Starcraft 2 is very complicated

I found this gem of a video that shows pretty much shows how complex and out of control Starcraft 2 really is.

http://www.cracked.com/video_18218_if-starcraft-was-even-more-complicated.html

As funny as it may be there is a sad truth to the video.

Too much work?

Here is an example that proves Starcraft 2 is as complicated as the above parody video. In order to make my tanks go into siege mode you have to do the following:

1, tab, z   : enter siege mode

1, tab, x   : exit siege mode

Why not just let me make a hotkey so I press a toggle siege mode button? ONE BUTTON. WHY DO I HAVE TO PRESS THREE KEYS JUST DO WHAT I WANT?

  1. I agree with you. I deeply regret having spent money on this. It is absolutelly impossible winning a MP game. I won't accept the fact of buying a game and then spending 6 months on the forums to be elite. This is really for "finger monkeys" that can click like animals and have 300 shortcuts and hotkeys memorized. I was hoping for something more casual, but this is deeply insane. Oh well, $60 wasted.

    Maybe that will teach you to look into something for five minutes rather than just blindly purchasing the shiny new thing on the shelf that week.
