    [Spoiler] Poll: Which cinematic was more disappointing?

    I was disappointed by the new wotlk end trailer, but I had to think whether I was more or less disappointed by the Illidan vs Arthas fight at the end of The Frozen Throne. I just found that fight so anti-climactic and thought it could have been so much better with a similar epicness to the grom/thrall vs Mannoroth fight.

    Any other people who share this feeling?

    edit: Magtheridon? geez ><

    Didn't know they fought Maggy. Thanks for clearing some lore up. I find it hard to believe you even played WC III. Mannoroth was ever-present there.

    just about the only cinematics i think they did terrible on were the ones in Warcraft 1. those things were freaking horrible.

    WC3 + WoW = awesome

    I hope you don't mean in general as I think Blizzard does an amazing cinematic: Diablo 2, Starcraft, and the introduction to both expansions for WOW have had a great cinematic. Granted you can't please everyone.

    I've loved every trailer and cinematic so far. I'm not saying that the end of the lich king one was bad, but it wasn't up to speculation. The Lich King is a huge deal, like literally, a game-breaker type guy. I was imagining some huge epic battle scene where finally the Lich King falls. I just got some dialogue between two guys explaning what's going to happen. I don't know, maybe my bar was too high.

    This is a weird question, what's disappointing about either? Maybe the Illidan vs Arthas one because they didn't have the time to make it a "real" cinematic.

    The post-Arthas death one is probably one of the greatest cinematics they've done in WoW, (excluding the opening ones).

    Re: [Spoiler] Poll: Which cinematic was more disappointing?

    bare in mind there's probably like a 20 min "epic" fight before he drops as seen in that "cinematic".

    i don't consider it "a cinematic" anyway.

    to me that's an enhanced in game cut scene.

    much like the scripted cut scenes in WC3 using the games engine only pre recorded.

    machinima basically.

    and done that way so that it fits within what you see both before and after ie the same characters and place inside the games engine.



    as a WarCraft RTS player and fan i installed this game wondering if i could kill Arthas (and see a rebuilt Dalaran strangely enough) because i always thought he was a prick.

    i forgot about that for a while . . screwed around . . . til one night in EPL when a little girl who didnt know she was dead asking for her daddy caused me to break into tears at a video game.

    i don't need a f%#king payoff "cinematic" to make me killing Arthas "epic" and i humbly suggest anyone who is really invested in the storyline feels the same.

    Mannoroth nodded. "The warrior shows much promise... I would see more of his kind, learn their potential..." WoTA

    gee thx Brox...

    They are leaving the epic battle scene to us and the cinematic is showing us the aftermath of our work. Just remember we still dont know the whole fight.
