Similiar Games Coexisting

from Demigod Forums

There's a trend I am noticing in IRC and the forums that confuses me. Most notably regarding Starcraft 2 and Demigod/League of Legends/Heroes of Newerth. The first case is that because of Starcraft 2 no other RTS game can ever come out as Starcraft 2 is the end all be all RTS game. Supreme Commander 2 and Command and Conquer 4 should be cancelled because of Starcraft 2 is what people say. I'm not exaggerating any of this.

And then there is the Demigod/League of Legends/Heroes of Newerth love triangle. People from each community bash the games constantly. I don't understand why people cannot sit still with their decision instead of going out and trying to convince other people that their game is best. Don't you think you deserve some sort of check from said company for doing that?

Why do people think similiar games cannot co-exist and do well independent of each other? Games are not cars.

Not to nitpick, but shouldn't that be a >?

I was thinking the same thing. (Arby's.)

fixed.

Sorry dude, look at any forum for any online focused multiplayer video game and you'll see my statement is true. With the exception of the offical Xbox 360 forums. Scarily enough, people are actually nice there. It sadly has little to do with the quality of the video game - people always complain and post "game will die unless you turn it into [other game]" crap.

I don't think it's fair to label everyone who thinks Starcraft is the 'best' and has 'faith' in Blizzard as a 'fanatic'. I do think that Starcraft is the 'best', in the sense that I've had more fun playing it than any other game; and as as for Blizzard, I rate them above Relic since they haven't released a game that hasn't been fantastic during the time I've been following them.

That said, if I don't enjoy Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3, I won't force myself to continue playing them, and I might think twice about buying the next Blizzard game. I also wouldn't miss Supreme Commander 2 if it wasn't made.

 

Off course i did not want to imply that everyone supporting Blizzard is blind fanatic, if it was the case and you feel offended, i apologize.

Anyway, i still think that Starcraft is by lot of people considered to be better game that it actually is.

No need to apologise. No offense taken. And I disagree. ;P
