    Not really. Warcraft III was a big disappointment to me.

    Booo Warcraft III is a great game, it is just too unblanced at times <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I can't wait. Those new heroes are going to change EVERYTHING. Plus, the new units. Even if it's 2 per race like in Blizz's other expansions, coupled with the hero, that's a LOT of new strategy.

    I'm excited. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> I don't play War3 anymore because I like NS more, and I only have time to play 1 game. I still love War3 though.

    BTW, my friends' AT played in.Tillerman's a few days ago. They got their butts kicked <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I am both excited and not excited. War3 was fun for a while, but didn't make as much of a lasting impression on me as SC did. The single player also felt WAY too PG. I'm also still kinda nerfed at blizzard for not making the next SC game PC.

    go the way of the N64?

    dominate (or at least hold its own in) the market for a decently long time till the next gen of platforms comes out?

    metroid prime is a golden classic that'll last a lifetime. :) i'm looking forward to ghost too...

    As for war3 expansion: OMG PWN! I just hope they don't make even the first mape just insanely hard like what they did w/ the war2 expansion...
  • FlatlineUTDFlatlineUTD Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7695Members
    Warcraft II made a much bigger impression on me than SC or War3 did. I got bored of SC relatively quickly, and War3 got overshadowed by NS... but I STILL play War2 occasionally.

    I don't have my ancient p200 pro with its cracked WC2 (I didn't put it there, plz don't close for warezsp33k), but my dad has the bnet edition, so I play that occasionally. It is still a lot of fun. So are the original C&C games (C&C, Red Alert, RA2 is also good and much better than TS).

    The N64 had a large ammount of good games come out in the first few monthes/year, but as the gap between big games and small ones began to grow, less companies ported their games over to it. I own about 15 N64 games. Co-incidentally, they're the only ones worth owning.

    Give it another year, gamecube will be in the same boat.

    Erm... and... Yeah, Warcraft is cool, just to be on-topic.

    Lately that has been true, but most of the console games are either form the Comp or are going to the comp.

    ID software still owns you all!

    Blizzard should make the sequal to primal rage that game was the coolest fighting game of its time. Common you could eat villagers while fighting! If they made a 3d version like mortal kombat deadly alliance it would be the pwns.
  • Dirty_Harry_PotterDirty_Harry_Potter Join Date: 2002-11-21 Member: 9500Members
    primal rage, i brough a long time ago, but a couldn't do all the mones/tricks, and i was following them just like in the manual. but otherwise it was atually pretty cool <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
    but i would more like to see:
    a remake of moonstone and master of magic
    i know age of wonders is kind of a remake of master of magic, but it seems wrong somehow.

    By releasing Quake 3? I think not! That was the blandest, most overhyped tech demo ever (Diakatana doesn't even count as that, as it is just too bad). I'm starting to think that Carmack is only a master scientist and programmer, and not a good game designer. Doom 3 looks really cool, so if it isn't as terribly simplistic as Q3A I will quickly change my mind.

    The Spellbreaker had one skill button in the screenies, but your site says it has two. Hrm.

    Edit: They said their info came from Infocepter. So I check it out, and find this:

    Banish: Target unit becomes invulnerable and invisible, but cannot attack for 30s. This spell is excellent in conjunction with Paladin's Devine Shield. Think invincible Paladin.

    When I think invincible paladin, I think devine shield, not banish. Say again? If whoever wrote these can't spell "no" (elsewhere on the page), I sort of doubt the info. Not like I'm saying Infocepter is bad: Th3y Rox0r J00r Boxors!
