DukeLeto Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 I want honest opinions here:Which is better: Tiberian Sun or StarCraft, and why?My vote is:Tiberian Sun because:No group or unit caps.Sidebar building.Construction yard as opposed to a unit.Multiple difficulty levels.One-click interface.3D, deformable terrain.Etc.
Anathema Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 Starcraft.-More strategical options and variety-3 sides rather then 2-Graphics aren't THAT much worse-Actuall support for the game-Not made by cheap bastard company
Edric O Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 TIBERIAN SUN- Much better interface (I LOVE the C&C sidebar - too bad it won't be in Generals)- Better missions- Just as good story- Many more movies, and of better quality (James Earl Jones!!!)- Interactive terrain (tiberium, veins)- Deformable terrain- Storms (ion, meteor...)- Better feeling- The Westwood resource and building system (Con Yard + Refinery + Harvester)- Cool units :)
Anathema Posted July 21, 2002 Posted July 21, 2002 I really don't like the same construction system over-and-over again. When I played Ra2 I thought "Haven't I played this game before?" I didn't.PsI'm looking forward to Earth 2160. Not much info yet, but Earth 2150 included:-Ability to modify terrain (dig trenches etc)-Underground warfare (tunnels)-Ability to put various weapons on different chassis types-Cool music and general theme (especially ED :))-Good balancing (generally)
Edric O Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Well I have just one thing to say to that:What Earth??Don't you mean Mars 2160? :)
DukeLeto Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 -Not made by cheap bastard companyThat's not much of a reson...I could say for TS, then:-Blizzard sucks.But i didn't. Let's stick to the game itself.
exatreide Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Starcraft duh!Better online system.Buit in map editor. with trigers and suchmuch better singel player3 completly different sidesProtos are good for micromangersZerg are good for massersTerrens are good for...a little bit of bothBut you can...Mass your protosMicromanage your zergMicromanage/mass your terrensThats the thing it has such a reply value.westwood sux.....
undsputed Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 I got starcraft not too long ago and only played through the human campaign..not even finished that. I did like starcraft though.Now, Tiberian Sun, I was not impressed with. It is very different from the RA series, and in my opinion, no where near as good. I let someone borrow the game and I'm not sure I want it back...lol. The game was just slow, the storyline not too good. Maybe it was too sci-fi for me, I'm not sure.
Terror Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Starcraft- Better graphix (you may insult me for that but that is just what i think)- Way better gameplay (most strategic game i know)- Great options with triggers... it gives the game a lot of options- easy to use map editor- Better music- Three totally different sides (don't agree with ExAtreides explanation though, i think all races are good for micromanagement)- Great online community/support- Good latency
Caid Ivik Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 Tiberian Sun!- second best game ever (after Dune II)- Starcraft has cartoon graphics, like Sonic in RTS
neonext Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 i've played both to death, i don't want to list reasons, but my vote goes for TS all the way
undsputed Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 I think TS sold a lot worse than starcraft. Also, I think a lot of the people who play the C and C series were disappointed with TS. That's just the general feel that I got but I could be wrong.
neonext Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 when i first played TS i hated it. years later i bought it and the exapansion pack for $15 and i loved it
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 i dunno...i just like the starcraft feel more...
undsputed Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Did I ever mention that I really don't like TS. Ohh, I already said that above ;D
Terror Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 hahah :) Starcraft rulezz... it's one of the most played RTS games online... it easily defeats TS. Hah, even when battle.net is down more people play starcraft mplayer online than they do TS :). And though to you the graphix may look cartoonish.. the style absolutely is not.. Finish the campaign and you'll learn of the fate of the universe with the queen of blades on top! (my favorite). It's just so impressive to see all those huge battlecruisers of the UED flee back to earth in a cutscene while later you hear that they all have been eridicated by the mighty swarm!
Edric O Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 Your pathetic Swarm shall feel the wrath of the Sons of Aiur! EN TARO TASSADAR!I fear no enemy, for the Khala is my strength.I fear not death, for out strength is eternal!!!:)
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 24, 2002 Posted July 24, 2002 wasn't the ending movie AWESOME ?!TASSADAR RULES ALL!!
Edric O Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Poor Tassadar... snif snif :'(Die, filthy Zerg, DIE! :)
Terror Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 No way, not even the dark templar couldn't prevent that... The queen of blades is almighty, and she is my daughter ;)
lost_child Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 star craft-3 sides-you can build multiple units instead of 1 at a time-more fun-easier to play
Terror Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 aah yes, you got the word i was searching for. FUN starcraft is just so fun.. TS is not (well not ot me heheh)
Edric O Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 Pssst, Terror... if Kerrigan is your daughter, that means you're the Overmind. Which means Tassadar kicked your @$$. ;D
LPC-Disco_Inferno Posted July 25, 2002 Posted July 25, 2002 I like them both.Starcraft and tb both have some pretty good grapics.Bless
Desert_Eagle25 Posted July 26, 2002 Posted July 26, 2002 Hahaha...Tassadar is one of my all time fav heroes for games...He gave up everything, his life, his ranking, his shining spot with the council of Aiur, to save his people.
