Here they are

-No DRM crap(BY FAR THE BIGGEST REASON ON THE LIST)
-It offered LAN play
-Better pacing
-Less plotholes/storyline errors
-THE CONTENT WAS ON THE ACTUAL DISC
-Zerg Overmind as a advisor more idimating and interesting the Zerg Queen suck as a adisor
-Raynor was not an emo unlike in SC2

Well that my reasons so far.

Your reasons suck:

1. You need to authenticate and login ONCE. After that you can play offline forever.
2. True, but Blizzard are taking steps in the right direction and offline LAN may be implemented later.
3. I doubt you're a 170+ APM player that cares about pacing.
4. Remember, it's a story in progress and your average "plot hole" is very minor.
5. Did you know that SC2 requires an internet connection? It even says so on the back of da box. For a game this popular and ever changing, updates are necessary.
6. Irrelevant, who'd you want instead? Abathur? (Ok, that would'a been awesome.)
7. Irrelevant.

SC91294829748912410274 is way better in my opinion.

No thats not true even for single player Online feature for an online task that dosent make any sense there is no adavatage to that It makes some sense in WOW because you need Online to be conneted with other people Why do i need Online to play against the AI or campaign I lose connection and i cant play it again i plus I NEED TO LOG IN EVERY SINGLE TIME TO PLAY THE GAME.

2. True, but Blizzard are taking steps in the right direction and offline LAN may be implemented later.
No hackers and pirates are doing that and i dont blame them considering how stingy blizzard has been over the last couple of years.

5. Did you know that SC2 requires an internet connection? It even says so on the back of da box. For a game this popular and ever changing, updates are necessary
No im not talking about updates it REQUIRES YOU TO DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE ENTIRE GAME FROM ONLINE REGARDLESS IF YOU BOUGHT THE RETAIL VERSION THE IDEA OF A PHYSICAL COPY IS THAT THE GAME DISC IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE THERE WAS NO POINT OF RELEASE THE RETAIL VERSION IF THERE WAS ALREADY A DIGITAL DELUXE VERSION I MEAN I SPENT NEARLY $100 ON THE COLLECTERS EDITION ONLY TO FIND A LITTLE 2MB DOWNLOADER CLIENT TO BE ON THE DISC I AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW SO DONT EXPECT DOWNLOADS/UPDATES ALTEAST 8-9MONTHS DOWN THE LINE
I LIKE I SAID I UNDERSTAND UPDATES BUT NOT INSTALL AN ENTIRE NEW GAME FROM ONLINE WHEN I ALREADY HAVE THE DISC I MEAN THE DISC DOSENT EVEN SPIN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD ITS NEARLY USELESS

Stop trying to defend Blizzard they used to be good now they are one of the most stingest game company Bethesda had the right idea with Fallout 3 DLC you can download it online BUT WHEN YOU BOUGHT THE RETAIL VERSION IN THE SHOPS THE F3CKING DISC ACTUALLY HAS CONTENT ON IT BECASUE IF IT DID NOT THERE WOULD BE NO POINT TO A RELEASE A PHYSICAL COPY IN STORES ANYWAY.

F3ck blizzard f3ck them to hell.

1. It is true, YOU DON'T NEED TO LOGIN EVERY TIME, JESUS. Do you even own the game?

5. If your internet connection suck, you shouldn't have bought the game. Broadband internet connection is a minimum spec requirement for this game, look it up.

And stop your goddam shouting, the disc isn't empty if that's what you think. It actually contains patch data to about 1.5. Starcraft is constantly evolving, and the game has been updated a lot since that DVD went live, hence the updates.

Have you bought heart of the swarm?
I bought it on DAY 1
Wings of liberty contains data yes but Heart of the swarm no.

WHY SHOULD IT REQUIRE INTERNET IF I WANT TO PLAY SINGLE PLAYER OR SKIRMISH MODE YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY IT WONT BECASUE BLIZZARD IS SO PARANOID WHEN IT COMES TO PIRACY BUT THE THING THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ITS NOT PIRACY THATS DESTROYING PC GAMING ITS ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES LIKE DRM JUST LOOK AT THE RECENT SIM CITY LAUCNCH PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY DRM IS BAD.

I think piracy should be legal and DRM should be banned.
Eventually we could have a situation where a company makes a game, sells 1 copy, and everyone else gets it for free! Wouldn't that be great?

I guess it might drive prices up a bit though if the game developer wanted to stay alive... say to a couple of million pounds per copy.
Then we could all get together, pay £40 each towards it, buy 1 copy and then distribute it for free!

Wait...

Maybe we're stuck with the way it is now, with gamers saying sane and reasonable things like "ITS NOT PIRACY THATS DESTROYING PC GAMING ITS ANTI-PIRACY MEASURES LIKE DRM BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IF THEY JUST LEFT PIRACY TO BECOME THE NORM WE WOULDN'T HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS WHY DO THEY KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT IT GRAAAHBLGARRRGHBLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHGHGHGHBBBPGRAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH"

I found Wings of Liberty to be awfully meh. It's one of those games you play for a while, get bored and put down with the intention to continue sometime later, and never do. As such, I've zero interest in the expansions.

Diablo 3 was also a disappointment.

SPOILER ALERT Ive just got HOTS the my computer thanks to my brothers hard drive he took down.

The storyline is hypocritical when Valerian Mengsk say his fathers action are beyond redemption when the b!tch Kerrigan you know im going to kill your father OH OK MENSK ISNT SUCH A GOOD GUY BUT HOW IN THE HELL IS KERRIGAN ACTIONS REDEEMABLE I SHE HAS DONE WAAAY MORE EVIL AND BAD THEN MESNK HAS KERRIGAN S THE ONE WHO HAS NOT ONLY KILLED THE MOST CHRACTERS BUT PEOPLE IN GENERAL
Chracters that Kerrigan has killed both directly and indirectly
Aldaris-
Duke-
Fenix-
Warfeild-
Mensk-
Razagal the protoss martiach-

And why would raynor come and help Kerrigan at the end and help to kill mensk Raynor has more reason to hate Kerrigan then Mengsk when you actually think about it Mensk could of killed Raynor if he really wanted too e.g Tychus
He was the one who saved him from the swarm in the SC1 original Terran campaign
Kerrigan on the other basically spat in raynor face by turning in the queen of blades again meaning Raynors action where ALL FOR NOTHING in WOL along with tychus death.
And don't give me this Oh but they need her to fight the hybrids HOW BLOODY SHORT SIGHTED ARE THSE characters either they destroy the universe or Kerrigan does Kerrigan would probably just stab them in the back for 11th billion time they could of had the UED I would rather allied with the UED instead Kerrigan if I had no choice.
Not only that Kerrigan voice sounds so bratty and spoiled she thinks she some sort Hollywood princess or some crap like that they should of had Glyness Campell voice Kerrigan instaed of that stupid nieve b!tch Tricia Helfer.

You necroed a thread that was dead for over a month, which means that nobody cares about it. My question, therefore, is valid.

Perhaps the best funniest youtube comment ive seen in awhile it poking fun at the plotholes when it comes SC2
SC1: I'll see you dead for this Kerrigan, I'm the man who's gonna kill you someday

HoTs Vengence trailer: I never gave up on you Sarah
