and the design for the space marines is incredibly similar

2019-07-16 00:06:09 UTC  

the zerg are basically copy-paste

2019-07-16 00:06:22 UTC  

and protoss are the only one that can reasonably said to just be inspired and not copied

2019-07-16 00:07:27 UTC  

I dont consider StarCraft 2 because that does take a somewhat new direction

2019-07-16 00:07:33 UTC  

we're talking about the origins anyways

2019-07-16 00:07:51 UTC  

also because HotS and LotV kind of butcher the lore

2019-07-16 00:09:22 UTC  

Zerg are not copies of tyranids.
Protoss are not copies of eldar.

There are aesthetic similarities, sure.
And similarities in abilities, Zerg/tyranid hive mind, Protoss/Eldar psychic abilities. Sure.

But that’s about it. “Inspired by” sure. “Copies of”. Not at all.

And “GW Marines are SC marines” no. Other than the name and a general appraisal of “Oh sure, they’re both buff guys in armor”. No. They’re completely different. In origin, ideology, ability. Hell, even in a simple cost/power comparison, they are *complete opposites*.

2019-07-16 00:10:40 UTC  

Just about any person can don a suit of Terran power armor. Space Marines need so much more, implants and biological changes, to use their suits.

2019-07-16 00:11:18 UTC  

@Goodwood of Dank™ Exactly.

It’s obvious that the blizzard guys responsible for SC lore played some 40k, there’s inspiration there, but to imply that they simply copy pasted one universe to another and changed the names is absolutely wrong.

2019-07-16 00:11:25 UTC  

they are both aesthetically and mechanically copies of tyranids

2019-07-16 00:11:29 UTC  

If you're going to make comparisons between the two, you may as well compare them to the progenator of them both: the Marauder suit from Starship Troopers.

2019-07-16 00:11:39 UTC  

are you fucking stupid?

2019-07-16 00:12:18 UTC  

no

2019-07-16 00:12:24 UTC  

the Marauder suit doesnt look like it at all

2019-07-16 00:12:58 UTC  

@Scale_e because they're more like regular IG in StarCraft

2019-07-16 00:13:06 UTC  

but with Space Marine power armor

2019-07-16 00:15:16 UTC  

and considering that Warcraft was provably a copy-paste of Warhammer: https://kotaku.com/how-warcraft-was-almost-a-warhammer-game-and-how-that-5929161

2019-07-16 00:16:00 UTC  

had it not been for the fact that Blizzard had pulled this shit before, I might've been more forgiving, but it is in fact the case so I'm not

2019-07-16 00:18:36 UTC  

and bear in mind that this is the level that Blizzard themselves are willing to admit to

2019-07-16 00:20:41 UTC  

“At one time we wanted to make a warhammer game”

That’s it.

That’s your, And this articles, “proof” that it’s a copy.

Weaksauce dude.

They wanted to make a warhammer game. They couldn’t. So they made a *different* fantasy game. That draws on the same Tolkienesque source material as every other fantasy setting.

2019-07-16 00:21:57 UTC  

GW doesn’t own the rights to “Men in armor and green orcs” or “Elves that shoot arrows and evil undead”.
Shits been everywhere for ages.
