So its seems that another gigantic brand playoff is coming this year - Blizzard's StarCraft franchise versus EA(formerly Westwood Studio)'s Command and Conquer Franchise. Honestly, I don't realyl give a crap though, aside from 3 early Blizzard titles, I really don't have much love for either. I'm also not keen on their legions of unwavering fans, with both camps sharing some bizzare polarisation against each other. Really, it just comes down to hairsplitting and petty inbickering over two very similar franchsies. No, I'm deadly serious. Starcraft is just a re-art of Warcraft(the new sequal looks like WC3 meets Dawn of War, so no change there har de har), and the CnC Red Alert.. 3... looks like every single last previous one with a new engine and some more hammers and sickles.
I must admit, I've never really seen what people SEE in either Blizzard or the developers formerly Known as Westwood. In the early 90s, they released some neat games, but come the late 90s they all of a sudden start becoming corporate douchbags, releasing primarily ONE franchise that is so blunt and uninteresting to me that they may as well be selling thumbtack simulators. And when it comes down to it, the gameplay of both is so close that you may as well ask whether you prefer Shadowrun or stock Dungeon and Dragons ( not that I've much experience with either, but from what I do know.. )
So yes, Blizzard, EA slash Westwood slash EAstwood - "meh"
Starcraft 2- Resounding meh
CnC RA 3 - Resounding nyet. Also, shorten that stupid ananananacronyn.
In other news, Just picked up some more RBF, so I'm rockin out in the livin' room on a laptop. So far, wins.
