Theyre making 3 games out of what should of been one. I'm not paying for that!

After what they did to StarCraft's lore and world in SC2 (and most of the books) - retcons, etc, SC3 better not happen unless Metzen is fired and/or Blizzard hires competent writers (yeah, right). Their last decent game was Warcraft 3 TFT.

I didn't bought/play anything blizard related since W3TFT:
-never liked sc anyway;
-didn't even tried d3 when a superb free alternative exists: Path of Exile;
-mmo? get out of here ;) wouldn't touch it for anything in the world.

A W4 classic RTS game would tickle my interest but not with online only crap and no-LAN possibility.

I guess will see ...

WC3 actually had a really good campaign though, WC2's campaign was pretty generic

I personally think they have milked dry the cow of plot, so I can't possibly imagine what the plot will be for a new Warcraft.
On the other hand, online gaming (especially arenas) can go on with a minimal plot (or even without plot)........

hard for WC4 not to be a steaming pile of shit after all the retcons in WoW.

It was mainly the shift from "adventurers finding adventure" to "You are the chosen one, only you can save the day!". You stopped being a human, that lucked out against the odds and did the impossible in defeating forces far greater than you. In D3 you are a supreme being, more than human, destined to be the strongest being in the world.
They went from a gritty sword and sorcery setting to a high fantasy power wish fulfillment.

Well, being the Chosen One isn't always all it's cracked up to be...

I know, Blizzard prices for old games are way too high, although their prices for newer ones are about right (£16.99 GBP for Sc2 WoL and the same for HotS. However, unfortunately, their prices for older games are worse (£14 for a 15 year old game, Diablo 2 + Reaper of souls which of course you have to buy separately so Blizzard gets as much of your money as possible, only exception is Starcraft + Expansion together for £10 which is still too high considering the game is 17 years old.) and sales are rare and when they do happen, the discount is max 50%, so they aren't havily discounted either.

I confess that I disagree. The level design in WC3 was horrible. It wasn't a matter of strategy, but of having foreknowledge of the future. The scripted events in the campaign missions in many cases required you to react to them before they happened in order to win the mission. As such, you had to play the same mission over and over again to learn what happened where at what time. In an RTS, that is piss-poor level design in my book.

For example the Battle at Mount Hyjal. I thought you could actually destroy the undead base. But nope it is scripted that the Orc and Human base must be destroyed.

But still what really carried the campaign was the story and presentation. Remember that this game was going to be a RPG (the hero system) and than later add RTS elements like Base Building.

Also Warcraft 2 is hard as balls especially the expansion.

Not true actually, I managed to beat that level with the Orc base intact. That was on normal though.

Let's face it: you will have to pay for each faction campaign and you will have to wait for 2 years between each one.

And maybe with HeartStone-like microtransactions.


Sometimes, I wonder why C&C4 was so critisized when I see how SC2 was acclaimed.

And its cinematics looks like something out of the Beast Wars cartoon:
