Starcraft or Warcraft? Which is better?

I don't know anything about starcraft. I thought it would just be like warcraft except for in " space " but I guess it wasn't

Yeah, that was a common misconception, mainly because it was a 2D RTS that came out shortly after WC2 and had the worl "----craft" in the title, so natually people put two and two together and thought that. But WC2/3 play very differently, nonetheless.

Starcraft is good. i like it but it gets annoying when ur not playin it and ur sis is wit loud volume so for now (until world of wacraft comes out) i perfer WarCraft III TFT

The only way to truly compare the two would for a Warcraft and a Starcraft to be released within a year of each other. Then it would be game on.

B-L-O-O-D-E-DWhen Blizzard will make a Star Craft 2 (if thats ever gonna happen), only then I think it will be fair to judge the two. Right now, i chouse WC

O.O Well, there WILL be a StarCraft 2! They're in the proccess of making it RIGHT NOW!

And Warcraft is better btw

mmh i liked warcraft more than starcraft even before reign of chaos had been released, ok i have everything of it:
warcraft: human vs orcs (what a piece of crap ^^)
warcraft 2 +b.net edition: tides of darkness (oh i loved this game)
starcraft + broodwar
warcraft 3 (roc & tft) (sure its the best of all, who wonder?)

what i try to say is, even if a "starcraft 2" based on the warcraft 3 engine is released and even if the graaphic looks better than reality i think the world-design of warcraft is more lovely... starcraft is the every-day-stuff u know: zerg, slimy aliens like in AlIeN or Natural Selection, Humans like... ok humans..., and a high tech mega race... protoss

now u could say: "blah... in wc there are ogres, orcs, humans, elves and undeads like in lord of the rings... but it aint the same, the charakters are so nice...4example...: grom, uther, lothar, gul'dan, perfect! and in sc: JIM Rainor... the all-american hero..OMG!

i guess noone will read my 4min efford of writing this post ^^

I haven't played starcraft much, but i have always liked wc better, simply because i'm not a sci-fi fan, and i'm addicted to fantasy. WE is the best part about wc3, it's advance and you can do anything with it, i don't play regular games on bnet anymore, because the standard iq there is about the same level as a monkey, the bnet society is simply BAD. If the maps were made with better terrain and the maps were beigger, then you would really feel that you were leading your troops to war. So basically, i like wc better then sc.

Of course Warcraft is better! And you CAN compare graphics, the question was; "Starcraft or Warcraft? Which is better?", not "Which was better for it's time", the topic was about the game you prefer most, not about how impressed you became when it was released.

There are some Starcraft-mod-projects going around in wc3, but just the thought of making a Wacraft-mod in Starcraft is ridicolous. The WE is MUCH better in wc3, no question, and i spend most time in the WE, so it's an easy choice for me.

The Medieval story and gameplay in Warcraft is much more enjoyable than the futuristic in starcraft, where you can put more weight on heroes, who were missing in Warcraft I and II. It is natural to have a leader in combat, or else the combat becomes messy (like starcraft)

Now to the facts: WARCRAFT IS THE BEST GAME EVER, NOT THE STARCRAFT RUBBISH!

Both Starcraft and Warcraft are good games. But Warcraft 3 is better than Starcraft Im mapping alot and the WE is MUCH better in Warcraft

Starcraft isnt that good.. i got banned from it, i dont know when.. but i did.. my parents bannned me from it. I got wc3 reign of chaos.. i was like: " Woah! this is so much better then starcraft! THIS IS AWESOME!! THIS IS SO COOL!!"

Now.. when The Frozen Throne came out.. i was like: " AH ITS SO COOL! ITS ALOT BETTER THEN STARCRAFT AND WC3 Reign of Chaos COMBINED!!!! AND LOOK! They even have a new cool unit: "penguin"!! I am going to looooooooooove this game!! i am going to worship it!!!!!"

I am very weird..

poor grahpics

Well duh, Starcraft is 2D!

But anyway, STARCRAFT ROCKS !!!!!
If you don't think so, I'll get my avatar to mind control you into thinking so!

Just playing Starcraft and Brood War atm
Yes, Starcraft rocks. For me the background story is of most importance. WC3 and SC have great stories, and that's what counts.

Well, as somewhat of a connoisseur of the two games, I would have to put a reluctant foot behind WC. Mainly because of the sheer customize-ability of warcraft. Although im a sucker for the classics, and face it, SC thought of every single idea for maps. You cannot invent a map that wasnt first in Starcraft. Hence my reluctant foot. But more units, four built-in races and absolute creativity editor bring Warcraft way ahead of poor, underdeveloped Starcraft any day.
This is a sad day for the classics, a sad day indeed...

When Starcraft II comes out, Warcraft III will be completeley destroyed by the awsomeness...

Mr. Level Maker PersonWhen Starcraft II comes out, Warcraft III will be completeley destroyed by the awsomeness...
