Anyone play WC3?

[Guest EricMM]

Hey I was just wondering... How good Warcraft 3 has been to y'all. I haven't boughten it or anything, but it looks really fun. I am very interested but it would be quite an investment in terms of space and money etc. SO does anyone have impressions?

 

I do wanna be sold on it but if it's sucking lemme know too.

It looks alright but it's pretty unbalanced.

I still don't have it. I'm a fairly big Blizzard fan (as you can probably tell from my avatar), but I haven't gotten it yet because a) I haven't finished WC2 (I'll probably get it regardless of this though) and b) I don't have enough time to play the games I DO have. I still haven't finished System Shock 2, Deus Ex or Fallout 2, plus I want to get Jedi Knight 2 eventually. Maybe I'll get WC3 when it goes on sale at Best Buy or something, because I'd like to get in on some of that action.

I play/pirated the demo and I really wasn't that impressed. There's really not a lot of excitement, which is something that I can't fathom for an RTS...but somewhere along the way from StarCraft, the thrill just kind of died.

 

The interface is too clean, the graphics are too pretty...it's like Blizzard focused more on presentation than game design.

 

I wasn't impressed.

AreaCode, if i were you, i'd focus on Fallout 2. Were are you in the game? Isn't it uber great

What the hell does "Uber" mean?

[Guest The Man in Blak]

uber = the very definition of, IIRC.

 

Therefore, uber-cool is "the very definition of cool".

I'm sure Fallout 2 is extremely uber (I think "uber" means "super" or "over"), but I haven't even started it! I've decided to play Fallout 1 over, so I can try some different paths, THEN I'll go ahead and start on Fallout 2.

surely everyone has heard the beer commercial where they are making fun of german everything except beer? They're like "Germans don't do fast food well.."

 

"Jah, I will haff the burger, ze fries, and vould you uber size it?"

 

I was working at subway when I first heard it I almost ROFL'd right there.

Well, I just bought a new copy of Warcraft III ($25) from the Uber Pawn Shop of Awesomeness. Yes, I still have cred as a Blizzard fan! So once I get some substantial play time, I'll be posting my opinions of the game here.

[Guest areacode212]

So...from what little of it that I've played (very little...I stopped right at the point after you learn how to build barracks & shit, and the humans start attacking), it basically seems like Warcraft II with nice graphics and a slight Diablo II-ish RPG element for your heroes (they get experience and can pick up mana potions & rings, etc.). Lumber yards are now called war mills, and farms also have a different name.

 

And to answer the burning question I'm sure you all must have.....yes, critters still explode when you click on them multiple times (the explosion is nice & bloody, too).

 

Maybe I'll play a little bit more tomorrow.

I still havent finished WC2...and i lost my Fallout 1 and 2 discs some im kinda pissed...and my lil cousin fucked up my puter somehow so now, whenever i install something, it wont work. No matter what it is, it wont work..i found this out after trying to play Planescape:Torment, a game ive been want to play for a while now.

 

 

do I seem bitter?
