What matters more, a valid strategy or insane clicking and button pressing skills? APM's or Actions Per Minute, are seen as so important in StarCraft 2 that the replays actually offer an APM meter. It makes sense since this isn't a turn based game getting more done every minute seems like an obvious way to win. However it is not the be all end all of the game.
Microsoft has 'let Blizzard be Blizzard' following the acquisition of the veteran developer according to World of Warcraft's executive producer.
Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.
Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...
Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Blizzard and NetEase have announced that Blizzard's games will return to mainland China under a new publishing agreement.
APM in StarCraft is the whole game unfortunately from what I get. Anyone actually playing the beta and get a different idea?
I wasn't in the beta but I know some friends of mine who had early access, he wasn't so concerned about APMs, this guy tends to be over dramatic most of the time.
In my opinion, taking a game too seriously ruins all the fun - that's why I'll only be gaming with my brother in-law.
A balance, you can have a million actions per minute but if your strategy is crap you're not going to suck, and you can have a brilliant strategy but if you can't execute it fast enough you're going to suck as well.
Is Starcraft II not really for someone who just wants to play casually online? I know there is a whole industry based around it with professionals and all, but can you set yourself to like a casual non ranked mode? Or is everyone I play against going to be extremely serious and running the same "optimized" build order?
