I wonder why people are still stuck in the Broodwar era. Is it because of the good old times ~10 years ago that were full of hype for the game?

What is the reason in playing an outdated game that is inferior to it's evolution? Flash, Jaedong and other popular Korean BW streames must be.. lost. Now that their pro gaming careers are over they don't know what to do, so they go back to what they know best and where they feel most comfortable.


how is BW the inferior game?

you say it with such conviction, please prove to us how its inferior, show us the light!


BW is only inferior graphically, it's 10X better designed unit interactions no doubt about that. I personally don't believe the meta had great variety like alot of SC2 people constantly whine about (waah mech and bio not equally viable/why can't I go roach/Hydra vs Terran/why do I have to open Stargate?) and the maps were always the same but the unit interaction is leagues ahead of SC2.

Of course we can. I can't edit a warning text on top of the thread and I can't properly warn people. But I can have Flash, Jaedong, and Bisu laugh at people for continuing off topic discussion!

The main topic is about Jaedong switching between two games, only in the narrowest, least interesting, most authoritarian, most autistic sense, is a discussion about said video games, Jaedongs suitability for each and why, etc, off topic. Apparently outside of non-reply's following the pattern of "Oh, Jaedong may return to Broodwar, hooray" everything is off topic. In which case, this thread should be closed and stickied, because any discussion is a discussion thats off topic.

There's a difference in discussing both of them and being a prick while being elitist about either sc2 or bw.

So condemn people for their immaturity and emotionality; not for being offtopic, and certianly, dont respond to immaturity with silly image macro's.

I wouldnt say that. I actually prefer the BW graphics. They are more colourful and atmospheric. SC2 has a kind of soulless look in my opinion. Whatever that means. (Hard to explain)

BW graphics is the best for a strategy game. You can distiguish every unit from each other and the spellcaster effects do not overlap so much that you can actually see what is going on. I dont need flashy laser beams and massive explosions that lead to confusion on whether your unit is actually dead or still fighting...

I know this is really based on each person's opinion but me too, among blizzard games, I really really love the starcraft 1 and diablo 1 art direction. Everything feels so dark, atmospheric, raw, creepy, colorful, easy to distinguish and very interesting. Starting with wc3, it's been more cartoonish, and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing since cartoonish graphics can be easier to follow than realistic ones. I feel like sc2 is cartoonish and shiny, I don't mind the cartoonish part but I really dislike the shiny feeling, but it's just graphics, I mean, it doesn't make or break the game but I would say that it certainly helps make it less memorable in my opinion.

Is it not directly related?

Then, maybe you mean the "quality" of graphics, like 3D vs 2D, high resolution textures, etc...?

The art style of brood war is MILES better than that of Sc2. It isn't even up for discussion in my opinion. If brood war would get high definition sprites, I think I'd ascend into ecstasy.

This SC2 vs BW argument is getting really old.

First, you couldn't have had SC2 without Brood War. SC2 was created thanks to Brood War's success.

Second, both games are strategical but offer different challenges sometimes. SC2 made some things easier than Brood War's ones such as mechanics, but it also made outmacroing your opponent harder, for example. Different tools for different jobs, really.

Finally, to each his own. There are people who like SC2 and people who like BW. Let's play what we find fun. I play SC2, but I played BW before that. Both are fun in their own way.

It's like sports really. Some people prefer football, others prefer basketball, etc.

I dont think theres much difference in the casual level, but in hardcore or progaming/esports BW gives a higher quality of competitive play.
