It could look better, but I'm surprised how well that works Diazo.

I had mixed feelings about them removing the inject larva from the campaign. Their reasoning was that they wanted macro not to be the focus in the campaign game, but it essentially teaches players bad habits if they later want to get into multiplayer.
Who cares?

It's not like they'll be on your team like in DotA...

I think you are misunderstanding what I meant.

What does it matter if it readies them for Ranked?  If they don't inject larva, they'll simply be placed with other players who also don't inject larva.  I see no negative drawback by removing that from the campaign.  It's only in the game to begin with, literally, to make the game more micro-intensive for the Zerg.  The developers felt that, compared to the other races, Zerg wasn't clicking enough.

Space Rangers HD: Revolution
Thank you.  If I see it come out in English, auto-buy.  Even if it's just a new story line with everything else the same.

It's getting released 15th march on steam.
This could be perilous for my current project's timeline.
Hurray time line is saved. The game is out but I get "not available in your region". It's probably only for russians http://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/

Pretty much sums up why I never bought Star Craft 2. ^^ Just watching a let's play of the campaign is going to be well enough.

Argh.

Do you know if the game itself is in russian?  Or is there an english version.

Region restrictions or no, I figure I can find a legitimate way of getting a copy.  But I wouldn't wade through something other than english.

... Yea, I think it's a good thing I never got that game :)

Not saying that makes it bad, but if the developer mindset _ever_ results in "let's make a change solely so players in situation XYZ have to click the mouse more", then I'm out.

They made a design choice that there should be "macro mechanics" which are basically these arbitrarily added chores that you have to do for your production to perform at maximum capacity. I guess if you wanted to add such a thing to AI War you might remove the auto-reactor management stuff, remove the circular queues, limit the queues more, then make production costs subtracted upfront. Doing these things quickly and accurately while dealing with other pressures would become an important part of playing the game well. I think the comparison to Diner Dash is good, and it's unfair to characterise it as "solely to make players have to click the mouse more." It's about having that element of managing all these different things under intense time pressure.

All I mean is... it's not quite as dumb as it seems. :) It's not entirely to my taste either as I'd rather see that focus applied to managing the battles and such, but there it is. It has, you know, its own unique and beautiful place in the tapestry of the universe.

I think you are misunderstanding what I meant.

The thing is, the campaign is not there to prepare you for multiplayer. That's what the training mode and vs. AI are for. In the campaign, there are already all sorts of army units and heroes that you will never see in multiplayer. The fact that Kerrigan is a major part of your army in most missions already sets the campaign far apart from multiplayer.

Even in WoL, the campaign has all sorts of differences. You don't get Orbital Command until later on, and there are tons of unique units. Going solely off the campaign, a newbie would go into a barracks and wonder why he couldn't build firebats or medics.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Looks like it's not localized (yet?) This http://store.steampowered.com/app/214730/?cc=ru gives me Notice: This title only includes Russian language.

Gotcha, makes sense.  Well, they'd better step on it! ;)

I must say it DOES have a language selection control (on the screenshot at the very top) but it's a bit.... one-sided.

Awesome, yea, it's showing up now :)  Would insta-buy, but then I'd probably be overly tempted to insta-play, and I probably won't have time for the kind of play SR motivates until holiday vacation.  Ah well, glad to know it's ready when I am :)
