This guy is a fucking retard who needs to understand that starcraft isnt chess, and that you dont need 200 + IQ to win.
Starcraft is the king of FAST paced RTS. It uses simplictic features like the old 90's RTS and it isnt realistic at all but this is fun because it is really hard to master, both macro and micro are really demanding and it requires speed, accuracy and multitasking.
Starcraft on normal speed mode is booooooring. I mean why you dont you hop when you play soccer ? It would slow the pace and players would have time to think about awesome strategies.
Mmm wait maybe it would be dull to watch or even to play.
This game isnt designed for Sun Tzu wannabes. It is FAST PACED. If you dont like it and suck, dont whine and go play Civilisation IV instead.
+ Show Spoiler + i like Civ too

this thread pissed me off so bad I signed up for the site and made two replies. I hate noobs so much lawl

I'm bored of those retards who compare Starcraft to Civilisation, Diablo to real RPG and so on.
People have to understand that turn-based games or slow macro RTS ( Cossack like ) have nothing to do with a game like stracraft. It is a different genre of RTS period.

stupid article from someone who doesn't understand the game one bit
|
I think he missed the part where you're supposed to think *while* doing all the micro/macro in starcraft. It's not like he'll win against pros even on normal speed (unless they fall asleep). I don't really see what point he's trying to make.
|
lol at least the sc2 article in this swedish gamer magazine said that the casual gamer should stick to normal speeds and the pros will probably prefer higher speeds
fuckin douche fag can't accept the fact that there are people that are just downright better by a loooong shot, that he lost only because he didn't have time to execute his grandmasterflash-plan.
it's the same kind of people that blame lagg, eating, girlfriend giving blowjob etc etc when they lose a game. so hard for people to accept that they are inferior to better players.
|
Wow, whoever wrote that is a goddamn pussy. Or perhaps just a casual gamer who doesnt know how to play the game.
|
Also another sad (or funny yet still sad) note is that if SC2 was released and played at the same speed as broodwar on fastest, but with this setting called normal or only fast, tons of retarded hardcore gamers would complain until they would "fix" this.
The fix would of course only consider of renaming the settings to those of broodwar and everyone would be happy, and one day someone would point out that the game did indeed not run any faster than before, and they would all laugh at those people who complained initially, completely forgetting that they themselves joined the badwagon..
Edit: oh, and the guy who wrote this article does have a point, but starcraft isn't that kind of strategy game. It's a fastpaced "resource-gathering and building-and-fighting game".

Reading this made me want to punch my monitor. Seriously, the guy is in no position to criticize the game's speed and the "speed freaks" the game created; Starcraft is a fast-paced RTS. Furthermore, there's really no time to think in times of War; you must think during it.

Oh, I really like Hearts of Iron 2. It's a slow RTS that Moltke introduced to me. Fucking time consuming slow paced thing but omg so good.

Can someone give me his mail address please? I couldn't find it and I'd like to write him an e-mail.
|
my brain started hurting after reading that  . somebody should show this man the light...

this made me burst out laughing like shit cuz i got this mental picture of him and his face (from the article title) squinting into the monitor using his left hand for nothing other than grabbing snacks and a diet coke and going "so uhhhh wtf happened to my 12 zerglings?"

I agree about finding the optimal speed/pace. The original starcraft had good pace and the same pace will probably work for sc2 aswell. Turning it slower or faster will probably make it worse.

i don't understand how newbies to the game can't comprehend a single concept
they all think that they're strategical prodigies or something, and can't face the truth that they simply suck at the game.
"oh but the only reason why he won is because he can click faster, but my thinking was lightyears ahead of him!"
ok genius, answer this: when you perform an action when you're playing, you put thought into it, right? (yes, yes you do)
then if someone is performing actions at a rate 3-4 times yours, can't you understand that they are thinking 3-4 times faster than you?

This is such a problem at lower levels. People think they should be able to win because they snuck two Tanks all the way around to flank from the high ground and then get steamrolled by 24 Dragoons. The game doesn't reward isolated tactics like that or else it would be a fucking terribly broken game.

I really don't like how Dan was a complete dick about posting the "hate mail." The mail he posted was written well (at least on forum standards) and very respectful.
