haha you wont believe the difference between EA and blizzard

Recommended Posts

C&C 3 was made in what within a year? i found out starcraft 2 has been in production sense 2003, is there a reason EA rushes there games? just think if they would put more time into games.

blizzard wants to make the best games in the world, EA just wants money, from what ive heard and such. what are your thoughts?

Actually C&C3 has been in development on and off for a lot longer than a year. But yes they did rush it...

 

As for Blizzard yeah they don't rush their games, but it takes forever for them to come out...

 

I personally would like something in the middle, a reasonably balanced and good game that is out in a reasonable time frame. As opposed to the two extremes we have for this case....

we never knew syarcraft 2 was in developement until this yearm and they have gotten real far, i bet it will be out before christmas. it will pwn C&C 3(just the demo did) and it will obliterate the expansion.... EA only cares about money(in my opinion) EA ruins the best games.....

 

yea on and off, but actually worked on it.... they just started working on it and hey lets throw this on shelves and get it over with so we get our check!

You can think and dream all you want but this is a money driven world. EA is doing what they want. Making money. Blizzard is doing what they want, making money and making a good game. And besides, WW staff are at Petro, which they are making a kick ass game right now.

 

But EA makes more games. And it's funny that the topic is "you won't believe it.."... I do... It's Blizzard... I've believed this about Blizzard and EA for like ever. <_<

just because Blizzard make a game doesn't mean its going to be the best game ever. I mean WC3 was a good game, but other than its fanboys a lot of people don't like it. The only reason it is any good is because of the custom maps. Aside from a couple of them i cant stand the game.

The only reason it is any good is because of the custom maps. Aside from a couple of them i cant stand the game.

Where was the first?

 

Yes i admit WC3 is a fairly popular game, but without the custom maps it would be no where near its popularity. DOTA alone is more popular than vanilla WC3.

Yep. I don't like WC3 at all. My friend *was* crazy about till CS 1.6 thank God. Blizzard also wants to make money punwisp. Sure they can make a great game while they're at it. But they wouldn't do it for nothing.

 

And Alpha bear stated a fact. DotA is more popular than vanilla WC3.

EA is good in most genres, but not RTS, not without Westwood, to say the least. Blizzard, meanwhile, excels only in RPG and RTS genres, limiting their audience. And, needless to say, Blizzard is a perfectionist developer, while EA often compensates.

I have to say the best EA games I have played are on the console, then again I haven't really played any EA games on the PC just TFD and most of it was made by Westwood

I thought you were a Blizzard Fan? Anyone who's played either Starcraft or Warcraft 3 will know what DotA is.

 

OK, let me tell you. DotA stands for Defense of the Ancients which is a hugely popular custom map/mod/Game based on the AoS (Aeon of Strife) map in Starcraft. This in turn was created for Warcraft 3, and has been the template for about 10 different Varients.

 

The most popular created by Blizzard was DotA Allstars which is used religiously and has featured in the Singapore World Cyber Games 2005 national finals and in several other competitions, including the Cyberathlete Amateur League.

 

Baiscally DotA is a team game with two opposing sides. Unlike regular Warcraft III games, in which many units are controlled by the player, in DotA each player must choose or randomly select a single hero - with its own skills, strengths, and weaknesses - and control only this hero in order to achieve victory. The objective here is to destroy the opposing team's main structure (the Sentinel - The World Tree or the Scourge - The Frozen Throne), thus giving rise to the game name.

 

To reach the Ancient, each hero must defeat waves of units, structures and enemy heroes. Along the way, the player may upgrade his or her hero by defeating enemies in combat, which supplies gold and experience points. These are both necessary in order to purchase upgrades either from shops or the hero's ability list.

 

Each hero can learn three "standard" abilities, and a special "ultimate" ability in all versions. Each hero also has the fundamental attributes, Strength, Agility, and Intelligence, of which one is designated as a "primary" attribute. This combination of unique skills and the heroes' affinity for a particular attribute defines each hero's role in gameplay.

 

As for the term Vanilla it refers to a game which is basically unaltered from it's original code. In other words, it's the game as you would play it straight after installation without any patches, extra maps, mods or anything. Just pure as the day of it's release.

I've never been a huge fan of EA, but I don't think that Blizzard taking forever to make a game to the point where their sales pitch is "Hell, it's about time" really means that Blizzard is the better developer. I mean, Blizzard has pretty much had its hands full with World of Warcraft and EA is just a bigger company with more developers. Therefore it would make perfect sense if EA would take less time to develop a new game since they have the manpower.
