Starcraft II

[splax23]

I guess this is where this topic would go. Anyone sign up for the beta yet? I just did at Battle.net

I havent played a PC game in a long time but i used to like the first Starcraft so i figured i would give it a try. hopefully i get selected. I guess you are selected based on your PC specs

im gonna be under the rec specs for this game. got a 2.2 dual core, 3 GB of ram, but just a 512 MB nvidia 9500M card.

it should get the job done tho.

yeah, I guess I'll probably still give this a shot. I'm still a little worried about how my graphics card will hold up....I've never done much computer gaming so I really don't know much about graphics cards.

I don't have any PS3 games on my radar at the moment so I might disappear on starcraft for a while.

what do you have? anything bought in the past 2-3 years should be fine as long as it wasn't a standard card

 

[MacDaddyOJack]

It is kind of a standard card, I bought it when I bought the new comp although it was an upgrade.

1GB NVIDEA GeForce GT320

 

[splax23]

just bought a new PC last year. Well above whats needed

That should be fine, the minimum and recommended are below what you have.

 

[MacDaddyOJack]

Well I guess I have to get it then.... My new computer gets here tomorrow but I probably won't get the game for about 2 weeks. I'm waiting on my next $25 from my credit card. They usually take about 10 days to get here

 

[BlueCali]

i want this, but my laptop can't handle it. I pass the mininum, but who knows. this laptop is 4 years old, it shouldn't be able to run it.

 

[MacDaddyOJack]

Wow... $60 for a third of a game. You can only play one of the races, the other two will be out later and will probably be priced much higher than they should be.

Plus they got rid of LAN play. I really hate to see these gaming companies get so greedy

 

[splax23]

So i cant decide whether to by a hard copy of the game or just the digital. I started D/L the game last night from and it was 7GB i woke up this morning and only 600mb were d/led so that must mean there are other people doing the same thing. I guess if i go with digital after its done d/ling all i gotta do is pay then i can play.
