Title: Christmas Dilemma
Description: Do not enter unless you know Santa!

Yeah.... I have to pick between Warcraft III & Diablo II.

I have played Warcraft before and I like the game, but I have never played Diablo II before. That's the main reason I'm asking for you all's opinions.

So...vote away!

Sir Maverick - December 12, 2004 07:43 PM (GMT)
I voted Diablo II, but I'd actually advise buying the Diablo battle chest. Diablo is awesome, and doesn't require as much from your comp.

Blade - December 12, 2004 07:45 PM (GMT)
How do you get items in Diablo? A friend of mine told me that you get items by killing, but do you also have a chance to earn them by performing tasks like cutting wood and mining & stuff?

Sir Maverick - December 12, 2004 07:47 PM (GMT)
IF there's cutting wood & mining, I never got around to doing it...I just killed...I need to get my own copy of the game...*eyes Kazaa* To pirate or not to pirate....

Blade - December 12, 2004 07:50 PM (GMT)
Hmm ... I like more strategy like mining, smithing, woodcutting, etc. than just killing tihngs to get items. If such a thing exists in Diablo, then I may be interested.

MrGuy - December 12, 2004 09:49 PM (GMT)
Mining... in Diablo?

LMAO.

Diablo II isn't an RTS game like Warcraft 3, it's an RPG. You buy, kill things, and gain levels and abilities in Diablo II. In Warcraft 3, you build men and stuff by harvesting resources and then you fight with them.

I hate the blocky looking style of Warcraft 3, so I recommend Diablo II with the Lord of Destruction Expansion Pack.

*EDIT* If you want a good RTS game get Age of Mythologies.

World of Warcraft! Diablo is dying, War 3 might stay alive but i can't be sure, and Zoids... Well, there not very interactive.

Wolven Zero - December 12, 2004 10:16 PM (GMT)
You want to get... Eve-Online!

There's a 14-day trial which you can get from... here. Bare in mind you need to get the latest version of the game from the Eve-Online site, around 450mb. Or.. you could go to Amazon or game store to buy Eve-Online and a 30-day time which comes with it.

Still very good, very fun game, and, I would love to destroy you with my Kestrel, which, may I add, is packed full of missiles and missile launchers. :P

Blade - December 13, 2004 01:28 AM (GMT)
By Zoids I meant models.

Thank you all on your opinions; I have bought Warcraft's "Battle Chest" which comes with Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne plus strategy guides for both (heh and only 40 USD).

Heh, Diablo is an RPG...I didn't know that. I was more lenient towards Warcraft anyways since I liked it in the first 30 mins I played it lol.

Well if you haven't figured, I like RTS more than RPG...especially those who know I play Runescapefor hours....

Steel, what kind of game is Eve-Online?

Tilly - December 13, 2004 02:20 AM (GMT)
I wonder what Tilly voted for?

Zoids, of course.

Fg-Dark_Monk - December 13, 2004 02:39 AM (GMT)
Didn't even mention me... WoW was a good choice, but Diablo isn't realy a good RPG, sure it's a RPG but WoW is a MOMRPG (massive online role playing game) it has a variety of servers and i barly get lag even with my low amount of RAM. But you prolly have to buy a grafics card, but Blade somone told me you ahve a job so it shouldn't be too hard to afford. I bought a Geforce4 4000 easilly.

Illidan - December 13, 2004 10:25 AM (GMT)
Diablo 2 is extremely old. It was okay when it was released.. but don't get it now. Too much cheating and hacking, too.

Plus, Warcraft 3 owns. Get Warcraft 3 battle chest, you want The Frozen Throne too. Like $15 for the whole set. Now..

With Warcraft 3 you can play online with me! and I can teach you how to play and own people at it. There are few people I cannot teach you how to own if you have basic micro and good logical thinking skills.


Blade - December 13, 2004 06:13 PM (GMT)
Ok thanks Illidan, I'll get around to playing online after Christmas (yeah I gotta play along with my 7-year-old sis).

Fg, I don't have a job, but I have a new computer so graphics and sound cards are no concerns on my part.

Wolven Zero - December 13, 2004 06:56 PM (GMT)
Eve-Online is a MMORPG, Blade.

Kirbymaster212 - December 13, 2004 09:43 PM (GMT)
OMFG... its Kirby... no I didnt die...

anyway... either WoW or the Warcraft Battlechest... warcraft isnt warcraft with out cryptlords man... CRYPTLORDS MAN! Oh and... thats why WoW needs a nerubian race!

Blade - December 13, 2004 11:02 PM (GMT)
Well I got the BAttle Chest, so it's all good.

What type of MMORPG is it Steel?

Fg-Dark_Monk - December 13, 2004 11:16 PM (GMT)
I'm up for challege's on War3 as long as i remember to pick my race unlike the fight with Illidan...

*shovel2urcrotch*

You World of Warcraft fanboy...:P I played it at my friend's house...it's just like every other MMORPG I've seen so far...

btw, Diablo II is VERY old, you can easily download it off of WinNY if you want it that badly...

and i got bored of Runescape long ago...I didn't think anyone would still play it....All I ever did was make Adamantium weapons and sold them to n00bs for everything they owned...

Fg-Dark_Monk - December 13, 2004 11:45 PM (GMT)
WoW is the best MOMRPG BOW TO IT"S GREATNESS!

i will if you can give me 10 non-fanboy inspired reasons why...meaning, what makes it different from othre MMORPGs??? and if you're gonna look at it as the best MMORPG, at least spell it right...

Blade - December 14, 2004 05:01 PM (GMT)
Hey guys, I think the purpose of this thread has expired...I believe it has been that way for a couple of days now.....

Wolven Zero - December 14, 2004 06:18 PM (GMT)
Eve-Online Link, Blade!

EDIT: 14-day trial! (Note, download the game from the Eve site, not the 14-day trial page!)

Cherry - December 14, 2004 08:30 PM (GMT)
SWG is the best MMORPG btw..either that or EverQuest 2
