StarCraft 2 Poll Results - a Vote of Confidence

Time has come to conclude another SC2Blog Poll. Just like the previous poll, concerning StarCraft 2 fees, this one ran for enough time to reach a large audience and has stayed up through multiple important announcements over several months - the WWI event, the Zerg unveiling, and numerous build changes.

 2746 unique votes have been cast, which constitute more than enough for a significant statistical representation of SC2Blog readers. Keep in mind, however, that the average SC2Blog reader is not the average Blizzard gamer - our audience is composed of the sort of people who follow news about Blizzard games in the pre-beta stage.

StarCraft 2 Poll Results

The results are in, and we are delighted to report that only a mere 12% are disappointed with what they’ve seen so far. The most popular choice was actually “Better than I could ever Imagine“, which hopefully makes a few Blizzard employees happy in their pants.
For most readers, the impressions of StarCraft 2 can only truly be judged against two reference points, and both are Blizzard games - the masterpiece predecessor, and the Micro-oriented WarCraft 3. Despite the fact that StarCraft 2 is heavily influenced by multiple successful titles, the games Blizzard create tend to reside in a league of their own, each serving as the gold standard of its genre.

    Cool.

    Does this mean the sc2blog might have an inside hint on a very soon beta release? :D

    Your poll is invalid. The poll has been open for what, a year? During this last year, my attitude toward SC2 has changed, but since I can only vote once, and I voted a year ago, your poll has an outdated vote. I’ll bet almost all of the people who participated in this poll has changed their attitude of the game also.

    Ok then let’s make a poll to see how many percents of people have changed attitude toward SC2 :D Mine hasn’t changed.

  5. SikTh — July 14, 2008 @ 12:07 am

    Despite my vote hasn’t changed, i agree with ‘Anonymous’. but let’s move on. where is the next poll?

  8. SteelVelocity — July 14, 2008 @ 9:19 am

    Oh, whoops! Anonymous is me, Steel. Damn this old computer. They should make a new poll, perhaps about… I don’t know. We pretty much know everything about the game except the single-player campaign.

    What about the beta?

  9. Kane — July 14, 2008 @ 11:24 am

    Do you want a beta?

    [ ] Yes

    This diablo 3 blog (http://diablo3blog.blogspot.com/) has a poll asking visitors to indicate which class they would like to see most.

    Perhaps the next sc2blog poll should be a taste-based poll, asking which unit/feature/race/ has been a favorite to give blizzard designers an idea of what their consumers will enjoy playing with the most.

  11. mmoossen — July 15, 2008 @ 3:44 am

    or when do we expect the release…
    what ever, but i want a new poll now ;)
    and i hope the next poll will not be online more than 2 months, to have some statically meaning…

    Everyone knows that Blizzard employees don’t wear pants.

  13. meo123 — July 15, 2008 @ 7:17 pm

    Err, I didn’t know that.

  14. Nikasi — July 16, 2008 @ 9:03 am

    …when they are on the toilet and in beds (doesnt matter strange one or the one at home,) that I know for sure. But at work hmmmmm. Maybe, if they have bed in the office.

    K, so I don’t really appreciate the porn pop-ups that emanate from this site.

  16. Anderson Mccutcheon — July 16, 2008 @ 2:42 pm

    Hello Atican.
    SC2Blog does not participate in any adult advertising programs, and all our ads comply with Blizzard’s Fan Site guidelines.

    I will investigate the complaint, as we certainly don’t appreciate such ads either.

    Cheers
    Anderson
