There is no way in the world that any serious gamer can pick Relic over Blizzard, even when highly intoxicated. DoW2 is the biggest lump of shit that i've ever seen to be called a "game" in my life.

Ahhh well the fact that Blizzard is losing just goes to show how far the gaming community has fallen.... People nowadays seem to care more about flashy lights and "innovation" more than having an actual game to play.

So I read a blog a few weeks back on DOWII. Heck there was even this one guy in school who respects starcraft as a game but was excited for DOWII. So I decide to download it and I'm glad I did.

That game is slow. I played for 15 min in the single player campaign, quit the game, uninstalled and never looked back.

Sometimes I wish I never played starcraft, there is no RTS that is fun to me. Empire total war looks epic but looks so slow. I guess that's what happens with WOW players, they can't play another mmorpg if it isn't wow.

See thats the thing, and In bringing up the argument of DoW vs Starcraft (altho starcraft is DUH the better game) it also brings up the subtle argument of Games Workshop vs Blizzard, in wich blizzard straight up RIPPED sc from wh40k and warcraft from warhammer fantasy. Seriously, Warcraft 1 was supposed to be a warhammer RTS, then it got changed later.

Depends on your personal criteria of determining what the better company is really. Good and bad could be said of both. Blizzard made some huge breakthroughs, but sadly, most of the original talent that brought those breakthroughs left, and the remaining new staff has just been riding the success of the name. Think of the breakout amazing things they did, Warcraft, Starcraft Diablo. and what games are on the horizon ? Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. come on. I won't get into the positives because they're abundantly clear, and most have already been posted.

Relic on the other hand, is actually attempting very new things, if you look at what they've done from DoW1 (taken the basic build/gather rts) to CoH (Completely redone the idea of "massing troops and sending them to their deaths") to DoW2, they really are innovative and doing well in pushing for new things.

Ripped what?
Orcs and elves? Or I should start claiming GW ripped famous fantasy authors and myths?
Not to mention that WH40K is exactly fantasy copy pasted in space(oh, the overwhelming originality is killing me!), they even have orcs in there ffs, and "orcs in space" was the biggest insult SC(and Blizzard) has ever received and it made them fucking start the game again from scratch.
I bet you'll mention Tyranids, but guess what tyranids didn't look anything like zerg before the 3rd edition, which completely incidentally(!) came out after starcraft.
