[quote=aljayizer]yeah ur ryt they can't conquer all the gaming categories, i think i have been mistaken in what ive said, i get too general from my opinions. but getting more specific im sure that blizzard is still the best when it comes to Real-time-strategy.[/quote]
yup, no question about it. they are the best real-time-strategy game developer.
[quote=aljayizer]yah maybe japanese developers are way cooler than american developer especially in graphics they can create high quality graphics, but american developers can create gaming softwares that bring high impact into massive gamers. they are not just making a game! they were building a complete game with a complete theme, complete character and a complete gameplay. remember that high quality graphics is not enough to be the best software gaming developer it must be complete![/quote]
Yeah I do agree w/ that. American are leading n that field. but you see, japanese never release a massive multiplayer type of game like starcraft and COD4 which good for tournament at the first place. I dunno why they won't release one. but believe me, they are capable of doing that. I think they are more on a story-oriented type of game. I don't know what you mean of a complete game, but I see japanese games totally complete. from storyline to graphics (it even gives me a goose bump) and when it comes to innovative gameplay, japanese are leading on that.
[quote=aljayizer]have you wondered why you guys love playing warcraft or dota? how about other new online games, are you still play those games for a long period of time? blizzard games has a longer lifespan games that brought stunning gameplay to all gamers. it takes a lot of time and a lot of ideas i mean fixed ideas well balanced, well polished and well stunning when blizzards creates or innovates their game. imagine there were only three popular games in blizzard that other developers trying to excel with. they were not just software developers they were real artist making a magnificent artwork!!!![/quote]
I don't think warcraft III will last until now w/o DOTA.. at the first place DOTA is not one of Blizzard's work of art. its from independent player known as "IceFrog" if I'm not mistaken. Thanks to him and his creative and brilliant idea, warcraft III lasted longer. and ever you started playing DOTA since its first release version, I believe your aware how many bugs it was compared to the current version.
why most blizzard's game last long? for instance the starcraft, simply because they were the first to introduce a network-based real-time strategy game w/ good graphics which utilized mouse & keyboard in the PC that makes it easier and comfortable to play and usually, the first is always the best. if your aware, current philippines ragnarok online still have 8k active player compared to the other local and much better MMORPG. why do you think pRO still have huge number of players despite of out-dated graphic engine and a simple gameplay w/ many loop holes?
speaking of well balanced, well polished and well stunning game, there are lots of game who haves it. if you remember Battle Realms, BR was one of the great strategy game I played and I also believe it is much polished and well balanced game than the warcraft III. too bad it lacks publicity and Liquid Entertainment was not that well-known.. there are lots of stunning games who were not rated well due to lack of popularity.
and not to mention, stronghold, civilization and age of empire are also good strategy game though did not give a big impact to gamers.
