Total Annihilation vs. Starcraft

[fuz]

I've gone to plenty of other forums and people can discuss this for hours without coming to any resolution as to which RTS game is better.

I, personally, tip Total Annihilation as the best RTS game, but Starcraft, with it's mission editor, can make 'mini games' (if you like to call them that) using the 'Use Map Settings' feature. I find these way more fun than just collecting resources, building a massive base and attempting to annihilate a player over and over again.

But I'm just rambling. What's everyone else's opinion?

TA is great, but I have to go with SC. I do use the editor and find it fun to make seemingly impossible battles and try to win them.

The way the AI copies your strategies in Starcraft really ups the replay value as there's no one strategy that will consistently beat the AI. That has made it age so much better in my opinion. But the unit/counter unit setup was really well designed as well.

I personally think TA > SC in most respects. There was an insanely long thread on this very topic several months ago that you might want to revive.

Heh, I don't know about opening that.

Heh, I don't know about opening that.

It got rather heated in parts, but there's a large amount of good information on and arguments for both games.

Wow, those games are getting pretty old school now. Still classics.

Starcraft is old, but still is a great and interesting game.

There have been a number of threads about this, I don't know if I was posting in the one Arnediad is talking about but I don't have the energy to make all the same arguments.

So I'll just say that in the end StarCraft is the best.

Total Annihilation has superior replay value. I've been playing it for over 5 years and its excellent.

It has superior quene system and unlimited resources and huge amounts of units

Total Annihilation Rules!

Starcraft is aight, but I prefer Total Annihilation over it!

Total Annihilation. For reasons, see the insanely long thread by Noddingdog. However, please disregard my early, immature posts.

Blizzard is good.

 

[icecoldbreeze]

I think Blizzard is aight, the best game they have ever made was Diablo II! But I have played Starcraft and Warcraft and there aight!

 

[Lordbay]

I still play Diablo and Diablo II sometime when I have nothing else.

I played Total Annihilation for over 4 years and still love it. SC is okay, but I played it for few hours... that's it.

God Bless You!

SC, one of best games every period (I have version 1.0 on cd from when it first came out and have been playing it through the years )

Ahhh, haha.
I love these types of debates, having been a long serving member of TAUniverse
But, I must confess, I do like Starcraft AND Total Annihilation, you can't really pick one over the other imo.

They are great games, but you have to look at gameplay.
