2 Game Seminar

By Ryan Clark

StarCraft 2 RTS (Real time strategy) Set in the future on alien and

colonized worlds. Visually the game looks great while playing with great

attention to detail with both the in-game cut scenes and games trailers looking like something out of a film.

Gameplay can be both fast or slow paced depending on skill level, races, maps and units.

Story continues on from StarCraft 1 but also allows new players to jump right in.

3 Playable races which all have totally different units from one another which changes how you must start each game and how you play the rest of the game.

Different units have different purposes meaning you have to adapt quickly to survive and plan ahead.

Rich story mixed in with great gameplay sucks you in and fully immerses you meaning you could play for hours.

eSports events which puts players against each other for cash prizes. Most recent was Blizzcon 2014 championship

World of Warcraft MMORPG (Massively multiplayer online role-playing game)

With a 10 million subscriber base as of Mid November 10 Years old on the 21st and still has updates, expansions

and loads of people still playing the game Visually the game doesn’t look that bad despite how big and

how old the game is. Models and textures also get updated every once in a while to make the game look a little fresh.

30+ Servers/Realms house at least 2500 people being on at the same time and there are different server types.

Very lore rich where most of the information can be found in-game or told in the old Warcraft RTS games.

Content 13 Playable races mixed with 11 different classes means you

can find a play style that suits you and how you want to play or you can just something totally random and just go with it.

Currently up to 100 levels Which can be achieved by completing quests, going into dungeons/raids with other people or going into battlegrounds which is the games PvP side

Battle pets, A Pokémon like feature which allows you to collect, trade and battle hundreds of different creatures in the world of Azeroth, Outland and Draenor.

Professions which gives your character more of a defining feature as you can learn new skills and use these skills to your advantage or to make a profit in the in-game auction house.

What makes StarCraft 2 great for me RTS with a great story line and isn’t a kill all situation. Enough units to play the game in a different style each time

or try new tactics. Fair multiplayer system that gives people skill sets. Diverse races making each game against a different race

new and interesting

What makes WoW great for me. Not forced to do anything in game after I’ve completed the

starter zone for my race and leveled up past level 10. Don’t have to see something all the way through meaning I

can change what I’m doing whenever. Tasks can take me a few minutes to complete or a few hours

to get a task done such as leveling up a profession. Dungeons and Raids give more of a social aspect along with

different environments and dungeon/raid bosses to deal with.
