Bored of SC2

Just as exciting as watching SC1! Not any moreso.
So whats your point then? All this proves is that SC2 is not worse to watch than SC1 - and some on here might even dispute that.

That is just your opinion. For me SC2 is far more interesting than SC1 because it has new units, much more spells, strategies and it is new game, and where SC1 is 12 years old game! It is close to perfect game and there is no doubt that SC1 is one of the best games I have played in my life, but enough is enough.

And this is Beta, it will be far different, they will change a lot of things in original, other spells, units etc... And this is first game, there will be two expansions with again new units, different maps, strategies. Overall, I think that SC2 will be more successful game than SC1.

Reading your other posts in these forums, I get that you don't like SC2, it isn't attractive to you. That is ok, everyone got their own taste and opinion, but one thing that I don't understand is why are you still posting here when you actually don't care about the game?

I just had to register to post... I keep forgetting SCL keeps changing their forums...

Anyway, I heard of this one game where all you do is click, and click, and click... It's called Diablo 2... I hate it because all you do is click on a monster and then it dies. I have no clue why people play the game. I get bored with clicking instantly. It's like the game should play itself or something and I should just be able to watch it. Like I think a movie would be better.

.sarcasm.


Anyway, that's the argument I see from the OP. While I may not be in the beta or have the cracked version, mostly because I'm a goody two-shoes, I still see the fun in playing the game. Hell, the argument that you're bored of the "cracked" version is retarded. Of course you need to maintain your base, if you don't want to use the macro mechanics, don't. Build an extra hatchery, more SCVs, or another nexus. Oh wait, those are the things the macro mechanics changed... My bad.

The game play will evolve to new heights given enough time. Saying the Beta is the end all be all for game play is ludicrous. Hell, you know the internet is just a fad too.

Is Blizzard trying to radically change the formula from StarCraft 1? Honestly, they're not, the games do play pretty similarly to one another, which is what I think what they were going for.

Yes, there will still be the basic stuff like making resource gatherers, troops, and buildings, but I don't really think that's going to go anywhere. Even the little innovations that are in the game now were met by some pretty harsh criticism, such as

- 3D graphics; many complained that the game should be in 2d because the sprites were clearer to read than the 3d models

- Rallying workers to automatically start working; claimed it was dumbing down the game/favoring those with low APM

- A notification for idle workers (too much like Wc3/dumbing down the game)

- Many of the new macro mechanics (especially the Protoss Chronoboost and Zerg Queen), alot of people are still very skeptical to this in fact.

Someone who had a cracked version said that the AI in that was similar to the AI in the original SC, I hate to break it to you but I never found the AI in that to be particularly challenging. If that's all I was playing, I would be bored quickly as well.

If I might add, someone also said that Blizzard included a garbage AI so people would play with others. I think that was the entire point, that AI is just for familiarizing yourself with the buildings and units, it's no real training.

I keep forgetting SCL keeps changing their forums...

We changed it once when me moved from BF to here.

Not only are we in beta, but we essentially have 1/3 of the game. This isn't a new thought but it keeps me hopeful that some things I'd personally like added or changed may come in expansions.

All right, so I've only visited the news page for the past 8 years...

Before that I was everywhere!

Operatoring... go on the TL.net website and check out their first ever SC2 invitational tournament, and look out specifically for a player named "TheLittleOne".

You may call this game boring after you watch these plays, but I doubt that...

An alternative source for those games is on Youtube.

OMG, I saw him use Terran. He used like every bit of tech to his advantage. He used nukes throughout the whole game, and switch from BCs to viking to counter the Collosi. It was... perfect.

EDIT:
OMG, another amazing game I just saw. This guy is incredible.

Oh, I remember years ago when some people complained SC2 was too much like the original StarCraft, while others complained at the same time SC2 was too different. Aaaaah, how much things haven't changed...

Simple fact - make it too much like SC1 and people, like the TC, will complain it's boring and stale. Make it too different from SC1 and people will complain it's alien and too much of a departure. Can't please everybody, so sorry you got the short end of the stick thus far TC.
