I just... don't see the point...

After version 1.09 they have progressively gotten less interesting, or more specifically they aren't compatible with Zy-El and other great mods.

To note recently I got D2 to work just fine on my computer using an old no-cd crack after installing everything. Works great...

Elmofongo: You can still play the Campaign of Starcraft 2 offline.

vv221: True, but you can’t even play a simple skirmish offline! Or play with friends through LAN!
And what I’ve tried of the campaign thus far (a couple missions from the base game and each expansion) is not even that compelling…

No way, I’m sticking to my good old StarCraft + Brood War.
Old Starcraft has TERRIBLE AI Pathfinding. I can't move units for shit in that 1st game. And controlling 12 units at once is just increadibly restricting.

Besides you can just get the Remake mod of Starcraft 1 just using the Starter Edition of the 2nd game alone.

Elmofongo: (…)
Hey, I’m not pretending the original StarCraft doesn’t have its own flaws ;)
But unlike the ones of SC2, these of the original I can live with (I like micromanagement anyway).

I don’t know a lot about this Starter Edition, can I install and run it on a totally offline system (so without the Battle.net client)?
Bad news, dammit! I was as addicted as fuck to this game back in the day. The last thing I need is Blizzard making the accursed thing immortal.
this series died for me about 15 years ago, never looked back.
and about 5 years ago I discovered Path of Exile, a much better and superior game. Will never look back at blisard and their atrocious overpriced drmed games
Nice to see a classic game get some love. I won't be playing it however. Don't want to become addicted again. >_<

I feel the samething when it comes to only controlling 20 units in Medieval 2 Total War.

I wanna command an Army larger than 3000.

Accursed thing IS immortal! Hell, i even see people online in Diablo 1 itself! Look at the bright side, though, better for 2 Lod to be immortal, rather than 3.

3 was a major clusterfu*K, let alone letdown!

Apparently a new patch for Warcraft 3 is also coming very soon.

What I wouldn't give for a Warcraft 3 remake in Starcraft 2-like graphics.
cool
Well, it's lovely and all, except when you think about Diablo III and the "online-only" mess they created that will likely not work 15 years from now.

Why someone would think about a thing or a concept, that DOESN'T exist? Old school diablo fans never heard of Diablo 3. Diablo 3 from Blizzard North got cancelled, before the group disbanded and Blizzard created all this mess, that diablo wannabe title you seem to be referring to!

I spent an obscene amount of money for purchasing Diablo III's collectors edition. Twice (the expansion too). Now I feel ashamed of talking about Diablo again...
