It was about BW, and its place as the greatest game ever. Well, maybe not ever, but at least in comparison to MMORPGS (I can't even say that with a straight face). So I'm obviously trying to convince someone that BW takes more skill, and heres what ensued.

+ Show Spoiler +

plusguy: at the end of the day
plusguy: its just another godamn game
ss67wo: were not arguing whether its a game or not
ss67wo: were arguing whether its the BEST goddamn game
ss67wo: or not

plusguy: best game require to be good at all of the stats
plusguy: not just competetive playing
ss67wo: thats like saying, fire isn't the greatest invention
ss67wo: of mankind
ss67wo: because hell
ss67wo: we got nukes now

plusguy: its indeed the foundation for "nukes"
plusguy: at some point in time atleast
plusguy: but today its alrdy not relevant
Porkypine: fire is not relevant today?
Porkypine: lol

Porkypine:  how would you know plusguy, you're not in diamond yetttt
Porkypine: lol
plusguy: common since doesnt require league
plusguy: sense*

plusguy: i wont argue about starcraft untill im diamond, and u wont argue about mmorpg's being "worse " untill ut top 10
Loki: top 10 vs diamond looool

plusguy: well i was the first hero in l2 , top 20 for over a year in guildwars, and i had people worshipping me in Aion xD

Porkypine: IF they were good they'd be e-sports >_>
plusguy: lol what does e sport have to do with anything
plusguy: some games are more built for that type of competition some not
plusguy: these games are all NCsoft
plusguy: and have millions of players

plusguy: in korea i would be as famous as the top sc1 players if i went there
ss67wo: r.o.f.l.
Porkypine: lmao
ss67wo: i think imma save that one
ss67wo: n post it on TL

plusguy: people that earn money playing sc fine, if u wanna waste ur time playing a game that looks like some1 threw up on the screen and then rubbed it with his ass with Rrate of like 4 FPS and variety of strategies and units that i can count on 1 hand , do so


For your entertainment.

To me, I wouldn't bother arguing against someone who thinks MMORPGS are better than BW.
Something like WoW, I was having an argument with a friend and he thought that setting up a raid, and not having the other people fuck up (basically playing with baddies) is harder than SC:BW. But seriously, playing your sole character and just doing your part doesn't take much skill at all, the only major thing is to NOT tunnel vision. But even taking all these things into account, they don't make the game harder, they just make it annoying as fuck.

hehe those can be fun or frustrating. I didnt really see much points being made on either side. Some people are so fun to mess with though!

I think it's too hard to seriously name a best game(or even top 10), without disagreeing and splitting definitions. That's what happens when you sort complex things on a vague criteria. But If I was forced to answer, BW would be one of the first ones I think of as well.

...

Is that guy aka X-Men-Loki by any chance?


Also, on topic, a quote of someone at tl fits here perfectly:

How foolish, that's not how it works. You do not force Starcraft down the individual's throat.

It is Starcraft that comes to the one truly worthy, not the other way.

BW is definitely inferior to MMORPGs. MMORPGs are playable by all people and are addictive. BW is only playable by highly skilled gamers and it makes people rage and quit.

The mere fact that people would discuss what the "greatest game of all time" is on an objective basis blows my mind. Your friend is an idiot too.
