How did they struck gold 3 times in a row?

How the fuck did Blizzard create 3 10/10 games in a row? How?

diablo was made by another company
warcraft is a warhammer ripoff
starcraft had warcraft as a solid base to build off of and the story and characters are very light, the highlight is the gameplay which was blizzard's expertise and the races are just human, weird aliens and tyranid from 40k nothing groundbreaking
there's not a lot of originality in there if you look at it closely

It's more amazing how they managed to ruin all 3 franchises.

>>738601518
diablo was sort of by a different company that joined blizz for resources. that's why d3 and 4 were ass.
warcraft and starcraft are basically the same thing done well twice.
i hope we can forget about this company.

I mean, it's the same genre, but they're very different games. Especially with WC3 going in a different direction entirely

>>738601518
They used to have developers that made the games they wanted to play themselves

everything is a finger-painting ripoff, ENOUGH with the retarded reductionism

I guess it really was Diablo and Games Workshop sleeping on video games

the ripoff in question: orcs being green
>>
>>738604536
Warhammer is rip-off of everything. Not a single original thing in it.
>>
>>738601780
true. shitters weren't playing wc2 when it first came out, so they compare it to wc3.

Only 2 of these were cool. Warcraft is so fucking cringe and ugly

The music in WC2 is fucking epic. He probably prefers it because of that.

How does it compare? Is it more basic like the OG CnCs?
>>
>>738607239
The simplicity of the setting was nice. Just orcs vs humans (with other others in the background). WarCraft 3 obviously was hugely affected by the MMO currently being designed.
>>
>>738607527
That was 6 years later

>>738607239
You're saying that as if WC3 doesn't have some fantastic music as well. Hell, that's even true for WoW. At least back in classic/TBS/WotLK

It's like a rougher WC3 without heroes. More polished than classic C&C, but not as much as SC. I never really liked the campaign, as it leans too much toward giving the enemy too many resources to make up for the stupid AI. The missions are also quite repetitive. I wouldn't really recommend it

WoW was about to be third person action adventure game in the beginning; then they binned Ghost and decided to double down making WoW an MMO.
>>
>>738607527
The introduction of the undead makes sense, since a real villain was needed to conclude the story. In WC1 orcs won, in WC2 humans won and in WC3 both should win.

It was the introduction of the elves that was unneccessary.
>>
>>738608440
I guess they wanted a race that were more focused on the demons and undead, since the orcs and humans has only been fighting each other for so long. Or maybe they just didn't want another RTS with 3 factions
>>
>>738601518
But Diablo was the only good series Blizzard ever had. The rest is for blizzdrones.

The only reason 2 is better than 3.
Why are zoomers not milking the mission breifing trope they they milk psx graphics?
>>
>>738601518
Because they had talent back then. These companies think they can ride into millions of dollars and success just on their brand name these days. Blizzard, Bungie, you name it are all devoid of talent now yet still believe whatever shit they peddle will be a huge success.

You'd be surprised to find out how many good ideas for games you have when you don't have a "consultant" or HR lardwhale yelling in your ear telling you it's sexism or problematic.
>>
HotS was the last good game Blizzard made.
>>
>>738609434
What I was wondered is why the names of the races never really related to the units of said race. Like Humans are a mix of humans, dwarves, and elves or Orcs are orc, troll, and Tauren. The only race that is majority the same are undead, and they still have 2 demon units as well.
>>
>>738615024
Even back in WarCraft 2 it was Alliance vs Horde, but Orcs and Humans were clearly in the forefront.
>>
>>738615024
That's just a simplification for the players. Instead of giving each faction a unique name (e.g. Horde, Alliance, Sentinels, Forsaken), they used the primary species. If you look at StarCraft's map editor, you only see the terrain-type names despite each of them only ever being used for a single planet in the campaign. So instead of Auir you get Jungle World, and instead of Char you get Ash World. All the factions in WC3 have other names in the lore

It's like Nazi Germany having Italian or Finnish divisions in their wars. Just because they aren't technically German, doesn't mean they aren't fighting on the German side.
>>
>>738615314
For the Humans at least, the wars are centered in their lands, though 2 does feature some fighting around Khaz Modan's holdings, and 3 see's the vast majority of Elven lands desecrated. The Orcs are the majority of the Horde, even into 3, there is enough Orcs for them to fight roughly 4 wars en route to their participation in the third war proper, including a minor civil war. The Trolls weren't even among the original Horde until they got to Azeroth, and the Ogres were always a minority.

40k copied the Zerg for the current iteration of the Tyrannids. The original Nids were basically uglier GSC.
