Terror Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 How do you people think of this? Is Westwood better or Blizzard.....:I think Blizzard is better cuz though they need a lot of time to develop a product it is always a succes.... and they usually also bring a lot of original things....Another good thing about blizzard is their support... even now for starcraft... Westwood is ok though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobdouds Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 WestWood does have the advantage of a large company like EA behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nampigai Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 That doesn't mean that they only make good games, it only menas that they good some more money in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 westwood can make realy good games like emperor, c&c and dune2... but they just don't support it anymorethat realy sux.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I don't feel like arguing right now. Suffice to say that I hate Blizzard and I want to see them die painful deaths. Okay? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Keep in mind Blizzard supports games like Starcraft because they have tons of money from the sales of that game to pay for it. Emperor doesn't come close to those levels, or so I've been told, so I can see why Westwood doesn't support Emperor anymore even if I don't argue with it.

Terror Posted March 1, 2002 Author Share Posted March 1, 2002 but damn... i don't know much about this.... but is making a patch or something so hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asdrubaal Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Warcraft 3 is great... just great.The thing is that westwood is more like a hyundai factory. They shit out games, with decent quality, then they abandon it. Blizzard has an aura to their games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 I agree..... westwood makes some very good games and some lesser... but they don't support them at all..... blizzard supports with patches, maps and tournaments and stuff..... expansions...... they just keep the game alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Damn, I Hope they will make a Renegade like game in Dune style. Haha Imagine that. Your running in the Sands of Arrakis with a Weirding module and Drop a Thumper down to the ground, Attracting an worm and Ride it. Yeeehaw....

Terror Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 yah... i thought about it too.... perhaps they'll make an emperor mod for renegade..... stepping in a minotaur and kick some ass sounds fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Man what does people have with the Mino.....Mino this mino that!....

Timenn Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Ok, I must say from WW that I hate them. But though, they are making great games. And looking at others they make their games stable. (Just don't look at Call To Power II from Activision, for example) They abondan games ok, but most times in good condition. I haven't seen major bugs in Emperor, TS, RA, C&C, Dune2k, Dune II (RA2 is just 1 bug what never had to be invented). My end result:I hate them, but not their work...

Terror Posted April 7, 2002 Author Share Posted April 7, 2002 that is true... but i just hate it that they don't care about the gamers... who play their games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 WestWood is a money-scheming company. They make games for just profit, but if no profit = no support. Emperor made a little money, so WW add maps and such. Blizzard makes tons of money - and they deserve it. StarCraft rules! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted April 9, 2002 Author Share Posted April 9, 2002 aha... another starcraft fan... acriku.. your my man! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Well, concerning games I have to say that both are just as good. Concerning support.. Blizzard rises far above Westwood.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo_I Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Keep in mind Blizzard supports games like Starcraft because they have tons of money from the sales of that game to pay for it. Emperor doesn't come close to those levels, or so I've been told, so I can see why Westwood doesn't support Emperor anymore even if I don't argue with it.you bring up a good point Gob, i would love to see WW come out with the next best thing, which would earn them tons of money, and then they can support the game till the cows come homeAlso, WWOL doesn't post ad banners. BIG mistake. DO you honestly think Blizzard pays for all those online servers and support with their own money only??? i don't think so, ad banners are a pain in the arse, but i haven't seen support for SC go away and it's been what 3 years now since it came out???

Terror Posted April 16, 2002 Author Share Posted April 16, 2002 actually almost 5.... :-) i know... the game is still fun huh for such an old game :-)... but the banners on battle.net are not very irritating so i don't have many problems with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
