Well I can certainly say I didn't see this coming.

If you want I could go into a very long-winded explanation of Deathwing, who he is, what he does and yadda yadda yadda, but I can tell you don't care. Nor does anyone.

Heh, hadn't even dreamt you would make a review of Cataclysm, and it was awesome:D

Also, I play WoW from time to time and got Cataclysm for christmas, yet I have barely played it. To me that is strange, considering I love the questing and play it as a single player gameXD
(strange because Cataclysm has tons of new questsXP)

someone doesn't seem to get that skill is involved in raiding. so naive. also, I don't suppose arranged PvP ever comes to mind for you does it?

A good rant, I recently gave up wow upon realising how boring it is...
seriously, it was like a chore

Hilarious... but seriously how did he get in a guild?
I kid.

Anyone else initially think this thread was just a wishful thing like "Oh, wouldn't it be awesome if Yahtzee reviewed WoW! Because I really care and am not funny enough to invent cock-jokes myself."

Oh I'm sure there was at least one person who ruined their life trying to get 100% in Super Metroid.

And tbh I actually do hate it when I get an spiffy new weapon or armor piece but it looks like crap. It's like finding the perfect car for dirt cheap but the only available color is neon pink with glitter :/

You got killed in a Deathwing random event?

LUCKY!

Yeah, I know it's ironic, but it's rare and cool.

This review was more levelheaded than most, I agree almost completely.

I just stopped Cataclysm recently, and I don't feel like I WANT to play it, but I do feel like I SHOULD.

That's some scary shit.

I'd be right up there with all the LOK'TAR OGAR if Garrosh hadn't almost personally killed me twice before hitting level forty. Do not want getting dropped off bridge kthx.

An issue I had with the MMO is that they have a comic running that they kind of forcefully wedge into the game as being canon. The only part I'm familiar with involves telling where a certain Stormwind king has been doing all this time.

I've hated Garrosh since WotLK and I wasn't amused when I heard he'd be taking over as Warchief. I was Horde through and through until a certain diplomatic liability took command. I also hate Varian Wrynn as much, if not more, so Alliance isn't even an option if that thing is even a part of it.

I took the third option and quit playing because now with Cataclysm, I feel that the game is just everyone playing dodgeball with the Conflict ball just because. More so now than in Northrend. Maybe I had time to look through all I've done, lean back, and think, "Wow, this is fucking stupid."

The goblin starting area is hilariously fun. The worgen starting area is both sullen and stupid. On that point I wholeheartedly agree: Fuck the Alliance. And fuck the people that use "grats" on gaining piss-easy achievements, too.

I was actually curious as to how a self proclaimed misanthrope like Yahtzee ended up in a guild. *reads end message* Ah, rats...

There really are people who play WoW just to be the best like he said in his video, but there are people like me who genuinely enjoy the content and lore and raid to see the continuation of it. Items, to me, are only necessary to enjoy more warcraft lore.

EDIT: In regards to the "Grats" part, I personally only congratualate people when they actually achieve something worthwhile, it annoys me to see people do it for trivial achievements.

I used to love WoW, I used to devote countless hours to it. I gave it up last year and got tempted enough to try Cataclysm out.
I can thankfully say that I am free from WoW. The Cataclysm trial did nothing but remind me that essentially, fun as it is while you're doing it, the game is a massive skinner box. I was bored for the Cataclysm trial and didn't get back into it.

Thank god >_>.

I strongly disagree, TBC was as close to perfect as it could be.
Visually, perhaps (I will admit that WotLK gear is boring, a palette swap, or both) but too much about the thing was just terrible. Blood Elves on the Horde (blood elves playable at all, honestly), turning some of the most compelling characters from the RTS into loot pinatas, Hellfire peninsula, the sheer amount of grind, and most of the questing zones just aren't compelling.

The fact that Yahtzee has been playing a MMORPG like WoW has not sunk in my stubborn brain. That is how shocked I am. All this time, I been paying attention to how much he dislikes MMOs that I assumed he wouldn't play one or have time to. It almost feels like he is coming out of the closet with this or he is taking me out of the closet. Showing me something else than I expect to only put me into another closet for the next unexpected thing.

"How did he get into the Guild?" haha, that's easy. He is a guild leader. That explains all the imps. (kidding)

Those things aren't important at all. The endgame is. And that was pretty much the best it has ever been. Not perfect mind you, but WotLK pretty much ruined any chance of that.
