I don't know what all your other stuff is about or why you're so mad.

It is a strategically interesting game. You don't think so? Fine, but that doesn't make it true nor does it diminish the strategical brilliance displayed by many pros.


That is irrelevant, I was talking about his shitty argument from popularity

When Brood War was the most popular RTS game, it wasn't good because of its popularity. Its popularity was not evidence of its quality. It was good because of its intrinsic traits.

You don't think so? Fine, but that doesn't make it true

It makes it true that it doesn't interest me. It's also true that it does interest you. That is a matter of fact.

Wait, your telling us that quality and popularity are not directly linked? Really? You going to tell us that water is wet next?


What do you expect me to do when someone implies an argument from popularity?
If someone says water isn't wet, then I'll point out that it is.

Indeed people bitch wayyy to much. Get real, how many games out there have a shelf-life like SC2? Very few, unless you count the endless CoD games that are essentially the same thing, hhehe. The game and it's expansions have been popular for 4 years. Sure, there has been a decline, but the game has a self-sustaining market in the form of tournaments, teams, salaries, etc.

We live in that "what have you done for me lately" kind of World, but the train keeps moving with or without the nay-saying.


Brood War, the battle chest is still selling to this day in stores on shelves of businesses like walmart, best buy, and target.....

So? People still buy copies of ET for the Atari 2600 too, because they are collectors. The fact that an old game is till I sale somewhere means nothing.


really bad bad comparison man... or a troll.

approximately 9 years after release:

in 1992 ET was no where... having no distribution channel of any kind... its price is still dirt cheap.

in 2007, Brood War was the 17th best selling PC Game in North America... the Battle Chest was not just for sale "somewhere", in 2007 the Brood War BattleChest was at every Business Depot, and GameStop and EB Games.

SC64 was over $100 for many years.
Not so for "ET"... its dirt cheap.

relative to playing other 1983 games by Activision, ET is horrible and has won many many awards as "worst game ever".
from 1998 to 2001 SC1 was considered a top game... and won many 'game of the year awards'.
SC1 is a timeless classic.. and it set up SC2 big time.

Brood War is a great game and its LONG TERM popularity is objective evidence of the quality experience people have playing it.

So fans of SC2 are the Bieber fans of the RTS world?

I'm not acting like an asshat, I thought it was common knowledge that writers don't get paid squat. I still think I'm missing something here though tt

Oh I think you'll find that the average post quality among writers isn't very good. I like to think that we make up for our shitposting by doing other things, though ^_^
