Great read, I read it from start to finish, especially love the part about Starcraft 2 being a deceptive game, the way I have felt about the game for a long time and you found the perfect way to explain it.

Great post haha

My only disagreement is that you can't group all the "SC2 haters" together.

In fact, not liking SC2 not because of the new UI (but because of the game itself: units for example) and having not played Dune 2, I'd be very happy if BW had the same SC2 UI just like you and Dune 2.
Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

Dune 2 was a great game. BTW, there was a way to have palace weapons as the Atreides. You needed to capture a Harkonnen construction yard, I think. Either that or the palace itself. Building capture was relegated to engineers in the succeeding Westwood games (currently EA).

My Little Busters! review was over twice as long word-count wise, but it was partitioned into spoilers.
Scratch that it's only half as long =O

OP w/e you're playing, enjoy.

Fantastic post. I just finished reading Dune, so it was funny see various names of vehicles and Great Houses from the book being mentioned.

I have heard things about Dune 2 and how it was the revolutionary ancestor of all modern RTS games. I never suspected how deep the game could actually be. I saw a couple of vods of a game once, and it was pretty crazy.

It's stellar writing, and it's thought out very well. If anything, it should be spotlighted to counteract how people on this forum often make less well-written and thought-out posts.

It''s actually an article in 7000 words that communicates how subjectively awesome playing SC2 is. Good stuff. Thx for a true OP.

Starcraft 2 seems easy, but is actually really hard. This x1000. When you see people in the pool swimming, you notice how effortless it is when they swim. However, when you try to go in the pool, you struggle to stay afloat. Best players make it look easy, even though it's extremely hard.

Great read indeed!
You are a genius and a noob, a rare and very important kind!

PS: Dune II was all about the starport.
