I've never played a strategy game in my life, so what am I in for?Also general Warcraft 3 thread I guess since I haven't seen another one.
>>2136615don't bother playing any others after this
>>2136615>so what am I in for?if you mean the campaign, complete and utter kino

>>2136615the singularely best game made
>>2136615You're in for something iconic if you don't approach it from "le game critic elitist /v/fag" perspective.I think this logic should be applied to games overall desu if they're not expected to be slop ahead of time, that being said you're genuinely in for a 10/10 experience that will leave an imprint on you from start to finish and leave you wanting for more.

It's pretty much the best game ever made, largely due to its custom games, which have since spawned dozens of different games across many genresAmogus, MOBAs, TDs all heavily influenced by WC3 custom maps
>>2136816Most of those custom maps were just following genres established by Starcraft UMS maps.
>>2136799>best storytellingThat's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's very good at what it needs to be: get the player from one map to the next in ten lines.
>>2136615An overrated experience that while enjoyable, doesn’t stand up to other industry classics like C&C.They will crucify me because I speak the truth.
>>2137029C&C and WC3 are completely different gamesyou might as well say Call of Duty doesn't stand up to other industry classics like Gone Home
>>2136909Some had predecessors but even SC2 custom maps don't compare to WC3
>>2137034>completely differentAbsolutely delusional. There are some minor mechanical differences such as special abilities, but other RTS games do that better as well.
>>2137110>reddit spacing has a completely retarded take based solely on their headcanonclockwork
>>2136909I don't agree. WC3 manages to actually tell its story through gameplay which almost no other rts ever have. The horde missions in particular are fantastic for this.The maps aren't just>cutscene>skirmish>cutsceneAlmost always the story directly informs the missions and you actually feel it while playing.The writing itself is pretty good too.
>>2136799>vibrant mods and user made campaignsThis. I'm playing the True Story of Arkain after playing the main game's campaign too many times, and it's absolute kino. The missions are way too long, though, because they're about giant armies clashing.
>>2137149ive only ever played up to second undead book chapter 2 or 3. i gave up after the insane (on normal) difficulty. Is this true story a new campaign?
>>2137198It's all the books combined into one canonical story. It's definitely long and keeps the difficulty, but you also don't have to worry about ruining the story as much.
>>2136615I remember getting absolutely filtered the fuck out by the final Undead mission. The one where you have to defend Kel'Thuzad as he summons Archimonde in. I had to resort to watching a walkthrough to get through it.Also the Orc mission where you have to hold against Cenarius.And most of the Night Elf campaign.I wasn't a good player.
>>2136799>with some of the best video game storytelling periodYou must be joking
>>2137135I sometimes think how epic a WCIII campaign movie would look like if done similarly professionally as the lotr or harry potter movies.
>>2137230what do you mean ruining the story?
>>2137579For example, the leadership bonuses and optional objectives could change the entire plotline, such as (FHB) whether Aedale gets corrupted or (SHB) whether Cora gets corrupted or not.If you don't know about them, you'll play the game normally and get a completely different story if you're not careful.
>>2136615fantasy rts peaked there
>>2137504The plot is too stupid though.
