EPTAlso, Great games are an accident really. Out of thousands a year only a few will get that classic title like PST/BG/BW/Quake/HL/ etc. And there will be more we just don't know of them yet, have patience.

These four however, does not give an inch to the best of the best games of the history. Do it if you are tired of the Modern Warfares and Halos, and truly want to play a modern masterpiece. Now if what you want is not a good gaming experience, but a crap covered in sweet, sweet nostalgia and nothing post-2000 will ever satisfy your unhealthy obcession for the old, then I suggest Frogs. Games from our childhood are NOT better than those coming out nowadays. When you compare BroodWar/Ocarina of time/Final Fantasy 7/other masterpieces from the past to Call of Duty/Final Fantasy 13/other crap game what you are doing is comparing the yesteryear's best to today's worst. Not a fair comparison if you ask me. Talk about living on past success. Skyrim is a UI disater. http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/EricSchwarz/20111114/8890/User_Interface_Analysis_Skyrim.php Despite all it's bugs Morrowwind was 10x better IMO. | ||

Granted, I am a true gamer at heart: I still own authentic working NES and SNES with all of the old classics. I just feel that truly great games stand the test of time. Games like Super Metroid, Baldurs Gate 2, and Brood War will always be amazing to me. But that's not to say there are no new amazing games made these days. You just have to know where to find them. Marketing dollars are thrown at you and tell you to love games like MW3, BF3, UC3 etc. But there are sleeper hits, the ones that true gamers tell you about, the ones that you will want to play 5 years from now when by comparison MW3 will look like out-dated trash. Games like Amnesia, Batman Arkham City, Dark Souls and Witcher 2 will be classics, I assure you. MW3 will be buried in the dust. | ||

Now there are indie developers that have the ideas but not the resources. Our "generation" is not dwindling, in fact I. Think our numbers are larger in absolute terms, but we are too few compared to the much larger "casual" audience which has become mainstream. | ||

They dont have the amount of humour and the quality of gameplay than the older games. There are, of course, some new games that are awesome and have nice graphics too, you can actually mix it pretty well  shame is, that most of the game-making companies rather opt for the graphics than for a good storyline and gameplay, because its easier imo | ||

The reason I am now totally it to SC BW is a few reasons, by the way may not be everyones idea which is fine, and I will remind you is in no order. A- The Brood War Scene (Generally good manner and fun people to meet I have met some really cool friends on iCcup and at Pro-league games. Also the fact that there is an amazing Pro-scene that has respectable players unlike many other games where sponsors are scarce and the fans are most likely going to move on to a different game very easily and very soon. B- Game Balance (The game has superb balance in terms of its mechanics and is taught at many game schools for it genious. The amount of graphics doesn't blanket its gameplay and there are nice counters and builds which make the game so interesting. C- Availability (The game is playable on pretty much any computer and is on pretty much any Pc Cafe in Asia. There are more reasons but I think this is a strong argument anyways. For these reason may Brood War live on! BROOD WAR FIGHTING! | ||

Was war3 a worse game then SC2? for many i bet it wasn't but people still changed, even the top pros. Why would they change when they had to learn a new game? Just for the money? I bet people wanted a new challenge, a new game with much more people. People are nostalgic, i get that, and BW really is a good game. But people also like new challenges and new "adventures". Playing a game video game for 10 years it's not like playing football(soccer for that weird part of the world) or playing basketball. It's a video game, you can play at home, you don't need anyone. It's just you and the machine so why play always the same game? Do you always see the same movie? Do you always eat the same food? Do you always sleep with the same girl(eventually you will.. but it's because she won't let you sleep with others ?So yeah BW is and always was a great game, was the most successfull e-sport ever! But it wasn't for us foreigners. Actually war3 was more important to e-sports outside of SK then BW was, atleast in europe. When i played CS in a somewhat "pro" level i eventually got tired of playing the same maps over and over again and faded. I can't imagine playing the same maps allday long for more then 10 years.. It's kinda miracle how it's still strong. CS and BW really are the best games ever in the genre, that's why they made it this far but atleast for BW i feel there is a good game to follow, maybe it's not so hard like BW is but it's harder in other aspects. CS for instance still is the reference in FPS and that won't change until there is a valid rival. My point is that the BW people should be happy the game hold on for this long, if it wasn't for SKorea where it really was important it would have faded long ago. Keep following your leagues and stop shiting on SC2 and people that enjoy a foreign competitive scene. I don't know if you noticed this but SKorean leagues don't care about you. You can't watch it live from them, you don't have any comentary. I could have been a fan but i'm stuck with GSL becase they care if i watched them. Think about it.. does BW and Kespa care about foreign fans? | ||

It's only been recently (relatively) that FFIII and FFV were actually released in America. FF7 is a great game. But it's not the de facto best game in the series. It's widely considered to be that by people that didn't play Final Fantasy until FF7, which is why I drew some parallels to BW and SC2. FF6, I believe, is all-around the best Final Fantasy game. But I understand that involves a fair bit of my own opinion so I'm not going to try to convince anyone of that fact. I'm just saying that a lot of the people that say FF7 is the best Final Fantasy say that because it was the first game they played in the series. All of that fits into what I said earlier in the thread, though... I don't disagree with FF6 being possibly the best in the series. FF6, 7 and 9 are my personal favorites, but I can't say which one is my favorite. | ||

But in truth, all foreigners were not good enough to challenge Koreans in BW so the scene outside SK died. Look at SC2 for example. Plenty of Non-Koreans are doing well enough so GOM thought that it was worth investing in Foreign scene. If SC2 had no foreign players just like BW, then I can pretty much guarantee it would have been same as BW scene | ||
