How many other games out recently are bound to one account

kiwi_2005 · 10-26-11, 11:34 AM

Got a copy of Starcraft II, well I told son some @subsim are downloading BF3 now so he drove to the nearest Dick Smiths shop which is out of town 30k away to get a copy only to find out the boxed version aint released yet! My fault

So instead he comes back with Starcraft II still priced high $90 what a rip off.

Anyways one profile per game account? So if I want to have my own profile to play multi player or even the single player campaign I have to buy a 2nd copy? What a load of crap if this achievement rating rubbish wasn't bound to one battlenet account there would be as many profiles as we like. WoW you have one account but up to 25 profiles (characters) where each one is achievment tracked. They could of done the same with SCII.

Even if they have a limit of say 3 profiles per acc that would even work.

What happens if son ends up going against some Asian player where we all know are born with +10 to all life stats so thrashes him 10 games to 0, son rage quits telling them their glorious leader is an asshat and hopes America nukes them all, konradcurze profile is now banned from all servers. Dad comes on hoping to have a good night gaming only to get kicked from every server.

See where Im coming from? No dont ask me to teach son some new life skills hes part jewish thats how they roll. He gets it from his mum.

One profile per account my ass.

I know DOW 2 is one profile but when you go online you can play under a different name.

Diablo 3 will no doubt be one profile as well.

One thing I got to the part in the campaign where you play the next 4 missions as the protoss & the last mission of the protoss where its fight to the death. Best missions so far in the game.

Argh that's survival one as the protoss killed me, since I play Zerg in multi.

kiwi_2005 · 10-27-11, 06:50 AM

I haven't tried multi yet, not even the skirmish, want to finish the campaign & know whats it all about with the units and then give a try with multi player. So far its actually not a bad game I can't help thinking though its just a facelift of SC1 with some surprises along the way.

Falkirion · 10-27-11, 05:28 PM

Its basically SC1 with a face lift but with an okay story. Multi is great though, especially the high level gameplay. I watch most of the SC2 multi stuff on youtube since Husky (Husky being a SC commentator) makes the matches fun to listen to (As in he's not going to go into extreme amounts of detail and is there for fun, rather than serious business)

Still playing it frequently, not much online thought unless with a friend.

My favorite bit of the campaign are the final missions when you return to Char.
favorite race is the Terrans thought most of my MP victories are with Protoss

but damn Protoss can't beat quotes like :
"What is best: to crush the zerg, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the protoss."

or

"I know I made some very poor decisions lately, but I can give you complete assurance that my work will be back to normal."

anyway if you haven't seen it yet

Heart of the Swarm Preview Trailer:

overpriced or not...must have it!
(They still sell StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty for the same price when it was released)

Finish the campaign, have to say it was one of the best story line, RTS game Ive played for a long time. Blizzard at its best when it comes to SP. Been trying out the practice league multiplayer and getting hammered, won a couple of games as protoss but lost everyone as Terran v Zerg

HunterICX · 10-30-11, 01:30 PM

Terran vs Zerg...Where mah Firebats!!!

I really hate that some units aren't there in Multi/vs AI Skirmish.

the Hellion has to do then

"Hoo boy, I'm hotter than a June bug ridin' bareback on the hind leg of a jack rabbit with his tail on fire!"

Learnt a new strat last night though I was on the wrong end of the stick, a player bet me 3 times in a row on the practice league . Just when I thought I was doing well with protoss this Terran player thrashed me early in game using reapers every time.
