why isn't it? You can't expect a game to be amazing just because it has been in development for a long time, I have a deeling your expectations were too high.

Absolutely correct. I have huge expectations for the game. Is that a bad thing?

I'm disappointed because it feels too much like every other RTS ever made. SC1 was original, and there are still very few games that are like it. Apart from the name and the graphics, there is nothing that lets you know it is a Starcraft game, you'd think it was just another generic RTS.

Dood, a good terran player can have 8 reapers in your base within 5 minutes of game start. You need a pretty big/fast army to catch 8 reapers, especially when they can just as easily split in to 2 groups of 4, 4 groups of 2 or 8 groups of 1.

Many times I have won games simply by microing forward and backwards taking out 1 worker at a time, or hitting 1 shot on the enemies troopers, or 1 shot on a pylon. If you follow a reaper, you won't catch it and another reaper will get you, if you don't chase then you will be ignored.

Terran is pretty good at rush IMO, because they have a good mix of versatile and specialist troops. And they concentrate a lot on movement.
Maybe you can deal with a reaper rush, but lets see you hunt a ghost, a reaper rush, and a viking raid.

Terran is very receptive to good micro I find n_n


Zerg is epic fun, 10 hatcheries and you can pretty much fill up your supply limit within 1 spawn's time.

Protoss is classic, rush their base early with a probe, drop in a pylon. Then drop in a cannon or 2, and maybe a gateway if you are feeling like a super douche. Ah, good times XD

yep, you are correct, it will play similarily to every other RTS.

But the reason I want it (which seems to be non-existent nowadays) is the story. I want to know what will happen next.

Wow... That's a lot. What are you going to do with them all?
