How was Warcraft on it's own?

How wasn't it?

The entire lore of Warcraft was created by Blizzard... The only thing that wasn't solely theirs were the typical Fantasy races.

This. Seriously, how is Warcraft even remotely copied from Warhammer?

Well, if you look at the Wc3 mainstory you can see that alof of it has been taken/inspired from different old legends and myths... But it doesn't really matter, just wanted to point it out.
Warhammer 40k is several hundred times more grimdark than Starcraft will ever be.

Old legends and myths isn't Warhammer.(Not saying that's what you meant, but the other guy...)

Ah yeah, indeed. Hell I love Wc3's story, it's one of the reasons why I totally love the game, it's really deep and mysterious.
Diablo 1 and 2 and Warcraft 1, 2 and 3 and Starcraft are quite enjoyable, especially Warcraft 3's custom maps.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23246313]I'm going to have to agree. WoW is Blizzard's worst game IMO. And yet I play it every day.[/QUOTE]
Sadly, this. :saddowns:
Valve seems more like the Pixar of the gaming world for me
The amount of ignorance in this thread is overwhelming.
Could anyone post the picture about Blizzard's WoW servers and how much money they get monthly? That should clear a few things up.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;23245208]Yes and what does that have to do with modern video games?

Portal isn't very imaginative if you think about it, it's basically just an FPS game but you fuck with physics and make portals.
It's just a puzzle game with some catchy phrases, like sodoku mixed with Bill Cosby.
CS:S and TF2 all lack sufficient story, most of the Tf2 storyline was just bullshit and doesn't make sense. "HIS GRANDFATHER WAS AN ENGINEER TOO?! :O"
HL Story is very barebone compared to the warcraft series; there's huge amount of unexplained events, which is why ep 3 is taking so long in my opinion.
DoD:S is a WWII game and ricochet is barely anything.[/QUOTE]
yes
half life story was very barebone
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;23238112]Come on, tell me about (rts) games that are better than Warcraft or Starcraft?[/QUOTE]
Red Alert 1 and 2
[editline]02:23PM[/editline]
I agree with the guy who said Valve is the Quentin Tarentino of the gaming world. amazing plots imo for a shit slew of cast (corresponding to the source engine graphics)
I only make sense in my own head.

Jesus christ.
What more do you want Portal to be? VALVe said themselves that they did not really flesh out Portal too much because the whole game was a sort of test to see how people would react to a game like that.
Trust me, Portal 2 will be amazing.
TF2 was just a generic Red vs Blu shooter, albeit an amazing one, and VALVe, being the greatness that is VALVe, decided to flesh it out and give it story. How can you complain? It went from a Red vs Blu shooter to a universe of its own. Thats like saying Quake sucks because theres to deep and intense backstory.
CS:S? Does it really need any story? Terrorists plant bomb/take hostages, Counter Terrorists rescue hostages/defuse bomb. Happy?
Just about every company has made a WWI or WWII game.
And Ricochet, is well, its Ricochet. Now never speak its name again :colbert:
I was a Blizzard fan LONG before I was a VALVe one, and I can easily say BOTH make great games. But you cant really compare an RTS series to a FPS series too much.

This could not be more right.
tbh I'd say Bioware was the Pixar of gaming
[QUOTE=BAZ;23236879]Valve are the pixar of gaming world[/QUOTE]
I do have to agree.
Sure, Blizzard makes awesome games, but Valve is looking more at innovation.
Didn't the news said "two companies share that honor"?

[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;23236932]Reminds me of the headline where EA claim to be the Disney of the gaming world. Urgh.[/QUOTE]
Makes sense! Disney under the control of Eisner had the fame of making sequels out of the good Disney 90's movies and milking every penny out of a franchise.
ITT Bioware fan boys, Blizzard fan boys, and VALVE fan boys argue over whats best when they just need to realize all three of those companies makes great games.

This isn't necessarily a selling point for 40k, you know. I like dark, but 40k takes to the point where it's just plain stupid. Besides, battletech is far more interesting.:fuckyou:

Yeah, TF2 has to give some epic bonus points towards being Pixar.
Valve deserves it more. Still Blizzard is a good company and I understand why they were chosen.
