Title: StarCraft II
Post by: takemehomegrandma on July 29, 2010, 03:37:02 AM: Hey! :)

I bought StarCraft II for PC the midnight between the 26th/27th! Been waiting for kind of *a decade* (no kidding!) for this game, and I have pretty much been playing it around the clock since then. Long live summer vacation! :)

Incredible Game if you ask me! :)

The DRM and online lockouts are infuriating, though. I"ll probably crack my own copy as soon as someone figures out how.

This is not the only platform I use, but it has sure changed over the years...

What is the unit population cap on it? (previously it was 200)
Do they have the leveling for heroes?

These kind of games don't really work well on consoles IMHO. You need to sit upright in front of a computer with keyboard and mouse, not lying on a sofa with some console controller...
