So the recent months everything has been about SC2, and I've been really bored to be honest. I massgamed SC2 the first month but got bored eventually and quit completely, only playing SSBM and HoN for a while.

Today I went on youtube to watch a few classics and I'm not gonna lie, I shed a tear and came to an realization. No game can beat SCBW, ever.

Can you really say you enjoy SC2 without lying to yourself?

Fuck this I'm going back to SCBW for real now, time to get back in shape.

You're allowed to like more than one game, you know. It's not like religion.
People need to stop being so stubborn about this.

This old game will never be forgotten, you always be in my heart SC:BW except I kinda like fucking around with this new chick of mine called SC 2.. so.. maybe, i'll mingle you a little bit.. whoa stop.. stop biting me babe, I've played you a couple of times but wow you never change, you're still the hard bitch that's so hard to woe. damn you
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Rhetorical question was rhetorical.

What's so stubborn about this?

I like sc2 more than sc1. SC1 has been beaten to death. I've seen it all in SC1. Sc2 for me is more exciting, more fun to watch, more fun to play, everything except bnet is better in sc2 IMO

People say they like SC2 only because it's new and shiny, it will never be better or more enjoyable than BW. Even after 10 years we have people like Hiya pulling shit out on free, seeing where SC2 units are going, SC2 will never get there.

how are you already going to call this a forgotten old game when the main focus of this community is STILL on BW?
a forgotten old name is like secret of monkey island or something. not starcraft,

and sc2 isn't even released yet? Sc1 is a great game, but i think sc2 has greater ambitions and capabilities,

While this is pretty subjective, and it's kinda ridiculous to tell people they don't actually enjoy sc2, I totally agree with everything else. For me at least, bw is just an all around more entertaining, dynamic game both to play and to watch.

Basically this.

The fact that I recognize that Brood War is (and may always be) better than SC2 doesn't prevent me from enjoying SC2.

After playing Starcraft for 8~ years.. I prefer Starcraft 2. Everyone has their opinion but people need to stop "expressing" their opinion by making a thread saying "NO GAME CAN BEAT BW EVER" I am amazed at how big BW got, it's not dead till it's dead. Korea is running 2 leagues 1 bw 1 Sc2.. For newer players obviously they will prefer Sc2 because of the looks, etc.
After 8 years of Starcraft 1, I think i'll go play Starcraft 2 from now on..is that okay? TT
People can play as they chose, Like BW more? go play that..

Dont be so hard on people who say they enjoy sc2 more. Most of them are people who discovered sc in 2010 and dont know much about BW yet, let alone understanding and playing it properly or were just searching an easier game. (at least most of the people i know and have seen are like that so far) imo

edit: lol post before me kind of proves my theory to be dumb already :D at least i said "most" not "all"

Agreed, while Starcraft BW will have a place in my heart, I don't really enjoy playing as a D- on iccup knowing that getting past C- is unlikly

So basically your giving up on bw because it's too hard? I don't think this should be the reason for you to switch to sc2. I mean if you're playing iccup RIGHT NOW, the season had just started and all the gosus that were A are D so it is very likely that you'll be running into a ton of good players.

Don't give up and keep practicing if u realli enjoy bw. NOt being able to get out of D- is not a good reason to switch to sc2.
We have competitive ladder, strong community, progaming in Korea going strong, perfectly balanced game..why do we need sc2? #1 ANTI-SC2 fan

I dunno. I feel like a Jew circa 60AD. Obv I've got an awesome religion with a load of depth and history and tradition but Christianity just came out and it's catching on. It doesn't have most of the stuff I love about Judaism but I am way less likely to find myself on the fringes down the line. Switch with the masses or find yourself in an isolated and dwindling group fighting Nazis.

I'm waiting till the Koreans do their magic to SC2. Then I'll switch over. Until then, yes, I've gone back to playing BroodWar and I'm loving every moment of it.

The only part I'm scared of is that there won't be any magic, but we'll see.
