X game is better than Y game because Y game stole all its fucking content from X game.

Is that better?

Pretty sure the official ruling on software copyright is that you can only secure rights to the brand and other IP items, not the actual susbtance it brings.

If Blizzard could be sued for stealing lore and making better games with it they would have been sued by now.
"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.' And nobody really ever believes." - Roger 'Verbal' Kint, The Usual Suspects

yes and i disagree. Dawn of War's initial impression on me in the demo I played was pretty terrible but it's been a while and now I don't have a PC to play it so it's moot anyway
That's stupid, you're stupid. You played a demo of the game and you're ready to judge it shit? While that might be a halfway sound idea, DoW is barely the game it was back when it was first released. It's two expansions have added so much.

I've played both Starcraft and Dawn of War to their completions as well as participated in their respective multiplayer arenas. Dawn of War is a much better game than Starcraft is. It's a much more diverse and in-depth game. And if you feel the need to discuss this further, remember this: My opinion is much more informed than your opinion, so you're wrong WRONG WRONG DIE

The lore universes don't even begin to compare, as well. So what if Starcraft's and War40k's races are eerily similar? Starcraft's single player campaigns have a much more interesting story. But War40k's universe is at least twenty times more rich and textured than Metzen has the time or skill to create.

The 7+ years that DoW came out probably helped, learning from past success.

Same with 40k having, what, 20+ years of lore with monthly magazines and editions. Starcraft has a game, an expansion, and like 6 books. Of course it has more lore.

I'll admit that I'm ill informed due to having only played the demo of a game that's seen several expansions since, but I didn't like the way the game felt and some of the basic design decisions that they made (note: I don't remember what these issues were specifically, it's been a while and it may not even be applicable now)

side note: if more "in-depth" means a game was better that would mean that war3's intolerable ability/spell micromanagement bullshit approach would have made it a better game than Starcraft and oh god it wasn't even close

I thought War3 and Supreme Commander were pretty bad so maybe I just don't like most RTS games. I think I only like the relatively shallow ones like Starcraft and C&C. I'll admit that I've never played the incredibly well-received acclaimed Company of Heroes so I don't have an opinion on it

again though I'm sort of out of this whole scene for a while until I consider building another PC. I've currently put myself on just a Macbook (onboard Intel graphics!) and a 360 so yeah

The games in alpha still, though Blackened could probably give you better information than myself. The beta card they gave me only says "for a future blizzard game" Doesnt even say for sure its SC2.
