Kung Fu Panda was Dreamworks

I know OP, it felt terrible.

But I've seen the raid content and played the Beta and it's a lot better than that 3 minute trailer.

>>151342357

IS THAT LE PANDA FAEC?

XDDXDXDXDXDXD

WoW isn't a vidyagaem.

It's Facebook with grinding.

>looks no different from any of their other cinematic videos

Could you at least hate WoW for legitimate reasons?

Did you know:

The pre-made opinions you form about the game before you watched the cinematic directly result to your opinion on the cinematic.

For example: If your opinion upon hearing about MoP was "Man this games going to be shit, Kung fu panda in WoW? BULLSHIT." Then you're going to say "Ha just what I thought, just typical Kung Fu Panda pixar bullshit" when you see the cinematic

If your opinion was "Man this game is gonna be great! Focusing on exploring a new world and getting back to the Horde/Alliance conflict!" then when you saw the trailer you'd say" AWESOME! Just what I expected-horde/alliance conflict being shown at its best!"

I think it looks great and I'm excited about the game

Pretty bad cinematic. Was expecting better from the people who do the most detailed cgi.

Wrath of the loch king cinematic is superior and the best cinematic produced in the vidya industry

>Orc jumps on human
>Instead of pointing the edge of his stick spear into his fall he blocks with it horizontally

i stopped watching

I liked the cinematic. Still not going to resub though.

well that's it, WoW is now officially dead.

>>151342689
we're not implying the graphics are bad you stupid faggot.

>>151342763

My son, the day you were born the very forests of lordaeron whispered the name...

Arthas.

Yeah that one was pretty badass

>>151342826
Nobody dies in a cgi

i would fuck every single blizzard employee into the mouth untill they fucking remove this shit and bring back what was good. paladins alliance only... shamans horde only etc.

It was shit, and worse than BC's imo. Vanilla's and Cata's are the best

>Good battle, good CGI, this is pretty good.

But no it's entirely because I expected it to be Kung Fu Panda, not because it literally fucking was Kung Fu Panda.

Ugh, it's completely out of character. It does that Pixar goofy character thing. Why do you keep paying this company to shit all over Warcraft?

>>151342654
You don't know the meaning of the word grinding.

No western MMO to have released in recent years has true grinding.

There are a million other reasons why people think WoW or the MMO genre is bad but grinding isn't one of them.

It's terrible.

Few goofy parts in the middle aside, it wasn't bad. OP made it out to be worse than it was.

As someone who hasn't played WoW since 3.1 I enjoyed it. It didn't take itself too seriously, didn't feel the need to be edgy and dark, but also wasn't overtly campy.

>People never played warcraft before WoW

This is what you don't understand, this is how the pandaren fucking are. Since their existence BEFORE kung-fu panda was even in development, the pandaren were a lighthearted, bouncy and happy people with a sense of honor. Yes it sucks for blizzard that a movie about kung-fu culture and animals used a a funny panda as their main protagonist, but how autistic do you have to be to think this is anything like kung-fu panda? God you people sound like 16 year olds complaining when any kind of humour happens because its not grimdark enough for you

>>151343362

This is not a legitimate response to panda criticism blizzdrone.

>>151343362
To be fair, vast majority of the people who played WC3 have long left, only post-WoW "fans" are left and they probably didn't know Pandarens were originally an April Fools joke

the WC3 panda wasn't close to as kung fu-y

>>151343458
I would say it is, since they were always a joke race. Also if you want to play this game ad hominems like "blizzdrone" aren't legitimate responses either

You're right, they were fucking goofy especially their dying animation and sound

>>151343476

as opposed to the vanilla trailer, when the mage sheeped a tauren and it flailed its legs as it hobbled in the air in a humorous way. that wasn't out of place in the dark setting?

>>151343474
I stopped playing 3 years ago but I still feel it pulling, pulling. I just want to resub but I can't, I don't have money, I'm barely getting through life as it is if I resub I'll fall apart. WoW ruined my life once before and it will do it again.

Fuck, if a video game is this bad I can't imagine how crack addicts feel.

Pro-tip: I know you never actually played Warcraft 3, or anything other than WoW post Cata but the Brewmaster you read about, that's an april fools joke gone horribly horribly wrong.

It's probably about the same since it's the same weakness of character behind it. You should try crack, it'd not be any worse so nothing can go wrong.

ok, you can say what you will but that's not the argument. The argument was that Blizzard just copied Mists of Pandaria, we were showing you how Blizzard had this concept before Kung-fu panda existed.

Nothing makes me more mad than people who think they have played Warcraft, and still adamantly insist that pandas were ever a serious "canon" consideration in the universe. Face it, fatty: pandas were an easter egg that eventually got made into a custom hero for ladder games.

>>151344409

I mean, thats a pretty decent accomplishment, you can't blame them for being outplayed by the fucking lich king

>Out of place comedy shit everywhere, accompanied by generic orchestra music

And yet, why am I not surprised?

Making a whole expansion based on something that was a Easter Egg/April Fools joke doesn't sound quite right. Why won't this game just die already? I can't imagine the NEXT expansion they're gonna spew out.

Naga actually have attatchment points for all armor and textures except certain helmets. Many private servers actually have them enabled straight up. They'll probably be in the next Xpac.

The fact that he was optional does not mean he gets to be ignored when discussing the game as a whole. You can TECHNICALLY win as Undead without using Frostwyrms, but that doesn't mean we pretend they don't exist when discussing them.

The main character was reduced to a quest giver, his comic relief sidekick stonerbro became the ruler of the nastry trorrs.

It's fitting that the cinematic took a drastic turn to banal stupidity as soon as a Panda showed up. It succinctly foretells the future of WoW.

Up to the panda, it was fantastic. Honestly they should just build more on the Alliance vs. Horde lore. Instead of

>Naga actually have attatchment points for all armor and textures except certain helmets. Many private servers actually have them enabled straight up. They'll probably be in the next Xpac.

more ships, goblin zeppelins vs gnome biplanes fighting overhead, mage artillery, that sort of stuff

File: 1345125070835.gif-(7 KB, 600x450, story239.gif)

I'm still that they decided to add Pandas instead of subraces. I would trade the entire xpac for the ability to make Gilnean humans, Dark Irons, Leper Gnomes, Highborne, Broken, Full on Beasty Worgen, Maghar, Ghouls/Geists, Jungle Trolls, Grimtotem, the crackfiend corrupted Belf things that actually used to be a memorable thing, or Gil/hobgoblins.

Most of those are already in-game and able to equip armor with full animations.

Why the fuck can we not make them?

>>151345708
They seem just fine doing pre-bakes of every other NPC group. With the update to Naga, they even have character customization options (more than Tauren), attatchments for boots, geosets for the new leg, boot, and glove models, and even work with most helmets.

There is 0 reason they would do that just so they they could have some fancy looking NPCs when they could just do that in-house.

Why can't blizzard have a huge quest line where its a battle between Alliance and Horde, and you're in the fucking middle of it. Everytime they've attempted something like this it was done awfully. NPCs just sitting around in battle position when an enemy spawns a ways away and charges them, they fight, one dies, repeat. Seriously, they could have made some AWESOME quests, but instead...we get this:

That's because it was a lighthearted easteregg.

Honestly? I like Pandaren. I had a tabletop group running the old Warcraft game and I WAS a Pandaren. I thought they were a good mix of funny and interesting that let them fit with the universe.

That said, this xpac is shit BECAUSE of them.

If they had replaced the Pandaren with god damn near any other race, make one up for the all the fucks it matters, it would have been fine. It's impossible to take serious metaphysical life lessons from a big jolly motherfucker.

If anything kills WoW, it will be this xpac. Maybe they can save it in a patch or two, somehow, but at launch, this is some SWOTR-tier shit.

Why do I still pay for this game?

Not the guy you where quoting but Garrosh is the last boss of MoP. Blizzard had to change it up when they found out "you are saving the booze!" wasn't a good goal for an expansion.

Nigger, I'm a grown man but I watch all pixar movies because they are that good.

Kung fu panda, along with all the other shitty animations, belong to Dreamworks

It was hard paying attention while I was doing the same quests every day and the same dungeon every week.
>Because thats what Cata was

I'll put this one on about the same par as Vanilla and BC's cinematics. Wrath and Cataclysm's are still the best, though.

to bad we didn't get the potentially awesome as fuck Emerald Dream expansion since that issue was solved in a FUCKING BOOK

seriously why axe the expansion where you could go all out with creativity since its supposed to not only be azeroth without the sentient races but also a sort of massive experimental zone for the Titans so it should be filled with all kinds of strange and failed experiments

i just wish they'd get ogres out for an xpac...
