Since wow is a combat game, it should look to how action-adventure movies tell stories. From Indiana Jones to back to the future, heck even John wick have pacing and narrative techniques that wow can learn from.

today in 5 minute gaming news that may or may not be 5 minutes ...

everybody knows that woke beta.

Every time I see the name Jesse Cox on a video/article/thumbnail I have this feeling of "...wasn't that the guy that was doing pre-cataclysm launch hype wow videos 12 years ago?" and it seems like too much of a distant fever dream to be worth investigating... But glad he's still active and seemingly thriving!

I clicked on the video because Jesse, but it did seem weird to me that it just rolled into the talk without any kind of intro

Just like Preach and Yogscast!

That's amazing. Good for her for getting her moment!

I feel ya... I miss TB so much.

Yeah, I doubt there'll ever come a time when I won't miss TB when it comes to these things.

Remember when I met them at Dreamhack. Gave them Daim and Plopp, which they thought was very funny. Over 100month sub on jesse's twitch channel. God bless

Maybe Jesse ate him

Might be the Fanboy talking in me, but i really think the industry got worse after he passed. He always called dumb shit out.

The podcast duo we didn't know we needed

@@Frenchfraeis once there was podcast with Jesse and Another British WoW player gaming personality a tad more cinyical britman

That would be so fucking awesome.

❤️

I'd love to hear TB give Blizz so much shit for the state of WoW(up to shadowlands) & their company's many issues

Same!

'The Day Deathwing Came!' to be more precise x3

I honestly dont give a frick about stuff like that when it comes to video games. I play video games to have fun with its gameplay+story and world and atmosphere. FF13 was more cinematics than gameplay. I am not a developer to care about stuff like "omg look at how the characters sweat look so real" I care about how polish the game is and how enjoyable the gameplay is.

So this comes up so much, even by "story" people. The sword HAS been dealt with. It was just in a quest that everyone seems to have forgotten. It's why we sacrificed the artifacts to basically make it inert. It's essentially a mountain now. Also even if someone wanted to remove, how? The canon size of it is it reaches into low orbit essentially.

Honestly, as someone that grew up with the WC RTS games and has been on and off WoW since the Vanilla days and TRIED to get into XIV but couldn't, I'd say...just drop WoW, it doesn't seem like it's your cuppa anymore, while XIV does. I also find that with each new expansion, Blizz's art team ends up carrying the game more, while mechanically their game suffers (like how Vanilla flying has been a thing for 18 friggin yrs and only now has it changed in DF, primarily because Blizzard bought out an indie dev team who primarily specialised in flight mechanics and they were the ones who brought us Dragon riding in this expac), but DF seems to be changing that up with Dragon Riding, Dracthyr flying and some profession changes. Old content in WoW is always going to look dated, just like how some content from XIV's first expac looks dated to me compared to the images my friends show me of the latest content from XIV. A new engine for WoW would mean dropping WoW entirely to start a new game, and I know Blizz is far too late into the game (18yrs to be exact) to pull a XIV style revamp and just end the world to start the plot anew, that'd piss off so many ppl (myself included, because I don't want WoW to completely copy all of what XIV does, it'd lose it's own identity). The removal of some parts of Blizz's shitty management and the new folks and new studio brought in to work on WoW seems to be changing things up for the better, and we're seeing this via DF, and so far, ppl are loving it (myself included again). Preach is slowly warming up to it (seeing it via his streams, not this one vid), Crendor just recently released a vid where he's loving it so far, Nixxiom says he's loving it atm and even Asmongold is starting to warm up to it, and from my experience, the servers pretty much balked on day 1 of release, so I'd say it's being received better than SL ever was. I accepted that XIV isn't for me, and I moved on, I think it's prob in your best interest for you to do the same.

It somehow made me even more mad about what actually happened lol...

Too many original characters. Dont make an expack meant to run on nostalgia and not include many old characters

I think I would be frustrated by that video because it's clear what Jesse things Shadowlands needed is the opposite of what I think it needed (I'm of the opinion that our character is the only one that should've gone to the Shadowlands and no other regular NPCs should've been there. Only residents of the Shadowlands). I want the opposite of Jesse where I don't want them to focus on an over arcing story, I want them to do expansion only contained stories because their smaller more contained stuff is what they're best at (look at the incredible Spires of Arek as an example)

Also in calling out developers and publishers for their anticonsumer bullshit

Rip total biscuit what a legend

I think that was the only plot thread that really upset with with how out of nowhere it was, and I'm one of the few players that really loved wod mostly cause I love time travel and branching time line bs
