Play it! ITS HERE!!!

Been playing it now and I can confirm that the first few missions are roughly 30-45min long and there is a total of 26 missions. Though there are more missions since you can sometimes choose to play a different story path.

So SP works out roughly between 13hours (experienced) -19 hours (casual) of actual gameplay and add a ~3 more hours for cinematics, exploring/ talking to characters and mission briefing.

What I like about it so far is it that each mission is quite unique.
Game can be finished in 5-6 hours. The campaign is REALLY short!!
 
Pirate it, so you can get hooked, be torn apart by your conscience because you pirated one of the highest quality games to come out this decade, and go out buy the damn game for the multiplayer!

I call BS on this, because that would mean that average mission was completed in 11min and many missions have some mechanic that prevents this. Not to mention all the cinematic etc. So far some peeps are chuffed if they finished it in 16 hours.

There is an achievement for completing the SP campaign in under 8 hours in Normal. But you can only do it if you skip every single cutscene/conversation/upgrades and only do missions.

I've got about 4-5 hours gametime so far but I've only finished 8-9 missions. Spend too much time deciding what to upgrade.
 
Well I see the pirates are on top form again. There are already two releases available, one from Reloaded and another from Liberty. That was quick. :)

finishing the complete game in 6 hours?? BS, go post in off topic or something.. :rolleyes:

guys I know R529 (what I paid) is a lot of money, I mean come on, it is! But for a game of this quality, and length, its totally worth it. Remember you also paying for battle.net, which imho they have done a damn good job.

I was also pissed when they announced NO LAN... But I have been playing with my mates over the net and there is NO LAG at all. I dont know how they managed it... but its true!! :) So you dont need LAN... get over it...

I havent bought many games, but the way things are movning... online gaming is huge. Reach into you pocket and cough it up, its worth it.

If you wanna pirate, go ahead, but I think its better to pay for the online game (SC2, WOW etc etc)

peace

couldn't agree more, stop being cheap and pirating a game of such high quality
 
Everyone had more than enough time to save up for Starcraft 2, I mean 12 years is a long time :p
 
Hehehe I love the reaction in this thread. Don't pirate this! It's good! Must buy! As opposed to every other game ever released that you're willing to pirate? A game is a game is a game. Don't care who made it, how long it took, or how much it costs. Not that I'm interested in SC2... I'd rather have Diablo 3. That I'd actually buy. This... I'll probably download it at some point to see what the fuss is about. The first one didn't impress me all that much, maybe they improved it a bit.

Oh, and to HTC_guy: You need to read my original post again. I didn't say I downloaded and finished it in six hours, How would I manage that? The image file is 7 gigs... That would take a while on my 384 line I believe. I don't download 24/7... more like 12/7 ;)

@Fur : Edit -> Look for the delete option on the edit inputs - use the delete option.

I very nearly bought a copy yesterday.
But then I decided to have a 4 day weekend away instead, with one day 250cc quad hire included, for R20 more.

The point isn't that it's okay to pirate other games Cooper, the point is that pirates always make the excuse that games aren't good enough to buy and that's why they pirate etc. What we're saying is that this game as far as RTS goes is pretty much as good as it gets and has been well tuned and polished; besides, without the multiplayer your not getting the game's true experience anyway.

Another thing, the reason why LAN was removed from the game is because of cheapskate pirates and most of the people complaining about the LAN being removed are? yep, the cheapskate pirates, so keep the LAN out of the game I say.

I did that, clicked on delete but nothing happens


Only problem with them deleting the lan is we now have to use bandwidth to play with friends in SA and we have to deal with higher latency which granted atm seems ok on battle net
 
open an Edgars account (grey card - 6 months interest free) - buy it at CNA using Edgars Card.

R88 a month

R22 a week

So that is like giving up 1 McDonalds Burger (without fries and cooldrink) per week for 6 months.

Good value for such a good game (and you can play online for years to come at no additional cost)
