hahahahahaha no i'm just kidding but seriously blizzard make a new ip for fuck's sake
I was thinking this, too. I love WC3, and I still play it regularly. It's showing its age a little, but it's still a really good game. From what I've heard about WoW, though, it sounds like they've EU'd the shit out of their lore. It feels like it's time to kill and/or redeem all the bad guys and say "happily ever after" and close the book.
I'm an amnesiac hero with vast magical powers and I'm from a small village or a destroyed army from which I'm the sole survivor. Also I don't speak and my companions voice acting are atrocious. Not to mention the colmpletely shit writing that sad little fucks will go on and on about forever because it is some seriously deep shit! Let's go out there and randomly be attacked by evry fucking thing in the world and then line up to get punched in the face. Then we'll fight a boss who is a traitor and so badass but evil so he has about thirteen hojillian hitpoints and if we didn't find that item in the second cave we were in then we're fucked.

They haven't really done much that is out of the question, aside from making Illidan go insane, which come on, was coming anyway

I would be totally cool with CoD getting the axe, but that will never happen now that 4 was so successful.

They didn't butcher it but it's screaming pretty hard. I wasn't ever terribly impressed with the warcraft lore anyway though, so it's never bothered me.
I really just want them to try something fresh and new and see what they can do with it.

I didn't know there was a large market for assassins of fictional video game characters to begin with.
Speaking of which, Assassin's Creed should suck a diseased cock and die in a ditch.
aw it was fun
mister hater of fun over here
if by "fun" you mean "super-boring mostly automated gameplay" then yeah, totally.
Yes, seriously, the game didn't do anything it promised.
Ooh, I can stalk my targets around the city and pounce on them anytime, anywhere. Shit yeah, I'm gonna be the goddamn angel of death. Oh no, wait. First I need to do some errands. Then I need permission from a bureaucrat (literally). Then I can kill the guy, but I have to approach him in a specific way, from a specific angle, and wait for him to give a speech, and then I can kill him.
Oh, and "social stealth." Yeah, I can blend in with the crowd. Except that being in a big crowd doesn't give me any bonuses, and being all by myself doesn't give me any penalties. So there's no crowd.
And it's "open world" so I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want. Except I can only go where I'm supposed to go because there's a big blue wall that keeps me on track. And there is absolutely nothing whatsoever to do except get in fights with guards. So really I could experience this level of openness by playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma and just wandering around fighting bad guys. Except that the combat system would be way better.
Also, it's so awesome to have a combat system that revolves entirely around abusing ONE MOVE for 95% of the game. I seriously wouldn't mind that, though, if it were a game like Thief or Tenchu where you're not supposed to be fighting people constantly. Unfortunately, it's practically the only interesting thing to do other than watch Altair climb shit.
Spoiler tagged because this is the 500th time I've made these points.
Also the plot sucked and I got really tired of hearing the same shit over and over again in the streets. "Come buy my items! You won't find better items anywhere! I have the items you need!" ...And then I walk up there and there's no way to interact with the guy other than combat.

But like... they are really pretty good games?
Not saying they aren't, just saying I'm sick of their neverending WW2 boner. The one game that's universally praised takes place in a different time period, so what do they do? Go right back to Hitler's rancid teat.

Though I don't think your thread will bode well there either.
dude this is perfectly alright to have here
it's not like we can have no threads about videogames
It is great.
I haven't got to try it yet.
Will it take me back to my childhood playing Megaman 1 on our NES?
Indeed.

Edit: God no, please don't take my Charmander.
But I have it on very good authority that they're quite fond of money.
aw it was fun
mister hater of fun over here

so it's
either
ALL THE MONEY
or
NOT ALL THE MONEY
Because they need to make a new Megaman Legends.
There, I said it.
But those sell like...
Japanese Hotcakes?
I guess those would involve some kind of squid.
