On a serious note, love this idea. Not to just echo everyone else, but love how creative Abby is and her playing the Sims makes for some really funny and chill times. Keep it up!
Also "Let' go Fuck in that bush, R A W" and then the step down after had me absolutely rolling
Fun quick look! Is it just me or does the camera feel a bit low and zoomed in, kept feeling like I wanted to see what was behind the character on screen.
Blizzard has gone on record since Vanilla stating that they plan storylines two to three expansions in advance, so while it is "fun" to think they are only bringing Bolvar back due to Battle For Azeroth's reception (despite people knowing that game development takes time), that is very likely not the case.
Yeah and it's been hinted at for the last two expansions. Though I would say none of that is confirmed and while it does seem likely, reporting unsubstantiated leaks as fact feels a bit uncool (not that they are even close to the only ones).
Not to have a go at anyone but I think Rorie's dislike of the game (perfectly legitimately) causes him to go a bit far with what he says. For example there is no evidence that FF has more subs than WoW even if it is doing very well.
On a personal note I would say calling this the worst expac is pretty wild, how quick people forget about WoD.
Love the podcast and all the staff, just bristled a bit at this convo.
I disagree with Abby and Alex on this one, however I think many of the criticisms are valid. Especially if your not huge into cRPGs and especially if you don't quite understand the unique way the skills work to influence your personality which is understandable an hour in as it isn't super well explained. It wasn't for her that is fine, just like this video wasn't for a lot of people here and that's fine. It is okay to have different opinions on media and Abby disliking this should change nothing about how you feel about it.
What I do not understand is people storming into the comments, insulting, belittling and complaining. If you want to present an alternative opinion or share your own experience then you can do it without denigrating others. Abby gets way more than her fair share as it is and honestly there is no good reason to pile on here. If you have bought this game or know you will buy it or feel confidently that it is good based on other reviews, why do you care that Abby disagreed?
There will be people who come to this game who have played tons of games but are new to cRPGs who hear this has a good story and who will have found this video useful about some of the issues they may face if they decide to play it.
