Ooooh SC2.

[Ragnell]

Like 3 new useless info on FFXIV will be made

[BRP]

How "on display" is on display?

[Maguspk]

Ooooh SC2.

Sorry that acronym is already taken by a better game.

I bet we'll get very rough details on the combat system or ability system.

Soul Caliber 2 wasn't that great

[Maxxthepenguin]

Ooooh SC2.

I think I love you.

Out of all the SE "blowjob for the fans" games they produce (and one fan BJ game that isn't SE made), you chose the one they're publishing that is actually a broadening of what they do.

hi 5 yo

lets not start making ignorant claims that starcraft 2 is a better RTS than supreme commander 2. neither game has been released nor have they been demoed

I am not even sure Blizzard still has it. If Starcraft 2 is a drop in quality then that will be like a decade without a good game. I guess there is always Diablo 3.

I have a feeling that even if Starcraft 2 is a drop in quality it'll still be really well received in Korea. Unless the multiplayer is diminished to the point that people opt for the first game over the 2nd, I guess, but I don't see it happening.

Personally I'd rather own stock in Activision-Blizzard than S-E, but I'm not sure if that's a well founded business decision or just my gut reaction.

I actually think the opposite. Korea might end up sticking with 1 or this release might damage the competitive scene there. (Reports have been positive about the game though, so maybe it will turn out alright)

Huh?! Where did this come from?

EDIT: Very random.

[Atreides]

I mean despite my feelings about which is a "better" company I think Activision/Blizzard's stock will probably perform better over the next year than S-Es will.

edit: someone literally just mentioned S-E vs. blizzard like 3 posts ago, not random >_>

[Maxxthepenguin]

You don't know how stocks work do you.

SE has been so shitty for so long and pouring so much money into FF13 and 14 that when they are released and SE finally has another moneymaker on its hands its stock will probably go up.

Pretty sure they meant in their ability to create games, not as stock options.

[Atreides]

Hmm, I guess, but isn't S-E only publishing Supreme Commander 2?

and I'm not entirely sure that's how stocks work, lol. ATVI is pegged for decent growth this quarter and for the rest of the year while the rest of the industry is finally succumbing to the recession, that's all I was referring to earlier.

True. They are also misinformed.

[Atreides]

"well it has the S-E logo on it so it must be good!"
