It appears that some people who like BW exclusively or SC2 exclusively are also rooting against it. It's just the way some people are. There's plenty of people who like the game and that's really what matters. | ||

I'm pretty sure most of the bitterness is over the people taking every opportunity to use Starbow as an excuse to badmouth SC2/people that like SC2/Blizzard. | ||

On top of that, there are already some tournaments for money. Free game with prize money available? It's going to increase in size big time, I'm willing to bet on it. P.S. I've noticed you're one of the biggest voices of negativity and pessimism about this game both on reddit and TL. . . just thought I'd add that.  I prefer to think of myself as realistic, but ok. Yeah free to play gains players, if people know about it. Who knows about it right now? Pretty much every reddit user i guess. That is pretty much it and i don't know how this would change with 2.1, that is more important than the patch itself. And if you think i am negative about it, well i just don't hype it no matter what, that is the difference here. | ||

Starbow is fun, i like it a lot, but the amount of hype it has is ridiculous, most people have been played it for like 5 days and they already say it better than starcraft 2? I'm not saying it isn't or that it won't ever be, just saying that is still too early to say that. I know that the intentions of the makers aren't that this is a sc2 replacement, but all the fanboys need to stop saying it is. | ||

If you find a game w/ units that have better micro potential than another, then it is more fun to control them in various of combinations. SB follows that frisbee vs baseball analogy from Day[9]'s video. Plus SB adheres very closely to BW's design philosophy and if it is remotely close to BW's gameplay, then I can see why people would admit that it is better than starcraft 2. | ||

I think it's a really fun game and I hope players keep playing it after the tourney! You don't have to make all these "eSports," or "dead game," or "better than SC2" comments to like a fun alternative gamemode that soon anyone can play! A game should be played because it is fun ><. It doesn't really matter how it compares to SC2, such talk is pointless. You can just ignore it too! | ||

I have a lot of issues with certain aesthetic/sound aspects of the game, but the devs have stated they're focusing a lot on the gameplay ATM, so I will delay expressing that. Game is fun as fuck, especially PvZ. The main thing I like is that as a Protoss/Terran player in SC2 that Starbow really makes the two feel a lot more comparable from a fairness perspective in terms of the macro and mechanical demands | ||

(mind you that there were many balance complaints during the WoL beta that seem ridiculous in retrospect) Also, off-topic but: + Show Spoiler + I'm so sick of Day9's frisbee vs baseball analogy. Baseballs offer you control and are fun to use (source: I made it to the regional team as a pitcher in my youth). Day9 is not some god of design just because he used an analogy to describe micro potential, it's all obvious enough. | ||

Hmmm...at this point after discussing with Blade it seems like Terran's free instant SCV is really ridiculous. I mean sure you have to pay 50 minerals but you build it instantly O_O. Fun stuff, sad that Blade lost in a ZvZ, was really rooting for him. What happened to Losira? | ||
