OT: Starcraft II announced!

[Artaud]

I loved the original Starcraft.

I see that unfortunately, the new version will have system-hogging 3-D graphics. Which means that I won't be buying it.

I have a pretty powerful CPU and a nice graphics card. But I've never encountered a game that was actually made better by being 3-D. The latest piece of 3-D junk I stupidly spent my money on was Caesar IV.

Even though my system is way beyond what the box says the minimum specs are, the game is so "mushy" and cursor control is so difficult that I've actually re-loaded Caesar III and re-discovered what a great game that is.

Game designers just don't get it.

Or maybe I'm just too old, and more impressed by addictive gameplay (remember that?) than pretty 3D graphics.
