		<description>Ok 

someone said the story was corny i think the story has corny moments but over all is pretty good if you beat the SC1 campaign. Now some people didn&#039;t even contain facts as to why &quot;starcraft 2 sucks..&quot; please stop flaming i know the community is filled with douche bags ( or atleast bronze i&#039;ve only been in bronze) basically this game is a dick to newbs. if i found you and i wish it was me i would train you and stuff so a dick move wouldn&#039;t make you hate this game. i don&#039;t know what to say really i really enjoy the fast paced combat. I kind of see how stuff can be countered and am training to get better. Also yes void rays are over powered in the lower leagues if you don&#039;t pull some diamond moves you die. still once again i don&#039;t know what to say but lets have peace, i hate flame wars &gt;__&gt;) i have a feeling that this was invain and i&#039;m gonna get horribly insulted but ya know what since i love you guys i posted anyway ;D 

I absolutely agree with you Jason the only thing i disagree with is saying the game is unbalanced. everything else i have found after 150 games to be absolutely true, which is sad cus sc2 is a great game*(well i&#039;m in love with fast combat and repetition) which is why i think its great and enjoy i guess... i don&#039;t wanna be a douche? was i a douche.. 

well if you ever consider leageu again i will personally train you and then you surpass me and we surpass each other thats if you have the time cus it will probably take 2 years for fuks sake XD</description>

		<description>Well lets see...I know its been too long since the release of the S2 but I decided to buy it one month ago.You are right.The races are TOTALLY UNBALLANCED.I decided to play online as Zerg and after spending hours playing ranked matches and finishing the story I spotted some of the unbalances.First of all the zerg are the weakest race there.It cannot build any structures (except the main building-the hatchery)anywhere on the map unless there is creep on the ground.The units are SUPER WEAK so zerg rely on numbers(the more the better)but until you gather the desirable amount of units you get pwned by the other player.I tried some techniques I saw on the internet but the only one that worked is to produce zerglings and attack opponets builders.If u fail that,the chances to win is unfavorable.Now about the protoss and the terran.Protoss builders can spam buildings very fast.So they use that advantage to win.Terran units and buildings are strong so they turtle up,and no Zerg can approach them.Thats some of the unbalances I spotted while I was playing.There are more but I dont want to become tedious.Of course you could say:If you cant handle zerg then choose an other race.The question is right but I played the campaign and i liked them.Also the main part of the campaign you play as a Terran.So you get small chance to familiarize yourself with the other races.And in the end of the day cant a dude choose its favorite race?Ans Blizzard owes to make them balanced.But they didnt</description>

		<description>I personally agree with the imbalancement, i believe no race at all is balanced to the right percentage. I do however not think that terran is unbalanced on all sides, sure terran has to get some nerfes but terran needs other things to do then ONLY mnm once its mid game or end game. all the other 2 races has tactics to go for like only warpgate units or roaches/zerglings etc. Terran has no variety. I personally have become so mad with rage against blizzard for not managing to balance 3 fucking races (YES BLIZZARD! SUCK COCK)
for example, emp got nerfed that was the terran equal of fungal growth which ownes against any light infantary or what ever gets struck by the stun and massive dmg, same with psi storm. But my question is what does terran havE? tanks? that are imobile and suck dick? yeah i guess... i will not be playing sc2 anymore since im fucking sick of blizzard and how they have become with there small &quot;changes&quot; to their games -.-</description>

		<description>Just cuz u dont know the game well enough you shout &quot;imbalanced&quot; overpowerd terran ... quite immature as you say your self youre new at the game, how could you possibly even judge if the game is balanced or not no matter how good u where at sc1.

Im not trollig just stating the truth for alot of you blind people out there, most players in whatever game you take as in a example are quite bad and do stuff without really knowing why and never ask them self the question why. These people always have an opinion and always want to judge things, and it fail about every time. Cuz .. youre simply not good enough to judge

Quake one, starcraft, warcraft, civilization 3-5 online ... people think they are good but they aint, there are only a few diamonds out there in the world and a few more who understand their limits and that they are actually not that great and barley good enough to judge and have good oppinions about the game


But as long as you enjoy the game .. who cares, just spare me your opinion about the balance in diffrent games youre so far away from understanding</description>

		<description>It is true what you say, but try playing EVE Online, I&#039;d argue that they&#039;re even worse there because they actually think that randomly getting the right fit for their cruiser ship automatically means they&#039;re skilled.

It is sad but I think that the age where you simply logged on a game to play and have fun is dead. Corporations and games developers have found they can keep gamers on their games for far longer and cheaper if they inflate their ego&#039;s through shiny items and ladder competitions.

Good luck trying to do that kind of thing on CSS, I think the best games are the ones where even with nothing more than a pistol you can take down several opponents at once.

The kind of games like Starcraft 2 are nothing more than rock/paper/scissors online and in the end can only have one definite outcome as opposed to everything being up to the player.</description>

		<description>Starcraft is the most unbalanced game I&#039;ve ever seen actually.  I&#039;ve never played Starcraft I, yet Starcraft, I have.  I noticed how it is unbalanced when i selected as many zerglings as it would allow(AKA 12 zerglings). With a courageous attempt to eliminate a Terran bunker, I couldn&#039;t.  For anyone who claims hotkeys, 144 zerglings can&#039;t kill 143 Terran Marines.  &quot;Yay, I&#039;m going to obliterate all the Terran base, with 12 zerglings&quot;</description>

		<description>This made me laugh. I know this is from forever ago but I felt compelled to comment. It was a beta - part of the goal of a beta in general is to refine the game, including balance issues for RTS games. So even if I agreed with your viewpoint on balance at this time (which I don&#039;t), it still doesn&#039;t reflect the game at release. 

All races are good at different things, therefore some strategies are better against certain races - but that&#039;s what happens when you have 3 completely distinct races in a game. 

If you and a partner zerg expanded to every base and mined them all out and a 2 base terran still won - you&#039;re doing it wrong and tossing units at him, or he&#039;s way better than you. Most likely it was the latter. Fair enough, you don&#039;t like to lose - no one does, but you&#039;re likely to come across people way better than you at games on the nebulous internets. Get used to it. If you want to win, get better - if you don&#039;t care enough to get better at the game, don&#039;t complain when you lose. You say you like CoH - personally I think it takes less multitasking and skill to play (mainly because there&#039;s less economy to manage), but I&#039;ve only played it once so I fully admit my statement isn&#039;t backed by any knowledge - a similarity to your comments above. That aside, if I played you and lost in a big way in CoH, does that suddenly make the side I played unbalanced? Or is it just likely you&#039;re much better than me?

Also since the beta the ladder matchmaking system has gotten a lot better and you&#039;d likely be playing people of your skill level after a few placement games.

As far as people - yes, some people are dicks - that comes with any popularized game, but a lot of people are great people. It doesn&#039;t sound like you played too many games, so I doubt you can refute this statement with any degree of accuracy.

Anyways, that&#039;s the end of my rant - as a software developer I just resent it when people judge what a product is going to be like when it comes out during the beta. It&#039;s a beta for a reason - you want to iron things out. Also I love SC2 and I feel you didn&#039;t give it a fair try. I&#039;m also trying to get into CoH cause I have a few friends who love it though - so I may have to change my comment about it above after I&#039;ve played more.</description>

		<description>So much pathetic people here. They lose and automatically blame the game, say the game doesn&#039;t take skill, decide to uninstall, decide to steal the game, decide that Blizzard is greedy ALL BECAUSE YOU LOSE IN A VIDEO GAME. 

God forbid that you put a little bit of work into something to be good at it. I have no idea how you guys even get through everyday life with this mindset.</description>
