Okay, I appreciate people trying to explain to people why the Korean names are awful, but... If you translate something to another language, then translate it back to the original, it will ALWAYS sound much worse. It's very funny and entertaining, but it's not accurately representative AT ALL of how the unit names sound in Korean. They are bad, yes, but it's because of the nuances that can't be understood unless you know Korean.
why can't they just hangulize the english names ;;
i'm pretty sure all koreans know what a 저그링 is rather than a whatever its called in sc2.

Hahahahaha, this is so great!

The game looks much cooler than SC1

SC1 is 10 fucking years old you dumbshit ofcourse it looks cooler.

"Big Space Ship" = Carrier LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
LMFAO, those are my favorite comments.

The best solution is to have english units but with a Korean Main interface IMO.
|
MrHoon's signature netizen comments! So awesome!!! :D
|
"SC2 has one race only, Protoss. The game is fucking built for protoss players."
See guys, I told you they'd keep some things like the original!
|
I don't really understand why they can't keep the names from the original version and just modify the interface. I'm not a big fan of other language versions either. The target audience for the game are teenagers and young people and they shouldn't have big problems with understanding english.
Besides, the names are hillarious. Massing " BIG SPACE SHIPS" is going to be really awesome now.

so, is anyone else going to tell your friend over vent to "get some underground conquerors" while playing a 2v2?
"sigh, No! You're worthless to me beginning game. Just canon up and tech to big space ships!"
as an aside. i apologize now for all american developers that have ever ripped up your native language. a moment of silence.

lool "he is going Bigthings into mass big space ships"

Reminds me of the name changes in warcraft 3 for TFT.
They changed Gyrocopter to flying machine and wyvern to wind rider. No idea why they would do that.
|
wow the first two netizens just made my day....
are they really all this foul-mouthed? its like they call each other "dumb-shit" every time they exchange words...

omg the korean translated names commetns are friggin hilarious
|

The commentators in Proleague should just ignore the translated names. Or face a drastic drop in 시청률
|
Ok now i am sick of that protoss 1a2a3a bullshit. Protoss might be the easiest race to bash noobs, but it is the hardest race to master. Why can't people just go with: all the races are balanced! Isn't that actually why is SC1 the best RTS game??? Maybe maps are imba, but not the races.
|
The discussion about the unit names reminds me of the German version of Broodwar. Good times...
I think everyone in his right mind will get the English version in the end after all.
|
OMG I AM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE KOREAN NAMES!
blizz definitely needs to add a mode with korean names so we can have our carriers named big space ship if we want!
petition anyone?
|
ehhh... no.
IIRC, they actually kept the names in the original RoC, so I doubt the issue was anything legal. I wouldn't be surprised it just that Blizzard thought the names were cooler.

Lol i seriously wonder why you'd change the names!? I mean god... most of the names don't mean anything to us ether!? [b]Lol whats a baneling.. zellot... vulture...[b] Also, if they're going to change unit names, why not go all out and change the Race names too? I mean god, they're just as indecipherable as the Unit names!?
If god you'd god want god people god to god take god you god seriously, you might want to clean up your english!?
It seems you don't play SC because you ask what Banelings, "Zelllots" and Vultures are!?
The Korean unit names are funny, and if they put big space ship in the english version, I would laugh a whole lot!?
and don't sign your posts (in the future), I see new people do that alot whats the point of signing if
1.) you are not an admin
2.) we can see your username right there above your posts.
3.) it's not like you just wrote up an article.
GAHH
[end rant]
I think the korean names are hilarious. I want to go play a game with big space ships and underground conquerers.
