World of warcraft vs Warhammer (good argument)?

My gripes with WoW are the lack of innovation and failure development wise. If you're going to steal from someone's lore, either 1)give credit or 2)don't butcher it and make it crap.



There's this cool idea called originality, Blizzard lacks it and I think it's slowly beginning to kill the industry as a whole. When the "Giant" of the market is little more than a "rehashing" of everyone else, it bodes ill for the entire market imo. It establishes trends for other developers to follow -- after all, every time they make a game it's a gamble, the goal is to make a profit, have to play the safe route.



I complain about WoW's incredibly niche endgame. I complain about WoW's kiddy lore. I complain about the horrible writing Blizzard does, completely contradicting itself time after time again. I complain about the fact that the character we play are incredibly over the top powerful, but not in a good way.



No, you don't feel over-the-top-powerful-badass in WoW, you feel kind of pathetic. The entire game is about numbers, and zerging. There's no honor, no courage, no dignity in taking 25 people to kill one. None at all. Where's the glory in that? There isn't any.



I complain about Blizzard's inability to maintain even half-decent roleplayers, I complain about the fact that all Blizzard does is create timesinks and then has an elite few flaunt the rewards.



Not the same time sinks every other MMO does. No, Blizzard gives you a reset and says "okay, this time you can be the best!" And you believe them, and hten you realize "Oh wait...I actually have a job."



And as far as the Chaos Gods and Mork and Gork being over the top...they're GODS. GODS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OVER THE TOP. THEY AREN'T MORTAL.



Over the top? Mazdamundi is over the top. Lord Kroak was over the top. Gotrek is over the top.



Lord Kroak FOUGHT OFF THE MOST POWERFUL DAEMONS IN THE WORLD TO DIE. He wasn't zerged by 25 pathetic little whelps. It was something BEYOND the players. (Not that it was a player controlled event).



You know how I wouldn't have complained about Illidan dying? If the encounter resulted in some kind of epic legendary NPC killing Illidan. I'd be okay with that. But I'm not okay with 25 people zerging down a demi-God. Simply because it had no place in the lore.



In the past, 25 heroes have banded together and banished a Bloodthirster in the Warhammer world. Then you also get Malus darkblade, who just rips their heads off with his bare hands.



Malus Darkblade also wields the Sword of Khaine and is possessed by a daemon.



My point is that Warcraft juices-down their heroes to our levels, not brings us up or anything like that.



My problems aren't the similarities and differences. My problem is Blizzard's failure and their ability to let-down the entire gaming community at large by putting a facade on their game





Share your thoughts please i agree with this wholeheartedly, let me know what you thinkWorld of warcraft vs Warhammer (good argument)?
I find the lore (in some place) to be new: Bloodelves loosing their power and becoming mana addicts, Unead plague making a telepathically undead army, or Dranei fleeing to Azeroth form demons. Its better then the space marine that comes up in Halo, Half-life, Doom, Quake, any FPS lol. But the 25 people zerging 1 person is designed to create a social interaction. I do agree that some gear is only given to those chosen few T6 raiders that are mostly anal bastards.World of warcraft vs Warhammer (good argument)?
Spell check it (found a bit of grammatical mistakes), and if 25 people kill one person for kicks, or if they kill the person by themselves there is no glory, honour or anything at all. Your sitting in your basement playing an MMO for countless hours. Should be interesting telling your kids about it.World of warcraft vs Warhammer (good argument)?
you got that from an english essay about originality didnt you... come on be honest
TL;DR babe :D
