Titan · July 2002

dugeon siege
or
Warcraft 3<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?

1st: Those are two completly different games.
2nd: Warcraft III

If you like RPG then NWN is still better than DS.
But when choosing between DS and WIII it is W3

DOOManiac · July 2002

war3, definately, though i highly recommend both :)

DS is a nice hack-and-slash RPG. basically its what diablo 2 shoulda been ;) its really cool. but its not a traditional "in depth" rpg, so if that's what you're looking for don't bother with it. it is very fun and has some quite unique things to it (levelling based on the skills you actually use ROCKS).

but unless you just hate RTS games, get warcraft iii, as it is the best game to come out in a long, long time.

Agree with DOOManiac:
I've never played Dungeon Siege but Warcraft III is definately the BEST rts-game that you can get.

War3.

DS is too linear, boring, tedious, and an action game, not an RPG. If you want a -real- RPG, get NWN.

War3 is a tad easy on Normal difficulty, but you can always increase it.

There is no comparison. WarCraft III is THE game to own.

DS was fun...the demo that is, but after that demo was over, nothing special.

Biomechanoid · July 2002

like sono said, you can't compare them, and NWN beats the crap outta DS in the RPG category (DS is more of an action title)

But... WC3 is just badassed. beat the game on teh hard difficulty for a special cinematic at the end. oh, and the computer AI in LAN games is next to impossible unless your the undead and fortify your base with dozens (literally) of those ziggurats and sweep their base with dragons, meat wagons, and abominations (er... I think I just gave away my only tactic that I know of. d'oh&#33<img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

Meat wagons ownzor so badly.

DOOManiac · July 2002

YES!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Skirmish AI is horribly overpowered.

The damn thing cheats :X The AI *ALWAYS* knows exactly where your base and troops are. They can intriciately control all their units at once, making it so that as soon as one unit gets hit it goes to the back of the ranks, making it near impossible to get ahold of even one unit before it gets healed up. Also I've noticed many many times that the AI seems to just have troops teleport him (no, he doesn't have the mass teleporting capable hero yet either).

Yet the AI isn't smart enough to attack airborn creeps (dragons)...

skirmish AI is just bad. they need to release a patch to tone down the difficulty (make it adjustable)

the_stalker · July 2002

yea, i say both of them are good

MooMoo_the_SnowCow · August 2002

I haven't played DS but I have Warcraft 3 and it is a very good game.

Battousaix · August 2002

bleh i do the undead strategy...... u fill the base with ziggurats and u make like 10 frost wyrms..... and they are dead......
also, if u play stormguarde, u can just blow off the bridges with the meatwagons, and then u can go all air <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
to blow the bridges u gotta make the meatwagons, catapults or any type of siege weapon u got to atack it.... and after some minutes...... the bridge goes down <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Umbrella_Master · August 2002

Dungeon siege is fun... if you enjoy not doing anything. The main problem with DS is the characters on your side are !too! smart. Yes, too smart. You can click a button, and the characters will almost do everything for you. Yes, I know you can NOT click the button and play normally but even then the gameplay is a bit tedious. Warcraft 3... its pretty good. :-)

Gencide · August 2002

Yeah, I think the A.I in WC3 is pretty overpowered too. I've beaten it a total of 2 whole times out of about 20 tries <img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I guess I got lucky. The comp is a micromanaging beast.

DarkAssassin · August 2002

the computer is challenging, but not impossible... the computer can be challening at times, but, unless you know what you are doing, you can win every time... that mean heroes, spell-casters, and different strats to overcome the computer...

MooMoo_the_SnowCow · August 2002

Well if you want a real rpg that is very non-linear Morrowind is the way to go. Just don't forget the patches and you should have a really good system to play it.

Freemantle · August 2002

Am I the only person who thought the WarcraftIII CGM's sucked compared to the DiabloII CGM's?

Gencide · August 2002

CGM?

MarthMaster4sho · August 2002

I like Dungeon Siege more because its long and entertaining.

Dunsby · August 2002

are there any mmorpgs out that are good + dont cost any money per month?

Taylor · August 2002

What do MMORPG's have to do with anything in this topic?

Dungeon Siege is a 3D-diablo.. with less players and a repulsive server browser, single player is cool because you handle a load of characters, however this is flawed greatly because the moment one bites the dust, yay! their items spill out on the floor, even better is when two people die, and you get to spend the next half an hour finding out who had what. NWN is superiour in everyway except DS has more versitle levels (in the editor at least, DS is so linear it's unbelievable).

WC3, I played the beta, it's not something I wish to repeat, it bored the hell out of me and I'm sure the gameplay caused me physical pain. But the final product is probably better, hell in the first release of the demo, before any major patches, playing as the night elves assured your victory from the offset -- but now my friend swears by it and he's one who's very quick to dish out hate.

So, WC3 I don't really know anything about, but I'd deeply consider NWN instead of DS, in fact, don't consider, not
even deeply, just remove and thoughts of getting DS outright and focus on WC3/NWN.
