Dota is in no way a full RTS game.
You do not gather resources , you hunt for resources. This resembles all the RPG games like Maple , FF , where you control 1 or a few characters to hunt for that resource.
You do not teamwork with your own units , basically cause you control only 1 unit in most cases.
You have nothing to do with base building whatsover , you just control 1 unit in most cases.
Dota in no way is a full RTS game. May have elements of it but it is NOT. minimal micromanagement is needed compared to true RTS games.

QUOTE(TeckPeow @ Sep 2 2007, 03:38 AM) Actually there is no specified definition for RTS... 10 ppl can come out with 10 different definitions. I somehow disagree that a RTS must gather resources and control large number of armies. QUOTE However, i believe DotA is a strategy game because it involves resource gathering Contradictions You are indeed a legendary poster .... big LOL at you guys , TS is the guy who said west ham is invovled in match fixing and thats why sheffield united not happy .... legendary strike backs lol This post has been edited by befitozi: Sep 2 2007, 04:00 AM |

most of the efforts to by some people to show that dota is a rts game is due to the fact that they realise that the things you need to master and do in dota is FAR FAR less then a true RTS like Frozen Throne. they wanna relieve themselves from the fact that they are playing a far simplier game by bringing up the 'status' from a mod , to a rts ... what they should be doing is accept the fact that dota is not a rts game but something else which is special and different, something which has its own advantages and disadvantages ...

Do u guy even played RPG and known the origin of RPG, yes there are many RPG even DMC or God of War is also consider RPG, but the game is heavily based on an action so it's called an action game and the Warcraft III is based on RTS so it's basically it's a RTS.Bah !!!!!!!! it's doesn't matter Dota it's RTS for me and don't quote me anymore fags  Yes warcraft III is based on rts but dota is not. |

QUOTE(H@H@ @ Sep 7 2007, 11:07 PM) Hmmm, now when I think about it, an interesting question has popped up: If you guys don't consider an RPG an RPG if it doesn't have a story; what do you call games with all the elements of an RPG BUT lack a story? What genre would that be? (I will flame the first bugger who screams "RTS" so hard...) even if there is no story ... the character still have a role of somesort ... there is nothing with no role ... thus , when the game is centered upon a character fulfilling his role , even when it lacks a story line , it is , as described , a role playing game. simply cause you play the role of a character. |
