Which is better, WoW or Starcraft?

alexjonathan41
SC and WoW are games in two totally different genre, there is no way of comparing them, at most all you'll get is fanboys on either side saying that the game they favor is better. this thread is flame bait and should be deleted

I think an explanation is required.

Starcraft is an RTS game. RTS=Real Time Strategy.

World of Warcraft(WoW) is an MMORPG. MMORPG=Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

You cannot compare the two.

Well, if the TC changed his question from "Which is better" to "Which do you like better?" Then that would be a fair comparison. But yes, as it stands right now this topic is pointless and stupid.

That's a better question. I can't answer it though, since I never got into WoW (Thinking I might pick up a copy and start playing soon though...

Well, that's different :P, considering I have over 900 hours of WoW and about 70 for SC and 20 for SC 2 (including a few matches I had in the beta), and I'm rarely into an RTS mood (not right now), I'd say WoW is the better game for me, if it were Diablo then things would be different.

still can't compare RTS to MMORPG, what should be asked here is: what do you think will be more enjoyable - World of Warcraft or World of Starcraft if one will ever be released?

In terms of content, no game can match WOW.

But Starcraft 2 is superior as a Blizzard game.

WOW will end up being a grindfest.

Starcraft 2 is an RTS so it's never a grind. It is more intellectually satisfying,

What? No, that makes no sense. If he is asking which one we liked better, then that is a comparison of opinions, not of game mechanics. So the game mechanics are moot. I could compare my enjoyment of Starcraft 2 to my enjoyment of sex. Yes, both are mechanically completely different, but if I wanted to I could compare my opinion of them.

Well SC2 has much better single player than Sex, but I think Sex wins through on the multiplayer front for me ;) XD

Yeah the singleplayer campaign was way to short, if you rushed it you could complete it in 20 seconds
