"Whats wrong with SC2" video is full of LIES.

Akazukin · 09-21-2008, 08:15 AM

Someone posted this video a few months ago on youtube.

He argued that Starcraft 2's units are too big, hard to spot.
I think that thisguy is trying to trick you. Take a look, SC2's picture does not have any in-game button controls. It's been zoom-in, the colors are distorted.

This is the REAL picture of starcraft 2. The units are easy to spot. They are shiny, and solid.

Following that, he continue to said that the siege tank design sucks in SC2. Again, he gave you one color-distorted junk.

This is what the siege tank truly looked like.

He claim that the design of buildings is ugly. It's another distorted image.

Nope - the buildings are much more beautiful and detailed.

He is convinced that zealots looked like ninjas.

Look again. Zealots look awesome in the game.

He also mention that teleports are a cheap ability in the game. But we all know that in wow, it's a skill to teleport away really fast as a mage.

Finally, we ourselves have to admit that we are used to Starcraft's classic design. Take a look at another example - megaman. We will feel that megaman 8's design sucked as compared to megaman 1. However, after playing megaman 8, I started to like its design and game-feel. I begin to think that megaman 1 is a failure.

After playing Starcraft 2 for a few weeks, I bet that all players will start to feel that starcraft 1 is a piece of poor graphic junk.

This SC2 youtube video is trying to cheat your believes by posting ugly pictures. Not only it's an insult to Blizzard's effort, it is trying to disappoint starcraft fans in a bad way.

For those who have actually believed his video, and who have go around posting in forums "OMG SC2 Sucks buildings too bulky units too ugly look like warcraft's." Please think over carefully. Trust your own judgement. Do not say things are bad when you have not even play it before.

Sorry but we do not allow referral links, please remove all the referral links you have posted (not just in this post) and do not post anymore referrals in the future. I will punish you if you don't, thanks.

Akazukin · 09-21-2008, 08:42 AM

k, removed.

Don't worry, those are imageshack pictures.

Imageshack don't encourage people to do direct image links anymore now. Hence they have created a (link=imageshack)(img) option.

LCSBSSRHXXX · 09-21-2008, 08:45 AM

Does image shack add advertisements with their images now?

Akazukin · 09-21-2008, 08:53 AM

Nope, just a link to their webby.

LCSBSSRHXXX · 09-21-2008, 08:54 AM

What's with all the xbox ****?

Akazukin · 09-21-2008, 08:58 AM

There are no xbox ads from my end.

LCSBSSRHXXX · 09-21-2008, 09:00 AM

At the bottom of all the images in your first post they have referral links for xbox magazine and some bull**** thing about fish being thirsty... It must be related to the host of the images.

Akazukin · 09-21-2008, 09:10 AM

I get it now.

Imageshack will now generate a "new picture" with advertisement graphics below it. They tell users to use this link in forums.

Imageshack does not hotlink to 3rd party sites. When we click on pictures, we'll visit imageshack.

To use back the original , unmodifiedpicture, I have to use the direct link instead of the forum link they given.

However, imageshack states :
"DO NOT Use Link Below when posting. Use FORUM Links above for posts" in bold red. Perhaps we could just ignore their rules.

LCSBSSRHXXX · 09-21-2008, 09:13 AM

I don't really care if it's image shack doing it, I just thought u were spamming advertisements so it pissed me off. But it's all chilllll...

MiCrOz · 09-21-2008, 09:44 AM

Yeah that's all Imageshack's doing. I've noticed it on a few other pictures here.

Also, you must keep in mind that when videos are uploaded to youtube, their image quality is greatly reduced, so you can't exactly hold that against the video creator. And nobody can be sure of much of anything about SC2 yet, until we actually have the game and can see first hand.

nova587 · 09-21-2008, 10:37 AM

Yea, just take off the second img url.

Edit: You should take the picture off and not just the link aka...

Degausser · 09-21-2008, 04:04 PM

Aka, when you upload a picture to imageshack, copy the "Show image to friends" feild, and use IMG tags here, that way there's no link or advertisement.
