And actually, after playing WoW for a while and going back to play through WCIII, you notice a lot of similarities and you can see how WoW drew a lot of the material straight from WCIII (the ! for the quests above people's heads, and really the art style too for example, plus the heroes themselves and some of the icons) |
It's sad that most people think that Warcraft 3 wasn't the precursor to WoW, nor never even existed. There was nothing more than someone asking "What you playing" me saying "Warcraft" and them saying "Oh thats that WoW game" and me just facepalming trying to explain to them the differences. It's also dishearting to see a super pro hero like Illidan be turned into a pile of in WoW that people can nearly solo.
Anyways I liked the WC3 hero system. Gave you something to do other then sit in your base and just mass units, plus it added a whole new dynamic to game. SC2 to me is just mass best units hit the other guys base before he hits you, rinse and repeat. The game play and graphics itself is pretty nice but you can almost see a dumbing down of the game now where Blizzard is trying to make the crappy players feel good and like they are pro
