02 - The story of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995)

[DunebladeSandstrider]

So the Orcs have ties to basically all the problems of the world...?

[OneWeirdDude]

In the cinematic prefacing Human Act III, something happens that couldn't in actual gameplay, I think.

[DunebladeSandstrider]

@OneWeirdDude Umm... Gameplay trumps lore... or something...?

[lizardstrikes]

i would be honoured to serve this guy at a drivethrough just to hear his voice again

[Mopehome]

9:44  enough said _^

[SilentSkys]

God I need to get this game again.. I am sad my disk broke T,T ,,.

[Mopehome]

@SilentSkys I feel you brother, I fucking LOST my damn disks long time ago D: now its either bought VIA ebay, or take risky website(s) to grab the original D:

[SilentSkys]

@Mopehome apparently there is a newer version of Warcraft II revamped or something like that.. it has a CD key and you can register it and stuff.. My CD did not have a CD key so I cant just re-download it from the site like I can with Starcraft. If you have a CD key for warcraft II tho I think you can download it from battle.net.

[Mopehome]

@SilentSkys D: no results on warcraft 2 ..via Battle.net

[SilentSkys]

@Mopehome you have to have a battle.net account and register your serial number in order for the download to become available I think.. That's what I had to do with starcraft. I think the newer edition for Warcraft II is called Battle.net edition. or something.

[ZverevasLT]

That human footman's and narrator's diction, that voice! Such epic-ness such glory...

[ByPhantomYuki]

Is there any Blizzard game that isnt awesome :)

[contr4dixion]

Wow, old school... nice... :D

[rasse409]

i like the final quote in the cinematic

''no pixels were harmed during the making of this game''

[Falchion1984]

Is this game still a good buy, despite its age? I could run the PSX version via ePSXe or use my mother's old windows 98 laptop to run the PC version. You think it's worth getting?

[S2076]

@Falchion1984 that depends on how much patience you have for an outdated user interface/ control scheme. Oh and graphics of course. Otherwise it's still a great game.

[Falchion1984]

@S2076 Was some of that corrected in the Battlenet or the PSX version? Well, in any case, thanks for the tip.

[LordSmokeVideos]

@Falchion1984 a very great game if you like real time strategy. Get the Warcraft II Battle Net edition, it has an updated  Starcraft-style interface, and works on modern windows versions. I bought mine for like $4

[Falchion1984]

@LordSmokeVideos Already did, for Christmas. Good advice though. And, I'm already through the first human campaign. Thanks for the reply.

[MetalRAGE230]

if only this voice could be in wow somewhere

[DunebladeSandstrider]

@MetalRAGE230 It's probably Metzen (jk)

[EVAagent64]

i just love that orc guy that talks in the breifings :3

[kingsomark]

what was the track name?

[GicaPopa]

@kingsomark Which track do you mean? The intro cinematic one is simply called "Intro" afaik.

[kingsomark]

@GicaPopa I meaan the soundtrack at 0:06

[GicaPopa]

@kingsomark Yep, it's called "Intro". You can find the MIDI file around the internet or extract a (shorter) version of the song from the Warcraft III editor.

[arkwrestling145]

27:50 why did you not do that when my base got destroyed the first 20 times i tried that level...

MY CHILDHOOD

[blackwolfsky]

I´m confused in the 1 man and orcs game in the end humans won but this says differently

[GicaPopa]

@blackwolfsky I mentioned that in the video info: the first two games (Warcraft I & II) have alternate endings. The official story, however, is that orcs won Warcraft I and humans retreated north.

[MetalRAGE230]

@blackwolfsky ya and warcraft 2 is the same but in warcraft 2 the human ending is the offical
