What do you hate the most about Blizzard?
>>342858871
everything
There will never be a Warcraft IV.
Their unapologetic destruction of Blizzard North. That was the end of old Blizzard and the beginning of Nu-Blizzard.
Also Metzen is the biggest hack in the industry.
>>342858871
Modern Blizzard is literally Magtheridon making us drink his corrupted demon jizz
>>342858871
They only make casual games now.
>>342858871
Nothing really, normally as soon as /v/ starts hating a game i start liking it, and also works the other way around.
Take for example Witcher and Skyrim.
/v/ now hates witcher and loves skyrim, which means that Witcher is actually pretty fucking neat.
/v/ hates diablo 3, at the start yes the game was quite bad but Jay "fuck that loser" Wilson left and now the game is pretty fucking fun, but /v/ hates it more then ever.
/v/ is a good place to review games if you see everything in an "oposite day" kind of way
>>342858871
I've literally never played a single Blizzard game so I have no idea what to think.
>>342859613
>/v/ now loves skyrim

70% accuracy
15/mo for the same content 14 months in a row every xpac, blizzdrones will defend this. Each expansion not giving a free month, blizzdrones will defend this
>>342858871
Trying to Omni-pander
Storyline behind games(What the fuck metzen seriously)
That's about it.
Streamlining everything and F2P
>>342858871
i hate how blizzard took my weak willed friends, from all sorts of gaming communities, and made them into wow-exclusive players, who then no longer bothered to associate with anyone but other wow players
Having the best programmers and artists in the industry yet also having the worst management and executive leadership in the business.
>>342859376
>now
Lazy as shit with their IPs.
>>342858871
Their corruption of once loving Judaism
They come across as very arrogant and believe that they know what the fans wants better than they do.
I hate that they took an incredible and relatively deep story of Warcraft 3 and frozen throne and turned it into a shit fest of "lul, major plot character? Duuuhhhhrrrrr make them go crazy so players can kill it" husk of it's former glory titled "World of Warcraft"
How's Warcraft 3 aged? I've been thinking about getting 3 and the expansion for awhile (not pirating before you guys ask) to experience Warcraft lore at it's peak but my country's currency going deeper and deeper in the shitter and 20 usd is becoming more and more expensive
>>342858871
That they used to be so fucking good.
They got a little too jewish, catering to casual players with their hardcore games with hardcore lore.
Their games are so good and would be absolutely astonishing if they were much harder and required more skill than luck.
>>342861260
even worse their management completely fucked up with dota, then ruined the custom maps in all their other games so it wouldn't happen again
>>342858871
Every single modern Blizzard game follows one simple formula:
>Shallow combat anyone can pick up
>Compensate with aggressive, colorful visuals to keep you playing
It's very obvious they are psychologically taking advantage of people. I hate them for it.
>>342861763
Why do you even need to ask
WC3 isn't even that old
>>342858871
Their artsyle direction in warcraft game took a wrong direction
It bothers me that the only schtick they have left is running their old IPs (from back when they were an actually decent company) and just running them into the fucking ground.
Diablo got Diablo 3.
Starcraft got Starcraft 2 (in 3 pieces no less).
Warcraft got modern WoW.
Their first new thing in a while, Overwatch, is a game that's completely non-canon with its own setting which still baffles me to no end.
The only thing they have besides is making games that go "Hey remember those characters and things from when our IPs were actually good? Well here they are all mashed together to keep you numb on nostalgia while you keep giving us money".
I feel like everything went bad the moment they joined with Activision. It's like they just suddenly forgot what made their games good and fell for the "wider audience" meme.
They also fucking ruined MMOs, albeit unintentionally, because after WoW was so successful every other MMO tried to shamelessly copy it even after it's turned to shit post Activision merger.
>>342861763
The story is fantastic, the graphics are dated, and were even dated for their time. The game length is easily over 20 hours on the campaign alone, though you'll find little replay value worth in the vs computers solo. Also battle.net is mostly dead for it unless you enjoy dota.
In short, want an awesome story? Pick it up.
Want something that will give you over 60 hours of entertainment? Pass on it.
I love blizzard tho
All I play are blizzard games
is there an easy way to play Warcraft 1 and 2 anymore?
they arent for sale anywhere
>>342858871
Their success
>>342862024
dota is valve you fucking stupid faggot
>>342862101
>>Shallow combat anyone can pick up
easy to learn hard to master
whats wrong with that?
if anything its a plus
>>342862586
This.
Or, you know, just pirate it and you can use GameRanger to play custom games with people or just friends. It works great.
>>342862779
That's dota 2 you double nigger fuck face.
>>342858871
They hate their fans so much it feels like they constantly try to piss in my face while trying to pickpocket me.
>Screw your dungeons here are some mounts for 20 bucks each
>>342858871
Speaking of Blizzard
Why does every single one of their games since WotLK have the exact same artstyle?
In In SC2, D3, Hearthstone, HotS and OW everything from buildings to characters all look like shiny round edged rubber dolls and toys. Wtf is up with that? Did they fire all of their artist after WC3 or something?
>>342862848
>easy to learn hard to master
No, this is blizzard.
It's more like
>easy to learn, easy to master
>>342862671
>you hear a quiet "yo ho fiddle de dee from the distance"
yeah, pirate it if its not for sale
>>342863002
so, have you mastered sc2 or overwatch yet?
>>342863002
>I haven't tried playing Zarya or Genji yet
>>342862101
you just described all mobile games
Why did they go from
>lets make games that we enjoy for our fans
To
> lets half arse games that bring in enough money to finally have metzen od from coke
?
>>342858871
People actually defend their jewery.
>>342862779
yeah, because blizzard didn't realize what a big fucking cash crop dota was going to be.
The original dota was made on wc3.
Valve saw that shit and has made millions off of it.
>>342858871
they give cancer to their old franchises
>>342862130
14 years old is pretty old, dude.

Older than some posters on this board.
>mfw i bought every wow expansion, every starcraft expansion, diablo 3 and the expansion, and most recently overwatch
>mfw i enjoyed playing it all and feel that i got my money's worth from every purchase
>>342865846
If it don't hold up in court.
It doesn't hold up in vidya.

>WC3 is 14 years old
wtf where did 10 years go
no
>>342866202
>he doesn't global filter all names and trips
>>342858871
They keep milking WoW instead of replacing it with something actually good.
Diablo III was shit compared to II.
also >>342859376
>>342859297
The destruction of Blizzard came from Activision. Fanboys will try to deny it but it's all there.
>activision acquires blizzard before wotlk comes out
>wotlk suffers massive amounts of cut content and is also the expansion where the real money cash shop and group finder were added
>after that expansions come out more frequently but with less content and a higher price tag
>>342865846
>Mfw there are people posting on 4chan RIGHT NOW that weren't even born when Warcraft 3 came out
>>342858871
Diablo III
>>342867325
Just turned 21, and WC3 was pretty much the first PC game I bought on my laptop when I was 9.
>>342858871
They destroyed the MMORPG genre.
>>342858871
Can't balance a game for shit.
>>342866819
This.
>Legion
>45 dollaroos
>>342862413
Yeah, the lore given for Overwatch is stupid when you completely break it once within the setting of the game.
Should I buy Diablo 2?
I lost my copy years ago.
>>342869647
If you have friends to play with then sure, if not Path of Exile is a diablo esc game but free
>>342858871
Pretending Diablo 1 doesn't exist anymore.
I hate blizzard because they ruined miracle rouge
and they're gonna ruin subtlety rouge when legion drops.
>>342858871
>What do you hate the most about Blizzard?
I dont.
I dont see any use in it and I dont get hyped like others for obviously mediocre games, like vanilla D3.
They also gave my Starcraft 1 Anthology when I only registered my SC1 key so there is that ...
>>342858871
>Things that are good about Blizzard
Starcraft 2
Legacy of the Void
D3: RoS
Vanilla WoW and the first addon
Overwatch
All their classic games
>Things that suck about Blizzard
WoW after TBC, especially since Warlords
Heroes of the Storm
Classic D3
rabid fanboys
rabid haters
Killing the custom game scene in SC2
20 ping servers in OW
Did I mentioned that they completely and utterly ruined WoW beyond redemption?
>>342870521
But subtelty is a virtually unkillable/unescapable tickle machine in PvP
>>342858937
It would probly be overpriced shit
Look at SC2
>>342871041
I'd say only half of WoW is ruined at this point and the other half is great and there's such a hilarious disconnect between the two that it's only something Blizzard could have done
>>342871041
HotS isn't even that bad, they just went full fucking retard on the pricing of both heroes and skins.
the fanbase
>>342871237
>tickle
when's the last time you played wow ?
sub wasn't tickle in a very long time
>>342872513
Been dicking around in Legion beta lately; I say tickle because compared to other class uptime on me, Subtlety takes a fairly moderate amount of time to kill me; there's basically nothing I can do to stop it because of shadow dance nonsense, but it still takes a decent amount of time
>>342872513
When ever i play miracle i tickle
i can't solo kill anyone.
>>342867325
does 14-year-olds actually hang here? Because that would explain a lot, but I doubt it very much
>>342872854
lock ? what kind you should be dying in less than 10 seconds from a sub rogue who knows what he's doing and that's with out a healer.
>>342858871
Nothing. I had their fans and dumb people in general who will buy literally anything without a thought to quality or the impact on the industry as a whole.
We're mired in an unending bog of DLCs, microtransactions, subscriptions, yellow journalism, thousands of absolute garbage indie games, and companies who actively seek out ways to fuck over consumers in order to benefit themselves.
Every key, crate, and DLC purchased sinks us ever so slightly deeper into the quagmire, all the while idiots around us screaming "IF YA DON' LIKE IT, DON' BUY IT!" as they buy another 60 crates. The crash is inevitable, I'm just hoping for a second golden age after it.
>>342873704
Demo, so my pet takes some of the damage to help me be a slightly more annoying useless target in PvP; and 10 seconds is long compared to everyone else's 3 seconds
