PREVIOUS THREAD: >>12034763This thread is dedicated to the discussion of any classic games made by Blizzard Entertainment; those being every game released from their early days as Silicon & Synapse to the release of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne (2003). Fans of Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and even older series like The Lost Vikings, Rock N' Roll Racing and Blackthorne are all welcome here.For a short history of Blizzard and a list of all their games, check out this wiki:>https://www.wikiwand.com/en/articles/List_of_Blizzard_Entertainment_games- COMMUNITY PASTEBIN -You can find custom content made by other /vr/ users, as well as download links, mods, guides and more by visiting our community pastebin:>https://pastebin.com/ireRwZBqRelax, talk and play. Let's have a good thread.
No updates this time since I don't think anybody contributed anything last thread and the pastebin links and whatnot are in pretty good shape. However I've been cycling through old OP pics the last two threads, so if somebody wants to whip up a new one for next thread then that would be groovy.
>>12054668I'll see if I can whip something up
It's Blizzin' time.
>>12054745I always forget Blizz worked on a few licensed games. Was it any good?
Play Warcraft III PvP.
>>12050990This board is a joke...
>>12054885There’s been an on-and-off effort to derail these generals with clone threads for a while now. The other one up is a wow thread, which is fine to have its own thread since op made clear this is not wow country.
>>12054865>play versus some guy, he reks me but I manage to kill his army>economy totally in shambles, know he's just gonna come back with another wave and I'm fucked>take every peasant I have and line them up to spell out "FU" for when he returns>he laughs his ass off and quits, letting me win>play another guy>he acts like a faggot the entire time>completely obliterate him, but to humiliate him I tell him I'm not going to >we stay logged into the match for over 3 days because he refuses to quit>I eventually just destroy his last buildingGood times.
>>12054889I've noticed the same thing. Every time a /cbg/ gets posted, you have either a starcraft or diablo thread pop up shortly after, and then usually one or two other tangentially related threads like "favorite RTS thread? for me it's wc3 lol" with the WC3 cover art. It's blatant at this point. I think it's either auster mining butthurt or somebody who got burned in one of the older threads trying to take revenge by obscuring the gen with copycats. Faggotry is on the rise around here.
>>12054895>somebody who got burned in one of the older threads trying to take revengeObviously it’s a butthurt autist from one of the early threads. But as far as rts threads, I don’t mind them because there are a lot of great non-Blizz rts games, and there was a real scarcity of rts threads on this board for years, generally. And the more zoomers there are here, the less rts gets discussed.
For Rock n Roll Racing fanshttps://romhackplaza.org/romhacks/rock-n-roll-racing-alternate-race-tracks-snes/
>>12054907No problem with RTS threads, just that a couple of them have been blatantly disguised "bump the bliz general off the board" slide threads
>>12054961Noticed there was a Lost Vikings hack that adds the Genesis exclusive stages into the SNES port, for fans of shoulder buttons. I really should do a LV2/Norse by Norsewest playthrough, it's tough cus SNES has the best aesthetic, PS/SS/PC has a godly voice cast. Did own the PC version and never beat it.
But why was his name Tomator? The fuck did he have to do with Tomatoes? He's just an orc.
>>12055637>Anon doesn't know about tomating
>>12055637knowing blizz they were probably getting high as fuck in the conference room while looking at concept art, and one guy said "dude what if his name was like, tomator, like a darth vader tomato or some shit haha" and they just went with it.
>>12055662Is that like gerbiling but you stick a tomato in your ass instead of a rodent? Move over Richard Gere...
>lost ANOTHER necro to diablo in d2rHow the FUCKim so RETARDED FUUUUUUUCKKKKWHY DIDN'T I PUT MY REJUV POTS IN 1 AAAAAAAAAAA
>>12056458Why would you express your own rage with an image meant to insult a person for the subject/form of their rage?
>>12056776I'm insulting myselfThis is what i look like
>>12056458>play D2R>diedeserved
>>12055079Yea, the butthurtians will never learn. They even had their wow thread up, you’d think that would’ve contented them.
>>12054885>>12054889>>12054895>>12054907>>12055079>>12057001>NOOOOOOO W-WHY AREN'T YOU POSTING IN MY GENERAL Y-YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS MY THREAD IS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY IN DISCUSSING GAMES FROM THIS GENERALsome of the most pathetic sentiments i've seen on this website. just fucking wew lad lmao. and before you kvetch more: no i'm not the OP for any of those threads. i did post in them though.
>>12057023>FROM THIS GENERALfrom this developer*
>>12057023Reading is hard. Multiple posts talked about the threads in question being created at the same time as the new instance of this general. That isn't just discussing a game in another thread.
>>12057121>T-THEY WERE AT CREATED SIMILAR TIMES IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE T-THEY'RE TARGETING ME!!!!!!!!!!!the main character syndrome some people have here is unreal. absolute fatherless behavior. change your tampon and take your meds.
>>12057134Shut the fuck up you dumbass tourist. Go back to twitter or wherever you crawled out of.
>>12057138keep crying you stupid paranoid faggot. i think i'll go make another diablo thread just to make you shit and piss your pants
>>12057121Which threads?
>>12057134I'm not arguing that there is some conspiracy happening. I'm explaining to you how you failed to understand what they're saying and so your retorts don't actually do anything. Acquire some education, faggot.
>>12057150the fuck are you smoking lmao. those posts (which i strongly assume is just the OP of this thread samefagging himself) were crying about blizzard game discussion not happening ITT. i'm not failing to understand anything. it's clear as fucking day what was being discussed.
>>12057169No reply was necessary. I didn't even read it.
>>12057184ok OP. i'm going to go post in one of the other blizzard threads but i'll keep an eye on here so i can continue to take a fat shit in your worthless general when the opportunity arises.
>>12057206>I'll keep an eye on this thread just so I can shit it up after denying that anyone has been trying to shit things up, tee hee!Shalom.
>>12055637he's secretly a green tomato
>>12057023>>12057134>>12057140>>12057206>t. absolute fag who made the other threads
>>12057226My headcanon is that the butthurt portraitfag from the first thread is behind it all, like tge hunchback from 300 selling out the spartans because Leonidas refused to let him fight.
>>12057231lol that’s perfect
>>12057214>making on-topic threads about a game is shitting up the placeVictim mentality. Generals aren't owed anything and if anything are the real threads that shit up a place.
>>12057251Oh, it's just the butthurt tranny who posts ">>>/vg/" in every general. Carry on boys.
>>12056458I always put health pots in the first two slots, mana in the third and all rejuvies in the fourth, but the top row of every slot is juvies so that if I'm getting pwned and my fourth slut runs out, I can full retard the keyboard to spam juvies and warp back to safety.
the starcraft thread is way, way better than this trash and you know it, that's why you be shitting everywhere.
>>12057345
>>12057350I don't think that will be necessary.
>>12055450>PS/SS/PC has a godly voice castThe vikings are good, also scorch amd the little kid but Fang's voice is really stupid IMO.
>>12057360What, you don't like your werewolves to sound like a jew from the bronx?
>>12057231>like tge hunchback from 300 selling out the spartans because Leonidas refused to let him fight
Coming this summer... In a world so metal that every character in the game looks like Nathan Explosion...
It's funny how you won't ever see Doom general anons seething about other Doom threads. Same with basically any other general here.
>>12057402nobody cares bro. back to the thread.
>>12057404Sure>>12054889>>12054895>>12054907>>12055079
>>12057402Because the OP is a vindictive catty faggot that never graduated from being mentally 16
>>12057410>everybody else is trying to talk about games>this fag is still seething over posts from yesterday in two fucking threads simultaneouslyCongrats, you're just proving those posts right while bumping the thread you hate. High IQ move brah.
>>12057424I am gonna fucking kill you, fuck your shit general you piece of fucking trash
>>12057435Make love, not warcarft.
>play WC3 campaign on hard mode>get to Blackrock and RollWhat the FUCK were they thinking? This is making me want to tap out bros.
>>12057484Notoriously difficult level, probably the hardest in the UD campaign. Just keep chipping away and you'll get it. Orc is a bit easier IMO so your anus will have time to recover afterwards.
>>12057335but the top row of every slot is juvies so that if I'm getting pwned and my fourth slut runs out, I can full retard the keyboard to spam juviesthis is a good idea actually.also am i the only who's been playing D2 for 20 years and only recently learned that thawing potions stack?
>>12055637This is from Lost Vikings right? 'pill me on these games bros. I see you guys talking about them all the time but I have no idea what they're about. I remember a friend had one on GBA but I only saw him play it once or twice, looked like a fairly standard 2D platformer to me
>>12057484I had to stop on the level before this and change the difficulty to normal. I respect anybody who can beat that shit on hard but I play games for fun thanks.
>>12057720gitgud
Gonna run a sorceress cause I'm tired of losing necros. Time to deal some serious fuckin damage>>12057335Smart>>12057592Dw I'm even more retarded than you. Had to lose like 6 hc characters to learn running negates your amor lol
>>12057818Sorc is ezpz in normal but a lot less so in nightmare since her health and def will be low, to say nothing of hell with immunes. When and where are you losing your necros? If you go full bone with +skill gear for skellies/golems you should be melting your way through the game.
>>12057708>the cricket is chirping againThis thing is fucking with me, man. I found it the other night, cornered it and blasted that little shit with a bottle of 91% isopropyl. It freaked out and leaped away, I figured it would probably die shortly after or at least learn its lesson, and now... it's back, in the same spot, at the same time, except now it's in the ceiling and I can't reach it.
>>12058041Replied to your post because I meant to say: yes that guy is from Lost Vikings, and in other news I cannot play Lost Vikings because I am being mentally tortured by a fucking cricket. Somehow, some way I am going to find this little faggot and make him wish he had never chirped.
>>12058041>>12058046You're supposed to clap a cup or something over it and give it the slow death of suffocation/overheating. For good measure, cover the base of the cup with something and shake the fuck out of it, banging the fucker into the walls, when you move it away from where you caught it.
>>12058050I wish I had done that to begin with, I thought my hadouken blast of rubbing alcohol would be enough since it usually BTFOs spiders and whatnot, but apparently this little dick is stronger than most. And he has the gumption to return and taunt me again. He has nuts, but it needs to end.
>>12054748It's pretty boring by beat-em-up standards desu.
>>12054668>BALEOG DER SCHRECKLICHE>Schreckliche: frightful, terrible, dreadfulIs this a proper representation of "Baleog the Fierce" in German? Would they really conflate a term like frightful with fierce? I guess it's somewhat similar but I'd associate fierce more with "tough but brave", and frightful/terrible with "a bad guy you don't want to fuck with". Is this almost like example of 90s German edginess?
>>12057335>fourth slut runs outtruly, we are all stuck in a perpetual cycle of running out of our fourth slut.
>>12058121Hard disagree, also really nice graphics.
Warcraft 3 ruined video games.
>>12059117No, that would be Call of Duty 4. WC3's worst offense was spawning a few shitty moba games that nobody gives a fuck about anymore. Regardless, even if it had ruined games, that doesn't change the fact that it was still a fantastic game in its own right. Every great game from OoT to RE4 is always blamed for shittier games that tried to copy them, but that isn't the fault of the games themselves.
>>12059237>a few shitty moba games that nobody gives a fuck about anymoreyeah bro even though those games have several millions in prize money doled out to esports teams playing them along with millions of spectators watching them worldwide, no one actually cares about them. only my viewpoint of the world matters.
If you fail a level a couple times, the next time you start the level the characters will have a short conversation about their failure. In this level there's some retarded glitch where Baleog's text box and voice appear, but instead of a picture of him it's a picture of one of the random plant enemies, and Baleog isn't even in the level to begin with. What the fuck lmao.
>>12057141I was hoping to see more of an answer to this as well, but even then these are decently popular and notorious games. Some will seem suspect (like when I see threads using moboygame promo art that got posted in those older Diablo threads) but the initial conception of /cbg/ happened when there were concurrent and multiple Blizzard game threads.>>12059508Welcome to /cbg/.
>>12059254Worldwide, yes, people care about them, but interest in them is way down from where I remember it being 8-10 years ago. They’re on the same trajectory as rts esports, just starting from a much higher peak.
>>12054659Your previous thread barely broke 200 posts. Nobody needs your faggot general. Fuck off.
>>12059543Nah, it’s a good general with slow, comfy conversations. Fuck off.2pyhw
>>12059550>comfyEnd your faggot life.
>>12059543hoes mad
>>12057231>hunchback from 300lawl, 10/10. i'm gonna start calling the anti-cbg guy hunchback fag.on that note, who do you think is worse, hunchback fag or the megaman 8 deatchmatch schizo from doomgen?
>>12059601Megafaggot is infinitely worse. Hunchback just pops in once in awhile, says le /cbg/ sucks or equivelant, then there's an hour of shitposting and everybody moves on. The MM8fag however is on a true autistic crusade. It wouldn't surprise me if the sega spammer/auster and MM8 guy are the same dude, there's some very similar tactics at play.
>>12059550>Nah, it’s a good general with slow, comfy conversationsSometimes a bunch of garbage comes through but it's been getting purged the last few threads.>>12059601It's the MM8DM guy by FAR, no contest. We're in trouble if we strikeout and get stuck with someone who is similarly insistent about including WoW in every thread.
Random Blizzard facts, volume 1:>In Starcraft, if you stay in the briefing during the turorial mission, eventually the adjutant will ask where you are if you're okay before eventually going offline. After awhile, a recipe for chinese lemon chicken will appear.>The Lost Vikings have appeared in almost every Blizzard game from Blackthorne to WoW, usually as an easter egg or small cameo appearance>There is an extremely obscure secret in Diablo 2 which can only be activated in the Plains of Despair, and involves getting four souls to spell out letters that are believed to be a few of the dev's first initials, and this will also give you a temporary bonus to magic find>In the WC3 mission Defense of Strahnbad, any non-footman character you kill will have a corresponding ghost in the graveyard.
>>12059734did you know there's a secret theme song you can access by typing radio free zerg in chat while playing as zerg?
>>12059646I think it’s been getting better and better since the return, and the demise of the doppelgänger /cbg/ threads. Last thread had a lot of strategy discussion for d2 and wc3 ladder, very good stuff. I would rather have a quality general that gets less than a hundred replies and has a little trolling than a shitbag one that hits the limit bc 75% is veiled nuWoW talk from /v/ migrants and hunchback fag.>>12059734Blizz has been bought and sold so many times, I wonder if they were ever their own company.
>>12059761>I think it’s been getting better and better since the returnI agree, and ironically the last few threads have all had 200+ replies (not even counting the dozens that get deleted every time), which is better than the last threads before the hack which got like 100. The only one complaining is hunchback and his various schizophrenic personalities, things have been good other than a bit of shitposting (which frankly I think is just funny half the time). >I would rather have a quality general that gets less than a hundred replies and has a little trolling than a shitbag one that hits the limit bc 75% is veiled nuWoW talk from /v/ migrants and hunchback fag.Bingo.The only thing I'd like to see is anons getting back into mapping and whatnot, it was neat seeing what dudes were working on. I ran through HC D2 a few weeks ago, now I'm running through muh vikings, and then I'm planning on getting back into the WC3 groove after that. I imagine a lot of us kinda fell off the mapping wagon during the hack and picked up other games in the meantime, but now we should get back to business.
>>12059734That D2 one is crazy, I didn't believe you until I looked it up. Wow. Apparently it wasn't found until recently too. Speaking of secrets, IIRC weren't most or all of the runewords/crafting recipes in the game discovered through sheer trial and error? Is it possible there are still recipes people haven't found after all these years?
>>12059761>I think it’s been getting better and better since the return, and the demise of the doppelgänger /cbg/ threads.My harmless headcanon is that the 'doppleganger' simply realized how to make them right after fucking it up a few times.>>12059776>The only thing I'd like to see is anons getting back into mapping and whatnot, it was neat seeing what dudes were working on. Open up World Edit and try it out, it's fun.
>>12059826Nah, it's definitely original OP that came back, he outright stated it a few threads ago. Sadly the doppelganger thread maker is almost certainly hunchback or a similarly deranged homosexual.
>>12059829>Nah, it's definitely original OP that came back, he outright stated it a few threads ago.Exactly what the doppleganger wants me to think..! Harmless either way because I'm still getting the thread back, something I was aiming to do anyway.The genuinely strange part was seeing Grooby-anon posting his map again, but it was just a repost of the first time he showed it and he never responded back to me.
>>12059761>>12059776>>12059826cringehow about enjoying your thread and not conniving against the "competition" like bleeding women
>>12059846That's because when you asked if I was Grooby anon awhile back and I said "No comment", that was just a wink and nod -- I am in fact the original OP and Grooby anon, but I like to maintain a layer of separation between baking the threads and anything else I contribute so the whole thing doesn't turn into an egotistical circlejerk, which apparently the hunchback fellows believes it to be anyway. The amount of stuff I get blamed for is pretty ridiculous; I usually bake the thread and may not even check it for 1-2 days at a time, usually browsing through it late at night after work, replying rarely, and yet I constantly see stuff like >>12057423 blaming me for this and that. I don't really care about the drama that goes on and I try not to contribute to it, but no good deed goes unpunished. I just want to talk about cool old games, and I suggest we all do the same.
