Warcraft 3

[JurisDictum]

Warcraft 3 is most underrated game ever made. It spawned the entire MOBA genre is the most creative RTS ever made.

Most people, however, would rather play team-oriented games. Despite the fact that all they do is bitch at their team.

This is because they suck and can't face it.

Anyway I've played a few hundred games of every race (a bit less of NE because I did a lot in the old days).

It's pretty well balanced but I think Human is in rough spot to learn ATM.

Night Elf alternatively is easy as shit as it always was.

But once you get to a certain point they are mostly the same except a few match-ups on a few maps.

Warcraft 3: Reforged is coming out on the horizon. I think it will probably be worth it despite what a shitshow Blizzard has become (seen the stock / layoffs lately? ). It's just a graphics remaster with some updates and new maps.

Hopefully they add a few heros and merc camps.

Very fond memories back in the early 2000's playing WC3 custom games. Tower defense, DOTA, city builder RP, risk, etc

Not so much WC3 itself. I was very bad at it.

DOTA was where you could find all the WC3 terribads. It's kind of interesting, in gaming history, that I think it's the lowered skill bar is what made it more fun to lesser skilled players, hence more popular overall.

WC2 had a better aesthetic

two words: Undead imbalance.

World of Warcraft was better.

The campaign was really cool. If u think about it, Wow is just a fanfic or WC3

wc3 is for custom games. and they were wonderful. The game was an engine for modding. the best of a very good era and intent. good taste, JD.

might try out this "reforged" nonsense if the mapping stuff is intact. I'd play burbenog TD with any of you dear scrubs.

Finally, we agree on something.

Then again, it could be my nostalgia talking.

I also suck/sucked at RTS games but damn did I love Warcraft 2.

I played that game way too much and I was absolutely horrible at it.

Didn't care. Would rage and start another game. Repeat.

People would even peon rush me.

I was bad.

Super Mario Bros is under rated. It revolutionized platformers and revitalized the video game industry and yet everyone rates it so poorly.

Dont get me started on the Legend of Zelda for the NES
I dont get why everyone hates it. I personally think its a good game.

What else is under rated guys?

Ultima IV and V

My first webpage ever was a Warcraft 2 fan site. Here's a wayback machine version of it (https://web.archive.org/web/20001204145400/http://gamerhaven.hypermart.net/War2/otactics.htm) (no cool 90's black lightning background, so you'll just have to imagine it ;)).

Pro-tip:

Use farms instead of walls. They provide food and protection at the same time, they have more strength than walls, and they are the only type of wall you can build in a single-player game. They only time you should ever use regular walls is if you are really short on time or money.

It also had (what I thought at the time at least) was the best collection of custom maps on the web. Oh the nostalgia!

I'm going to reinstall Warcraft 2 and use your guide to finally be good at the game.

so cool! and cute. you're a very loveable doof :)

I never played WC2. There wasn't a mac release iirc. Or my Dad didn't buy it. I remember the one time I saw it in person, looking over my neighborhood friend's cool high school aged brother's shoulder. It must have meant a lot 'cuz I don't tend to remember things like that. I thought it looked cool and wicked/edgy. Your screenshots sorta bear that out; the ogres are cooool.

Same reason some folks like to trash McDonald's: Popularity can make something a target. On top of that, younger gamers will be looking at these games compared to newer games which learned from them. When the NES came out, all most of us who were around back then had seen before were things like PONG or Atari games. The NES was revolutionary.

Have you ever done the swordless challenge for The Legend of Zelda? You play through the original game without ever picking up the sword. You can play through the entire game that way, up to Ganon, though you cannot defeat him. It's an interesting and tough take on an old classic.

------------------------------

I didn't much like Warcraft 3. I think it placed too much emphasis on the "hero" characters, although that emphasis led to the creation of a new game genre as some modder or another got the notion to simply remove the remainder of the armies and let the hero characters duke it out.
