Legions In-game cinematics made me cry best so far since 2004

[Traveler Voltin]

Alright, so when is the Horde changing their motto from Victory or Death to Victory or Flee?

Victor or death is an orc saying, not a horde one.

anyway, if they would have stayed. both alliance and horde would have been wiped out.

[Gadzooks]

If anyone has an example of expansion intro cut scenes that were pulled off better than these, I'd be glad to hear it. Blizzard is laying the groundwork quite nicely IMO, and despite their many guffaws, story delivery in-game is something they continue to improve at.

Wrathgate.

[pkm]

If only they put this much effort into the game play itself.

[melodramocracy]

Wrathgate.

Not an expansion intro scene.

Those cinematics look good, but cry.... nope. Cinematics like Arthas's Betrayal and the ending of the Frozen Throne make me cry, and they didn't even need any action or cheesy dialogue. Different kind of cinematics though, but I really miss these. The WotLK trailer came pretty close atleast, and thats the last good cinematic we had imo.

Then you are not truly Horde

[Berengil]

Well aren't you a big, strong, macho...person.

Holy jeez. You and the next two after you having such a reaction.

Is it my fault that literally nothing makes me sad? I mean as in f all.

I have emotions, just not that one.

Chill people, just chill.

People absolutely do do that. Don't be afraid of emotions.

You confuse fear with annoyance.

Sounds like a terribly safe, boring existence.

Safe? Boring? Not sure where you got that from.

I teared up after seeing Varian put others before himself, jump down and wipe out the Advanced Fel Reaver, and nearly take out Gul'Dan's personal guard before taking one for the Alliance.

Congrats to Blizzard for making Gul'Dan the best villain in the game since Arthas - the Lich King.

The original 2004 trailer spoke of a major conflict between orcs and humans. The struggle was epic.

The new trailer shows new features, pretty graphics.

I don't see a strong correlation. PVP in 2004 is defunct now in 2016. There really isn't a world struggle. No more epic battles. Battles seem to happen more with opposite faction NPC's than actual players. World PVP is a joke now.

So no, I think the 2004 cinematic is the best. A contender would be the WotLK cinematic. No way this "new" one tops anything done before.

Calm down gramps,lets take you back to the Nostalrius Thread.

[Pizzakid2093]

They were pretty fantastic. Don't agree that they've been the best since 2004 though.

what IN GAME cinematic was better. if you have an answer for me, I would recommend rewatching it

[lolwhatadumbthread]

I love them all for the most part, only thing I wasnt a fan of was the DH ones where theyre talking to you as a person, I would have prefered third person, I almost had to just skip them, but I toughed it out.

[Gref]

Seriously dude? Crying over such a lame predictable "plot twist". Priorities man...

[Omega10]

I teared up during the horde cutscene right as and after Vol'jin died. Not even slightly ashamed of it.

Same. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for the whole experience. Very well done Blizzard.

[Deleted]

dont mistake tears of pain for joy... unless u want to explore a weird version of human interaction

blizzard cinematics always feel like an invasion of malignant melanoma trying to annihilate my visual cortex.

[Zoibert the Bear]

I found them quite emotional. Varians scream was a very strong moment indeed.

I hope we more of these, they are absolutel

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

I knew how the cinematic would end for months and it still got to me.

I was worried when the cinematic trailer dropped that they'd give Varian a dumb death like they usually do for non-Orcs (see: Tirion in the same scenario). But he went down like a champ, at least until Gul'dan got involved.

That part.... is probably gonna haunt my dreams tonight...

[thilicen]

The Varian one was absolutely fantastic, even knowing what was happening to him eventually that way he went out still managed to be an eye-opener. And I love the demon hunter intro, dem feels seeing "my raid" rushing in from a different angle brought on some heavy nostalgia.

[Deleted]

Whaha. You need help if you cry over a badly animated video game scene.
"for the alliance", so much cringe it deserves its own roast.

[Gref]

Seriously dude? Crying over such a lame predictable "plot twist". Priorities man...

Do not worry. I have my priorities right. That is why I have a really well paid job, free time, wife and happy marriage. I grew up with video games. Their impact on me is deep. That is what they made me happy and took my stress away whenever I was depressed. As a person who follows warcraft lore since wc1, i simply find those 3 moments I mentioned in my post deeply touching for me.That is it. You can never say a shit about what people like and do not like. You did not cry? ummm ok I guess. You were not affected? Ok sure of course.

The Quality of the Animation is good. The Story they tell is quite flat, and so predictable. Didn't feel anything from it, and that comes from someone who baws her eyes out at every Disney Movie ever .
