Thoughts on the upcoming Starcraft wargame?
Coming out at least a decade too late.
>>96465572The minis they showed look amazing>>96465578This too, but it still might find its niche.
I think it looks promising. We didn’t get to see much, but I like what I’ve seen of it so far.

>>96465755I believe you're thinking about Overwatch.
>>96465898Rent-free.
>>96465572The only way I'm buying any of these minis is if each kit comes with an authentic sample of pilfered breastmilk from the Blizzard Breastmilk Fridge, complete with a picture of the woman it was stolen from.
Would much rather get the epic scale Halo game back
>>96466074I wish the space ship game was not dead on arrival. Did even went into production? I recall seeing some images of a super carrier and then nothing more.
>>96466139Lasted 6 months and got 3 waves of product out sadly
Nuke this thread and all the schizos in it
>>96466231>t. perfidious webcam company
>>96465860My beef with Starcraft 2 is the writing is shit, the art style is atrocious, and they absolutely ruined the thematic design of all three races.Oh and the game sucks.
>>96465572Ignoring that this thread is for some reason about pedophilia apologia and who does it, I think this game looks shit. No, I haven’t read the rules and maybe there’s something clever in there, but the style is amateur-modelled print slop. Who wants to be limited to three factions in a sci-fi setting? Who wants to engage with this paper thin Blizzard lore? Someone shared a bottle of soju with an exec and convinced him to give him the rights so he could make a quick buck off his off-shore 3D modelling office.
>>96466373A truly good wargame wouldn’t require more than one faction, they are an excess, a luxury meant for the low brow
>>96466373>Who wants to be limited to three factions in a sci-fi setting? Who wants to engage with this paper thin Blizzard lore?Trench Crusade faggots.
>>96466392There are more than 3 factions in that
>>96466373Admission of not having read the rules and cries of "everything I don’t like is LE SLOP" aside, didn’t they say that they plan to make several factions for the three races? Could be interesting, I dunno
>>96466527I played a lot of StarCraft and I have no misgivings about it, but the style looks like slop. Bad proportions, too nu-Blizzard. StarCraft 2’s aesthetic did itself scuff the clarity of the artistic vision of the first by making everything so smooth. The models they’ve shown renders for look like random crap you’d find online from an independent creator. That’s not ‘everything I don’t like is slop’. Plenty of things I don’t like don’t look like slop. I hate primaris but they looks good.
Have they even revealed any models? This shit was announced like a year ago, thought it was vaporware.
>>96466708They did show some in a stream not too long ago, they look pretty nice: https://www.youtube.com/live/KaBLk74eHQ0?feature=shared
>>96466918>Goliath spottedSo it won't just be limited to SC2 (non-campaign) units, thank God
>>96467234I still watch from time to time SC2 and SC games and one of the most common things that happen is that people started playing SC, try SC2 and rapidly go back to SC. Hell people that never played SC when they where kid so no nostalgia goggles and started playing the game with SC2 try SC and eventually leave SC2 behind.SC2 is an objectively worst game than SC, even kids that grew with nothing but modern game eventually stick with good old SC finding that things like the retarded pathfinding of the Goliath or the Dragoon to be a skill to master than a flaw of the game. Which is odd coming from kids that usually get frustrated easily.

>>96467596>opponent somehow deploys 20 zerglings before I even finish building my list
>>96466409Isn't it just dirkas, christfags, and rainbow brigade?
SC1BW -> 2 is the biggest case of soul to onions I've ever seen in gaming short of Crysis 1 to 2.
>>96467596>fat nerds physically assaulting each other at game stores over proxy pylonsGod, I can’t wait
>>96467234>terrain inspired by 40k L-shaped tournament terrainDisgusting
>>96467596>Get to turn 3 against a Terran player>He announces "Nuclear Launch Detected" and pulls out a laser pointer
>>96465572I hate the SC2 protoss aesthetic
>>96465572I am so /awg/ and /hwg/ that any "property game" seems sus to me because I watch them come and go, and inevitably sell out before I get to try them.These days I'm like a sniper, waiting, willing off the roadside to catch whatever it I see the kids are talking about so I can raid it for cool minis. Yet afaik Starcraft was joyously brief in its lore. Nothing to get in the way of a wargame... I'm looking at you GW.
>>96466392>Who wants to engage with this paper thin Blizzard lore?You want fluff: a cassus belli, a vibe, a reason to campaign and make /yourdudes/Lore is gay and cribbed 99% from history which inevitably reads more exciting anyway. What sci fi or fantasy property ever improved by being fucking expanded upon at the corporate end? At some point you're just going to have to be creative. People criticise historical gamers but I see more self expression and craft than people just rote following seasons of fucking lore, with its attendant spinoffs, everyquestion answered, might as well just stay in bed.
>>96465572I'm excited as all hell for it.>>96465578The Starcraft community is alive and well. World championship was less than a month ago. The player base is certainly smaller, but we're just as dedicated as ever and eh. More excited to play it with friends than to see it be massively popular.
>>96471480And which of the remaining 15 starcraft players wants to build and paint models instead of just playing the vidya they've been playing for the past 10 years or whatever?
>>96471396>I am so /awg/ and /hwg/ that any "property game" seems sus to me>the current /awg/ OP is Halo franchiseslop Lawl
>>96471538On average, it's up 100k players since 2020. Starcraft is plenty popular.Dunno why you think "it's not popular!" is an insult towards something.
>>96466687>I hate primaris but they looks good.Oh I am laffing.
>>96466074God I miss Spartan, they made some solid games.
>>96469169What the fuck are you talking about?
>>96471538Every time I see a Timmy and his mom wander into a GW store the staff explains it as, "like Starcraft," so there's definitely a chance it could take off.
>>96466291YOU FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTALWAYS ONLINE DRMNEVER FORGIVENEVER FORGET
>>96468027It's two teams (heaven/hell) but each has at least three factions within them. Presumably SC wargame could work the same way with factions within the races, like how SC2 does co-op commanders.
>>96471663>Dunno why you think "it's not popular!" is an insult towards something.He's a /v/edditor.
