This game seriously has turned into a big joke now... And it starts with the cinematic.

Lookd like a mix between Pirates of the Caribbean and Kung-Fu Panda... What happened to the bad-ass cinematics WoW used to get?

Agreed, the cinematic just seems random and then you suddenly see the Panda appear and was a war between 2 factions are now fighting along side. TBC cinematic is the best one imo. YOU ARE NOT PREPARED!

Quality is amazing as always. Sadly it suffers from the theme it has to follow, but I think they got the most out of it. Still think Wotlk is the best WoW cinematic.

As usual, Blizzard displays that it's art direction and cinematography teams are superb, yet this cinematic seems to go against what they claimed would be the theme of the expansion: the war between the Alliance and the Horde. They've repeatedly stated that this expansion would be just as serious as previous iterations of the game, with a focus on the PvP conflict. However, in the release trailer of all media, the Alliance and Horde are jokingly shown to be working together in almost a comical fashion. Personally, I think that kind of humour should have been reserved for a quest chain cinematic at most. The opening trailer is just re-iterating how Pandaria was discovered and doesn't explain any of the reasons for the factions remaining there.

Thumbs up for the art and the fluidity of the cinematic as a whole, but I wasn't impressed with the theme. It certainly wasn't befitting of a WoW cinematic that was following in the footsteps of the TBC and WotLK ones.

I dont care for the lore of the game tbf i never have xD

But i think the story is they have been around in Kalimdor long before horde and alliance where even there, and have been rediscovered and will be dividing the Horde and Alliance up even further.

Main boss of expansion is the Horde guy ermm i forget his name but he is like Thrall's no2 or something xD

It's incredibly well-made, as is to be expected from Blizzard's absurdly talented cinematics studio, but this still rubbed me the wrong way. The way they framed the conflict between the Human and the Orc was going well until the Pandaren showed up and completely dominated the both of them. The whole fight was a joke after he showed up and removed any feeling of tension that could have been felt.

I understand that Blizzard wanted to show how cool the Pandaren are, as they are the major draw of this expansion, but that's usually a bad way to go about things and it definitely shows here. More respect should have been given to the Human and Orc fighting prowess and they shouldn't have gone out of their way to shoe-in humor that only toddlers would bother to laugh at.

But what do I know? I haven't played WoW in 6 years.

Very yes.

I won't be coming out of retirement for this, but I do like it.

As far as I can tell, there isn't any.

I believe this is Blizzard's way of putting WoW out to pasture, but relegating what was once a mighty warhorse to giving kids rides in a circus is humiliating.

Care to elaborate? All the hardcore and mediumcore gamers left ages ago. The only people I know still playing are girls and supercasuals (no offense).

The Rise of the Lich King was an amazing story arc. WotLK actually felt like saving the world from an evil zombie apocalypse army. Cataclysm did a terrible job of painting the antagonist- who cares about Deathwing? MoP is silly KungFu pandas.

As far as I can tell from the website, it appears the only conflict is a dash for resources by the Alliance and Horde for the new island. Yawn. Who's the antagonist? What's the conflict? Who are the heroes? Why does the world care about Pandas at all?

The quality of that cinematic is fantastic..

Unfortunately the "story" saddens me.. slapstick comedy routine?

Blizzard insisted when they announced Mists that it would not be a joke.. but then they deliver this.

Compare this to the WoTLK cinematic..

Sadly - I'll still end up buying it.
