I play RS3 because the lack of time you need to invest into OSRS to get somewhere or actually get your account where you’d like it to be. Yes that’s the entire point of playing the game. But for me personally I enjoy both games, but I don’t want to sit for hours and hours either on mobile or PC skilling the old way and slow xp rates on osrs when I can afk something on rs3 and leave my phone sitting for 10 minutes. I don’t have 10 hours to spend on a game like I did back in middle school/high school. Husband, full time career, staying fit, etc. There’s absolutely no way I can “keep up” with OSRS which pushes me away because I’m a “all in or not in” type of player when it comes to games. That’s why I stick to RS3, maxed account in 1 year from 0 (shows how fast & easy it is, not saying it’s a good thing) but it satisfies my gaming needs or whatever you want to call it
You shouldn't be playing RuneScape then... If you truly understood what RuneScape is and you're an OG then you would know RuneScape is time consuming... Who cares if you have a busy life now or don't.
@@Queven. you can’t tell me what to play or not to play lol. If I have 30 mins to play on a Monday I’m gona play. If I have 3 hours to play on a Saturday I’m gona play lol. I’m a mobile player now, I made a new account and maxed it in 6 months mobile only. Working on quests during weekends and other achievements :) but I hop on my PC for that because mobile sucks for that
I relate to this a lot. I love osrs but I don't have the time to devote to it... One thing that drives me crazy about osrs is that an Ironman account takes enormous amounts of time to progress... I recently learned that RS3 allows you to make Rune items at level 50 smithing instead of 90... I'm wondering if an RS3 F2P Ironman might be enjoyable with only a hour or two per week.
Im just now started to try out rs3 after playing osrs for maybe a half a year and I think its a breeze of fresh air. I totally recommend playing them side by side so neither of them start to feel too stale like I think OSRS can start to feel after grinding for a long time.
i have... any high end player that plays both games unequivocally agrees with me. Just people that only play OSRS circle jerk thinking it's harder, it's way way easier. The only thing that was a challenge was the inferno @@SuperHovik
I can vouch for this. OSRS bosses are just about positioning and inventory management, whereas RS3 bosses require strategic use of various abilities and for you to remain aware of everything going on around you. Heck, the “strategy” for a certain few RS3 bosses is to fight them in a Legacy Combat world to make them easier even… that alone speaks volumes to the added difficulty and challenge of RS3 bosses.
RS3 for Beautiful Scenery/Ambience, Easy Grind, and Smooth gameplay. OSRS for Nostalgia(duh), Dopamine from the grinding skills, and retro adventuring vibes.
I genuinely got into RS3 for a few days. But once I tried using the GE I realized the economy was broken. I mean regular logs go for 1k lol. It’s just end game stuff going at this point. That alone turned me off from the game.
@@TheShadowMilitiawell good plays a lot of different parts in rs3. It’s good for getting parts for invention, needed to make planks for frames in the fort and well of course construction.. money in rs3 is so easy to make that 1k is going to feel like 100gp if you actually really got into rs3
@@warhead213 yeah true. But I can’t even sell or buy basic things on the GE and it’s just a little frustrating cause I mainly play osrs and also played back in the day and that part of the economy hasn’t changed but RS3 is different like you said
i have over 8k hrs in rs3 (trim comp, 3b xp, many boss logs usw) i have started osrs a few weeks ago, sitting at around 500hrs and completely addictet to it lol! love both games for sure, just hate the mtx in rs3...destroys all of your achievements tbh. but one thing i have to say is that pvm is much better in rs3 for sure, imo ...
I totally agree with you here! I think the MTX ruins the game, I was thinking of starting an Ironman on rs3! Yes OSRS is definitely really addictive glad your enjoying the journey
yo man, id be super surprised if you read this comment to begin with, but i recommend ironman for sure. I'm an old school nerd. My main account is almost 20 years old. BUT im having so much fun in rs3 as an ironman. Its a little annoying with the dungeoneering skill, but overall its a blast. I definitely recommend it :) happy scapin man!@@NoHelpOSRS
One of the biggest advantages of RuneScape 3, in my eyes, is quality-of-life. There are so many minor, little tweaks made to the mechanics and core systems of the game in RS3 that allow for a smoother user experience. Old School RuneScape still _feels_ like I’m playing a game from 2007, even though the game was released in 2013 and has been continuously updated and brought into the modern day. Some examples of what I mean by that include the way that inventory management does not cancel animations. If you cast the Home Teleport spell and then move items around in your inventory screen, in RS3 it will properly perform both actions at the same time. I found this helpful for when I was doing Farming runs to multiple patch types, and I needed to rearrange stuff in my inventory when returning to the bank to do the next set. This isn’t the case in OSRS; if you cast Home Teleport and then move an item, it cancels the teleport spell. You have to sit there and watch the long animation play through and take you to your destination before you can do anything else. This also applies to other activists and UI elements, such as browsing through a skill’s unlocks page or a quest log while chopping trees or fishing. Again, in RS3 this works perfectly fine: your character will continue performing their tasks in the background while you’re checking up on information in the UI. If you try and do this in OSRS, the player character will stop doing what they’re doing and just stand there, and you’ll be forced to close whatever information panel you’re browsing in order to start doing your task again. It’s very restrictive in a way that is entirely unnecessary and has been remedied in the other version. You can basically only perform one action at a time and you have to wait for the game to finish that action or cancel it prematurely in order to do something else. It’s tedium that’s just carried over from the old build of the game. Other stuff includes graphical and control settings. The actual update that made it “RuneScape 3” was the update which introduced the overhauled camera and UI, and feelings about the new UI aside, the game was improved dramatically with this update. They added a lock feature to the chat log, which allowed them to free up the ability for camera movement to be rebound to other keys besides the arrow keys, enabling WASD camera movement that’s standard in most PC games today. The camera in RS3 is also far less restricted by the developers, from what I recall, because it doesn’t do these forced angle snaps where the terrain in specific areas of the map forced the camera upwards and gives you a top-down view that you can’t change until you’re out of that section. It feels so much better to play, and you can get a much better view of your surroundings in RS3 versus OSRS when you’re out exploring the world. These sorts of thing may seem insignificant in the bigger picture, but they stack up over time as you run into more and more of them, as well as the frequency at which you encounter these differences. I played through a ton of RS3 as an Ironman when I got back into the game in 2021, and every time I went back to Old School I had to rewire my brain and my muscle memories to account of the limitations of OSRS. It made switching between versions a jarring experience, and that’s not great for someone like me who enjoys both games and sees strengths and weaknesses in both.
The bank overlay UI is another one. RS3 has a separate inventory window that is attached to the bank screen and updates visually on the client side of things. Your actual inventory is in the background and changes are made with the server like usual, leading to that thing where there’s a delay between when you click on an item to take it out of your bank and when it actually appears in your inventory. The overlaid UI acts independently of this due to it only displaying changes on your end, which means that when you click on items to add and remove them to your bank, everything in the overlay UI updates in real time: clicking on a banked item makes it appear in your “fake” inventory instantaneously, and clicking on the item again to put it back into your bank also happens right away. It doesn’t alter how the game exists, items still have to wait for the server like it always had to, but it does make the visual feedback for the player feel much more responsive, because actions occur in the bank screen at the same moment that the player performs them. Like I said, tiny changes like this just leading to the game having a much smoother feel. The game feels better to play as a user by having these delays and limits stripped away in order to create a game that feels like it’s from 2023 and doesn’t suffer from outdate game design from a different point in time where games were less sophisticated than they are today.
@@GetMoneyFuggBidges Never understood why osrs player hate so much on us RS3 players. Did we do something to you? Like, why can't we just like the game for what it offers?
@@DalmarLesagebecause they’re insecure and salty 😂 I don’t need to play OSRS, I was there for the real thing. Nowadays I have a career that precludes me from play vidya games 24/7 and chopping a maple tree for 4 hours like I’m 12 again lol. I just want to log in and PVM or do ports or whatever. Not spend 20 years killing cows for leather. The challenge isn’t compelling because my real life is fulfilling and I don’t want to work a second job in a game. Different strokes. MTX doesn’t bother me. I see that shit and ignore it. People buying their 99s doesn’t affect me because they miss out on the experience of training some of the cool skills that OSRS doesn’t have, like archeology. I’m not competing with anyone, just having a good time.
Cosmetics are the biggest factor for me in an mmorpg. I just can’t have fun if my character doesn’t look cool. I don’t care how much more popular old school is. Runescape 3 let’s me be a samurai and for me that makes it a million times better than old school
@@celestialsylveon6453yeah I saw but besides the hat I would never guess it’s a samurai outfit if it wasn’t called that lol the one in rs3 is just better in my opinion
@@matthewanderson8402 I looked it up and honestly to me both of them look like 2 sides of stereotypical samurai outfits to me, maybe they're just from different eras? I swear I've seen both styles before
@@celestialsylveon6453it’s definatly not bad, to be honest if I ever do decide to jump to old school that’s definatly gonna be what I get. It’s just that the one in rs3 matches my tastes more. I like the armored samurai look over the ronin one
id say this is very one sided more so how you enjoy Osrs more then RS3 obviously, so this was unfair to begin with, id say both games are pay 2 win, RS3 is just more openly advertised, but osrs sells gold so cheap you can basically buy the skills if your willing to train. RS3 is more DAD friendly id say, more AFKable, and more forgiving. to where OSRS needs majority of attention compared to its counterpart. RS3 i can literally AFK for 20mins and get a great experience per hour, while making millions of gold per hour, and if you want to pay more attention, you can use the seren spirit equips etc. feels more rewarding to me at least as a casual.
Great video mate! RS3 also has the Alt1 Toolkit plugin :) doesn't hold a candle to Runelite in sheer options but is still relevant to that section for analysis! My personal favorite plugins for Alt1 are for Clue Scrolls and the RS3 skilling boss Croesus.
@@Queven.But not everybody agrees with that? Lol I've played since 07 and I'm on rs3 still.. It's the original game for me, not some "clone" of what it used to be.. I love OS too, but Imma stick with the same game I've always played.. It's like music, at the end of the day it's all subjective, and we like what we like!

@@Queven. Hahahah genuinely said I like playing old school too just not as much.. I think you're missing the point here which was that the original video was stupidly biased towards old school.. At the end of the day, it's a game just play the one you like more? Lmao "Little man" shows what a neanderthal I'm conversing with though.. Hahah 😜
for those who dont know rs3 has a option to use old school combat removing ability's and using an old school interface you get all the glory of rs3 while having old school combat and interface hope this helps as he didint mention it on here
I have a couple 99s in rs3 been playing since 2009 i have 1 billion in the bank but i find old school more rewarding but rs3 is a great game in its own right
The lack of mtx in osrs is a big reason that most of the community say that osrs is superior to rs3, but what they mostly fail to realize is that the only reason osrs doesn't have mtx is that rs3 does. Rs3 is acting as a shield for osrs when it comes to mtx, and I'll bet you anything that once Jagex gets sold to new investors, they are going to pressure the devs into adding mtx into osrs. Once that happens, you'll start to see a lot of osrs players either complain really hard, or migrate over to rs3. I seriously doubt very many would actually quit, since they are all too enfranchised at this point.
I would quit like a lot of other people have. No one wants to play a game They don’t enjoy. I quit my account. I started in 2004-2015. Comp cape and 450+ days played. No one is going to play a game they don’t enjoy. Most people that play osrs are the ones that quit rs3. So I doubt “most will complain or just go back to rs3” when that was the core reason why so many quit, including myself.
Bro how do you say osrs combat is better than rs3. rs3 combat system is crazy complex with insane boss mechanics. Osrs combat is basic asf compared to it.
Just gave rs3 a shot for the first time since osrs and im actually hooked. Player owned farms is cool, smithing is better, mining is better, quality of life updates just make sense, less bots, grand exchange isn’t full of spammers
@@zerolosi just seen the J1mmy vid. i think imma go Rs3 ironman. i want immersion nd have fun. i’m fairly new to pc games and was looking for something good to play, i play valorant mostly but i just want some other main games that don’t stress me out all the time lol but really just something to pass time
@@KorruptKeem best way to know what to play, try both. see what you enjoy. ignore others their opinion because what others think honestely doesn't matter. both are games. games are to have fun, so what makes you have fun = what you should play :p
Honestly i play both ive been playing runescape since 2004 and have my original account i finished everything i needed to on osrs now on my og account im completing stuff on rs3 so it doesnt matter its fine to try both 😊 i do personally prefer osrs cos that graphics and version of the game i grew up with
So playing both and playing rs since 07, I can say that Osrs will have to get to a point were it's stagnant or does everything rs3 does except eoc which is basically rs2.
Tbh if it weren't for the slow af regeneration for running in osrs I'd have mained it but after trying rs3 and finding that i can run alot and regeneration take a little i had to main it. Also you forgot to mention that rs3 offers the legacy interface which makes the UI exactly like osrs. So by applying thr legacy interface and the legacy combat system you really don't have anything to complain about lol. I don't know about the spinning wheel but having these daily keys which you earn from playing and getting some free xp lamps feels really rewarding and nice, at least for me. I kinda hate the ability to easy travel wherever you want without a cooldown, i kinda wish they add a cooldown to each area to travel to so you can see people running around. I swear these areas are always empty af. I personally love the osrs graphics and i wish they will give the option to have these graphics in rs3 someday like the original combat and UI they added.
Legacy combat nowadays isn't viable for nearly anything I've heard, and looking at how big pvmers have like 3-5 action bars on their screen, inventory, spellbooks, etc I think legacy interface isn't either, but they are useful for onboarding more players!
@@celestialsylveon6453 viable and meta are two different things. You are mistaking the two. I main legacy and the only boss i havent killed solo is raksha and solak, but i have duoed them.
@@OmniDan26 Oh wow that's better than I expected. I didn't think with all the bosses revolving around EoC abilities that legacy would do well, but I also don't boss on either game so I have an outsider perspective.
as a new player to Runescape, I'm genuinely about to quit RS3, for OSRS. I don't like RS3's combat system, and as antiquated that OSRS' combat is, it looks more fun than RS3. I'm having a hard time leveling my combat skills over 60, because I just don't enjoy the combat, it's not difficult at all, it's just not fun.
@@DCUOCover about to renew my membership for the 3rd time here in a few days in OSRS. It's been a great time. Love it love it love it. So excited for Trailblazer Reloaded.
Enjoy a thumb down for bias and misleading new players. I'm an OSRS player but unlike most of it's playerbase, I have dignity to tell people the truth when comparing RS3 and OSRS.
i dont feel you are qualified to make this review, imo your very bias. i saw you tried not to be. ill give you that. microtransaction for both, ie pay to win. i can spend 20 dollars as a new player and get 30m+ in osrs thats an advantage, many similar arguements can be made on your comparisons. and yes i play both so im not going out on a limb to defend my baby as many fanbois do for their hobbies. both gaves have their flaws yet you only gave the flaws for rs3. even when you claimed a pro for rs3. it came with a contradiction of "i still feel osrs did it better"
I came here to say the same thing. I was read to hear pros for both games and cons. Or here's why RS3 is cool and here is why osrs is cool. Take your pick. But this was just "here is what osrs has, it's perfect and amazing. Oh and rs3 has this and I don't like it and neither do others". I also only play osrs lol
but it is still realworld trade made legal by jagex, so its pay2win. doesnt matter how you define it. if it is still possible to buy in game currency even with an extra step it. then it counts and should be listed as such@@sugamynutz731
Ive never played either game but after watching this video i dont think ill play either still, nothing in this video was enticing for me to play the game. Also some constructive criticism try to still more neutral you were very bias also a big selling point of OSRS was third party plugins which doesnt fell fair to talk about if youre talking about the face value of the game
It is annoying to me that things like runemetrics have to be paid for when free in osrs, also hate having to buy dyes for special skin colors, should be a permanent unlock once bought at least
I played both. RS3 is very easy and not time consuming, which is the reason why it's so boring and don't make sense. As for OSRS, I understand the grind, but eventually it's all worth it. I take pride in grinding for results. Also, I love it when there are a lot of communities. I don't see much people playing rs3 unlike osrs which is still popular.
RS3's interface is not the hot mess you claim it to be. It's actually fairly easy to find everything on it and you can customize it to have any interfaces and menus you want available at all times. OSRS on the other hand has a very static interface with a lot of submenus crammed into different areas and not all of them are intuitive, not to mention the fact that you can't actually move or resize anything in the interface itself. Summoning wasn't hated because it was overpowered... Summoning was hated because it was poorly implemented... Combat Summons have always been weak and became even weaker with EoC... Skill summons were scattered around at seemingly random levels and offered too little benefit to be worth using... and BoBs were about the only summons worth using besides Bunyips and Unicorns for most content... and Leveling Summoning was (and still is) an absolute nightmare... and the addition of the Protect from Summons prayer rendered combat summons 100% useless PvP. At the end of the day the only summons anyone ever found useful were Tortoises, Pack Yaks, Bunyips, Unicorns, Abyssal anythings, & Steel Titans. The community has been asking for Summoning to be reworked since it was first added... I've been playing RS since the days of Classic... and I honestly have to say, I prefer EoC over legacy OSRS combat... there is just no challenge in legacy OSRS with the combat at all... turn on this prayer at this time, swap for that attack, step into boss to disrupt melee rotation... it's all just so simple... EoC has all of those same mechanics but with more ways to deal with them in addition to all new mechanics as well. So what if it has a hotbar now... you can literally automate your entire hotbar rotation if you want or you can enable Legacy combat mode if you really hate EoC that much... OSRS combat just doesn't hold a candle to RS3 combat. EoC also tackled a longstanding issue in RS... The lack of utility in function of Melee & Ranged combat... in OSRS and Legacy Mode Magic is king... Spellbooks offer stuns, weakness, and reflected damage in addition to being able to do damage. Ancient Magics was a massive game changer when it was released because now Mages could freeze you and everyone around you repeatedly without losing any damage, they could use blood spells to heal themselves, and they finally had access to the one thing that gave melee & ranged an edge too... Poison... EoC fixed this by at first just giving Melee & Ranged a ton of utility skills to even the playing field out with Magic and then they added them to magic as well and reined in the power of various spells to keep the balance... I haven't had a chance to mess around with Necromancy much since I haven't had the funds to renew my Sub since it was added so I'm not sure how it interacts with the original combat triangle yet... but what I have seen feels very rushed and incomplete... RS3 does actually have poles for various updates... its' just not for ALL updates... and it's typically more used for information gathering (like how Polls were used back in the early 2000s). Some updates have actually been kept out of RS3 as a result of community polls, and some only ever happened because of them too. Sure OSRS may be more community driven, but as you yourself even said, sometimes this isn't actually a good thing since many much needed updates are frequently out voted in OSRS.
Debating switching over to rs3 to keep that atmosphere maybe but I just cant be botherd to get into the sweat/super punishing mentallity of os dont get me wrong i know its all optional but im just really mot that crazy into gaming like i used to be and i wanna feel like i can accomplish what want in a realistic time without having to get carpeltunnel...havent really tried yet so i could totally be wrong...just need to find an unbiased review.
The main reason i'll always prefer rs3 to osrs is the essence of finality, being able to use any special attack with another weapon is just amazing and makes the combat a lot more fun. I'm really surprised you gave combat to osrs since there never seems to be anything that interesting while rs3 bosses are a lot more challenging and provide much more stimulation in my opinion. PvP is always gonna be osrs though can't dispute that fact. When i was a kid and had all summer to play osrs I loved the game but now having a lot less time on my hands I couldn't imagine trying to play it to get a max cape or anything like that. Great video though!!!!! Have a great day everyone!!
@@stuartwillems i never said that having more players in OSRS than RS3 means that. Im saying it in general. Nothing in rs3 is better than osrs. The "numbers dont lie is about everything, not just player count"
What happened to me is ive always been a fan of old school RuneScape but i day last year i decided to try runescape 3 for the shits of it and decided to come back to old school and i just couldn’t play it anymore because it just felt way too slow towards anything and everything lol So ive been stuck and addicted to RuneScape 3 which its been a one hell of a blast when i thought id actually hate it but it actually made me dislike old school instead even though its still a great game but runescape 3 was a breath of fresh air
Depends Osrs technically will have a longer play time. Just more grinding. Osrs has nostalgia powers. It's simple, fun, grindy. Good if you have a lot of time Rs3 is more... pretty. Your grinds take much less time (largely due to QoL items that increase your carry space for materials) the combat looks pretty and has a lot of animations. Though the graphics are hit or miss tbh. End game content is better than osrs overall.
This is simple, play OSRS while doing AFK things in RS3, i like PVM in RS3 and I love the long ass grind and the ranomd folks your run into in OSRS. The huge downside to OSRS, is there's a bit every 3 feet
I dunno... I'm tired of every reviewer saying "Most people quit over the Evolution of combat" That might have been true a decade ago when OSRS first came out, or in 2007 when rs3 was first changed... but in 2024 if you are playing rs3 you go into it with your eyes wide open...
I played rs3 from 2004-2015. Had a completionist cape and was like 1300-1500 in dung. All for nothing. I don’t play rs3 because I’m always lost when I go to play. I don’t understand anything in the game. The only thing I use rs3 for is membership. $60 a year for rs3 to only play osrs. Membership hasn’t been that cheap since 2004. I enjoy osrs for the nostalgia. I miss summoning or the noted magic notes. For fun I made an rs3 account spent $100 on “spins” and got my fresh lvl 3 account an untrimmed slayer cape with the dragon key to bind the cape. And 99 summoning. I haven’t been on the account since. I don’t think I’ll ever play rs3 again.
I kinda wish that party hats and other holiday collectibles remained rare in Osrs. I remember almost picking up a red party hat that someone put into the fally party room back in the day. Now I have a stack of them and their worth nothing :/
Rares should have remained rare EOC just fucked everything, jagex killed their game and still can't admit it in 2023. Trying to fix something that wasn't broken to compete with other dead RPGs that are no longer popular
I’ve been looking into getting back in RS. I haven’t played since 08, but I do remember having a Santa hat and a yellow party hat. Disappointing to hear they’re worthless now.
@@Latinblood59 I almost picked one up someone put in the fallidor party room. Saw it on the ground and clicked but had dial up back then so another kid got it first. It was a red party hat
as someone who played rs3 for 15 years off n on and recently started osrs i have to say osrs is so much better IF you use runelite and plugins sure rs3 has alt1 but i barely used it except for clues and afk timer, quests in rs3 are annoying because u need to watch a guide and follow along the fact that i can just load up a quest i wanna do in quest helper and do it makes questing actually enjoyable i also feel like oldschool has a better progression you dont have to spend billions on gear that is relevent . i will say rs3 has some stuff that is better like 120 capes and more skills that i hope oldschool will start doin (sailing is coming) but yea im having a ton of fun on oldschool way more then i thought i would
They hate because its a different game. I knew OSRS like my own pockets as a kid. Sweating for d claws was fun for a while. But I dont see the fun after 18 years of it.. For me RS had to move forward.
Still way more players. It’s obvious just through the amount of viewership and content on OSRS vs RS3. Bots aren’t watching OSRS videos. Also there are also bots on RS3, so..
@@ICM9 It seems like that's not the case if we look at the players online on both websites ? Currently 159,161 online players in RS3, 123,550 on OSRS, at the time I'm writing this, OSRS has probably more engagement about content creators tho
@@shunji3641 That is because on the RS3 page, the number is both games combined, OSRS only shows the count for OSRS alone. The disparity in player count is huge. It's obvious if you just play both games even a little. I find so many more players on OSRS everywhere. Of course thats my experience, but the general sentiment online makes it pretty obvious which is more popular.
For trying to be unbiased this video was extremely biased, it really seems like you haven't played enough of Rs3 to speak about it, there were parts you were flat out wrong about, or maybe you just don't know the game all that well, maybe you should stick to osrs videos and not make comparisons when you haven't even played both.
I have played both games and have played for 20 years now. RS3 sucks in every way except for PVM which is superior to OSRS in every way. If you also like easy skills levelling faster and easier then RS3 is better and like me you don't have the time to spend on super long OSRS grinds. OSRS has bigger community both are equally friendly if you ask me. OSRS has better economy would be enhanced if they remove the GE as for me personally that's when i liked Runescape best. To me combat is preferential and both OSRS and RS3 have their good and bad points OSRS is simple and there is a clean feel to combat while RS3 is crazy but getting good at it is harder and makes you feel like some sort of 300apm starcraft player which sometimes is awesome but other times is just a lot of hard work. Bossing / PVM RS3 is hands down the better game the bosses have more mechanics and are generally harder than in OSRS.
Well, I came here expecting another very biased video from another clueless OSRS purist, but you actually maintained a fair evaluation throughout most of the video and stated correct information about it. I do still think it was quite silly of you to say the combat is better in OSRS, though. No one who has significant experience with both combat systems would say that unironically. I also giggled a little bit when you showed a screenshot of the lumber mill that no longer exists as an example of RS3's graphics.
at around 15:00 mark you speak about how osrs devs only implement ideas with 70%+ approval and it makes me wonder, was there even such a poll for including runescape bonds? caust it doesnt look like osrs community enjoys microtransactions, so i cant really see them approving this...
Agree on most things but hard disagree on PvM and bossing, (coming from someone who used to play both games). Rs3 is still miles ahead on this. Pray flicking, squaremarking and sidestepping isnt fun nor engaging
a big reason why osrs is better is because of runelite if os didnt have runelite and all the plugins id have to say rs3 would be better probably to me quest helper plugin alone already makes me love osrs alot better if that wasnt a thing i dont think id be enjoing os as much as i am
I'm not particularly fond of this video although it's defending my preferred version of the game. It's very biassed and doesn't paint an accurate picture of what rs3 Actually is. If you're going to make an unbiased video, you shouldn't be biassed.
Lol what is even this "comparison"? You lost it for giving out the combat point to osrs because "you need to actually know the tick system, different spells, movement, mechanic...", literally all of that is required in rs3 high end pvm plus more🤣, you can say you prefer osrs combat more but this is not even a comparison, you're just listing what osrs combat has to offer, saying its so good and disregard rs3 altogether lmao.
I just recovered my main from 10yrs ago and now it’s an rs3 charector. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the stupid interface. And all I have left on that account is 13mil which was a decent chunk of change back then, apparently that’s worthless now. Also my 99 mage and fletch is apparently no big deal in the new game. I wish I could play it in osrs mode cause that’s all I know and that’s where that account shined.
If we are being real, RuneScape 3 is a way better game. & bossing is better in rs3. Combat is also better and more polished since everyone’s early views of EOC. Mtx is the only thing that kills it. Been playing since 04’ don’t @ me 😂
This is the worst comparison video i have ever watched. Completely biased even though he said he'd be unbiased. This would be great if you actually named the video os is better tham rs3 and heres why.
Runescape 3 is for people who are busy in real life. Old school RuneScape is for those who have thousand of hours to play and grind. Life or no life. Pick your poison ☠️
As a new player trying rs3 ironman for about 6hrs it was fun but the combat i couldn’t stand it anymore with all the skills and such was a turn off for me. As a person who don’t care for graphics i think osrs might be my new home i will be giving it a shot soon cause the simplicity of it is something i like while rs3 overly complicate things i feel like.
EOC litteraly took away what Runescape had over other mmos and i can't really understand why youd want to play a game like WOW and not just go play it unless your actually tired of blizzards bs and want to be enthralled in a game that is simmilar but with better/more respectable devs then thats litteraly the only reason i can see anyone playing rs3. i played rs in 2006 and played as it developed and fell in love with the hd update and summoning then dungeoneering came out and it left a bad taste in my mouth for rs and its basic loop then the dreded EOC HDOS is a godsend for back when i saw back then
Nah back when EOC happened, Blizzard was still respectable. Now, Blizzard took a major turn for the worse, but so did the devs in charge of what came to be RS3, so picking RS3 over WoW due to the people behind them is a bit silly. Now, there is no question WoW is a better polished, more popular, and more content game compared to RS3. Both require a subscription of a similar price to have a real experience with the game. There’s no reason to pick RS3 imo. If you want a game with EOC and more cosmetics, go to your typical theme park MMOs like WoW. If you like what made RuneScape special, just go to OSRS. I’m not sure how people can enjoy the microtransaction hell that is RS3 with all these superior options everywhere.
@@Merciless_Mar Lol, I don't know why you're so aggressive. Ego tripping because you made a UA-cam comment? Lmao. Yes, for the most part I am agreeing with you. However since you mentioned the point of being tired of Blizzard's poor management and more recent track record as a reason to NOT play WoW. I offered a counter-point, saying, that back when EoC released (2012), Blizzard as a studio was still highly resgarded in the gaming community, so it wouldn't really make sense to stick to EoC and not transition to WoW if that was what you wanted DURING THAT TIME. As of NOW though, BOTH WoW and RS3 have shown clear signs of poor management, so if you were to disapprove of Blizzard it would make sense to disapprove of the direction RS3 took. So it would make zero sense to stay with RS3 as an alternative to WoW both before AND now. Seems like you have some anger issues and poor reading comprehension if you think I simply regurgitated what you said.

Osrs is definitely the more serious and rewarding out of both games… but rs3 is definitely fun when I want to play easy RuneScape
@@judemolina8262 an end game pvmer for both games would know rs3 is way harder lol
I play RS3 because the lack of time you need to invest into OSRS to get somewhere or actually get your account where you’d like it to be. Yes that’s the entire point of playing the game. But for me personally I enjoy both games, but I don’t want to sit for hours and hours either on mobile or PC skilling the old way and slow xp rates on osrs when I can afk something on rs3 and leave my phone sitting for 10 minutes. I don’t have 10 hours to spend on a game like I did back in middle school/high school. Husband, full time career, staying fit, etc. There’s absolutely no way I can “keep up” with OSRS which pushes me away because I’m a “all in or not in” type of player when it comes to games. That’s why I stick to RS3, maxed account in 1 year from 0 (shows how fast & easy it is, not saying it’s a good thing) but it satisfies my gaming needs or whatever you want to call it
You shouldn't be playing RuneScape then... If you truly understood what RuneScape is and you're an OG then you would know RuneScape is time consuming... Who cares if you have a busy life now or don't.
@@Queven. you can’t tell me what to play or not to play lol. If I have 30 mins to play on a Monday I’m gona play. If I have 3 hours to play on a Saturday I’m gona play lol.

I relate to this a lot. I love osrs but I don't have the time to devote to it... One thing that drives me crazy about osrs is that an Ironman account takes enormous amounts of time to progress... I recently learned that RS3 allows you to make Rune items at level 50 smithing instead of 90... I'm wondering if an RS3 F2P Ironman might be enjoyable with only a hour or two per week.
@187TBAG this man really told you what what videos games you can play as a grown man 😂
Im just now started to try out rs3 after playing osrs for maybe a half a year and I think its a breeze of fresh air. I totally recommend playing them side by side so neither of them start to feel too stale like I think OSRS can start to feel after grinding for a long time.
Played both games but at the high end, RS3 boss encounters are monumentally harder than OSRS tbh.
you obviously never played OSRS if you say such non based things
i have... any high end player that plays both games unequivocally agrees with me.
Just people that only play OSRS circle jerk thinking it's harder, it's way way easier.
The only thing that was a challenge was the inferno @@SuperHovik
I can vouch for this. OSRS bosses are just about positioning and inventory management, whereas RS3 bosses require strategic use of various abilities and for you to remain aware of everything going on around you. Heck, the “strategy” for a certain few RS3 bosses is to fight them in a Legacy Combat world to make them easier even… that alone speaks volumes to the added difficulty and challenge of RS3 bosses.

One of the biggest advantages of RuneScape 3, in my eyes, is quality-of-life. There are so many minor, little tweaks made to the mechanics and core systems of the game in RS3 that allow for a smoother user experience. Old School RuneScape still _feels_ like I’m playing a game from 2007, even though the game was released in 2013 and has been continuously updated and brought into the modern day.
Some examples of what I mean by that include the way that inventory management does not cancel animations. If you cast the Home Teleport spell and then move items around in your inventory screen, in RS3 it will properly perform both actions at the same time. I found this helpful for when I was doing Farming runs to multiple patch types, and I needed to rearrange stuff in my inventory when returning to the bank to do the next set. This isn’t the case in OSRS; if you cast Home Teleport and then move an item, it cancels the teleport spell. You have to sit there and watch the long animation play through and take you to your destination before you can do anything else.
This also applies to other activists and UI elements, such as browsing through a skill’s unlocks page or a quest log while chopping trees or fishing. Again, in RS3 this works perfectly fine: your character will continue performing their tasks in the background while you’re checking up on information in the UI. If you try and do this in OSRS, the player character will stop doing what they’re doing and just stand there, and you’ll be forced to close whatever information panel you’re browsing in order to start doing your task again. It’s very restrictive in a way that is entirely unnecessary and has been remedied in the other version. You can basically only perform one action at a time and you have to wait for the game to finish that action or cancel it prematurely in order to do something else. It’s tedium that’s just carried over from the old build of the game.
Other stuff includes graphical and control settings. The actual update that made it “RuneScape 3” was the update which introduced the overhauled camera and UI, and feelings about the new UI aside, the game was improved dramatically with this update. They added a lock feature to the chat log, which allowed them to free up the ability for camera movement to be rebound to other keys besides the arrow keys, enabling WASD camera movement that’s standard in most PC games today. The camera in RS3 is also far less restricted by the developers, from what I recall, because it doesn’t do these forced angle snaps where the terrain in specific areas of the map forced the camera upwards and gives you a top-down view that you can’t change until you’re out of that section. It feels so much better to play, and you can get a much better view of your surroundings in RS3 versus OSRS when you’re out exploring the world.
These sorts of thing may seem insignificant in the bigger picture, but they stack up over time as you run into more and more of them, as well as the frequency at which you encounter these differences. I played through a ton of RS3 as an Ironman when I got back into the game in 2021, and every time I went back to Old School I had to rewire my brain and my muscle memories to account of the limitations of OSRS. It made switching between versions a jarring experience, and that’s not great for someone like me who enjoys both games and sees strengths and weaknesses in both.
The bank overlay UI is another one. RS3 has a separate inventory window that is attached to the bank screen and updates visually on the client side of things. Your actual inventory is in the background and changes are made with the server like usual, leading to that thing where there’s a delay between when you click on an item to take it out of your bank and when it actually appears in your inventory. The overlaid UI acts independently of this due to it only displaying changes on your end, which means that when you click on items to add and remove them to your bank, everything in the overlay UI updates in real time: clicking on a banked item makes it appear in your “fake” inventory instantaneously, and clicking on the item again to put it back into your bank also happens right away. It doesn’t alter how the game exists, items still have to wait for the server like it always had to, but it does make the visual feedback for the player feel much more responsive, because actions occur in the bank screen at the same moment that the player performs them.
Like I said, tiny changes like this just leading to the game having a much smoother feel. The game feels better to play as a user by having these delays and limits stripped away in order to create a game that feels like it’s from 2023 and doesn’t suffer from outdate game design from a different point in time where games were less sophisticated than they are today.

I just want to log in and PVM or do ports or whatever. Not spend 20 years killing cows for leather.

Cosmetics are the biggest factor for me in an mmorpg. I just can’t have fun if my character doesn’t look cool. I don’t care how much more popular old school is. Runescape 3 let’s me be a samurai and for me that makes it a million times better than old school

Good video, i just wish you had more clips besides watching you cook for 16min xD
Thank you ahaha tried to add S much as possible
id say this is very one sided more so how you enjoy Osrs more then RS3 obviously, so this was unfair to begin with, id say both games are pay 2 win, RS3 is just more openly advertised, but osrs sells gold so cheap you can basically buy the skills if your willing to train. RS3 is more DAD friendly id say, more AFKable, and more forgiving. to where OSRS needs majority of attention compared to its counterpart. RS3 i can literally AFK for 20mins and get a great experience per hour, while making millions of gold per hour, and if you want to pay more attention, you can use the seren spirit equips etc. feels more rewarding to me at least as a casual.
Great video mate! RS3 also has the Alt1 Toolkit plugin :) doesn't hold a candle to Runelite in sheer options but is still relevant to that section for analysis! My personal favorite plugins for Alt1 are for Clue Scrolls and the RS3 skilling boss Croesus.

The lack of mtx in osrs is a big reason that most of the community say that osrs is superior to rs3, but what they mostly fail to realize is that the only reason osrs doesn't have mtx is that rs3 does. Rs3 is acting as a shield for osrs when it comes to mtx, and I'll bet you anything that once Jagex gets sold to new investors, they are going to pressure the devs into adding mtx into osrs. Once that happens, you'll start to see a lot of osrs players either complain really hard, or migrate over to rs3. I seriously doubt very many would actually quit, since they are all too enfranchised at this point.
I would quit like a lot of other people have. No one wants to play a game
They don’t enjoy. I quit my account. I started in 2004-2015. Comp cape and 450+ days played. No one is going to play a game they don’t enjoy. Most people that play osrs are the ones that quit rs3.

More osrs should switch to/try rs3. Most enjoy it and find it to be a breathe of fresh air
So playing both and playing rs since 07, I can say that Osrs will have to get to a point were it's stagnant or does everything rs3 does except eoc which is basically rs2.

Tbh if it weren't for the slow af regeneration for running in osrs I'd have mained it but after trying rs3 and finding that i can run alot and regeneration take a little i had to main it.
Also you forgot to mention that rs3 offers the legacy interface which makes the UI exactly like osrs. So by applying thr legacy interface and the legacy combat system you really don't have anything to complain about lol.
I don't know about the spinning wheel but having these daily keys which you earn from playing and getting some free xp lamps feels really rewarding and nice, at least for me.
I kinda hate the ability to easy travel wherever you want without a cooldown, i kinda wish they add a cooldown to each area to travel to so you can see people running around.

I played both. RS3 is very easy and not time consuming, which is the reason why it's so boring and don't make sense. As for OSRS, I understand the grind, but eventually it's all worth it. I take pride in grinding for results. Also, I love it when there are a lot of communities. I don't see much people playing rs3 unlike osrs which is still popular.
No idea what would I have to do in life if I was to grind OSRS manually. Typically that's the reason most people are botting there.
RS3's interface is not the hot mess you claim it to be. It's actually fairly easy to find everything on it and you can customize it to have any interfaces and menus you want available at all times. OSRS on the other hand has a very static interface with a lot of submenus crammed into different areas and not all of them are intuitive, not to mention the fact that you can't actually move or resize anything in the interface itself.
Summoning wasn't hated because it was overpowered... Summoning was hated because it was poorly implemented... Combat Summons have always been weak and became even weaker with EoC... Skill summons were scattered around at seemingly random levels and offered too little benefit to be worth using... and BoBs were about the only summons worth using besides Bunyips and Unicorns for most content... and Leveling Summoning was (and still is) an absolute nightmare... and the addition of the Protect from Summons prayer rendered combat summons 100% useless PvP. At the end of the day the only summons anyone ever found useful were Tortoises, Pack Yaks, Bunyips, Unicorns, Abyssal anythings, & Steel Titans. The community has been asking for Summoning to be reworked since it was first added...
I've been playing RS since the days of Classic... and I honestly have to say, I prefer EoC over legacy OSRS combat... there is just no challenge in legacy OSRS with the combat at all... turn on this prayer at this time, swap for that attack, step into boss to disrupt melee rotation... it's all just so simple... EoC has all of those same mechanics but with more ways to deal with them in addition to all new mechanics as well. So what if it has a hotbar now... you can literally automate your entire hotbar rotation if you want or you can enable Legacy combat mode if you really hate EoC that much... OSRS combat just doesn't hold a candle to RS3 combat. EoC also tackled a longstanding issue in RS... The lack of utility in function of Melee & Ranged combat... in OSRS and Legacy Mode Magic is king... Spellbooks offer stuns, weakness, and reflected damage in addition to being able to do damage. Ancient Magics was a massive game changer when it was released because now Mages could freeze you and everyone around you repeatedly without losing any damage, they could use blood spells to heal themselves, and they finally had access to the one thing that gave melee & ranged an edge too... Poison... EoC fixed this by at first just giving Melee & Ranged a ton of utility skills to even the playing field out with Magic and then they added them to magic as well and reined in the power of various spells to keep the balance... I haven't had a chance to mess around with Necromancy much since I haven't had the funds to renew my Sub since it was added so I'm not sure how it interacts with the original combat triangle yet... but what I have seen feels very rushed and incomplete...
RS3 does actually have poles for various updates... its' just not for ALL updates... and it's typically more used for information gathering (like how Polls were used back in the early 2000s). Some updates have actually been kept out of RS3 as a result of community polls, and some only ever happened because of them too. Sure OSRS may be more community driven, but as you yourself even said, sometimes this isn't actually a good thing since many much needed updates are frequently out voted in OSRS.
Debating switching over to rs3 to keep that atmosphere maybe but I just cant be botherd to get into the sweat/super punishing mentallity of os dont get me wrong i know its all optional but im just really mot that crazy into gaming like i used to be and i wanna feel like i can accomplish what want in a realistic time without having to get carpeltunnel...havent really tried yet so i could totally be wrong...just need to find an unbiased review.
Try rs3 if you do lmk I’ll give you my rsn
The main reason i'll always prefer rs3 to osrs is the essence of finality, being able to use any special attack with another weapon is just amazing and makes the combat a lot more fun. I'm really surprised you gave combat to osrs since there never seems to be anything that interesting while rs3 bosses are a lot more challenging and provide much more stimulation in my opinion. PvP is always gonna be osrs though can't dispute that fact. When i was a kid and had all summer to play osrs I loved the game but now having a lot less time on my hands I couldn't imagine trying to play it to get a max cape or anything like that. Great video though!!!!! Have a great day everyone!!
Xd
there is literally no aspect which RS3 is better than OSRS. im sorry bro but your opinion is wrong. numbers dont lie
@@SuperHovik The fact that there's more people playing OSRS doesn't mean that RS3 isn't better in some aspects. That's just dumb logic.
@@stuartwillems i never said that having more players in OSRS than RS3 means that. Im saying it in general. Nothing in rs3 is better than osrs. The "numbers dont lie is about everything, not just player count"
@@SuperHovikIt's just an opinion/preference, some people like some things and some people like other things.

Ahaha
What happened to me is ive always been a fan of old school RuneScape but i day last year i decided to try runescape 3 for the shits of it and decided to come back to old school and i just couldn’t play it anymore because it just felt way too slow towards anything and everything lol
So ive been stuck and addicted to RuneScape 3 which its been a one hell of a blast when i thought id actually hate it but it actually made me dislike old school instead even though its still a great game but runescape 3 was a breath of fresh air
great vid man
Thanks so much
i wish u showed better gameplay footage to actually sell what ur saying instead of showing someone cooking
ive just started osrs while being 120 maxed on rs3, and sorry but this was extremely biased against rs3
I still don't know which one to play, I want a final answer, wich game that has more content and more fun?
Depends
Osrs technically will have a longer play time. Just more grinding. Osrs has nostalgia powers. It's simple, fun, grindy. Good if you have a lot of time
Rs3 is more... pretty. Your grinds take much less time (largely due to QoL items that increase your carry space for materials) the combat looks pretty and has a lot of animations. Though the graphics are hit or miss tbh. End game content is better than osrs overall.
@@animewarrior3bro I completely forgot about the game 🙂
@@user-rb9jj3is2s probably for the best. Lol
"Not Biased" proceeds to slander RS3 heavily for the next 16 minutes. Good video though, I really enjoyed it!
This is simple, play OSRS while doing AFK things in RS3, i like PVM in RS3 and I love the long ass grind and the ranomd folks your run into in OSRS.
The huge downside to OSRS, is there's a bit every 3 feet
Rs3 is for gen Z broccoli hair boi’s. Osrs is for the OG’s
Hahaha
I dunno... I'm tired of every reviewer saying "Most people quit over the Evolution of combat" That might have been true a decade ago when OSRS first came out, or in 2007 when rs3 was first changed... but in 2024 if you are playing rs3 you go into it with your eyes wide open...
I played rs3 from 2004-2015. Had a completionist cape and was like 1300-1500 in dung. All for nothing. I don’t play rs3 because I’m always lost when I go to play. I don’t understand anything in the game. The only thing I use rs3 for is membership. $60 a year for rs3 to only play osrs. Membership hasn’t been that cheap since 2004. I enjoy osrs for the nostalgia. I miss summoning or the noted magic notes.
For fun I made an rs3 account spent $100 on “spins” and got my fresh lvl 3 account an untrimmed slayer cape with the dragon key to bind the cape. And 99 summoning. I haven’t been on the account since. I don’t think I’ll ever play rs3 again.
You can spin to immediately get 99s? Lmao there’s no way I’d play that
bullshit $100 in keys got you 99 slayer
I kinda wish that party hats and other holiday collectibles remained rare in Osrs. I remember almost picking up a red party hat that someone put into the fally party room back in the day. Now I have a stack of them and their worth nothing :/
Rares should have remained rare EOC just fucked everything, jagex killed their game and still can't admit it in 2023. Trying to fix something that wasn't broken to compete with other dead RPGs that are no longer popular
I’ve been looking into getting back in RS. I haven’t played since 08, but I do remember having a Santa hat and a yellow party hat. Disappointing to hear they’re worthless now.
@@Latinblood59 I almost picked one up someone put in the fallidor party room. Saw it on the ground and clicked but had dial up back then so another kid got it first. It was a red party hat
Rs3 is always better
as someone who played rs3 for 15 years off n on and recently started osrs i have to say osrs is so much better IF you use runelite and plugins sure rs3 has alt1 but i barely used it except for clues and afk timer, quests in rs3 are annoying because u need to watch a guide and follow along the fact that i can just load up a quest i wanna do in quest helper and do it makes questing actually enjoyable i also feel like oldschool has a better progression you dont have to spend billions on gear that is relevent . i will say rs3 has some stuff that is better like 120 capes and more skills that i hope oldschool will start doin (sailing is coming) but yea im having a ton of fun on oldschool way more then i thought i would
They hate because its a different game. I knew OSRS like my own pockets as a kid. Sweating for d claws was fun for a while. But I dont see the fun after 18 years of it.. For me RS had to move forward.
I definitely need to give rs3 more of a chance my friends want me to start an ironman and I think it will definitely be interesting
There’s a saying that OSRS without bots barely have actual legit players compared to RS3.
Just speculation, what do you think?
It would be significantly less and even a lot of the real players use bots on their accounts so xD
Still way more players. It’s obvious just through the amount of viewership and content on OSRS vs RS3. Bots aren’t watching OSRS videos. Also there are also bots on RS3, so..
@@ICM9 It seems like that's not the case if we look at the players online on both websites ? Currently 159,161 online players in RS3, 123,550 on OSRS, at the time I'm writing this, OSRS has probably more engagement about content creators tho
@@shunji3641 That is because on the RS3 page, the number is both games combined, OSRS only shows the count for OSRS alone. The disparity in player count is huge.
It's obvious if you just play both games even a little. I find so many more players on OSRS everywhere. Of course thats my experience, but the general sentiment online makes it pretty obvious which is more popular.
@@ICM9 Oh okay, didn't know that, weird way to display player numbers tho.. I guess they're doing that to not discourage people to play RS3 lol
Buying gf 10k
For trying to be unbiased this video was extremely biased, it really seems like you haven't played enough of Rs3 to speak about it, there were parts you were flat out wrong about, or maybe you just don't know the game all that well, maybe you should stick to osrs videos and not make comparisons when you haven't even played both.
If you want RuneScape, there is only old school. If you want world of Warcraft, just go and play that.
Giving the combat to OSRS because it feels "familiar" is by definition biased. XD
i really hope Jagex don't bring in sailing.. it will definitely change the game so much!!
Both. Both.
plz change the vid name to why I should play old school runescape. this video really doesn't help new players figure pros and cons of each one.
I'm more of an osrs player but man did you nit give rs3 enough of a chance. This definitely was not unbiased.
I have played both games and have played for 20 years now. RS3 sucks in every way except for PVM which is superior to OSRS in every way. If you also like easy skills levelling faster and easier then RS3 is better and like me you don't have the time to spend on super long OSRS grinds. OSRS has bigger community both are equally friendly if you ask me. OSRS has better economy would be enhanced if they remove the GE as for me personally that's when i liked Runescape best. To me combat is preferential and both OSRS and RS3 have their good and bad points OSRS is simple and there is a clean feel to combat while RS3 is crazy but getting good at it is harder and makes you feel like some sort of 300apm starcraft player which sometimes is awesome but other times is just a lot of hard work. Bossing / PVM RS3 is hands down the better game the bosses have more mechanics and are generally harder than in OSRS.
Well, I came here expecting another very biased video from another clueless OSRS purist, but you actually maintained a fair evaluation throughout most of the video and stated correct information about it. I do still think it was quite silly of you to say the combat is better in OSRS, though. No one who has significant experience with both combat systems would say that unironically. I also giggled a little bit when you showed a screenshot of the lumber mill that no longer exists as an example of RS3's graphics.
Giving osrs bossing was laughable.
I just play whatever takes the least space 😂😂😂😂😂😂 because I play on my laptop and I need space for other things plus I can link it up to my phone 😂😂😂
at around 15:00 mark you speak about how osrs devs only implement ideas with 70%+ approval and it makes me wonder, was there even such a poll for including runescape bonds? caust it doesnt look like osrs community enjoys microtransactions, so i cant really see them approving this...
How anyone can think OSRS combat is better than rs3 blows my mind 😂
Agree on most things but hard disagree on PvM and bossing, (coming from someone who used to play both games). Rs3 is still miles ahead on this. Pray flicking, squaremarking and sidestepping isnt fun nor engaging
I love to see these comparisons, and i do think Rs3 is neat. But osrs is just the better game, and how it is it always will be.
Thank you! Yes I just got to 99 necromancy and I thought I should make a comparison on both of the games
Soy boy take 😂
a big reason why osrs is better is because of runelite if os didnt have runelite and all the plugins id have to say rs3 would be better probably to me quest helper plugin alone already makes me love osrs alot better if that wasnt a thing i dont think id be enjoing os as much as i am
I'm not particularly fond of this video although it's defending my preferred version of the game. It's very biassed and doesn't paint an accurate picture of what rs3 Actually is.
If you're going to make an unbiased video, you shouldn't be biassed.
I love RS3 art style but hate the combat it’s flipped for osrs
I loved divination
All your comments just wanted you to pick RS3 bc everyone hates their game lol
Great vid, I started with OSR recently and I was wondering if I should check the new one.
This gave me my answer... FUCK NO. Am staying in OS.
From what I can tell, I need a membership to use the RL, is this correct?
runelite? no i don't think so. but i use the jagex launcher to open osrs via runelite
@NarutoFanGirl753 thanks but I quickly gave up on the game. Not my style.
so have jagex launcher and runelite downloaded, launch jagex, select open osrs via runelite and should let u play even f2p
Lol what is even this "comparison"? You lost it for giving out the combat point to osrs because "you need to actually know the tick system, different spells, movement, mechanic...", literally all of that is required in rs3 high end pvm plus more🤣, you can say you prefer osrs combat more but this is not even a comparison, you're just listing what osrs combat has to offer, saying its so good and disregard rs3 altogether lmao.
I just recovered my main from 10yrs ago and now it’s an rs3 charector. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the stupid interface. And all I have left on that account is 13mil which was a decent chunk of change back then, apparently that’s worthless now. Also my 99 mage and fletch is apparently no big deal in the new game. I wish I could play it in osrs mode cause that’s all I know and that’s where that account shined.
Might work on your "being unbiased" here bud.
We can hear the disgust and sarcasm when you speak of RS3.
Play Osrs, choose Ultimate Ironman
If we are being real, RuneScape 3 is a way better game. & bossing is better in rs3. Combat is also better and more polished since everyone’s early views of EOC. Mtx is the only thing that kills it. Been playing since 04’ don’t @ me 😂
This is the worst comparison video i have ever watched. Completely biased even though he said he'd be unbiased. This would be great if you actually named the video os is better tham rs3 and heres why.
Runescape 3 is for people who are busy in real life. Old school RuneScape is for those who have thousand of hours to play and grind. Life or no life. Pick your poison ☠️
Yeah that’s a good point
I thought osbuddy was not supported and could get you banned?
I think it’s still aloud?
As a new player trying rs3 ironman for about 6hrs it was fun but the combat i couldn’t stand it anymore with all the skills and such was a turn off for me.
As a person who don’t care for graphics i think osrs might be my new home i will be giving it a shot soon cause the simplicity of it is something i like while rs3 overly complicate things i feel like.
Yes bro
im not a fan of OSRS community for bossing they're really toxic.....
EOC litteraly took away what Runescape had over other mmos and i can't really understand why youd want to play a game like WOW and not just go play it unless your actually tired of blizzards bs and want to be enthralled in a game that is simmilar but with better/more respectable devs then thats litteraly the only reason i can see anyone playing rs3. i played rs in 2006 and played as it developed and fell in love with the hd update and summoning then dungeoneering came out and it left a bad taste in my mouth for rs and its basic loop then the dreded EOC HDOS is a godsend for back when i saw back then
Nah back when EOC happened, Blizzard was still respectable. Now, Blizzard took a major turn for the worse, but so did the devs in charge of what came to be RS3, so picking RS3 over WoW due to the people behind them is a bit silly.
Now, there is no question WoW is a better polished, more popular, and more content game compared to RS3. Both require a subscription of a similar price to have a real experience with the game. There’s no reason to pick RS3 imo. If you want a game with EOC and more cosmetics, go to your typical theme park MMOs like WoW. If you like what made RuneScape special, just go to OSRS. I’m not sure how people can enjoy the microtransaction hell that is RS3 with all these superior options everywhere.
@@ICM9 thank you for regurgitating what i said while adding nothing
@@Merciless_Mar Lol, I don't know why you're so aggressive. Ego tripping because you made a UA-cam comment? Lmao.
Yes, for the most part I am agreeing with you. However since you mentioned the point of being tired of Blizzard's poor management and more recent track record as a reason to NOT play WoW. I offered a counter-point, saying, that back when EoC released (2012), Blizzard as a studio was still highly resgarded in the gaming community, so it wouldn't really make sense to stick to EoC and not transition to WoW if that was what you wanted DURING THAT TIME.
As of NOW though, BOTH WoW and RS3 have shown clear signs of poor management, so if you were to disapprove of Blizzard it would make sense to disapprove of the direction RS3 took. So it would make zero sense to stay with RS3 as an alternative to WoW both before AND now.
Seems like you have some anger issues and poor reading comprehension if you think I simply regurgitated what you said.
@@ICM9 i honestly don't know which comment is more triggered this one or the first one bro made 2 separate paragraph response and says im triggered chill bro play what you want to play i was just stating my piece on why games like ra3 still exsist
@@Merciless_Mar I wasn't triggered bro, I was just trying to make conversation with you... I didn't think you would get so offended by a simple respone lol. Do you just lash out at everyone? Maybe don't leave comments then lmao.
Definitely need a different clip
Would you invest in Etherscape?
not a good review. very biased
this sounds perfectly neutral but i cant help but notice everytime u talk about rs3 its about u have to pay for everything xP
So if you pay a sub for one do you get both?
Yes it's one of the good things about this company model and I do randomly get on rs3 for a few weeks to work on my original main
If you want to play a dead game that feels like a solo MMO riddled with MTX then RS3 is for you! OSRS has the best jagex CM mods that love the game, however on rs3 they don't give a f. they're clueless about the game they work on.
