I have never played any of these games or StarCraft 2. Which one should I play first?
Diablo 2 - endless grind
Starcraft - strategy experience
Warcraft 3 - tactics experience
>>386330331
>t. never actually played Diablo II
>>386330046
ALWAYS play/read/watch things in the order they were released, even if it's just so you won't miss little in-jokes or easter eggs that reference the older media
>there's people on /v/ that never played Diablo 2
D2 I guess. You won't stand a chance in Wc3 or SC multiplayer without years of practice at this point, and their singleplayer campaigns are okay at best.
>>386330046
beat hell baal on your own in d2. you'll have a good time. endgame is truly shit RMT infested trash though unless you're playing a mod like resurgence
>>386330046
starcarft so yyou get the rts
diablo so you get the hero mechanic
w3 last because its the best
Diablo 2 for an action rpg
Starcraft for a RTS experience
Warcraft 3 for a bit of both?
>>386330646
Uwut? SC/BW have fantastic campaigns.

lmao wtf, googled stategy, a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim.
googled tactics, an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end.
i'm starting to think every poster is a stupid ass little kid, and diablo 2 is an endless grind, after you get max level, you do the same shit, for gear instead of levels and isn't the pvp fucking dead so there's like nothing else to do except farm for items
>>386330646
Starcraft's single player campaign is phenomenal, you retard.
>>386331281
What are you talking about dumbass?
Wacraft is more tactics-based because the scope of the game was brought down compared to Starcraft and the game became more about second-to-second micro and quick intense skirmishes, as opposed to Starcraft which was more about establishing economic dominance and positioning the armies correctly.
>>386330646
WC3's campaigns are absolutely amazing (and far better than SC's), kill yourself.
>>386330046
WC3 is literally the perfect game, but the online is infested with bots nowadays. The campaign is good but you'll have to join a separate community to get to play custom maps. They usually don't take too kindly to beginners, so be aware.
Starcraft is free now, so you might as well start there.
Warcraft 3 is a fantastic game with a huge storyline and involving, but not impossible or tedious, missions. Might be the best of the lot.
I've honestly never understood Diablo, Diablo II, or the entire genre they inspired. Totally repetitive and lifeless games.

This, and then get StarCraft: Remastered a little over a week from now.

Think Fallout but without turned based mechanics.

This is the dumbest comparison in history

It's nothing like that. What the fuck are you on?
>>386333928
This post is why 15 year olds who have never properly played retro games should never be allowed to post here.
>>386333928
Never post here again.

Starcraft 2 is terrible, avoid it like the plague. I would go with Warcraft 3 if you like fantasy and Starcraft if you like gritty space fantasy.
I just downloaded StarCraft and I'm playing Zerg. Those sounds are so disgusting! Holy shit.
>>386333928
>>386330046
IMO start with Warcraft 3 and its expansion, because it still holds up gameplay wise with current RTS games, and actually has one of the most badass campaign modes (if not the most badass) of any RTS game in existence, including Starcraft/2

Keep clicking, all the units have several extra voice lines that you have to click about ten times to hear, some of them are pretty memorable, queen has my fav
>>386330046
I beat Diablo 2 for the first time two months ago. Played it with a friend, and we had a lot of fun running through it. A bit dated controls, but you get used to them.
Warcraft 3 is a RTS classic, and absolutly worth playing through for the story, if you're into Warcraft. The controls are a little bit dated - spcifically the amounts of units you can have selected at the same time, but it should be ok in all other aspects.
Never played original Starcraft.
>>386336814
Yes. And both of those are free.
>>386339494

Why are these people on 4chan.
>>386331281
>after you get max level
