Today's Recipe: Making Warcraft 3

[Joneagle_X]

1/2 cup of Lord of the Rings
2 TBPS Paprika
0 cups strategy
3 races that try to be StarCraft
4 cups Heroes
4 cups Richard Simmons
1 Dildo
3 Bay Leaves(Gay Leaves?)

Mix in a large bowl and blend until sufficiently gay and bereft of any value, and you have Warcraft 3.

Bake at 350 for an hour and then leave the CD on your shelf for all eternity where it belongs.

Additional Note:

In order to prepare World of Warcraft which requires two servings, double all ingredients and serve in color coordinated ramekins.

Dude, don't bash Warcraft so much; if you remember, Warcraft was existent before StarCraft was even thought of. You say it's "gay" just because it resembles StarCraft in a few ways. Well, that's because it is made by the same people, who take pride in making the best RTS games known to man. Warcraft is just a a fantasy version of StarCraft, and vice versa. I played quite a bit of Warcraft before I started playing StarCraft a lot. I still enjoy a good game of Warcraft 3, and I do the same with StarCraft. Yes, I do think StarCraft is better than Warcraft, but I give WC3 the respect it deserves, so don't bash things without giving them a more reasonable approach.

[Joneagle_X]

Way to have a sense of humor. Notice I didn't say anything about WC or WC2. Those games were fine. But their introduction of heroes makes it equivalent to a Richard Simmons shake.

[MarineCorp]

wow WC3's recipe sounds...gay ;D i like WC3 it's good i don't think it's bad it has a very different gameplay to the other games and it has a quite unique gameplay which is micromanagement micromanagement and of course micromanagement ^_^ but overall it is a excellent game in my opinion the battle.net is very good with the team play and i love this kind of multiplayer and the custom games are better than SC in my opinion but however after all that explanation how i like WC3, i like SC better ha ha ;D

[Joneagle_X]

Lol... who wouldn't like SC better.

I'm just saying I think the heroes takes away a lot from the gameplay. They could have made them less game-changing.

Of course, my dislike could come from my inability to win using them. Lol.

[paragon]

brilliant except it's 4 races not 3.

though you forgot to add:
2 cups moldy reused plot from the back of the fridge
and
1 cup abandoning the original two


and my dislike does not come from an inability to win because I got to level 27 easy just to show someone how easy it was and then quit playing because it's s**tyness was too much to bear.

[Itsmyship]

The custom games weren't half bad though. Other than that...not a big fan.

[paragon]

they were all bad not half bad

[Itsmyship]

*shrug* WC3 just kinda occupied me during my early times of getting into computer games...so at that time I didn't have much to gauge it on

[paragon]

haha wc3 broke your video game flower. thats like first banging a fat chick just to get laid.

[Nuclear Launch]

Now the recipe for starcraft 2:

1 drop of starcraft
1 drop of brood war
2 tons of warcraft 3
50kg of C&C

Just kidding, but it has some truth in my joke

[Itsmyship]

Well when you put it THAT way Paragon... :P

[[LightMare]]

@ Joneagle

noob, much? warcraft 3 beats starcraft 1 and brood war anyday. it must be because you suck balls at rts that you can't see the greatness that is Warcraft 3


Edited out quotes. Please read the forum rules and refrain from quoting unnecessarily.

[paragon]

I'm good at WC3 and RTS games in general and I know that WC3 sucks balls. and requires limited skill.

Also, don't quote longer than what you write

[danhillman693]

I'd give it 9 out of 10. Online is okay only for custom maps, but ladder matches are not that great. They seem to drag.

[Joneagle_X]

@ Lightmare Yea. I suck at RTS. That's why I play Starcraft, because it's just SO MUCH INFERIOR TO THE ABILITY REQUIRED IN WC3 *cries at his inadequateness*.

BTW, never say "you suck the balls" in any context to my face. You probably won't survive with all of your limbs. (I keep a Gauss rifle in my closet ;). The fact that it's not real is irrelevant.)

Also, I do give Blizzard credit for making their custom games good enough that I didn't laugh too hard.

Heroes will ruin any game.

@paragon I meant only 3 races were trying to imitate races from SC, but I also completely overlook the Orcs when I even think about WC3 because they're EXACTLY the same as the humans... OH WAIT, ALL the races are the SAME!!!!

BTW, never compare SC and C&C. Just because units share some capabilities and similar designs doesn't mean they're stealing or using ideas. How many futuristic weapons can you come up with? Seriously.

@ Lightmare again, I'm going to go to the nearest Salvation Army, buy a bunch of Richard Simmons workout tapes, and install them in all your media playing devices if you ever insinuate that I am gay in any way ever again.

[DontHate]

tbh i don't see why it takes little skill. there still is a lot of micro involved, and strategy. it's fun online, becuase you WORK AS A TEAM, which is something you almost never do in sc. (if you doubt that then you're lying... starcraft has almost no teamwork... or at least not on the same level as wc3) I don't understand how there is no skill invovled... you still need to micro/macro, and make strategic decisions... Expansions aren't really required so it's different than starcraft which isn't always bad. and so what if the races "try to be like starcrafts"... they're still pretty balanced and how's it bad if it tries to be like a great game... it still is a good game.
*puts on flame retardant suit*

btw... WoW is fun, and i'm sure the only people that don't like it are the people who can't afford to play it :O. jk.

[Joneagle_X]

WoW is fun if you like Diablo 2.

EDIT: I think everyone can pretty much agree that in general the gameplay from StarCraft kicks the crap out of Warcraft 3.

The only reason to play WC3 is if you liked the old games, are a huge fantasy fan (therefore you like the Night Elves ;)), or you've never played StarCraft (or you're freaking tired of the same gameplay and the cruddy graphics).

I don't recall WC3 earning anywhere NEAR the amount of awards that StarCraft did. And I don't recall it being one of the best games ever.

[[LightMare]]

just stop bashing WC3. paragon needs to see the light. warcraft beats starcraft 1. warcraft isn't in any way fit to vs. starcraft 2. but in terms of gameplay, design, and flow of the game, warcraft 3 beats starcraft. also, a video option is crutial to people who have 24 inch monitors *wink wink nudge nudge*

[burkid]

WoW is fun if you like Diablo 2.

i love diablo 2. SC is secondary to diablo 2 for me.
dont compare WoW and diablo. WoW makes you pay and is highly addictive and sucks. Diablo 2 doesnt make you pay and kicks ass.


The only reason to play WC3 is if you liked the old games, are a huge fantasy fan or you've never played StarCraft (or you're freaking tired of the same gameplay and the cruddy graphics).

I played SC before WC3. I love SC. i love WC3. both are great games. but they are of a slightly different genre. SC is straight RTS, and WC3 is an RTSRPG. because WC3 wasnt a straight RTS, people either love it or hate it. you (obviously) hate it, but that doesnt mean everyone else does too. state your opinion without derogitory terms.


I don't recall WC3 earning anywhere NEAR the amount of awards that StarCraft did. And I don't recall it being one of the best games ever.

i dont recall ever getting a game or hating it for someone i dont even knows opinion. awards are like movie ratings, you should never base an opinion off of them. and just because it wasnt "one of the best games ever" doesnt mean it sucks.

[Joneagle_X]

Ehh burkid this is an old thread. You guys are crazy.

Anyway, I didn't talk about it in derogatory terms. I was joking that it's substandard from SC. Which I feel it is. WC is supposed to be the original RTS, they kinda of betrayed that what with all the heroes.

Also, awards mean quite a lot in the game world. If you win game of the year you're at least decent. It's not like movies where it's solely a few people's opinions. It is generally based on popular opinion.

Also, when I said you're tired of the cruddy graphics, I was actually referring to SC, not WC3. I didn't really talk about it in derogatory terms other than the intial post, which was simply a joke. :P

[burkid]

ah. ok. my mistake. no hard feelings.

i didnt realize how old this thread was, it was at the top of my updated threads.

Are you kidding me? WC3 < SC1. The only thing WC was better at than SC was the map editor and the custom games. In actual gameplay, it sucked.

[-LT-]

Warcraft3 was a great game! :P 8)

[DontHate]

WoW's a great game and so is warcraft... it's funny becuase most people here hate WoW becuase it's "highly addictive" which isn't a bad thing at all... and it "makes you pay"... i don't see why making people pay for a great games makes the game any worse. If you can't play the game you can't say it sucks.

[burkid]

i used to play wow. its pretty bad, but it is addicting. you dont even know how bad it is till you go cold turkey for a few months. then youre like "sh*t... that game sucked!"
but yes, WC3 is a good game.

[Major Willy]

Warcraft 3 is only good for custom and fiddling with units.
DotA is Warcraft 3's AIDs. It's everywhere and can't be cured.

WoW is meh... until you realized how bad it really is.
I'd be shocked if I'm the only one that doesn't like being told where to move my polygons by either:
A 16 year old that thinks he's the greatest.
A 40 year old that has nothing better to do in his spare time but lead a bunch of virtual warriors.
An 8 year old that makes you want to shoot babies so none of them turn into your raid leading kid leader.

[burkid]

WoW has made me hate teens and younger.

[Major Willy]

...I hope I'm a special teen in your "do not kill" category.

Also, if someone makes a SC2 DotA I will personally track them down and use their Starcraft 2 CD key to brutally murder them so the cops have to track down over 700 pieces of the victim.

[burkid]

i didnt say i want to kill them, its just they act like they are superior because they have the time to put 12 hours a day into a game so they know everything inside and out when they should be doing something like homework. and they have no common sense!

BTW, speaking of killing, did i mention i got my black belt in tae kwon do today? ;)

[LordKerwyn]

First off dont go bashing teens not all of us are arrogant SOBs hell bent on the domination of a virtual world.

Second i think WC3 is a good paralel (aparantly i cant spell today) game to SC1. Becuase when your tired of comanding 200 zerglings and fighting spacecraft you can take a break and go command 2-3 heros against an army. Also the WC3 map editor is just awsome by comparrison to SC1's map editor. (thats actaully one of the reason i cant wait for SC2 to come out)

Third I have spent enough time playing WoW to know its a good but very addicting game that can get repetive if your not careful but its still fun to ambush a few unsuspecting lowbies with an epic flyer and lots of fire spells. ( 70 mage main btw) But on that same token i havnt been playing WoW much since finding out about this site and all the information pertaining to SC2.

[burkid]

First off dont go bashing teens not all of us are arrogant SOBs hell bent on the domination of a virtual world.

Oh, i know. but the vast majority have no patience and beleive that they are superior at everything because they have a lvl 70 in WoW.

[Metathron]

What's with all the negativity towards Warcraft? Poking a little fun is fine, but it seems to go beyond just that. I have never played WoW, but I can safely say that Warcraft 3 is a damn marvellous game deserving of the highest accolades, and I would put it side by side with Starcraft. *gasp* :o

[LordKerwyn]

I would guess some pople (not all and probally not the majority) see the warcraft universe as the favored sibling of the blizzard games because alot of stuff has been released for it while stacraft hasnt had much new stuff for the last 10 years.

[Joneagle_X]

Favored sibling? More like treated as the only child.

It's been 9 years since even the SC expansion pack...

[LordKerwyn]

They still do patches for starcarft....... nevermind only child. :)

[Joneagle_X]

Yea.. the HAND ME DOWN patches.

StarCraft is like Cinderella. It's the hottest anyway but it gets crap just because its father died.

[burkid]

joneagle, that cinderella reference is amazing.

Metathron, not everyone bashes on WC3, check the previous page (page2) and there are more pro-WC3 posts than the other 2 pages.

[Major Willy]

Warcraft 3 is fine.

The frustrating bit of it is going through EVERY UNIT just to cast one spell.
Oh and rushes. Warcraft has some brutal rushes.

[JBL]

Warcraft was actually created so some nerds can make Dota.

[burkid]

i never could get into Dota, never could get into the games and if i did i would get kicked because i never learned how to play. haha.

[DontHate]

me too. imo dota is very boring and dumb. kill creeps... occasionally fight the enemies... kill creeps... and repeat.
Warcraft is fun tho.

[MarineCorp]

For some reason...i get kicked in dota as i just joined in i really do not know why probably the Dota team hates me :upset:

[Wlck742]

Probably your connection or something.

I love DotA.

[DontHate]

rofl no. they auto kick anyone who doesn't have the map. get it at getdota.com

[Major Willy]

Whenever somebody mentions DotA in real life I go into a foaming rage like a Nam veteran.
