Will SC2 detract from BW's popularity? Of course. Will it be the same calibur of game? Probably not.

But I'm willing to give it a chance- a REAL chance. I'll certianly buy the game a play a lot of it before I write it off.

The only sensible thing is to wait and try the game to see how good it really is. Otherwise it's like a kid who judges food only by how it looks, instead of how it tastes.

You completely missed the point.

Saying its slow has absolutely no meaning right now. Strong players from other games played Starcraft/Brood War when it was still in its beta stages as well. Watching games from that era, the gameplay is slow. Obviously, modern Brood War is not slow.

Even for players that have experience with other games, it takes time to build up the familiarity and aptitude necessary to play at a good pace.

This is why I like Nony.. he isnt another one of the "OMG my 10 years of training down the toilet, I cant learn a new game now!!"

SC2 will be a bigger pro scene than BW.. anyone who thinks SC2 sucks, is just afraid of having to relearn all their builds. The game is looking amazing so far, regardless of "lesser skill" which is a retarded argument all in itself.

I guess I'm going to try SC2 out but I don't know if I'll actually play it, not sure I like what I've seen so far and things like automine, MBS and unlimited unit selection could make it pretty lame -_-

I played and enjoyed WC3 for a long time before I started loathing it, and that's the least I expect of SC2. If SC2 doesn't live up to my expectations, I just do as I did with WC3, uninstall it and go back to Broodwar.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

I agree SC2 is not gonna live up to its hype

I hate the auto macro mining thing and secondly, I also don't appreciate what it will do to the current broodwar pro scene

Just because something is newer does not always mean its better. People need to realize sometimes old games > new games.

Honestally Starcraft 2 has just been such a long wait for me, the disappointment is already here.

Never looking back once SC2 comes out....unless it is to take a walk down memory lane. Good bye 12 unit max and retarded goons!

I have too, a lot (+100 games) and I think it's not very much slower, a small bit maybe, but not very much more. Just do something about automine damnit

I think savior actually said in an interview about it that the game's pace seemed a bit faster than BW.

In any case, I'm not very excited about it either.

However, whatever game I stick with will depend on the Korean pro scene. The existence and success of that is what's keeping me playing BW. If they do a full switch, unless SC2 is horrible, I will probably play SC2 a lot more than BW.

But yeah...I'm very afraid of how SC2 will end up. The only thing I hope for is that it is as mechanically oriented as BW, and that its macro/micro balance is similar to BW as well. Aside from that, as long as the game itself is balanced, I don't mind so much.

I personal think its for 7-13 year old gamer kids because of the mother ship and graphics. Throw one AMAZING unit (Mothership(sarcasim)) and you have so many 12 year old its not funny. Graphics are taking over game play, witch REALLY sucks. Does anyone else think this is somewhat like CnC? Well, thats because 95% of the original people are gone and the CnC LEAD DESIGNER got the job.
No no no no its not mine!

I will definitely be playing it, it is after all the sequel to BW, and given the amount of work blizzard is putting into this I suppose it's worth it. But indeed, things like lings autosurrounding, workers autosplitting (i think I read about this somewhere) will definitely make the game less fun.

And speaking of sc2 UMS, I get the feeling that there will be a SC2 version of dota. And then people will get sc2 only to play dota, just like what happened with wc3. Man, I'd hate it if that happened.
