Older gamers are the ones who played and experienced both games and pro-scenes, and you know, maybe they are not getting paid to say so and it perhaps is the truth? I cant even imagine how hard it must be for BW pros (somewhat forced) to switch to a completely new and different game after years of crazy investment, especially for those like JD and Flash here... It outright killed the careers of high caliber players like Sea. Sounds like one of those grandpa in my old days stories. Playing games longer doesn't mean you have better tastes. I played most major games on release including broodwar and I still think broodwar was a failure as a game, and even sc2 relative to modern standards. It just have way too steep of a learning curve and team games are becomes way too unbalanced. I enjoy watching the scenes, but as a gamer I find wc3, age of empire and earlier red alert games to be much more enjoyable to play. | ||

Maybe you're looking for some kind of easy way out of the conversation based on the fact that he said "pre-SC2" and "post-SC2" or something but what he literally said wasn't relevant to the point he was trying to make since the games co-existed. Anyone who was watching in 2012 would have the opportunity to say they thought the BW pro scene was better, more exciting, more interesting, whatever. That was last summer. Don't know why some people get so uppity and defensive about people thinking the sequel is worse than the original, it's kind of amusing since that happens all the time in lots of contexts. | ||

When you start sentence with something like below, you know you're getting into the whole "back in the days" elitism. "When the large majority of the pre-SC2 users/followers/lurkers of TL" and then you get "Older gamers are the ones who played and experienced both games and pro-scenes" I guess you just can't into context. | ||

Your personal feelings on his post aren't the context. And "grandpa story" isn't the same thing as "elitism". The last Brood War event happened last summer. There are VODs. It isn't subject to unverifiable tale-telling. It's a real thing that lots of people remember clearly. To get uppity about the idea of people preferring that event and events more closely related to it is kind of amusing. I mean, if you really feel that plebeian for being younger or for not having watched Brood War, that's fine. But you can't really rail against elitists on a forum that was built around that topic and which still possesses many of the users the original poster was talking about. There's nothing elite about having turned on a stream in 2012. Or even 2011, if you can believe it. Tons of people did that. | ||

Tons of people did that. well the thing is, with 99% of the progamers spended incredable amount of hours into the game (12-17+) the game should atleast have a high skill sceiling to prevent having to "ultra balance" something, the more skill needed, the less balance starts to matter. and we hitted that wall a long time ago since its yust so easy to play near perfection. that is also the reason why most people say bw is a better game, purely becouse of that balance is almost pefect and playing near perfection is a incredable hard thing to do, which totally isn't at sc2. ontopic, LOL flash nerveus???? how many takes did he had to try to saying that without laughing?XD | ||
