[QUOTE="MercFox1"]Well, yeah; some of us anyhow.

I think that label comes when a majority of PC gamers (myself included) operate on the judgment that that console gamers are "copping out" and lowering the standards for the rest of us. While there may be truth to that statement (see" RTSes always will be superior on PCs"), there are just some games and gaming experiences that are better on consoles.oldskooler79

In the defense of consoles- with the introduction of PS3/360, gamers now can play at higher resolutions, view and soon record media, play immersive games, etc that in the past was only present with pcs. Now, pc games will IMO always be a step or two ahead of any current console technically but it's nice to see console gamers get this.

I don't think it lowers the standards of pc gaming. Mainly because pc gaming will evolve over the cycle of PS3/360 in ways that perhaps you are unaware of and the fact that consoles will not be able to do. It always happens this way. It only seems now that current games will suffer the next-gen console degradation period. The latest consoles are like bright shiny magnets for kids and even adults as they walk in the stores. The devs know this and will focus on them until the fad wears down, and it will believe me!

When that happens, it's back to the pc for the hardcore devs that strayed away. Then the consoles won't know what hit em'. Why would the evolutional clock change now?

You call yourself old"skooler" (learn to spell) and you're talking about hardware specs? You're not an oldschooler at all. PC games' advantage is modability. In other words, modifiable software, not hardware. Consoles' advantage was purity of the experience, but now they're really losing that as consoles try more and more to be like PCs and for that reason I don't really play them any more. Don't sully that name if you can't see that 8 bits is just as good as 512 megabytes.

Best and favorite are not the same thing.  Even if Starcraft doesn't quite tickle your balls the right way, it's still the best.

Name one other RTS that has had such a profound effect on society as Starcraft.  While you're at it, name one RTS that has more players active at any given time, even today.

Starcraft is the Counter-Strike of RTSs, whether you like it or not.  I personally enjoy WC3 and SupCom more, but I'm not so naive as to think my opinion is the only factor that makes a good game.

LOL.. I wont say I hate it but I must say they definitley have marketed their game pretty well. The game play isnt anything out of this world and 8 mill people play it religiously. Im telling you , play WOW and then play SWG... not a whole lot of difference besides ones in space and ones in a midevil fantasy world

U are quite stupid to say the least. How can I hate a game?, I wonder if u know what the term “hate ” means. U can like a game, or not for different reasons. Not hate. U can’t hate a game , a tree ,a wall and so on. Think a little (no a great deal) before saying stupid things.
