love how spastics are still comparing sc2 as a whole to the current state of brood war.

sc2 is so far ahead of what the original starcraft was when it was released its not funny.


But it is so far behind the original starcraft has become, thanks to the community



become?

Is this game on market for 6 years? or was it 1 week?

Agree with most people about the rubbish post from a waste of time account. To stumble onto TL one day and inform us all of this wise knowledge is a waste of time. Measure of a games success is in it's first week? What was Brood War's first week like? Not a sentence in the post that isn't the ramblings of someone who clearly does not know what they are talking about.

Just a question did korea automatically take in the original starcraft immediatly, i doubt it,I'm just wondering if it took to BW or what to get them interested but I highly doubt it was automatically there 'national sport' so to speak.

These so called 'experts' really need to put down there name and qualifications because anyone could be declared a profesional or expert, I tend to distrust when an article says industry experts so many places do with false numbers and facts, aswell it says it was run in an internet cafe, no sure if that makes for solid numbers but oh well this guy is so obviously opposed to SC2 for some reason which is strange
I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and im all out of......... ah forget it

Right...

People like you are crazy. No one can objectively say that SC2 is a bad game. Seriously.

and even if it would fail in asia. In europe and US it booms with finally some Real-TV broadcasts and so much pricemoney and everything. So Blizzard has definatly done something right here.

I'm sick of people saying "it took 11 years for bw to develop" and "you think bw sold 1.8 million copies in its first week?" - you do realize this is the sequel to that game. This is the game that was heavily marketed, heavily hyped, been in open to the community development for 3 years, and was built with the intention of tournament, e-sports, and competitive play. This game -allegedly- took all the great things from bw so that it wouldn't HAVE to take 11 years to get to the point where BW was. Unfortunately Blizzard went overboard in appealing to people who dont know how to play RTS, and in their features for Bnet 2.0 to the point where they not only hurt the competetive scene, but their sales figures as well - a lose/lose situation for them(when they thought they would make more money from it).

It's such a weird phenomenon, how some people want BW to die, others want SC2 to die, just so they don't have to doubt that the game they choose to play is the "correct" one.

Yes, this is the mentality everybody should adopt in my opinion, about both BW and SC2!

All I see coming from this is blizzard putting more pressure on shutting down or getting proceeds from the professional sc1 scene.

That said, you couldn't expect everyone to just jump ship straight away. Human beings have this sense of attachment to things that work for them, and simply can not bebothered upgrading. (look at win XP and win 7, 7 is a far superior OS yet more people still use XP.)

It was a tough choice, but you sir get the award for worst post on this thread.

Do you even know what an Alpha build is?

wow reading this thread a lot of butt-hurt and angry users that obviously only registered because of SC2. This shouldn't have been a surprise, seeing as there was an anti-Blizzard sentiment going on with all their shenanigans (i.e. the negotiations [or lack of], breaking ad laws, pissing off the PC Bangs).

Anyways, as long as it doesn't touch my BW pro scene I'm fine..

I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist, but I think you get that award instead for being stupid enough to even think he was using alpha in that context.

Both should thrive; honestly life would be much easier if Blizzard titled it not as Starcraft 2 but Space Race Wars.
