I never got into WoW because the United States has huge swathes of land where the internet is still too shitty to play it, and my area was included back during its heyday.
David Bowie was a mediocre songwriter and mediocre lyric writer, whose only claim to fame was that he was exceptionally-handsome in an "otherworldly" manner. In essence, he helped largely to bring about the "visual" side of popular music, which started the downward-slide of the quality of music in general. The results today, speak for themselves.
David Bowie is part of the cancer that destroyed music. I hope he died very painfully in return.

The US and Australia always amaze me. They seem top modern yet tons of places seem to live like it is 1910.
In India some people even seem to live like it's 300 b.c.

Even if the movie exactly as it is now was released ten years ago, it'd still be a pile of shit.

Okay
>>70461201
Well, the US and Australia both have problems with scale. All the huge (by land area) countries run into it.
You need enough money to build the infrastructure plus connect it to the nearest also large point of infrastructure. In the united states, while we do have fuckhuge cities, there's a lot of people that live pretty spread out from one another. Areas with a low population density are usually last to get infrastructure upgrades and first to have their infrastructure monopolized, and trust law only applies on a national scale.
Many small towns only have one internet service provider that charges Google Fiber costs for basic DSL, and there's not really anything we can do about it. Larger, more advanced companies won't move in due to the town either legislating against it or a lack of a large enough customer base to pay off building the infrastructure, and more people won't move in because there's no infrastructure. It's a cycle of stagnation.
As glad as I am that yet another attempt to assimilate video games into Hollywood has failed
>Rottentomatoes
Actually read the fucking reviews submitted to Rottentomatoes, and by reviews I mean review chunklets ripped from critics blogs. They give out rottens for "it was aieet, good popcorn flick".
>>70461154
The reason blizzard waited so long to do a warcraft movie is because they never actually had as many actual players as they claimed.
>>70461115
>21%
>>70461311
Labyrinth is aggressively unique.
warcraft is regurgitated tolkien and a disservice to the franchise it's attempting to translate to the big screen.
>>70461332
This doesnt make sense.
The franchise was obviously much more popular 10 years ago (or even 5) than it is today. I dont see the relevance of number of players. Nor do I see why that would stop them from making a movie before.

Never in my entire life, have i seen anyone shit so much on their own lore, in such short time. I'm never touching WoW again. Blizzard really doesn't care about staying true to the game anymore.
>>70461397
They were getting bukkaked with investor money based upon the flub/lie/misrepresentation they were pulling several billion dollars a year. They never were. A warcraft movie at the height of wow's popularity would've represented independent verification of wow's numbers if (when) it underperformed. Meaning they could no longer pull that mealy mouthed bullshit about "subscriptions."
>>70461475
Saw it tonight I liked it to be honest. Didn't go in thinking it would be deep or anything and enjoyed it. Had some laugh out loud moments
>>70461527
Same, critics are just butthurt for some reason.
>>70461332
They actually claimed that they wanted to wait until they found the perfect director who shared their vision of what the film should be and could make the absolute best movie possible.
That makes this epic failure even more hilarious.
>>70461318
The problem isn't scale, its population density.
No one wants to lay hundreds of thousands of miles of fiber optic line to service tens of thousands of people. But its okay, as they have a lot of excuses as to why they "can't"

I'm saying 50 million is a drop in the bucket considering there's several billion people with internet access.

The end result always balances out in the end.
>>70461791
... yea, no, when people are literally being paid to spam tens, nothing ever balances out.
Warcraft had 3000 tens before it even premiered.
A lot of WoW players were banking on this film being successful and giving the game a shot in the arm through a wave of new players getting into the game, that's why they are so mad and defensive about it being a flop.
>>70461785
metzen, you're drunk.
>>70461856
Except it does in the end. The Interview had people spamming 10 because of NK, and look where it is now. 6.6/10, which is a fair rating.
I've only ever used IMDB to judge whether I should see a movie in the theatres or not.
Warcraft I'm guessing will be within the 6.5-7.5 range in the end.
>>70461902
People have spent at least $4320 in hopes of WoW being good one day.

To make a good vydia, you need to be able to write good code, good music, and good writing.
In other words, you need to be a fine programmer, a fine compositor, and a fine writer.
These 3 takes more skills than some painting that some dude thought up overnight.

>>70462397
He's right though. Video games is the highest form of art because it contains literally every other form of art, and then interaction on top of that. And not just the three things he mentioned either.
A full-featured video game contains
-Drawn and painted art
-Sculpture, in the form of 3D models
-Animation
-Writing
-Screenplay
-Cinematography
-Choreography
-Musical composition
-Sound design
-Programming
Every other medium is basically a stepping stone on the way to video games.
>>70461115
The final nail in the coffin for Rotten Tomatoes. I used to use it as a theatric bible. but the past few years they've been off. This is the last straw. If you're seriously using RT as a metric for if a movie is good or not IN CURRENT YEAR you need to kys.
Caveat: The movie has lots of problems but it should be closer to 50%. This is clear unadulterated "I HATE NERDY THINGS" bias.
>>70462871

then why are all the "creative" people in the video game industry nothing but people who failed to make it in the film/television industry?
Rovio made 51 games before their first hit, Angry Birds.
People take video games for granted. There's a good reason why no one ever takes video game courses at uni level. It's a degree with very little payoff.
>>70463133
Because their art is not appropriate for movies?
>>70463134
people never take "video game" courses at uni level because anyone who knows dick about video games knows anything the courses can teach were obsolete before the course was even planned. Thus would be completely useless four years later.

are you just trying to fill the thread with replies?

Still the first to port it to the ios. Written in objective c. it was a refined version of the flash games that came before. again, proving my point about vydia's constant refining.
>>70463262
I give up. Continue shitting on Warcraft though.
I'm off to play some Overwatch :^)
>>70463133
Video games may be high art in theory, but in practice nearly everyone who works on video games is a talentless hack. That's why, when an actual artist with vision, dedication and money starts making video games, there's a huge chance they'll be successful.
But because it's a new medium and still seen as "for kids", just like animation and comics in America, it doesn't attract a lot of them.
Warcraft is best 2016 movie yet. I don't get why critics so mad about this. Maybe they are just too stupid to understand the plot?
>>70463274
>proving my point that I hadn't made or stated until just now
... what
it is funny to see someone act like rovio, not even the first developer to steal other people's games and slather them with cuteness for the iDemographics, did something impressive.
>>70462971
Different types of nerdy. Right now it's all bout Big Bang Theory, Science, and Capeshit type of nerdy. Dungeons and Dragons high fantasy nerdy is still shat upon today. How am i a blizzdrone/shill when i said it should be at like 50%??? I'm just saying there's a clear bias against the franchise. It's not 20% bad. Its more like 50% bad and not for the content but for the really god awful editing.
>>70463134
Yeah but the movie is their first and a big success.
>>70461681
>caring what critics think
I guess I always forget that /tv/ is populated with 12 year old faggots. I don't even give a shit about this movie and the retardation on this board is ridiculous. All you faggots need a sense of validation of your opinions otherwise you will feel worthless cause you are a bunch of sad cunts.
It's been out for a week here in Russia and general public seems to like it, I thought it was good too. I don't think it'll be much different in the rest of the world, so it probably will not flop.
>>70461115
The audience love it.
>>70461975
are you seriously that retarded? Thats not why they released it early you mong.
Critics have really bad points when reviewing this. Seems like they all mention being fed up with fantasy shit. Some also mention the drama not being credible because the world seems so remote but I feel like it's kind of subjective. Even if that's tge case, how did avatar do so well? Warcraft's story can't possibly be worst than avatar's.
>>70463676
>fed up with fantasy shit.
The fuck? There are like a couple dozen prominent fantasy movies in existence.

>>70463896
I don't think you understand Rotten Tomatoes.
The outstanding majority of reviews for that film could be 3 stars out of 5, or just about average and it would result in a widely positive reception or fresh rating.
An 100% on RT doesn't mean a movie is a 10/10, the majority of critics just viewed it favorably.
>>70464192
Look at the average rating you retard.
>>70464192
Average rating is 9.2 So critics say it's almost perfect movie. THIS. That's just ridiculous
Professional critics are the lowest form of life. I loved Jones' Moon, and should give Warcraft a fair chance based on that.
But it just looks so uninterestingly shitty. I'm actually sad that I can't get myself to care.

Made $54,000,000 already. Not even out in US or China. It's over.
Warcraft is a raving success.
This movie is projected to make anywhere from $200-300 million in total after the dust settles.
Is that enough for a success or is it considered a failure for a $160 million total budget?
>>70465531
>Europoor so fucking poor they can't even afford a ticket

Exactly.
So cloning it with very little innovation and then seeing tasteless Blizzdrones (such as yourself) eat it up is what is so amusing about it.
>>70465709
innovation's overrated
blizzard made the best shooter since unreal tournament
they also made the best moba, the best rts, the best mmo, the best card game

>>70465589
$200m-$300m seems kind of low. They'd probably have to pull at least $400m.
>>70465908

For people who have never play shooters
>the best moba
For people who never play mobas
>the best rts
For people who never play rts
>the best mmo
For people who never played other mmos
This is my point. Blizzard make derivative and entry-level games for the gaming plebs that play WoW (such as yourself), and bank on the fact that they've hardly ever played any other games in each of these genres, and will become addicted just as they did with WoW. It's like people who get taken to a shitty restaurant for their 16th birthday and like the food, so they eat there for the next 30 years without bothering to try better alternatives.
It's a clever business model and Blizzard know what they are doing, but it doesn't make Blizzdrones (you) any less clinically retarded.
The only game on your list that has any merit as being the best of it's genre is Hearthstone, and that's purely down to the fact you can count the well-funded trading card video games on one hand.
You are a drone. Blizzard could serve you a plate of shit and you WOULD pay $15 a month for it, eat it, love it and then spend your weekends defending it to people you don't know on an anonymous imageboard.
Consider suicide.
>>70465908
>the best shooter since unreal tournament
Wait are you referring to Overwatch?
You don't actually believe this do you?
>>70465589
considering blizzard's reputation is basically built around the idea (lie) that WoW makes over a billion dollars ever year, no, 200-300m is not a success.

The percentage isn't a grade. 50% wouldn't mean it's a 50/100 movie, it would mean 50% of the critics that saw it liked it. It could be at 25% but overall the average score could be 6/10. Maybe you shouldn't have been using RT as a 'theatrical bible' or whatever the fuck you're talking about if you have no idea how it works you retard.

Their biggest mistake was expecting normies to care about Warcraft.
>>70461332
funny you mentioned that, a year ago they actually stopped reporting their sub numbers. WoD was so awful that it caused millions upon millions of people to give up on the game for good, and they were so embarrassed that they stopped showing sub numbers all together.
People and third party sites have estimated that there are still maybe 5 mil people playing the game worldwide, and that includes the Chinese which account for more than half of people still subbed. The game went down in flames with the likes of ghostcrawler and holinka.
>>70461397
the reason why sub numbers is relevant is because if you're still playing WoW after all this time you're very much going to see the movie. If it had been released 7-8 years ago at the peak of WoW's popularity then not only would it have avoided the butt fucking it got from critics, it would have had a star wars kind of effect where people would happily shovel kylo ren shit into their mouths and feel like they were honored to do so.
Blizzard didn't made anything good since WotLK. But this movie is best fantasy movie after LotR and best movie of 2016 yet. Critics can gtfo.
>>70466350
>For people who never play mobas
Which moba is better? Dota 2 and LOL are overcomplicated mess without the Blizzard™ refinement.
>For people who never play rts
Westwood is dead as shit, and even then their games weren't better than Starcraft, Warcraft 2 and 3.
>For people who never played other mmos
I played shit tons of korean and western mmos in the early 2000s, and none compared to WoW for at least a decade.
>For people who have never play shooters
I've played Quake 1, 2, 3, Doom 1, 2, Unreal Tournament, and of course TF2. I stopped playing FPS games for a really long time, but Overwatch brought me back to it.

Dumb all in all...
