If I had paid $60 for it I would indeed be disappointed.īut thing is I don't consider about 99% of games out there to be worth $60 for one reason or another. Tiny cities and shitty path finding alone could sink a game like that. Oh, there's no debate that its a gongshow. Hope that the guys at Hidden Path learn from that and implement LAN, they already have Steam's DRM to protect somewhat against pirating and AOE2HD isn't really likely to be as big an esport as SC2. Forcing every game and tournament to be played on their servers allows them to collect data better and retain the ability to blacklist tournaments that don't give them a cut of their profits in exchange for being allowed to broadcast their game (I'm not sure I believe that last bit, it's just what I've heard). They have not yet, however implemented LAN in the main game, most presumably as a reaction to the lack of control they had over the Brood War competitive scene and the mass pirating that went on with that game. With Heart of the Swarm Blizzard have implemented a recover game feature which basically lets players drop straight back into the middle of a disconnected game. Here is a shot of one of the lead developers in the audience after a disconnect in the finals of the biggest team league in Starcraft 2, his face pretty much says it all. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creeschīlizzard did pretty much this exact thing with Starcraft 2 and it led to a lot of very high profile disconnects and forced regames in tournaments./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
