Also, I never understood what this BW vs. SC2 drama is about.

I assume they're two rival fast food franchises, where the former was eventually subsumed by the latter, and the diehard fans of the former have been busy with nostalgia, while QQing that the owner of the two, Heatwave, deliberately killed Burger Wings off to fuel the expansion of Super Chicken Two.

It's almost like Melee and Brawl.

Mechanically the analogy makes sense.

We're talking about fast food franchises here, why are you referencing video games? What possible bearing does that have?

My bad, I'll just go back to eating Project McDonald's.

Nice save.
Honestly, I don't really understand the whole broodwar love and sc2 hate. It's like if someone put system shock 2 on a console, and everyone was like "this game has a skill ceiling reached only by the being above God". Then Bioshock comes out and people claim it's horrible because now you don't have to be above God to get past the first level.

He's not saying anything offensive or insulting. He's just saying things that are stupid and wrong.

The SS2->Bioshock analogy actually works a lot better than he realizes, for the wrong reasons.

I never played any of the Bioshock trilogy, but I played the hell out of the System Shock 2 demo. And what a fine demo it was!

Well, if someone were to try and port ss2 onto a console, it would be unplayable unless you were God. This is where most of the analogy comes from. I'm not talking about the actual design flaws of Sc2 (I've been lurking on the forum long enough to know most of them by heart), but valid arguments are about 5% of them. Most of the hate I see comes from "Sc2 is a child's game comparatively". And calling Sc2 a dead game because of its gameplay is kind of dumb, for obvious reasons, but I rarely see people calling it a dead game for stuff like the rise of other competing "e-sports" or a lack of heavy community support.

Edit: though not really sure about other comparisons to ss2 to bio and bw sc2.
