blizzard did absolutely nothing with starcraft 2 yet the whole universe praised them once again..i grow tired of having my intelligence insulted every time blizzard releases a new game.and dont get me as a hating fanboy.starcraft 1 is one of my favourite rts.i simply expected a lot more with sc2 and all i got was literally starcraft 1 with better graphics and such a stupid excuse of a campain/sory which my 4 years old sister could have written with more imagination.i mean ok dont fix whats broken (about the gameplay) but at least try to introduce something new try to reinvent yourself push the genre forward in a way.blizzard didnt go there and choose to play safe..
i guess thats ok for some people but i just lost faith on them(and they had both the resources and the ample time to create something unique)..bioware had none of this while developing da2 and yet they risked so much and though they came up with a completely disjointed and badly executed script that was however unique and innovative very intelligent and also touched some very sensitive subjects..and thats exactly why i still respect bioware.in their limited time frame and budget they managed to preserve their dignity while releasing a whorth purchasing product.
Completely agree. Moreover, I would add that while Bio is at least trying to change the formula of its games and risks something with each new one (even DA:O was a big risk at the end) while Blizzard is playing safe recycling all the brilliant feature created by a bunch of devs that are no longer part of their company, what's more insulting with their game is the abuse of "skinner box" addiction tecnique.
A lot of people praise Blizzard for the gameplay of their titles because it's addictive. It's addictive because they abuse very simple and basic psychological tecnique. That's why they do not need a narrative in their games. There's no need to invest their games with any feeling (positive or negative). It's enough to threat their customer like pigeon in a "skinner box". Honestly, I find depressing that a company like Blizzard has to use such tool to mask the fact that their game are without soul.
Give me a flawed game with lot of personality like Alpha Protocol every day of the year over a Blizzard game.
