All right for those 3 that wouldn't surprise me at all. I guess I forgot Nathanias/JimRising got into it, I would have known they'd do that before hand. I watched TLO/Ret/Drogo and none of them shit on it. Most of them won't, but the people you listed don't surprise me at all.

He has said before that he doesn't enjoy the mechanical aspects of Starcraft as much, and he's rumored to be working on a mod that fits that vision.

Yea but the Courage tournament was the biggest tournament in those days, no foreigners made it as far as NonY, that is a huge feat that should be rewarded fo sho.

Whoever Giyoms opponent was and he is literally sitting there not even moving his mouse watching the eggs lol. 120 apm back in those times was fairly high id say

I doesn't surprise me if Total BS and Nathanias are trashing the game, I mean we know them... On the other hand I don't know if Day9 got access but I would have given him access instead of those two.

Beta Brood War? hahaha go back to 98?

Well,both Nathanias and TB have business interest in SC2 so their opinion is not surprising. Also it's not surprising that they got keys, because they are considered "friends and family" at this point. I still wonder how winter got in, but whatever...
Will there be Open Beta for us - the mortal plebs ?

What's the point? The game will be out in just about two weeks. They're probably not even testing that much, just getting some hype going here.

Not having played or watched much of BW lately, I could easily have been fooled that this is the original game. I guess that is what the hardcore base wants, though...

so i didn't follow, why TLO is saying that the remastered is not good?
|
Whats the reason for giving some clueless sc2 streamers beta access and not those who played the game everyday. Is this really a beta where they want feedback or is it a marketing thing

This "beta" is likely just something to build up hype while they send out more invites and stress test server a bit. Nothing major would be changed. Typical practice in gaming industry these days and nothing wrong about it.

He isn't. He enjoys it a lot. He might have said that lots of people will be disenchanted when they play it themselves because the game is hard and cheese is way harder to defend than in SC2, but that's not saying SC:R isn't good.

Watched the Launch stream and quite a bit of ret's stream. Looks pretty amazing to me. Especially the zoom-out function for the observers.
I am looking forward to the game - even though I am pretty bad at BW
