Buyer Reviews :
'We never payed any heed to the ancient prophecies...like fools we clung to the old hatreds...and fought as we had for generations...until the day the sky rained fire and the new enemy came among us...we stand now on the brink of destruction...for the reign of chaos has come at last...'
I remember first seeing that trailer 3 years (?) ago and thinking 'man I can't wait until next year when it comes out!' And then when they kept pushing it back, and back, and back, I thought maybe my grandchildren would be around to play this, but not me. Well, it's finally being released!!!! From what I can see of the game, and what I've read, I think it's [almost] worth the wait. Unlike other game companies, Blizzard PERFECTS its games, which have been 5 (not including expansions) over the last 8 or so years, to where they are almost perfect, instead of trying to push out game after game as fast as they can. It's this dedication that pays off when their games sell milions of copies and get Game of the Year, and their battle.net multiplayer server crashes because of the sheer multitude of people wanting to play their excellent games (they say it's not gonna happen this time) on the day a game comes out! Anyone who hates Blizzard because they take so long on their games (I have also been so unforgiving in the past) should understand this! This is the reason they are so good! The Lord of the Rings wouldn't have sold 100 million copies if J.R.R. Tolkien hadn't have been such a perfectionist. I hope that in time people will forgive them for their perfectionism once they actually play the game and see for themselves how it can pay off.
On other matters, this collectors' edition is an excellent idea (I know they did it with Diablo II). If you look on Blizzard's site, you will find the Starcraft dvd for $[money], which is about than the difference in price between the collectors' edition and the regular. Well, you get a Warcraft III dvd with this one, and I'll bet it will cost $[money] if they ever release it outside the collectors' edition. Being a big movie score fan, I am also looking forward to the soundtrack cd, which I expect will be fantastic. You also get a coffe table book of never-before-seen Blizzard artwork and 4 cards with the 3 types of heros on them. It's worth it to pay...more for all of these (I'd guess the items themselves would sell for $[money] without the game). Being a huge fan, I ordered my collectors' edition over 3 months ago, and I hope that any *true* fan of Blizzard games will also pick one of these up...
