Nope lol, not buying it. Already played SC and while I enjoyed it eventually it got old. I could probably get a little enjoyment from a graphics upgrade and a patch that changes a few things but not enough to buy SC2. I'm not going to spend 50-60 for a week or less of nostalgia.

I think that you think that we care that you're not planning to play SC2. Why do people feel the need to tell us what games they're not planning to play?

why do people need to tell us the games they are playing?
But I also got a question for all the people who have replied that said "No, Its an RTS, You played one, you played them all." or to the people who said "No, it will be 3 different games, why pay for one, if you can wait and pay for them all at once." Or even to the people who said "I played sc1, and this is just sc1 with better graphics."
To those people, Have any of your heard of the genra MMORPG, yeah you should since it is what this site is all about. And well if you have played one MMORPG, you have played them ALL. There all pretty much the same with a few different things here and there. Same with every other game. Take FPS for example, you have your ww2/ww1 FPS, your modern, your Sci-fy, all thats different is the guns you use, and the time period its played in. You played one FPS you played them all.
You can say that for ANY type of game. So to me thats a stupid argument.
For the poeple who said "No, it will be 3 different games, why pay for one, if you can wait and pay for them all at once." I agree with you why pay for 1 now when you can wait 2 or 3 or whatever many years and get all 3 at once. But I also have to ask. For the games that are MMORPG that have more then one expantion and are p2p games. Would you really have gone and got that first game if they first came out and said "ay $50 for this game, and $15 a month, but also then were going to come out with 2 more "Games a.k.a expantions", that you will have to pay $X amount for when they come out." Would you really have gotten that first game? Or have waitted until all 3 were out and you could get all 3 for the price of one?
I mean I agree that $60 is expensive, but if your getting ~30 missions a campaign for a total of ~90 mission once the other 2 games are released to me is just as good as getting ~10 missions per game for each class and then ~another 10 for each xpac. As long as each xpac as I will call them isn't just a campaign but adds in some new units to the other races, and other diddly stuff then its all good imo.
For MMORPG's each xpac really only gives you a new region most of the time, more quests, lvl cap raise, and a new class. Which to me is the equivalent as in RTS as new official maps to play, more single player campaign missions, and new units to play. To me SC is good enough with there 3 classes that they dont need to add in a 4th just so people think its "Worthwhile" to buy the game.
And finally for the people who say "I played sc1, and this is just sc1 with better graphics." now this is just my opinion, but I think just because there isn't any MIND BLOWING innovative stuff, or that there isn't a new class to play, or the game play hasn't drastically changed, that you can still say this game hasn't changed. Theres new units, whole new map editor (I am almost positive we will see some really fun, creative, innovative custom maps coming from the community), there's the graphics upgrade, engine upgrade (theres little things going on that if you took the time to look you would notice is new in sc2 that wasn't in sc1). And I am sure theres a list of things different in sc2 then from sc1 that I dont feel like looking for right now, or listing myself.
My point being, That a lot of your arguements you use for not buying a game this game (OK, for the people who say "Im not into RTS" or its to expensive I will wait" or whatever) I say congrats you have a valid arguement, you dont like the genera good for you. But for most of your theres things I bet I could mention about whatever games your playing now that just turns your argument for not buying this game into just pure stupidity.

Oh and for a side note, I am going on about 2 hours sleep (no not because I bought sc2 and been playing it), so if anything I said seems off or doesn't make sence or whatever, im sorry. And its purely because im so damn tired.
I will be passing on it. I still have the original SC and it's expansion somewhere around here... I used to play it a lot but like all things it got old. Been there done that. The "new" stuff they're peddling now just doesn't seem to be "fresh" enough. It just fails to pull me in, or even spark any kind of interest. That coupled with the price tag and the 3 different installments just pretty much drives the final nail in the coffen for me.
In the Mean time I'm gonna be playing Divine Divinity. Once that's done I'll go find Divinity 2 and butt stomp my way through that too. At least for the time being the first one is rather entertaining.
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-

The problem with your rant is this:
With an mmorpg, the later content with expansions ADDS to an already existing FULL game. Normally, expansions to singleplayer games just add more to do after you've played the FULL original game.
What Activision and Blizzard are doing is CHOPPING ONE GAME INTO THREE GAMES to milk the cow.
I refuse to support that.

Along those lines why do we come to forums and talk about anything at all. *shrug*

Not gonna fork up 60 bucks for a milkcow.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
I will be falling in the no category.

I most certainly shall not! You can stick my money on purple. Pun intended...
Why is this thread on this site?:P MMORPG.com, SC2 is an RTS? Well to answer the question anyways, i wont be buying it cos i'm not terribly into RTS.
<QQ moar plz. kkthxbai.>
That too.
This!
And i never liked SC...
Maybe they feel we may be interested in what they are doing with their lives and want to share a part of it with everyone!
<QQ moar plz. kkthxbai.>
I'll not be wasting my money on SC2.
i'm not gunno buy it.
Nope, I even received a beta key and didn't use it. Done with Blizzard.
Along those lines why do we come to forums and talk about anything at all. *shrug*
