Should I still pre-order it?[/quote]I don't understand. Pre-ordering still means that you're paying for it. Also, Starcraft II is a fucking RTS, if they imbalance it AT ALL with exclusive content, NO ONE will play it.

Yeah but you're paying like what? 5$?

That means you're either paying for it in full or putting down a deposit to ensure you can get a game when it comes out. In the end, you're going to pay for the entire thing to legally own a copy.

That just goes to the price of the game. You have to pay at least $5 at most places to ensure you get the game.

I missed something. What's the "must have" content that you can only access by paying? Are you talking about the expansions? Or is there something else?

I'm asking about what is the Must-Have Pay-For stuff for WoW. I don't know of anything like that, other than expansions. And those, you don't HAVE to buy to play.

I say still pre-order, that collectors edition or whatever its called comes with alot of goodies and cool free stuff. I don't think you have to worry about being screwed when it comes to more content. Blizzard is usually only a whore when it comes to WoW content and you really can't blame them for milking that cash cow. I know I would do the same. :P

    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
