Starcraft 2 and starcraft should be thought of as 2 different games, no-one was like "yay lets switch from BW when Ra3 comes out". That is what i meant when they are "not basically related". I know those posts were bad, i was a bit tired when i wrote those + i had other stuff in my mind as well. I apologize if i am the reason TL "sucks". Also what i think gives TL a bad rep is the fact that there is a bit too much flaming, which is OK to me. AND at least i posted, on topic. You just started hatin' on me because some parts of my post was shit. Also saharadrac do you have any opinions of your own? Or do you just look for flamewars everywhere? My posts were 100% better than your were in this topic. You were OT'ing and posting shit about ME, and saying that TL community sucks, which you are a part of. You are more a part of this community than i am, i only started posting here couple of days ago. | ||

The people in this thread looked at this video like it was Blizzard desperately trying to impress them, because well, hardcore nerds like us think we're the only ones people make games for. The truth however, is how I described it in the post i quoted above. | ||

The game looks great and I can see that there is real potential there for awesome competitive play. But I really want to shoot Dustin Browder. Listening to him is like watching your Dad dance at a party... you know what I mean?! He thinks he's really cool and he's making the game hip but really he should just shut up and let someone else cast. The way he pretends those two pathetically weak players were making great plays by moving an observer 2 inches to the right. And wait.... if he mentioned the stupid towers and explodable rocks (a dazzling new concept might I add) once, he mentioned them a thousand times. It's great to see in-game footage, but please if you really have to cast games instead of just releasing footage... get some decent casters. | ||

Units clumping - Makes it impossible to tell whats going on when there are heaps of units all clipping through each other. Units stand too close to each other. An example of what it should be more like is when the terran was moving that force of helions around at the end. Thats the distance units should be keeping from each other. Death animations - Death animations have to seriously contrast with what the unit looks like when it is alive for easy readability. For example in BW a white medic would blow up into a sludge of red, acommpanied by a very distinct sound. Its very important for readability that things die in an effective manner. (I did like the protoss buildings death animations, they were cool) Map control - While this could just be a result of the poor players, there seemed to be very little map control in this game. Just units walking to the other's base in lines. | ||

@Damage types: When Dustin talks about counters and shit like this that doesnt mean sc2 is rly a rock paper scissor game(at least if what i read here is right http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_types#StarCraft_II) If he was commentating a brood war matchup he would be saying such things either way, like: wow NaDa went vultures against SaviOr zerglings, thats definitely the right unit to do this cause vultures concussion damage pwn lings. or. -Boxer wraith choice really went the right units against those carriers since wraiths have bonus damage AtA. correct me if you played sc2 already and i am wrong =/ | ||

Anyways: Still it gives us a good overview over the dynamics of the game and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. Imagine two (way) better players than these two (no offense) and other commentators (MBC/OGN style, no offense once again to Dustin Browder and co.). To me the game has a genuine feeling of SC. I judge games based on my feeling towards it and this game seemed very decent. Yes, there are things to be fixed but then again this is only Alpha. A lot of you have pointed out a lot of good stuff that has to be looked at again. I'm sure that Blizzard will make sure that certain fixes will be implemented. On a sidenote, I like Xel'Naga watchtowers :p I think they add a certain strategic element to the game. | ||

What's more, it does look like shit. They didn't design properly a single game since brood war. What most of naive people are delusional about, is only that the subpar quality they're delivering is tuned a tad higher than the overall garbage released every year by all other editors. There's really nothing to argue. Once the game will be released, then, argue all you want. So far, it looks, smells, feels like a piece of crap of inacurate 2D rts game in a 3D engine. There is NOTHING new. They didnt add ANYTHING. People blasting others with the argument "its not brood war, its another game" make me laugh. And now, to make it even better, its advertised by a band of inbreed metal fuck heads. | ||

Better than WC3 means it's good. Literally every single person aside from Rekrul has said they enjoyed the game - regardless of wether they thought it was as good as BW or not. Honestly, show me all these people saying it's shit, because I sure as hell haven't heard from them (again, aside from Rekrul writing a 1 sentence blog post saying "Star2 sucks balls"). | ||
