We've had SC2 for a while now. Most of us are playing online after having finished the campaign, and a somewhat stable metagame is starting to emerge. So, having taken in the experience, was Starcraft 2 all you hoped for, or are you disappointed with this hugely anticipated sequel?

Just curious! Ofc the poll will be somewhat biased as it isn't posted on the BW forums, but yea... I just wanna see how happy we all are with this game now that it's been out for a while :-)
Edit: Bah, the choices get reordered by how many votes they get. But it should be fairly obvious how they lie on the good-to-bad scale anyway I hope

Best RTS since BW. Nothing is likely to change that since no company can afford to develop and support an RTS like Blizzard can.
|
Posting this on a SC2 forum will sure yield results that are not predictable and can totally be drawn conclusions from.
|
Being a huge BW fan I still look to it as the perfect "classic" game but surely SC2 can live up to those same high standards over time and after everyone is settled with how things are, or atleast are willing to admit when one race wins over another that its fair lol. Honestly though the real success of the game will come from the players/community and in the end it could be the best game on earth but if everyone isn't somewhat insync as with BW than it wont end having such a long lifespan like the original. Its all up to us

In my mind SC2 certainly improves on BW in quite a few ways. Unfortunately Battlenet 2.0 is really bad. Which is a shame.

I noted this - it will be hard to get completely accurate, unbiased results

I voted nothing special. Bnet2 + current lackluster gameplay compared to BW = nothing special.
And also how can people think SC2 as of now lives up to BW's legacy LOL. OP should add a new option to the poll: "I have never followed the BW pro scene."

You should post this in the BW general forum too, as they are the people who's opinions I'm more interested in.

Never played brood war.. but I think I wouldve liked broodwar more than starcraft 2.. I like harder games.. I think SC2 is a good game.. but age of empires 2: age of kings is still my favorite RTS

Stop being so anal - you know what I'm trying to say

i think its amazing and fun, but i think bw still has it beat by a little. Thats not SC2's fault though, bw has simply been out for much longer, has been patched, has an expansion and a lot of following and rigorous play by progamers. So while i love SC2, we are just gonna have to wait until we see what type of "WOW" moments are going to come from it and whether it can rock the crowd as much as bw did. SC2 still has a TON of time and two expansions to prove itself though, its looking good for SC2.

Ok I'll do that

Never played BW myself, but i am completely hooked on sc2. So i guess that means that the game lives up to its legacy. 
|
Ok, so I posted it in the BW forum but it got locked by a mod.
|
Probably the best shit I've ever played, especially me coming from FPS genre I didn't play a lot of BW or WC3. Feels solid, I just can't wait to see what people invent at the GSL/IEM huge money tournaments :D we're bound to see some cool shit.
|
Its a good game alright just wish it was more mechanically demanding.
|
It's a great game, I think it lives up to BW's legacy. I however didn't feel it stood up to WC3's SP. So I'm disappointed in that and I don't feel like there's much variety in the game in terms of art assets, even if there is a great deal of them. They all feel washed out and the rusty/dark colors are boring to look at after awhile for me.
I'm not really sure if the game itself will have the depth Brood War has, I think we'll have to wait for another expansion or two to get to that level and years of patching. It's still very good for a release game in terms of balance.
|
With some clever patching and good communication with the community it'll get there. It looks promising at the moment, I'm still not entirely sure if I'm enjoying sc2 as much as I am right now simply due to the fact that its "fresh and new" though. It's definitely one of the best RTS games ever made, and tournaments popping up everywhere with cash prizes, streams etc helps a lot too

Aaaaaand, cue hating!
I hate to be the one to say this, but there are so many BW players butthurt about people leaving it for SC2. BW is an AMAZING game and fantastic to watch, so just enjoy it, no need to be a partypooper.
