I never learned how to play SC but maybe I will. Hell, it's like what if they remade ST excactly as it was but with not atrocious Udon sprites or whatever right. And Well I guess I didn't learn how to play that game but in some ways I kind of did. So maybe I can for this too. Cheers everyone. Oh and this is out.

i grew up playing this, and i still love watching pro SC and SC2 matches. cant wait to have a nostalgiafest w/ this on the weekend, even if youre afraid of other players it has really good and lengthy singleplayer campaigns

They gave away the original for free as well so I think I'll just do that instead of giving modern Blizzard any money at all. But thanks for the reminder OP, I was meaning to check this out when it came out

probably gonna end up finally picking up legacy of the void too, they made a lot of great changes to the multi recently

I was really into SC2 for a while, then I had kids and quit cold turkey.

But if imps are gonna be doing this I'd be up for some games on BGH.

I don't want to play anyone multiplayer who knows what their doing unless their gonna give me a crash course I can actually learn from, but I'm down to play once I've played the campaign.

Is there a good resource for learning SC1 for a complete noob. I find watching the game on Twitch and stuff almost impenetrable but it doesn't seem like the multi is similar to the campaign in how you play.

From what I remember the campaign doesn't have the like two decades worth of balance changes applied, yeah.

I never really figured out how to play SC1 outside of custom money maps which were just a giant field of minerals spelling out "gently caress YOU".

E: if you're learning we can just do 2v2 comp stomps and whatnot. Just picking a basic build order and remembering to always build probes will get you pretty far.

Like the timings and strategy are all different than they'd be in a real 1v1 match but that stuff is way less important for a newb than just remembering to always be building poo poo.

the SP is really good at teaching you the units and controls and stuff in both games, but if you really wanna learn to dive into 1v1 there are a lot of great tutorial series on youtube you could easily look up. i feel like throwing out general tips would turn this into a dark souls thread

i never played the mods growing up but i was super into the custom stuff in sc2, especially coop maps that let you have totally broken custom units

i have a big crush on the sc caster tasteless, but I don't find SC2 watchable anymore. brood war was really the poo poo and even though i will never reach even an intermediate skill level in the game competitively, I still love to both play and watch it, so I hope this is a good thign

i feel like LOTV made it watchable now that theres no 5 minutes of nothing at the start of every match and players are forced to be aggressive and expand quickly, the balance changes are also constant and theyre not afraid to totally redesign units and really shake things up.

this release is reviving the sc1 scene, and the sc2 scene just exploded w/ the recent content releases. what a time to be alive

The battle.net client won't let me install Starcraft and the Error Code just says Something went wrong!. I also have like 6 differnt blizzard accounts because whenever I stopped and restarted playing WoW years ago I kept making new accounts and most of them have been hacked by Chinese gold farmers and disabled so I don't know which one still works.

Command & Conquer and Warcraft 2 came out in 1995. Command & Conquer: Red Alert came out in 1996. Starcraft came out in 1998. Tiberian Sun came out in 1999. Red Alert 2 came out in 2000. Warcraft 3 came out in 2002. We're never going to have it that good again. Valedictions, gamer.

Had a dream I was playing SC for the first time, as zerg, and within 2 minutes someone sent one of those sniper units to scout my base before it even occured to me to send one of my things to look for them.
