aaw, i just get so sick and tired of all this sc2 hype, because that's just what it is! hype that it take's and gains from the best RTS game ever made and it realy hurts the sc1 fan-base and comunity.
i feel kinda depressed days like this one when i go here and see that there are 11 streems and all of them are streeming sc2. i came here for the love i have for starcraft 1 and that's the reason why im here 2 years later (after playing the game since the demo on "PC for all" (swedish gaming magazine) inn 99 or 2000. ive playd the game for 10+? years and never ever tried to improve, just been playing for the lulz and its still the most fun game i have ever play'd.
starcraft 2 is fun and simple! its a great game witch will have probably the best single player ever made in a RTS game but in this stage its just not fun enoughf from a spectator view. i've playd the game now for 2 weeks and i just feel like i wanna go back to playing starcraft bw more and more! (witch i am doing mostly nowdays)
so please tell me what you think of starcraft 2 and if its here to stay (and by stay, do you honestly think that it in its current state will be as competative as BW is in 11 years from now)

I'v played the beta since it came out and stopped about a week ago.. bored of it. I just can't seem to get myself to play it anymore.
That said, I think it's an awesome game, very fun, very nice looking, and pretty well balanced already.
But there is just something about broodwars that draws me back, can't really put my finger on it..
I don't see it being as competitive as BW in 10 years.
|
Of course in its current state it won't be as competitive...but give it 11 years and who knows, maybe it will be. Everyone is excited, and rightfully so because the beta is only a month old. BW is still the great game we all fell in love with, no worries.
|
imo the only thing that really kept bw alive was the UMS and mapmaking community. the proscene is great, but in its absence, we rely on the creativity of others to keep a game from getting stale.
im not too worried about sc1 or sc2 jocking for position as the number one starcraft game, rather im hoping that sc2 UMS will provide me as much entertainment and variety that sc1 had
|
I'm with you as far as watching bw compared to sc2. For me, it isn't the graphics or anything, just that the level of play obviously isn't anywhere near what bw is, and there isn't anything that makes me go "wow" about high level play yet. Luckily for us, there's still pro bw on 5 nights a week.

I think people should just stop jumping on and off the bandwagons. Its been clearly stated that SC2 and SCBW are very diffirent games. And as the post above mine by Alphonsse states, the level of play is very poor compared to over a decade of BW. So people need to just relax and stop jumping to conclusions this early in the release.

its not that i want sc1 to have the nr1 spot of RTS gaming that the game have had for the past 11 years but its just that i feel that its a bit to hasty for all of the major foreign starcraft one teams and players to leave the game and go play sc2, because as it is right now, sc1 is the better game and i feel that it should be treated as it in the forums and so on, once starcraft 2 take's over that place i feel that teamliquid and all the other starcraft site's can spend this much effort about the news in sc2 and so on, its just that i feel that starcraft 2 gets to much credit for beeing a starcraft game,
lets just imagine that this wasent a blizz game and that the title was a bit diffrent, and the units had diffrent names, ofc some people whould say that its a great game (because it is) and they whould give it good rewievs. and some whould say that its a game that reminds them about starcraft bw, but i can promise you that there whould be no way near as many people running to that game to play and improve at it as it is right now.
so what im trying to say is that playing sc2 is good and fun in every way but stay by starcraf bw for now, because the game that you are playing now will change soo much untill the actuall game is released so what you are training for right now is almost in vain, because one small patch might change what ur doing right now to becomming compleatly impossible. so please play sc2 for fun, because that's what it is!! a fun game..

Starcraft 2 is a witch, we should burn it.
I think its too early to say if SC2 will "be here to stay". I mean, look how long it took for BW to get to the level required for good competitive play.

my point compleatly, when you just want a fun time for yourself or with some friends, please play sc2 and so on, but i dont see that every small thing that happens in sc2 should be new's here on TL a starcraft comunity (not to bash on TL or anything cuz i love this site and i go here probably 4-6 times a day but it feels like they are putting to much effort into starcraft 2 that the game not deserve at this point because its just a beta game and its to early to say what's news and what's not news  ) please keep making sc bw news and please people. keep streeming scbw ^^ right now i just wanna go to bed and i cant find one good streemer that's streeming scbw ^^

sc2 is freaking awesome but it can never replace broodwar...

I was going to post something to this extent. I feel Starcraft 2 has so much potential for an amazing "metagame" to evolve from. One of the problems I see coming out of the game is that there are too many tactics to abuse that the game is over complicating itself.
|
sc2 is too much about having the perfect unit composition and it'll win you the game, this makes me a sad panda.
|
Emil don't worry, I'll always be there to play BW with you =P
|
Yeah i've started to notice a fair amount of people already quitting SC2 Beta.....brings me joy lol, but still I have hopes that Blizzard will make it good enough to outshine broodwar in terms of competitiveness.
|
one time i watched a sc2 stream it was like a cpu battle rofl, it's just boring to watch in such an undeveloped state, i rather watch old bw vods all over again then 2 "good" bw players playing sc2 low level games

That's what i was hoping after the first week of playing the beta, but now im starting to feel doubt that its possible, because the more i watch starcraft 2 after i've been playing it myself the less i wanna obs and play it myself. it feels like a movie, its fun and all the first times you do it, but it doesent give you that motivater to improve and to play more that BW obviously got ^^

There will always be a community/competitive play for scbw regardless. The game is just that good, it won't go under due to some retarded modern 3d rts.
Alright to be fair sc2 is an excellent game, just not comparable to sc.

Well people might turn to sc2 right now, but whether they'll stay is a whole different matter really.
|
if in 2010, Warcraft2 still has a decent community with 30+ pages discussions on their forums, 15+ years after its release, then SC:BW's community will always be pretty fucking big. at least big enough to always find people to play and to host tournaments here and there.
that being said; i really hope SC2 isnt, or doesnt become, some "retarded modern 3d rts". i cant really tell what its worth from watching the streams (or streems, in Sweden). but obviously i have my concerns.
|
been playing beta since second week.
i find myself wanting to go play BW all the time. it is such a better game overall. you have so much more control and responsibilty. sc2 is very fun... very fun but its in beta stages... only time will tell. dont worry, there will come a time when sc2 is no longer played and BW returns.
