It has been claimed that Go is the most complex game in the world due to its vast number of variations in individual games. Sounds like a badass game.

But it's really not very much like chess. It's like blindfolded chess where the blindfold sometimes comes off except that there's no turns and you can move stuff as fast as you can physically do it. It's like Starcraft, that's basically it. If you were going to choose non-video games it's like, the most apt description would be Poker + Chess + some sort of game where you draw with one hand and play piano with the other. That's a good point. If we're talking about which one is more similar in terms of strategy, it is definitely more like Chess in the sense that there are only a few number of optimal openings/build orders. Go is really opened ended it seems compared to Chess and SC (in terms of strategy). I never really knew anything about Go before I searched it. Are there like bonjwas in Go (a consistent top player that dominate everything for a certain period of time)? Also apparently Koreans own at Go as much as SC? Edit - Also I found this page which answered my question. | ||

Poker, because you dont really know what your opponent has, you can just guess or make educated guesses and speed tetris because of the mechanical aspect. | ||

is Sc2 more like cooking Milk on the stove - takes at least 5 minutes to get somewhat interesting, and can overflow at any time or Using a hairdryer in a bathtub - Constant suspense from the beginning - you never know who is going to win untill the end Personally i would akin sc2 to a box of chocolates, as you never know which one your going to get. | ||

SC2 is like a video game. That's all. You guys need to stop trying to legitimize your hobby by appealing to the status of other hobbies. | ||
