I actually think that a 4th race wouldn't be so out of the question. In fact, the reason why I believe they haven't implemented one is because of the "outrage" that the community would give. (Rightfully or wrongly)
Anyways, I don't think it would be so much of an issue to bring into the story line. Who says that there are only 3 races in the universe? What about critters? I know that sounds stupid, but I'm being serious. The first thing that comes to my mind is Avatar... I'm not talking about tribal people, I'm talking about something based off of nature? The idea might sound stupid, but what about a race of "plant people"?
To fit into the storyline, the zerg (or terran) could invade a planet, only to find a "primitive" race living there. They are bound to their planet by the laws of plants, it could go on and on.
I'm just saying, I came up with an idea (granted, not a very good one, but still an idea) in less than 30 seconds. With the entire Blizzard team, I'm sure they could come up with something that would make sense, and would add A LOT to the game.
IN THIS TOPIC WE SHALL DISCUSS ABOUT HOTS, WHY TO PURCHASE?, WHY NOT?. NO ATTACKS TOWARDS ANY OTHER MEMBER OF SC2MAPSTER SHALL BE MADE BEING THEM DIRECT OR IMPLIED. PERIOD. NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC REQUIRED IF IT IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO STARCRAFT 2.
In case I wasn't clear enough SHUT UP and GET ON TOPIC.
ITT:
You see, I got SC and SC: BW for like 10 bucks, both of them, like in 2007 or so, and it was actually on sale.
If you put it that way it makes sense that HotS would have this price, but still, it feels just like new data and a couple new graphics :P
I'm not opposed to buying it, I have stated that I already have bought it, nor do I see it as a rip off, but I do feel it's just a high quality campaign that we could have made :P
I think the price is okay, I think about it this way, if I go out one night have a couple of drinks, have dinner, ect, I spend that same ammount in one single night of fun. If i put it this way, hots can give me many nights for the same price :P
It's way less than what people in the us seem to spend in other franchises that really have literally no changes at all in gameplay. Shoot stuff and kill stuff to win. Whereas we get a new campaign with a complete different gameplay, same RTS concepts, as always, but different ways to play that one single RTS concept.
Eitherway the single player campaign is merely a bonus to me, I like the multiplayer melee, eventhough I suck at it I find it really fun to play 2s or 3s with a couple of friends.
I never preorder games but this is sort of an exception- I kinda need this one to do my job here ^.^ I should probably get around to buying it :P
You know, I find it really weird, but is there a reason not to pre order games?
You ARE getting it either way, right? Be it after its release or before. Or is it more of a "I'm still undecided" kind of thing?
I just find it really weird why some people say they don't pre order things, it's just likc buying a concert ticket, sure you could probably buy it at the same day of the event but isn't it just nicer to already have the safety of having your ticket now?
Cheers!
I got paid on friday so I bought it on sunday, had a little issues with my currency but already have my account being standard hots. yay.
I got GTA IV a while ago, I don't know, I have mixed feelings about it. It was on sale on steam and it costed me like 5 bucks so I didn't spend much but I think it's one of those games that it's just better in a console. I remember enjoying san andreas and both of vice city so much on ps2 but the controls for the PC version of GTA are just impossible for me. I literally modded the hell out of it so I could use a crappy usb controller. And even that way it's still a bitch cause I cannot properly use guns while driving or aim while walking...
Still, I like it and don't know if I should get GTA V, I definitely will not if it's got the same issue as GTA IV for me or maybe in two years time when it's 5 bucks on steam :P
Out of curiosity, Why is the total different than the purchase ammount?
That's not stupid, that's an awesome idea.
@Taintedwisp: Go
Okay, just to be clear:

it is funny because like 3 years ago i told sixen the very same thing. that expansions really would just be more data and a few new models :p
I lol'd, EW.
