Re: GameTrailers fucks up GOTY 2008
Yeah, I don't like Blizzards gameplay. It's very much a personal kind of hate, and also how people rave them. I understand they're good, I won't deny that. I do think people blow them out of proportions though.
Yes, SC is super balanced, but that means shit to me. It came out 10 years ago, that really doesn't hold it's weigth now. Yes SC is a competitive E-sport, but it's pretty much the only REAL competive RTS E-sport anyways.
Yes WC3 has thousands of players even today, but I bet at least half of that is just custom games, and not so much love for the game itself. I love the custom games there, but not much else.
Also, I just don't like they're gameplay. It feels too same-y. I mean, look at the races in both SC and WC3, they share too many of the god-damn same qualities and mechanics. I know Blizzard is good, I just don't think they're as good as everyone thinks they are.
Also, I feel SC2 is a slap on the face. I mean, they're gonna make a sequel to the 'most acclaimed RTS' and they don't do much with it. I understand they can't change a lot, but if they weren't gonna change that much begin with, why bother? It's already 'perfect' as is, how do you expand it?
You don't really, save for adding a 4th race. But hey, FUCK IT, let's just tinker around with the races a lot!
Diablo 3 however, that actually looks like a fucking sequel.
BTW, I know Relic has plenty of flaws, but I had tons more fun with their games than Blizzard ones.
PS: I also want to stab anyone that defends SC against WH40K. You say tomato, I say LOOK AT THEM! HOW DO YOU NOT REALISE WHAT THEY DID?!?!
Not that i like WH40K much anymore.
