This was an amazing video for me, from the standpoint of a outsider looking in. The editing, script, and production quality blown me away. I look forward to seeing more of this channel in the future.
same. i had a friend in cs and we went to a new years party. and on that party there was a whole family that played wow. they had formed a whole guild with people they know in private to play the game. it was insane. the one son had a wife that was also playing wow.
hahahah blizzard snub DOTA hahaha it is like YAHOO snub GOOGLE for $1Million to buy their company hahahahahah...... dota 2 have $25 million prize pool now
Same I just couldn't catch up with the expansion, and I could play wild but seeing all the content go by without being able to try it just made it Lame
Simple. Blizzard cinematics make the company on top of the gameplay. No other company spends as much time doing cinematics then blizzard, holy shit theyre good.
Blah Other companies focus on making gameplay better. Blizzard has better cinematics than games. Overwatch is a joke to watch, like some kid on acid made it.
It really is. I suspect a lot more people would love it if there wasn't this stigma that it's a "casual" game perpetrated by LoL/Dota players out of ignorance.
Because its an unbalanced mess and matchmaking has been shit for years now The big thing in why every Blizzard game will sooner or later fall is because they dont know how to balance any game at all
Burnt out on Diablo 3, switch to Hearthstone, burn out, switch to Overwatch, burn out, switch to HoTS, burn out, back to overwatch/hearthstone, repeat... Its almost as if there balance philosophy of making games CASUAL ESPORTS is deeply flawed.
Wait, so you're switching from one Blizzard game to another in a loop and you think that their approach is flawed? Sounds like its working perfectly to me.
@@CardiacKatz If you enjoyed Wings then do not buy HotS or LotV, the quality of their stories is a significant downgrade on wings. Go watch a let's play or a cut scene movie if you really want to know the direction they took it.

So unless you enjoyed harvesting terrazine avoid it.
Thanks for doing a video on BlizzCon! I've been a Blizzard fan since '96 when Diablo launched and have played all their games since. I can't believe I'm still an active WoW player since 2005 when it released in EU and I've been enjoying Blizzard games ever since and I can't wait to see what this year's BlizzCon has in store.
I know it will probably never happen but I’d really love to see Blizzard to give a big check to the team(s) that makes their cinematics and ask, “Can you give us a two hour feature film in the next five years?”
I love this video, and the company so so much, because Warcraft 3 changed everything, the storyline they developed, the mod that led to DotA, and now TI , it all came from such humble beginnings, and that amazes me, how greatness evolved over time

quit wow during wotlk a month after dungeon finder came out. The damage came quick and I still can't figure out how people can play single player mmos.
@@collision1988 To each their own, but it is an MMO. You can play the game solo if you like, but don't you dare try to carve out the heart and soul of the game.
Thats been basically fixed now, for all mythic dungeons (which are the only ones people do once they hit max) you have to actually find a group and go to the dungeon entrance. It makes the game a lot more social.
great vid guys.. I've owned a few blizzard games but not too many... Diablo 3 and I got destiny 2 through battlenet and of course I'm an avid OverWatch player oh and I own Starcraft 2 but I've never really gotten into it.. yet... But man blizzard is a great company and I'm really glad that I found them a couple- few years ago..They're a Masterclass in how games should be made..can't wait for the next iteration on an existing blizz classic and or new IP they release..keep up the great work guys!!!
The audio cuts are quiet for the voice and too loud during cuts - after 12 minutes I had to turn it off tired of changing the volume up and down. Use an audio compressor?
After all the drama surrounding ActiBlizz and the subsequent drop in the quality of their games, I doubt there's will be a Blizzcon ever again. Not just because budget for Blizzcon will probably be used for the lawsuit against the State of California, but because people are just done with Blizzard and anything they do.
Great video. I don't agree with the Blizzard employees saying WoW revolutionized the social aspect of gaming. If anything, WoW regressed it, by having some social structure in Vanilla, but slowly and inexorably removing those social interactions in favor of queuing and shortcuts. The auction house was just the beginning of this decline of the social MMO.
To put any yelling Overwatch (or Blizzard [i only mainly see overwatch fan responses]) fans to rest about their complaints, there is a lot of noise the fans make about the game.
I'm sorry, but Blizzard did indeed invent the ARPG genre. Diablo was the first non-turn based RPG, as Blizzard pushed Brevik to make it closer to their cherished baby, Warcraft.

Its on mobile now, so you can just play it while on the bus or train...
RIP BLIZZCON.

14:36 And in 2018 Blizzard fans got the highly anticipated Diablo Mobile.
"and a Diablo announcement extremely likely..."
Who else is hyped for the Diablo mobile CCG?
If you've kep up on the Diablo news at all, you'd know that even if there is a mobile announcement, that's not the main event.
Mobile!? Pffft
I hope its D2 Remake because its my favorite game and I still play today
d2 remake would be so much better.

U need to remake this video as Blizzard REALLY fucked it this time.

Blackthorne is one of the most slept on SNES titles of all time.
So so agree.
11:17 is that... Rivington?
If you had no bamboozles or tears in you eyes during this video, you are not a gamer.

No mention of StarCraft Remastered though...

wheres the god damn phone!
So bummed Blizz have never done a split-off event in EU or something that doesn't cost a small fortune to get to XD
When are we getting the story of Walshy?

Blackthorn wasn't critically acclaimed. It was panned, and everyone at Blizzard says the game was garbage.
