Why the fuck blizzard can't use pauldrons like this in their games?
There are pauldrons like that in WoW and probably D3 as well
>>336350493
They do, but not for player or important characters
>>336350581
nope
>>336350493
>armor made of palstic
>>336350668
It's actually metal but somehow they fucked up trying to make it as iconic as possible i think and it all looks plastic as fuck.

Just spent 30 seconds on moggit and found those shoulders. Pretty similar imo. I'm sure there are shoulders that look even more like the ones in the picture too.
>>336351617
You can't be serious
Is Dark Souls literally the only fantasy game in existence that has decent armor designs?
>>336350493
Blizzard make plenty of games with giant pauldrons.
>>336351840
gothic,morrowind, witcher
>>336351840
Somewhat realistic doesn't automatically equal to good, just as unrealistic doesn't automatically equal to bad.
Both Dark Souls and WoW do have good armor designs, just different style (WoW of course has worse shitty to good ratio).
>>336350493
>dat everything
>>336351840
Oblivion
You fucking brainless weeb
Guards actually have 15th c. italian armor.
>>336351840
I feel like Dragon's Dogma has a really good balance between realism and fantasy to be honest
>>336352095
oblivion is LoTR movies plagiat
Is it just me or does everything look way too neat and clean. Look at the background, it doesnt look like a lived in place, it actually looks like a set, its so tidy and everything is where its suppose to be and nothing is out of place. Clothing looks freshly laundered and pressed and all the armour-which is actually metal surprisingly-looks fake as fuck because there is absolutely no weathering and it has been maticulously painted to be without a single flaw, the problem with this is it just looks so fucking fake, it looks like Syfy channel movie.
>>336352095
But Oblivion gear looks like shit.
>>336352239CGI
Why did they even bother with live actors at all.
>>336351723
What's wrong with the ones I linked?
>>336350493
why can't we have decent racial armour?
>>336352095
literally the only good looking armour set in Oblivion is the Knights of the Nine DLC set, the Steel armour set, and the dwarven set (sans helmet)
>>336352271
I always forget how fucking horrible that game actually looked.
>>336352117
This looks like a bad mish mash between realistic armor and monster hunter.
I am also not a big fan of the gaping wide holes for the eyes.
>>336352397
too much work, instead of 10 hours in modeler designer would have to spend 15
>>336352430
I liked the Leather armour in Oblivion, was nice how the Morag Tong stuff in the Razor DLC was using that skin
>>336352271
This is the reason I use either leather armor or cowls and robes in oblivion, sure everything looks like shit, even my robes look like oversized bathrobes but at least it's not elven armor-tier bad.
>>336352462
man it even has the fucking slot for the ponytail like my Night Elf has, such horseshit, if we don't get in Legion with a fucking warden reputation of all things available then i've lost all hope
>>336352239
It's the lighting. It's inconsistent and yet perfectly convenient for every different element in the set.
Lighting is one of the biggest reasons for fake-looking CGI.
>>336352397
What is Stormwind Guard Armor, Orgrimaar Guard Armor, Orc Clan Armor, Shado-pan Armor?
>>336352668
It is 1%.
>>336352668
>Humans and Orcs
Oh wow we really want those all over again!
My point is that those two races had their time in WoD for such armour, and they get the spotlight everywhere anyway because it's the backbone of warcraft. But if you can't give Night Elves some love whilst slapping some Forsaken goodies on the other faction to even it out perhaps then yeah fuck off
>>336352668
>13 races
>only 3 have racial armor
>>336352117
That looks alright. I think I'd want to see more before I judged the game as a whole but I don't think that example is bad.
I personally thought a lot of the armors in FFXI were pretty tits.
>>336352459
each to their own then. It looks functional, with little in the way of gaps or obvious flaws, apart from the gap for vision, while still being stylized enough to be interesting.
this ones a sort of middle of the road; there's more realistic/mundane sets and others which are more fantastic.
>>336351840
Fuck off.
What happened with armor in movies?
Back in the day they looked all metal and shit, now everything just looks like cheaply molded plastic.
Makes everything look like a 90s low budget fantasy show.
>>336352271
I can't believe I used to think this was as good as graphics could get
>>336350493
Bowie's son is a disgrace
>>336353149
Witcher has some of the best armours ive seen in a game, the huge ofset is that you dont wear a helmet. Id like to play a game set in the Witcher universe but you dont play as geralt, you can play as a mook who uses a sword and shield or a guy with a bow, just so I can see more of those armours.
>>336353149
I still think basic looks the best (same with bear), but yeah, The Witcher games have great looking armour. It feels realistic, but dressed up enough to have its own fantasy flavour (the armour sets that had books and scrolls attached to them in TW2 were particularly memorable)
>>336351995
>Morrowind
Really? I always thought it was one of the weaker aspects of the game.
>>336352579
>hes buying legion
Look at him, look at him and laugh.
Also why on earth does anyone need Blizzards fucking AWFUL modellers to create shitty overdesigned armour for you? It's so much better (and more rewarding) to create your own out of what is in the game.
>>336350493
>WE WANT THE MOVIE TO CAPTURE THE FEEL OF THE GAMES
>armor made of plastic
why?
even the cinematics which is what most people wanted this to resemble always had realistic materials
>play RPG
>low level armor all look great
>mid tier armors starts to look shit
>late game armors look full WoW terrible
Always makes progression feel so bad when you know you've seen all the nice armors.
>>336353551
that set looks like shit
>>336352397
you don't want that
you think you want that but you don't
you fucking cuck
>>336353412
He should do more movies
>>336353942
Is this what it feels like to be triggered?
>>336353149
I'll admit the Witcher generally has some good designs. Just not a fan of the whole 15th century aesthetic that they have going with all of the armor designs.
>>336352805
>Complaining about Humans and Orcs in a game about Humans and Orcs
I'm sorry that your panda waifus or whatever aren't in the center of attention
>>336352007
The more realism the better cuck.
>>336354542
To be fair. That's not especially realistic either. No front line soldier would wear something like that to battle.
It would be like a modern day general right in the middle of a battle wearing his fine dress parade outfit.
>>336350493
Some of the WoW's armor sets have scarred me for life, blizzard either doesn't understand how to make shit look good or simply doesn't give a shit about it.
>>336355469
Or just a typical, 16th century knight armored up for a set piece battle. People like you spouting these memes need to end.
>>336353551
that looks dogshit and matches your lack of reading comprehension gj mate
>>336356308
Or you know, an Emperor, which that armor belonged to.
>>336357089
The armor which Knights and the King himself would wear on the battlefield during that time period were effectively the same.
>>336357387
Well. Depends on the richness of the knight.
>>336353531
around high fantasy it is the most believable armor around
>>336357534
I'm guessing you haven't played stuff like The Witcher then?
>>336356083
Then just make your own.
>>336355469
that's what people that can afford rocket launch now would wear in 15c to battle
>>336357754

A cheaply made mass produced thing sure, but an armor like the picture would cost someone like a year of their wages.
>>336358242
Not necessarily. I mean, I'm not saying people wore plate armor, just not such extravagant ones, I mean, there's a reason so many of the more fabulous looking armors survive.

Yes? What is high fantasy to you?
Dragons? Check.
European Medivalism? Check.
Magic? Check.
Copy paste Fantasy races? Check.
Just because it's a bit more gritty than some games doesn't mean it's not high fantasy.
>>336358520

You could build a castle for that armor it's not that average.

Really the only thing I can commend them on is translating the countries and towns and cities that we've seen decently well albeit a little generically.
How does somebody fuck up this bad
>>336356083
I unironically like that warlock set.
Looks bizarre and outlandish.

>>336353149

>>336359778
>Starting with the most generic piece of Warcraft lore instead of the most iconic Warcraft lore from Warcraft 3
Unless you're going the Star Wars route, why the fuck you would start from the last part of a trilogy?
>>336360014
All of Warcrafts lore is fun garbage but his was the best done garbage. Plus it being adapted to a movie works perfectly.
>Doesn't require any prerequisite knowledge off the bat because most everything Arthas faces in the human campaign are newly introduced in that story

Plus you can make the first movie and if it flops than it still ends at a good point.
>>336360404
Warcraft 1 was a bad game and has the most generic fantasy lore. Besides the orcs coming through the portal and medivh being corrupt, it barely has any bearing on Warcraft 3's events.
Thats 2 minutes of exposition explaining that and the moviegoer is caught up. It's not like you even need that, some Blackrock orcs show up at the start of the Arthas campaign, they didnt need to stop everything and explain they were fucking space aliens. The fact that they are orcs and a human is fighting them is enough for moviegoers.
The reason superhero movies sucked ass for a decade+ is because every movie was their origin story before it got into anything exciting. Moviegoers dont give a shit how every single asshole came to be a part of the world they are being introduced to nigga. Warcraft 1's story is hardly "The first part of a trilogy" Especially when Warcraft 3 has 9 different full fucking stories in it. Warcraft 1 is an origin story.
Best armors are bikini plate for women and loincloths for men.
Fight me.
>>336360881
>Succeeding you, father" can be remade in the movie literally shot for shot to be the perfect ending
"Yeah the ending didn't test well with advanced screenings so we went with one of our plan B endings."
Cue Arthas relenting at the last second, breaking down and sobbing. Confessing to his father how far he's fallen and begging for forgiveness.
Perfect outro to lead into his redemption arc in the sequel.
