BW fans are depressed because SC2 is a huge disappointment.

I don't think its fair (or reasonable) to compare SC2 in it's current state, to BW.
Everyone is still learning, and still has alot to learn, in SC2. So of course if you're coming from a game where "nearly everything is figured out" it's going to seem awkward & messy (and disappointing?)

Basically this. Like if you seriously think BW fans were just attached and hated sc2 from the announcement you are assuming way too much. I would actually even bet the other way (and i know it was this way for the few ppl i knew), everyone who was in BW still was epically looking forward to sc2. It dropped, they didn't think it lived up to the first one, disappointment, and now we are here. Either way i just think of them as two different rts games. I dont get the big deal to prove one is better than the other, or everyone should go to this one cuz its newer and all that crap. Play what you enjoy, thats what i do ^__^
Things might change down the line when the game gets more figured out, patched, and new units get put in. For better or worse who knows. Hopefully better. Better is always better :D, it might bring in some BW peeps
|
I wouldn't call the current sc2 competition a farce, as I feel that nowadays, the progamers are taking it very seriously and getting very good at the game. 8 months ago? Yeah, it was pretty stupid, but nowadays, people are playing on a decent level.
However, BW A teamers will completely dominate if they switch.

This is so true, theres just so many more things you can do in brood war than starcraft 2 to be the better player. I mean just look at any late game engagement in pvt and compare them with brood war and sc2.

it's "frivolous and trivial" if you're informed, and "sc2-bashing" if you're not. Perhaps it's frivolous and trivial due to the fact that what you presented is largely impenetrable to cogent criticism. It's a fun read, but there is no possible way to constructively debate any points given the fact that not a single top BW player is currently competing in SC2 (I'm talking Flash, not fOrGG)
Besides, that elephant in the room definitely wasn't that people thought the current pros were better than Flash, or even that they wouldn't get dominated by Flash.
To quote the TLDR (as I see it):
"I am saying that there are 300 current pros and semi-pros that have the potential to come in and dominate SC2 at any moment, with a latency of a few months from the day they switch. Among this group there are a notable few that CRUSH any other players in terms of raw talent and/or work ethic and/or ability to learn. This knowledge cheapens any form of competition I see right now, no matter how much I try to enjoy the games."
Now, you can quibble about whether forgg is dominating right now. I don't think getting to Code S and only losing to Leenock and MC in two Bo3s is bad at all, but when you say that there's 300 people who would come in and dominate SC2 at any moment, you would expect a bit better than Code S R32 and falling back down to Code A right away.
If you asked most SC2 fans back in May 2011 if they thought a player of Flash's or Jaedong's caliber would dominate SC2 and crush the competition, I don't think you'd have got that much controversy. It's that intrigue said 300 BW pros and semi-pros could come over and dominate and show SC2 to be a farce.
That didn't happen, so far at least. The sample size is still pretty small.

you mean be the better gamer as in "oh I can control my units with shit pathing better than you? guess I win herp derp" Also, the games been out for like 10 years. Think about how much the strategy changed over that time and then think about how long SC2 has been out.

It never ceases to amaze me how people claim absolute knowledge of the game when absolutely none of the real pros do.

I, for one, have grown so tired of hearing about the "good old days" of Brood War that I cannot watch the Day9 Daily, I mute the commentary of the GSL, and I find it difficult to watch State of the Game.
Why would the occasional nostalgia for a game they enjoyed and spent years playing upset you so much? It's not like they ever bash sc2 or ever directly say bw is better. I don't think gsl commentary hardly ever brings up broodwar except to maybe say a strategy is similar to something in bw or talk about a players past in bw and those seam reasonable things to bring up. Is it really that big of a problem you'd mute the whole thing just for that?
Man it's like your first civilization game being number 5 and getting upset because someone on the internet mentioned the "good old days" of civ 4 as an attack on your game as not worth enjoying or something. Its just an opinion on the subjective quality of different video games not everyone is going to agree with you on it.
Their are plenty of video game series where fans argue about and rank which ones are better then others and why, even when all the games are very very good! Maybe someday you can tell sc3 fans why the good old days of sc2:heart of the swarm was the best starcraft version ever(because blizz messed everything up in legacy in the void) it's just part of the fun of being a fan don't get so upset you deny yourself awesome content you otherwise would enjoy.

This is why you don't post so definitively on the internet about things you aren't knowledgeable about.
So many people were posting about ForGG guaranteed sweeping his group, as a result of his BW status. Come on, guys, keep your egos in check. You didn't know that was going to happen and it didn't happen. Quit trying. I'm not bashing the writer of the OP, just referring to the people in this thread who were convinced that forGG was going to be going through code S like a meat grinder.

no substance, this is a clear troll. but when one argues for bw TL mods seems to ban sparingly.
This doesnt mean anything - it's a great quote because it actually doesnt mean anything and people will intepret that as "bw players doesnt have a edge over anyone else!" while it only means that the potential of a human beeing doesnt care what game you play. I.e we're all humans and can do similar things. It completely forgoes the fact that those who played BW before have reached a higher level than those that didnt because of extremly good workethics which is why they _have_ an edge.
I agree with you, and Mr. Chae stated just about what you are saying right after the quote that BW pros have the edge in their work ethics compared to sc2 pros.

I got tired of all the SC2-bashing at b.net forums, so they said, come over here. Look! There's more!
Does anyone actually like this game, or what?
|
I always thought this article would've had a point if SC2 and BW were the same exact game.
Too bad they aren't.

Why was this awful thread bumped?

W/e, im still looking forward to more BW pros switching over.
The assumption that they will instantly win everything is slowly being debunked but then everyone will always say that "oh he wasn't good anyways" whenever someone does anything less than complete domination.

So when forgg got 0-2 today, somebody bumped it

The ignorance as well as the lack of maturity displayed in this thread are simply astonishing, and saddening.
There are a lot of overrated and overhyped players, and ForGG happens to be one of them. Yet, as soon as he loses a couple of games, people come here to shit on a editorial that was written 8 months ago. These people must have very sad life indeed.

I apologize for any disrespect shown in the responses of the Starcraft 2 fans, and I assure you it is fleeting. We just sometimes need to let off some steam after all the tension that is built up from these occasions. So please, try not to be offended by our cries of passion and more than that, try not to trivialize them. Good post but save your angst. BW fans are depressed they are attached to a diminishing game and need to lash out to feel better about themselves. Let them have their catharsis if it makes them feel any better. BW fans are depressed because SC2 is a huge disappointment. no substance, this is a clear troll. but when one argues for bw TL mods seems to ban sparingly. Show nested quote +This doesnt mean anything - it's a great quote because it actually doesnt mean anything and people will intepret that as "bw players doesnt have a edge over anyone else!" while it only means that the potential of a human beeing doesnt care what game you play. I.e we're all humans and can do similar things. It completely forgoes the fact that those who played BW before have reached a higher level than those that didnt because of extremly good workethics which is why they _have_ an edge. I agree with you, and Mr. Chae stated just about what you are saying right after the quote that BW pros have the edge in their work ethics compared to sc2 pros.
No, it's not a troll, it's actually how many BW players feel. I wish I could like SC2, alone just because for the sake of Nada and BoxeR.
