Yes some people hate it, I personally hate this game with a passion, its one of the worst RTS's I have ever played. I love RTS games, Warcraft 1,2 and 3 I played a ton, all the C&C games, both the Myth games, and plenty more.
I guess the reason I hate it so much is because so many people like the OP claim its the best RTS ever, when its only medicore at best. In all honesty I didn't hate playing it, but it wasn't really fun, and is so ridiculously overrated its not even funny. At the time SC was out I believe I was playing Myth 1 quite a bit actually, which I feel is a far superior RTS.
So anyway, SC was the most overrated garbage RTS ever made, and it doesn't even rank as the best RTS from Blizzard. Warcraft is better than SC could ever hope to be. ANyway I absolutely HATE this game, so yeah there are people who hate it.

VashHT can go first, hes passionate about his hate . Vash i believe you dont like it because you didnt try UMS on battle.net. As the worlds number 1 biggest starcraft fan i do have to admit, i never completed the campaigns without "there is no cow level" cheat. It was boring, like AOE II, and like earth 2150, i cheated through those too. Ive not played a proper game of sc in years. WWII DIE, the thing, the phantom and the other horde of UMS maps that warcraft dosent have that are a ton o fun are what makes sc great imo.

i don't understand you fanboys. i can't think of any game i loved as much as you guys love some of your games.
We're just passionate Rightly so too, because when i look back at 11 year old me sitting in my grans living room reading the sc manual, reading about the battlecruiser thinking "gawd damnit why dosent gran have a pc here :frown:" and how it only cost me £30? It took so little, and gave so much, sc is the absolute best buy ive ever made. £30 for thousands of hours of amusement!
In fact i actually got RSI when i was 11 because of SC. It was THAT good!
same here ... and i certainly can't even imagine playing it in 14x9 WS - in '07Originally posted by: MmmSkyscraper
I've never played it.

1) The theme (technology)
2) The horrible graphics and
3) It's more about twitch skill then strategy, it's high speed twitch, with high speed micro and macro management.
The gameplay mechanics of starcraft are some of the tightest in any RTS ever made, anyone who doesn't like starcraft must hate it out of some kind of superficial prejudice, since most RTS games are nothing more then Warcraft and Starcraft clones, with different graphics and storylines.
