[quote name='icebeast']Well to be fair I'm sure there are some pro players who might just blow through the campaign without ever losing; so it is possible that a normal human being would actually take longer, and someone like me would only stand a chance with cheats... also if they have difficulties maybe they played it on easy.[/QUOTE]
I doubt most pros touch the campaign =p
In all seriousness though, Starcraft is fundamentally a cookie-cutter RTS, and SC2 has been made to be even more accessible. You mine minerals and build units that look cool. All the deep strategies, micro, macro, and mind games are for competitive players to worry about.
Just play campaign and whatever custom game under the sun those people create.
[quote name='distgfx']Seems starcraft 2 isn't as popular in here as I thought it would be. I figured it would be like FFXIII where everybody was going ape shit.[/QUOTE]
I drove from Chicago to California just to get a beta key and shake the hands of some pro players at Blizzcon. Played the hell out of the beta and was ultimately let down.
Still a fine game in every aspect, but I think it's missing some of the magic that probably would of caused world peace by now at its release.
