(Good Christ, those forums are a waste of time. And I thought TL had become dilute to some extent, but now I take the thought back.)



My same exact feelings lol

(1) Activision Blizzard vs (12) Relic
(1) Activision Blizzard 49.8% (2256)
(12) Relic 50.2% (2273)

BUHU ur com. is losing, come register! vote! and by the way all sc players = fags

- it's a simply ploy but it works, now the mongoloid rage even in me has been sparked
why so much starcraft disrespect!! @@ grrr..

- registered, voted : ) - one more for the win

- pointless or not, after so many years it's been incorporated in my genes
protect all things starcraft, no matter how dumb or futile lol

die relic, die the escapist

- so childish of me

they do have darn good articles : ) -

Some guy on that forum wrote:
Definitely Relic. In terms of the number of revolutionary and innovative titles, Blizzard and Relic are pretty much the same: Blizzard released three game-changers (Diablo, Starcraft and WoW). Relic has launched 3 as well, with one that kinda-sorta could have been (Homeworld, Dawn of War and Company of Heroes, with Impossible Creatures being the kinda-sorta). That being said, nearly ALL of Blizzard's innovation took place over 10 years ago, whereas Relic continues to push innovation to this day with DoW2 and CoH in recent memory.

Moreover, I find Relic's games deeper and more fun than Blizzard's. Starcraft was awesome... in 1997... but they never really advanced the genre after that. WCIII was more of the same, and arguably worse than SC, and SC2 looks like SC with semi-pretty graphics and a few new units.


I agree with most of this post. Nothing revolutionized things more than SC did, and that was 10+ years ago. I love sc, and will vote for Blizzard, but I haven't played DoW2. If it's as great as they say then my guess is Relic IS the better game maker.


Now, as much as I love both companies, you've overshot here a bit. Relic had only 2 revolutionary titles (Homeworld, 1999; Dawn of War, 2004), CoH was just DoW in a different setting and improved/added features, DoW II is a mixture of this two with some changes.
They're all good games, they're different from one another etc. etc.
Where Blizzard rules however is that their games come ready to play and 'complete'. While I can't say anything bad about Homeworld or CoH series, DoW (including all of its expansions) and DoW II (especially this one) are seriously lacking in the development department.
Horrendous amounts of bugs, imbalances and what not. After DoW II was released they should have fired half of their coders (ffs, in an RTS difference between 500 and 5000 damage is no minor stuff), problems with installation, gameplay, internet connection (in a game that requires it to even install/start), even with cinematics and many hardware problems with stuff this game has been especially designed to work on. I won't even go into absolute idiocy of using not one but TWO instances of third-party software required for the game.
Also, how can you release a multiplayer game with only 1v1 and 3v3 modes, no difference between random and arranged teams, no lobby and like 7 maps total.

That's the main difference between the two companies. Blizzard will sooner cut the whole project than release the game that's not complete. Also they won't release a game they don't have total control of (no third-party stuff and if a problem occurs you have to count on someone else to fix it).

I respect Relic for Homeworld and CoH, not so much for DoW and DoW II (I'm an old time tabletop player and some things in this games are just unacceptable for me).
I respect Blizzard for every single game they've released, as each one of them has provided me with a lot of entertainment over the years (maybe not WoW, but I'm not a MMO guy).

That's the main difference between the two
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

but something that HAS aged very well with SC and has allowed a very high skill cap that other games still lack is Speed. Starcraft was, and still is one of the fastest at high level play.


Are you saying a clickfest is what makes a game good?

And I wouldn't be so sure SC has the highest clicking rate either, minesweeper is pretty crazy at high level play.


Minesweeper click rate is being compared to Starcraft.

Everytime Blizzard gets a vote, relic gets another 1.5. There are bunch of more Starcraft fans in the past 4 hours as well which is kind of fishy. We'll have to use our European friends to sway it in our side before the polls close.

Quick someone just go post this on the battle.net / wow forums.... lmao

The saddest part of this imo is that relic has linked the poll on their frontpage and it's only up to like 5k votes... if only blizzard took the same liberties? .........
