I've got to agree with so many posts in this thread: it's pretty funny when people think they're so great at a game they've never played against anyone else. I remember seeing this guy(#1) show his friend(#2) WC3 on a laptop in my campus. I go to talk to them and #1 starts telling me he's really good (not in a arrogant "i'll whoop your ass" kind of way, but he just thought he was actually good), so I just believe him. Then after a few seconds I tell #2 he should use hotkeys to go faster... To that, #1 responds: "oh dude, even I'm not THAT good! You need to be a pro to never click on the icons"... | ||

But yeah I've only met one gamer in real life who actually thought SC was a bad game. He kept trying me to play me in games like WC3 and SupCom (at least these games aren't as infantile as DoW) but I always rolled him like 20:1. His arguments were nothing original (look on the old MBS threads to see carbon copies), though one amusing retort he had was that SC wouldn't run on his system because it was 64 bit. Somehow I found the retort both spurious and condescending. | ||

In fact I honestly have never EVER met a RTS gamer in England. I dont include the Chinese/Korean students by the way. its because PC gamers hide, because PC gamers hide. Ever PC gamer thinks they are alone because all the PC gamers around them also think that they are alone, its not like we English are renowned for being forward in these matters, I've never once asked anyone if they play Starcraft, in the same way no one has ever asked me if I play Starcraft, the way it works is similar to a hostage situation, someone posts posters for a a LAN, and people only really turn up because they know other gamers are going to turn up. People don't discuss games in convo much unless they know that the other people are gamers, so we have to improvise with other means. | ||

All my gladiator friends already quit the game for the same reason: the competitive part of wow completely suck. Balance suck. And skill means less than 10% of the outcome of the game like Idle said. Team composition and luck weight much more than player skill. So it gets old fast. But most of them won't play SC because they find it boring and ugly. Unfortunately, simply being 'balanced' doesn't make a good game :O Funny when you talk about WoW, koreans are pretty good in that aswell (no suprise). I remember half a year ago there was this Arena tour during some big lan event. And the best PvP team (Nihilum PvP) went against some korean team. Eventually Nihilum team lost, and after that game, commentators asked how they felt etc, and they were like "there are way better arena teams in korea, we were just lucky to get qualified to this tour". During LANs, my most people dont want to play SC only cuz they know they will get owned. And that when they dont, their games take FOREVER, and they cba to play SC cuz of that. Basically what killed SC in my neighbourhood. | ||

Do you also remember how warrior / druid / lock was completely dominant for months over all the much more "skilled" korean rmp teams? The game is not built for extremely high level play. There were even endless jokes that the reason the korean teams didn't dominate was because the gcd hindered their apm. | ||

people i play starcraft with react by telling apm jokes. people that dont play sc but play a variety of other games say " how can you not get bored of playing only one game?" And also make a graphics statement sometimes. and people that dont play games have very varied reactions, all depends on their personality and relation to me i guess. | ||

She tolerates it but doesn't like it. Ugh? Just because she doesn't care about sc you would break up with her? | ||
