Why were warcraft 1 and 2 so impactful? Around the same time we got C&C which was a way more impressive game
They weren't
>>1897302they weren't. Watch all these retards that never played the original go buy this AI remaster slop and then complain about why is the game so shit
they were only impactful enough to get people to buy in to Starcraft and Warcraft 3
>>1897302c&c couldn't shake off its dune 2 elements - energy limitations, small bases, mimicking the concrete slabs of the original. it all made sense in the context of arrakis, but why copy it.
>buy W1 remastered>play with pixel perfect old graphics>normal UI text over the pixel art>screen messed up on the extra space with an ultrawide monitor>action sounds completely fucked up too (building sound effect when slecting a group, explosion sound effect when moving units)will we ever have a good non-slop remaster of an old game or are all remasters inherently slop?
>>1897302https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9oJXysd2egMainly art design and presentation, honestly. And yeah, lack of serious competition. C&C and Warcraft, what else we had back then... KKND, Total Annihilation? They weren't as charismatic as the former. There were gorgeous Myth games that oozes charisma and atmosphere, but they are more of a small unit real time tactics, not a proper RTS.Warcraft 2 was back when Warcraft franchise was cool and edgy and not cartoony shit it became after 3 and especially after WoW.
>>1897302They weren't. Warcraft 3 was.
>>1897302command and conquer is shitsame tier as halomid boring shitty game with a lame cringe aesthetic venerated by boomertards
>>1897772brood war is an excellent remaster and then everyone shit the bed constantly with every other game. I wouldnt be surprised if they "remastered" WC1 and then said yeah, nobody's going to play with old graphics, just ship it ranjesh. Sound issues? What do you think somebody's going to play it for more than 5 minutes?
>>1898495>halo>venerated by boomer
>>1897772Is the game made for aryans by aryans?Game is good.This is a sanjeepi subhuman negro DEI lefty troon redo to destroy the utterly kinographic divinity of VVhitekraft 1 and 2.>>1898803BroodWar is made by aryans and honorary aryans.
You’re retarded if you don’t think Warcraft 1/2 weren’t revolutionary. C&C was still niche - had hamfisted mechanics anchored to Dune 2. FMV gimmick bullshit.Warcraft was one of the most polished games of its day with a unique dark fantasy aesthetic (this was before Orcs turned gay in Warcraft 3). Broke open the RTS genre and defined what it would be for the next 2 decades. Warcraft 2 came along and improved on it in every single way. While Warcraft 1 had multiplayer (and I played the shit out of it - orcs fucking dominated with their demon summons), War2 took MP to the next level. There was an actual MP community (using Kali), setting the stage for the MP explosion StarCraft would bring. Orcs were still OP due to Bloodlust being absolutely broken. Warcraft 3 probably sold more copies, but it wasn’t the industry defining event that the almost back to back release of Warcraft and Warcraft 2 were… they were to RTS what Doom was to FPS and that’s not an exaggeration.All that said I’m not going to touch these dogshit remasters or whatever the fuck.
>>1899331holy fucking brainrot
Man, I love Warcraft 2 but the 9 units selection limit and no queue line is so annoying.

>>1898925? Boomers love Halo they never shut up about it. Then the MCC came out and everyone learned that they are just retarded.
