In Response To: Re: I'm at MLG Columbus and very sad... (Cody Miller)


: I certainly prefer watching Starcraft over Halo. It's just a much easier game
: to watch.

: In Starcraft you have an observer who can easily show the audience the state
: of the battlefield, and at a glance the situation in the game is easily
: discernible. Viewers can be thrilled watching a player plan a strategy and
: wondering if his opponent will find out or be able to counter.

: Halo is harder to watch. To appreciate the player skill, you need to see it
: first person. If you see it first person though, you don't get the
: complete view of the battlefield and game dynamic. Halo games do not
: really have a buildup of progression like Starcraft. Instead of an
: overarching game flow, it's more like a series of scuffles.

: You're always missing something, whereas in Starcraft the observer
: perspective is perfect for everything.

I understand the problem you described with Halo. I just have trouble undertanding how anyone can keep watching a Starcraft game as it progresses. It kills my eyes with confusing blandness and gnaws at my soul with boredom. After 30 seconds, I always move on to something else.

I've played lots of Age of Empires and love it. I figure Starcraft is similar to that. Is it not? I do not choose to watch AOE unless I'm playing it. Boring activity to watch over someones shoulder.

I much rather watch an FPS game than an RTS.
