there is no comparison one is playing checkers and the other is playing chess what are we even comparing here..

I'm trying to get into the genre with multiple titles, and it's just not clicking, I don't understand exactly what's going on on the screen, and most "beginner" the guides, assume that you already know what every unit does, how to use control groups effectively, and what economy is, I don't even understand half the terms they use, in lol I didn't need to know all this to start, I just needed to know the roles, what my chosen character does and a site to tell me what to build, I'm really trying to get into it and don't wanna quit this but it's overwhelming me, if you can recommend resources for complete new players to learn starcraft2 at least I'd really appreciate it

Sc2 is easy mode compear to sc1.

The problem isn't game difficulty or toxic community. These things never stopped the most successful games. The problem is that the good games in the genre are old and the new ones haven't measured up to the bar of quality set down by the genre's founders. It's like if you're a fan of Harry Potter and someone writes a shitty fanfic. They disrespect the lore, don't understand the characters, have an incoherent plot... The problem isn't that reading is too hard or the fans are too gate-keepy. The problem is that the fanfic just isn't good enough.

The problem with your perspective on this is that being toxic and talking trash tbh is fun, entertaining, exciting, and makes the game more fun to spectate, drawing in players. The game community needs a balance -- areas that are welcoming for new players while also having areas where people can talk trash.

Let's hope Sanctuary: shaterred sun succseeds. It may be real new era for rts games

I think what StarCraft has that the other games don't is that it's very strenuous. You have to be ultra alert and giving the game 110% effort and attention from the start to the end. The game is exhausting. While giving the game 110% you'll still constantly feel like you don't have enough attention and APM to make things go right. Dota, LoL, and Osu are not like that.

such an annyoing video. u wanna tell somebody about esports and do everything to annoy us. Please make this shit again oder delete it.

Most games are so extremely complex when you go deep it's impossible to distinguish which is more complicated. But RTS games definitelly have the biggest skill floor so they are the hardest.

StarCraft is absolutely the hardest Esport

Im a huge starcraft 2 player, I have hundred of hours on this game. I made my wife play the game and idk how I achieved this but she LOVES sc2. I told her "it's easy, just try and do things". She got crazy after her first Battlecruiser. In my opinion, and i'm nobody to say this, but the fun in rts is NOT in ranked games and tryharding. The fun is in using all of your drones to attack the ennemy drones and finish the game in 20 seconds. I know it's a bad word but the truth is here : rts is never as funny as when you autistically go full sandbox with your tactics. So brievly : maybe the next major rts will be the funniest one and god I love my girl

I don't think that they can kill Immortal Gates of Pyre which has a solid community atm

No, RTS-Community is sick of MP focused RTS game.

Starcraft Broodwar was a strategic game, where you can play mind games and where an All In is harder to pull off then standard play. Starcraft 2 ....

I love Starcraft games , because I cant see, and feel my heand after 5 min of playing it.

Pog

Awesome 😅

Yes

"why the StarCraft community KILLS every new RTS game" It isn't that SC fans kill new RTS games It's that new RTS games aren't as good as SC Go figure

not halo wars/empire at war. but i can give it a try

The problem with arcade/custom games is that they're just not that great in SC2. It's a huge and clear falloff in quality (and quantity for that matter) of custom games compared to WC3. There's a reason WC3 spawned all kinds of genres, while SC2 has spawned... 0 I think? From the clunky editor, to the awful license agreement. It's not fair to blame people for not wanting to bother, when Blizzard did everything to kill it themselves.

man... i only want to play skirmish and have fun with AI just like the old days

The insanity that is competitive starcraft is what made me quit the game, I loved the campaings and finished all of them at least 10 times but it got boring so I tried ladder and it was so intense something as simple as attacking my opponent with my army made my heart race so much I though myself, I will fucking die if I keep doing this, in the end I felt bored with the campaings and ladder was just too much, now I pray that stormgate I will fill that void I have by not playing an rts game since kane's wrath is kind of dead

Shut ap Nub! Starcraft IS the hardest game!!!! wanna compare social skills, go to wall street! i take big pride in being mediocre at best in Starcraft. None other game needs this much autism.

it's one thing to figure out a deckmeta, another is the player actually being able to use it hey currently 1 base with core wasps+blink or blink hunter is superstrong and OP, right? .. we can go home now and let the game die .... is this really what today's general playerbase has devolved into? game is in beta, units and contend are to be added ... depending on how consisted the playerbase and income will be unitballance may shift regularly or irregularly to keep things fresh OR the game despite the difficulty is balanced in a way that multiple deck archetypes are viable with no real OP meta stand out ...

played one team FFA in one free rts .. played ok but ultimately got destroyed by mirror due to too many bad trades and severe lack of resources with no real way for comeback *gets called out for ruining the entire match for the team because quitting* .. yea no thx i don't need that vitriol discussion in a mod for a different game that contains couple bad/useless units asking why modders don't fix balance them knowing they are bad/useless modder answers they don't want that (but still keep them in the buildoptions for no reason) as "it brakes gameflow", calls me a noob for wanting to use them .. guess i won't play that mod then either and leave these guys in their echochamber and then there is the example of a couple try hards ruining the multiplayer experience for me in yet another RTS i initially had fun with because i was questioning certain balance and mechanic decisions ... basically .. play the god damn game until you are grandmaster/diamond/whatever the highest possible rank is, don't discuss anything or you are forever considered a pleb .. bla bla bla .. skill issue .. don't you dare mention anything that in your opinion could improve a thing .. because people HATE change, no matter how small .. so yea i'm just compstomping these days because people showed me too many times how miserable they are to one another a kingdom for blocking chat in match and lobby

Balance is like DEI wokenest. Saps the fun of life.

soft cop out sc, sc2 hardest by far

Short answer: yes You’re welcome

Damn this video sucks. That's completely insane that you would show a clip of 3rd strike and say "other games don't suffer the stigma of difficulty". Not only is 3rd strike largely considered one of the hardest fighting games to master, it's also one of the hardest to even start playing because most of the people still playing are high level players who have been grinding the game for years making the entry to play really high for anyone who doesn't want to get destroyed every single game. The comparison to chess is absurd as well. Chess is played by millions world wide and has people of every skill level learning and playing it, obviously you can learn as much or as little as you want and you'll still easily find people at your skill level to play and win against. Not the case in starcraft where it's not that popular even compared to other major video games and the barrier to entry is much higher for anyone who wants to try multiplayer without getting smeared against the wall.

I think the intro of the video is more dramatic than any documentary about sc2, in a good way

For sc1 just rts was good but sc2 upgrade itself to point when you have evrything. Most modern rts are just pvp or just pve ect they try be perfect in one thing and not see that no one care.

Since when did gruncle Stan got into StarCraft after season finale

NORMAL MAN

It's a Disastah! Starcraft 2 > Dota 2 > Everything else

I love sc2 and find it relaxing to play 1v1 because I am a Chinese,and I don't want to play with any other Chinese since they are to disrespectful to others,and in EU server,I find my peace

Damm that's iconic

0:20 well this is complete joke yea maybe in esport but there are games with highter skill ceiling and bigger difficulty limit like OSU, Chess, GD, FNaF, and... maybe dota 2 but not sure about that (its in Top 3 hardest esports ever imo)

Serral would easily beat anyone in any game.

people saying sc isnt the hardest game are dumb

from my humble analysis: SC1 requires attention to error prevention in micro, as shown with the dragoon, and SC2 requires more precision micro with marine splits, baneling targeting, blink micro with stalkers, viper grabs etc. My best level was playing Zerg main, and employing a ling-muta pressure, like a Knight in chess, or mongolian warfare, always threatening 2 positions forcing the enemy to pick a battle/loss. It was medium micro and macro heavy, but having a main army of Ling-Mutas that you can split, and a batch of lings from hatchery on A-Move sent to a pressumed enemy expansion while baiting/harassing his main army always secured I was 1 base ahead.. Add in Nydus channel once in a while.. :D My highest ranking opponent was a Protoss player in masters with 13K games who didn't want to play 1v1 with me again cause my playstyle was too stressful.. I only did platinum in 1v1 ladder and diamond in 2v2/3v3/4v4, back when there was only plat-diamond-master as the highest. But I rocked a 200-400 APM back then. Now its only 100-160 APM, and I am a filthy casual. To me, I have seen no harder games or learned others a harder game. In MOBA you have 1 unit to micro, and have only the minimap awareness on rotation, there is no zerg queen/mule/chrono boost or gate timings/barracks/larva spawn on top of microing an army.. And you play with Fog of War as opposed to Chess, so you have to scout and gather intelligence..... In chess you have perfect knowledge.. In starcraft and also in life, you have to make the right decision, with imperfect knowledge..

This was actually one of the first vlogs I ever edited, but I didn't want to post it until I started making content regularly. I figured I'd just post it here since I'm currently slammed with exams so no new vids for a bit O__o

Well every game can be hard if there's competition, but that's not really the difficulty people refer to. We have to objectively consider how many types of abilities the game requires to which level for a player to be good at it. SC requires all of them to the high level except for the team play. LOL requires mechanical and knowledge skills along with team play, but lacks multi tasking aspect compared to SC. Team play is by nature easier compared to doing it all by yourself😊
