I think we all know in the depths of our hearts that SC2 is going to be great... Just not as great as we would like and expect it to be. It's not going to be SC:BW 2.0, like we all hope it to be. It's going to be SC2. We're going to have to accept it, or just stick with regular old Brood War. | ||

MBS just outlines the sad world we live in  Short Story I recently picked up RA3, not a bad game, not starcraft either of course. While reading a review (IGN) for the game, one of the things said is that the japanese team requires too much micro. And that this makes playing the japanese team not very fun. All I could think was, what is this guy smoking?, its an RTS game. However its just the state we are at in gaming. People would rather watch the battle play itself than control whats going on. Requiring skill is something games are trying to avoid these days. | ||

 )Most reviewers are just plainly clueless. I'm going to buy a Polish magazine in couple of days to see if our reviewers are equally bad as IGN or PCGamer's. T____T | ||

Nowdays i only play casually and rarely, but still the thing that had and has me coming to SC:BW all this years is the challenging gameplay that is easy to learn, hard to master! I think we all love a game where we can be challanged in every mean: strategicly, tacticly, mentally and physicly and SC:BW provides that to the fullest potential! The thing about MBS though is that I am prepared to give it a brake if things like auto-mine, multiple rally-points and smart-casting is removed! I think SC2 has enough potential to cover-up for MBS easyness as long as the previosly mentioned options I mentioned are removed! One thing is to make 1 sacrifice to make the game easier(such as MBS), but another when there are a lot options/mechanics that make the game easier(smart-cast, auto-mine, etc...)! I think the focus should be made towards reaching out to the SC2 developers to remove the other automations rather than MBS. With other automations removed and MBS in the game, the core skill celling will stay, but it will make the action faster for casual players who can now build units faster, while better players will still have an advantage through mechanics like warp-in, queens laying additional eggs for zerg and things like that! Overall though the devs will need to make a sacrifice from the easy game and remove some of the stuff, just as they made huge sacrifice by removing all of the skill celling that was in SC:BW! | ||

Because without MBS, the "mechanical" skills (speed, multitasking, "clicky macro") make the "mental" skills (tactics, ingenious micro, creativity, experience) largely obsolete. | ||
