Forums → Games → warcraft vs starcraft

I actually prefer Starcrafts gameplay and look but because Warcraft 3 has great custom maps I play it for fun more.

I have always preferred the magical world of orks, elves and other creatures from Tolkien's novels to a high-tech civilisations.

That is the reason I prefer Warcraft. But I must repeat after xBHWKxUSAx - the graphics of Starcraft is slightly better in my opinion.

starcraft by far.

everything looks better than wc, and all 3 raises are totally unique and balanced. while the 4 races of wc were different, i wasn't really feeling anything unique about it.

yeah, custom maps in sc were worse than wc3, but i personally really enjoy the custom maps of sc2.


plus the single player campaign is a lot better. the story is great, and i felt connected to the characters. i felt raynor's pain of loosing kerrigan, but i didnt feel anything about arthas' downfall to the undead and then to later rise as the ruler of them. (kerrigan much?)

Err... I don't see why we need an indefinate "This is better no matter what", game. They're both made by the same people (for the most part :P ).

WarCraft - Good for Lore, making medieval maps and other things to do with WoW.
StarCraft - More up to date with balanced units and unique races, probably more competitive and good lore but not as well built.

maybe i phrased my post a little weirdly. warcraft was a great game and i loved the lore on that too, but i prefer starcraft. lol i got starcraft about 2 years after i got wc3.

I grew up on StarCraft, thus, my likeness more for StarCraft. I was never really a Warcraft fan, anyways.
