That cinematic was the highest point of BFA to be honest!
It singlehandedly got me to try out the game for the first time
@@MrSilender yeah i was so hyped for the trailer. wanted to see some anduin action but he did exactly nothing in the whole expansion man. thats so sad. the jaina storyline in the beginning of bfa was pretty good tho.
@@lyuris277 for me Zandalar was so dope it made me now only play Troll characters. But yeah the whole faction war was garbage, nothing like the cinematic. Just another "Horde evil, oh nvm" story
True
Easily one of the best cinematics blizzards ever made
You know BFA is bad when Asmongold doesn't mind playing Candy Crush in WoW
I played a Bejeweled addon in WotLK and that expansion was good
I wont mind to play it in any expac. The quest "untangle lines" even more funny
@@UltimateGamerCC not quite the same but we did have plants vs zombies in Cata...
@@UltimateGamerCC id go as far as saying the bejeweled mini game was the best part about nazjatar - i hate that place with a passion
In general I assume it's being pro casual content in the first place. WoW doesn't have a lot of that, and whimsical diversions are few and far between.
If Muradin was anything like Magni, then i understand why Arthas didnt give a crap when he got pierced by an ice shard
But Arthas you need to influct wuuns on undead! Undead are all over the precious Northrend kill 'em, Arthas!
@@Gebirges
No wonder Brann decided “Fuck you guys, I’m gonna travel across the world in search of ancient shit”
The BFA cinematic singlehandedly got me back into the game. “If the game is anything like this, and War Mode is any fun at all, this expansion will be fucking badass!!”
The game proceeded to be nothing like the cinematic and Lordaeron was a pyrrhic victory with Jaina saving all of our stupid asses with flying magic gunboat (admittedly cool, but deus ex machina can fuck off).
Yeah I thought there would be more pvp related stuffs.
The Sylvanas in the Legion and BFA cinematics seem like a character we can actually get behind and then in the actual game they go the goofiest directions.
Magni became the object of my nightmares, if he shows up in Oribos I'm going to jump into The Maw. :S
Champion, you need to collect more anima - the woons must be healed!
a turtle made into the water quest didnt get any credit (:
Suppose because it was that fuckin trashy it would be whole new video about this annoying shyt
@@CRYPTfromCATACOMBZ yup just another boring chore for exalted to get flying fucking hated the tortallan crap so much
"BfA was cool, NO FUCK THAT" best review of BfA thanks MCCool.
BFA cinematic promising you that Sylvanas, Saurfang, etc are all on the same side united against their enemy. The game doesn't even launch and the pre-patch is already re-writing history. That was the problem with the entire expansions story honestly. The azerite traits, essences, corruption, and endless mandatory chores that made making an alt impossible doesn't help much either. It all combined to be a giant collection of shit to wade through till we get to the next expansion.
I knew it would be bad when they killed the amazing artifact weapons and class halls, and replaced it with the regressive boring necklace and the 2 factions with somehow less content.
The Bejeweled world quest just reminds me that we had a fully-functional Bejeweled addon back in WotLK developed by Pop Cap themselves. I loved it, it was perfect for long flight paths like Darnassus to Desolace or Theramore to Silithus.
Horde in lore: Orcs, tauren, trolls
Horde in reality: Vulpira and elves
Aren’t vulperas part of the lore as well
@Patridge im with you! Fuck vulperas!
@@jarus7618 So screw furrys or just the race
@Patridge "they are fucking themselves"
A message from Moonguard US!
Anduin is now a Paladin since the first Paladins of the Silver Hand were just Priests that were trained to be Knights
only Turalyon was a priest the other four including uther were warriors trained in priest arts
@@DarkWolf958 Ah, thank you for the correction but that does not refute my point since it still shows that is has been done before
@@lukasbergman648 i'm pretty sure ur right and that he's been reformed into a paladin/retrained. Paladins are essentially battlepriests. Heavy armor, swords, plus light.
@@BushSage Still annoyed the Mag'har can't be paladins
@@BushSage Exactly my point!
when you know an expansion sucks is when they say "we want to bring back the game to the conflict between the alliance and the horde"
BFA intro cinematic was BADASS. The art teams and all that, the folks who design the zones and construct those cinematics and make shit *look good* know what they’re doing and have my respect. Always. I go back to WoD sometimes when I need a sick backdrop for a screenshot because it’s got some epic looking zones. The towns and cities of Kul Tiras and Zandalar feel alive because of all the NPCs and the way they made them look like lived-in zones. I re-watch cinematics from those expacs because they’re awesome.
Iiiiiiit’s just that the actual game doesn’t live up to it sometimes. Some expacs it does, some it doesn’t. The phrase “it could’ve been so good” hits hard.
Mind you, WoD is when I joined so I see both it and Legion through rose-tinted glasses, a bit. BFA doesn’t get the “oh this world is so epic” mentality for me, it... well, WoW just isn’t as fresh and new anymore. It does earn some credit because I main trolls and Zuldazar is my shit, though. 🤣
I wasn’t a big fan of BFA either, but there was just one thing that i loved... and it was Nazjatar. I have fond memories of running around nazjatar, killing rares, exploring, doing mini games, doing the companion quests and so on...
11:40 looks like a moment where she realizes she can use Anduin;s power for the jailor's plan
I just realized, BFA was using azeroths blood.
Now with venthyr & other covenants are using anima which is the essence/blood of the soul...
Does that mean for the last 2 expansion I've been playing Twilight the MMO?
Anduin is a classic Paladin, at least someone else sees it that way.
Hes a paladin with Power Word: Barrier xD
Sylvanas yelling for the Horde sounds so much more badass than priest in big boy armor saying for the Alliance btw
I don't think either were badass.
Literally the last moment before she became Garrosh 2.0
Who cares how it sounds. And I'm happy to fight for the good guys that don't burn down trees and kill innocents.
@@kronniichiwa9909 Kinda shows how shallow the writing is that the alliance are simply "the good guys." The idea of so many races having leaders that are that forgiving is nonsense, especially in a world with perpetual war and conflict.
Anduin is what blizzard refers to as a Hero class. NPCs like him can be multiple classes and wear any armor/weapons.
i miss BFA, i loved being my rogue in that expansion
Man, his machinima has been getting so good. The quality of this stuff is just amazing.
"WoD was actually ok"
Wod raiding was good but idk about much else.
Compared to BFA, yes.
@@Omevoc Nah BoD was way better than any raid that came out of WoD. Plus WoD skipped an entire raid tier as well and cut bosses out of the expansion. BFA absolutely dominates WoD by a landslide
WoD was amazing, the problem is that the "was" started too soon
@@orphen923 Big disagree on BoD for me personally. The aesthetic was just the same zone I've spent most of my time AFKing in BFA already, having to play as alliance, and 2 alliance leaders just "XD rofling" out of the fights without any lore consequences at all. Only Mekkatorque was interesting in terms of tactics, but was awful to pug.
BFA was the biggest bait and switch I ever played.
We going back to what made WoW great! Horde vs Alliance
NOW WITH MORE TENTACLES OLD GOD TIME
The uncrossing the lines world quests were amazing. I would stop every time one popped up and go do it.
4:37 Full disclosure - that little minigame - was my favorite part of that entire zone...... not even exaggerating...
5:08 update: agreed. I literally paused in order to type the above.
I wonder when they decided to make slyvanas evil, cause what she was saying at start of BFA cinematic makes NO sense with what they've done with the character, considering they retconned the novel that came out in the BFA collectors edition to fit her new story better I'm going to guess around 8.2
11:10 he is a paladin, that’s what the holy paladin’s Ressurect, “Absolution” would look like if it had a good animation
He’s using disc priest bubble lol
In WoW, many leaders are class combinations. Voljin was a shadow hunter. Meaning he was a shaman, a hunter, a rogue and a priest in one basically.
So Anduin could be a priest/warrior/paladin combination and it would be totally fine.
@@capitaldcolon1795 oh yeah, I never really thought about that
@@capitaldcolon1795 Not for humans tho. The reason they are a combination of classes is because that’s part of their culture, a shadow hunter is part of troll culture, a priestess of Elune is part of Kaldorei culture, but humans have no such thing because they take on the simpler aspects of the game to make them more digestible. They are not rangers, they’re just hunters/archers. Because we associate elements of different races of Warcraft with the barebones (such as “Sunwalkers are Tauren paladins”), humans represent those barebones in which the players base themselves to make a comparison to explain the other cultures in the game, but aside from that, Blizzard even confirmed Anduin was still very much a paladin because in 7.2 there was a huge discussion going on about Anduin becoming a paladin just because he was using Shalamayne, which they later denied
Wod had no real end game unless you were raiding.
@@Ayuima69 after leveling you basically had nothing to do, you just kept sitting in your garrison, getting summoned to the raid or doing your Warlord of Draenor achievemebt if you're into pvp
Raids were good, pvp was fine but there was nothing else so people just got really bored without any updates for almost a year
So happy I came back after the catch up the heart to lvl 50 so I never had do do island expeditions.
McConnel doesn't know the lore of his own class. Paladin's were born when priests started using 2H weapons to fight for the Light. Anduin uses a 2H sword for that matter
lol what kind of geek knows the lore of his class? u serious?
3:34 He is aging...from brown hair to gray hair and lighter skin until he hits ALT+F4 ...xD
back when sylvanas needed to jump and draw some arrow to kill some alliance.... but now she can even kill lich king with one button
I still get chills watching BFA trailer cinematic. Coulda been so much better!
anduin is a priest cosplaying a paladin
4:52 Nonono, you can't shit on the candy crush world quest, that thing was the shit, best feature of Bfa
I miss BfA, Island Expeditions and Warfronts were great. I miss my Azerite Armor and Corruption Gear. Can't wait for BfA Classic
For McCon, Paladin Order was founded by Priest...
4:40 in BFA they had Bejeweled and in Shadowlands they have Flappy Bird.
@Wonder of U shut up blizzard simp btich.
@Wonder of U Settle down you blizzard simp imagine being a bitch to a video game company and defending it lol. Vapid.
@Wonder of U
Sure thing double chinned neckbeard.
5:00 Candy crush. For sure the best part of this game.
Lmao server would’ve died during this! I couldn’t help but laugh when you see the rainbow Alliance memes when a Anduin screams for the alliance 🤣🤣
little did they know...
they forgot the most important thing, "another turtle made it to the water"
"Anduin is a Paldin"...
First he is a little silly priest than he is a overpowerd 1000 lvl Paladin
And than in the new part of wow (chains of domination) he just think yeah no i'm just a death knight...
What is he going to do after the Death Knight? Warlock?
I was so looking forward to warfronts and then it was like hey gather resources. Like dude what have I been doing the whole time just to get to the warfront lol?
Anduin looks like Prince Charming from shrek
I don't have a good opinion of WoD. The only part of WoD that I miss is the initial feeling when I hit 60 and started grinding the new epic battleground and found out I could stay in it as long as I wanted. That's exactly what sounds fun about Torghast is that I can just have back to back gameplay.
Wouldn't ever go back to the epic bg though. It's totally neutered when it becomes just another wintergrasp.
Anduin in this cinematic: Badass holy powers
Anduin in the game: Oh no we forgot they use the plague all the time....wish we had a really strong character who could beat it....
Blizzard: Well you know you could....ah fuck it...JAINA ON A FLYING MAGIC SHIP
Oh yes WoD is so great, who doesn't want to Bank in the middle of nowhere that you can only get two through Hearthstone with flight paths separated by leagues of distance I'm glad all of the materials in that area are not even worth farming I never have to go there again
How Sylvanas is depicted in the BFA cinematic, 1 year before BFA's release is the real slap in the face man. Gave players, myself included expectations. But it was just hype marketing.
??
Asmongold's eyebrows were getting quite a workout! Up Down Up Down Up Down UpDownUpDownUpDownUpDown! HupHupHupHupHup!
I wish warfronts were as cool as this cinematic
the saurfang part was just too OMEGALUL
trailer: alliance vs horde pvp, bfa: collect azerite
BFA Cinematic is probably the best gaming cinematic i've seen in my life...
The expansion sucked, but that cinematic.. i would give my kidney to watch a full movie looking like this cinematic.
anduin just said "Imma re-roll mid fight"
revisionist? more like hindsight. "Remember when we thought BFA was the worst it could get... guess what 12.0 makes BFA look like a great expansion." Doesnt mean BFA wasnt a giant dumpster fire, just means the future expansion will be an even larger dumpster fire. thats not revisionist, thats comparative. you can say a dog turd isnt as bad as a horse turd, doesnt mean the dog turd is no longer a piece of shit.
Ley Lines puzzle was cool.
so this is what the Stokholm Syndrome looks like
5:00 i agree with asmon about the little games.. we need to keep those :P
Asmon’s beef with Anduin is so weird. The guy fought a black dragon at five, trained under Magni and his Father, stood up to his blood raged father, opposed Garrosh and lived, and survived Shadowlands. I’d like to see As do better.
Not sure what I’d rather have. Cool cinematics or a game I can actually play and enjoy.
"You know it's bad when you daydream about playing Warlords of Draenor"
match 3, shoe string untie were good .. DROWN ALL THE TURTLES.
These guys fightin' over whether Anduin is a pali or a priest. Bitch he multiclassed.
Still think bfa should have been the horde vs alliance for azerite. Magni crystal magic should have awaken at the end of the expansion to tell us we really done fuck up.
11:15 "he's a paladin, he's wearing plate armour". He's a priest who wears plate armour and fights with a sword. The classes and class restrictions are just a gameplay balance thing. in reality multiclassing can still exist and anyone can wear any armour and use any weapon (they just need training in it). Its entirely possible that a priest to learn how to use plate and swords, they just wouldn't be as good at melee combat as a dedicated warriors.
Priests dont use swords in lore though, because they can't shed blood or some shit.
@@MATCHLESS789 while correct, as in all things that is the rule, but there are exceptions to the rule. Its not too far fetched for 99.9% of priests to not use swords, but that 0.1% are still willing too whilst still being a priest
The Jailor calls him a Paladin.
FUCK THE END OF BFA, the start was kinda fun tho
4:45 he is trolling right?
Asmons right he's a paladin, in the Maw when you run past other players escorting him/jaina and thrall his placeholder NPC is called Stormwind Paladin
also says frostwolf warrior for thrall lol
@@nickstarling2992 yeah, he lost his shaman powers after his fight with garrosh so he's technically a warrior now
love how asmon was trying to imply alliance won this fight, when neither side won, the casualty's on both sides were too great and no one came out on top with nothing more.
Never really understood the hate towards WoD, honestly liked the zones, class design, raids and the PvP vendor system. I still find myself enjoyed when flying or walking in Frostfire ridge or doing Hellfire Citadel. Great times
@@Velshin1986 i've played WoD plenty, the Garrison never bothered me neither was it mandatory for me. I cleared up to mythic Mannoroth without ever doing anything in the garrison, so not sure why u think that. I usually don't really care about the lore or story so it doesn't really affect me in any way, neither do i think that an expansion is bad if the lore doesn't match the game or a character on thr cover of a disc isn't that much seen in the game.
I care about leveling, doing dungeons and raids. I care about the zones and how they gave me joy. I care about the PvP system which was pretty good. To me this is like 95% of the game and i think it did quite good.
@@Velshin1986 Actually no, what my point is the"most fun raiding, one of the best class designs and a beautiful awesome world" is a enough for me. I didn't spend hours in my garrison, it didn't care for me to be be there neither was there anything mandatory about it for me. I enjoyed everything beside that, and it's really up to yourself wether you let the garrison ruin the rest of the game or not. It didn't for me and i think it was a great xpac.
It's sad to see your judgement on an entire expansion is completely reliant on the garrison, even tbough you could just step outside those doors to do plenty other things.
Mcconnell is such a member berry holy fuck
I feel like it could hve been so good-Asmongold
See, the Nazjatar puzzles are fun! Nazjatar was fun!
I wish I could some day write music at the level Blizzard does it.
WoD was good. They just removed an entire raid tier and made people live in Tanaan Jungle for a year straight. If they had actually stayed doing WoD it would have been salvaged and been remembered fondly.
The problem was that, outside of the raids, there was virtually NOTHING to do. We didn't have world quests yet, and dungeons stopped at heroic and were done the second you started raiding and getting better gear there. You didn't have as much of an incentive to go out to collect herbs or ores because your Garrison had both. Sure, there were some reps you could farm if you want, but most of them before Tanaan ones were primarily done by murdering hundreds of mobs for rep(and I did max out the Arakkoa Outcasts for the Talon King/Queen title, but that was mercilessly grinding mobs in one specific area of Spires of Arak for 3 hours straight).
BFA was the first expansion since I started in Wrath that I stopped playing.
They need to decide whether anduin is a priest or not already
Who else is excited for Battle For Azeroth Classic?
I thought of a new allied race idea, when you first start the Bastion story line they test if you are ready to Ascend. So if you defeat him, that race you're playing ascends, in the allied race tab there will be a ascended version of your race so you can play it. It would have its profession buff like ascended blacksmithing, alchemy , leatherworking, ect. Also when they hit level 30 or whatever level you need to you will grow wings on your back, kinda like a druid but better, It will be an little flight form but it would be cool, It would have increase of light damage and takes less shadow damage. Also when it has its wing form on the player should glow blue. Thats all I got so far but its a nice thought. Add on for me, but please give me credit.
"this is one of the better things from BFA!" that's kind of the problem. WoW had a nice trend of having a good expansion and then a bad expansion followed with a good expansion...but BFA was just awful...and shadowlands hasn't shown me anything that I want to get into..."Alliance was winning this battle" by walking into the trap that was set. They literally poisoned the area so badly that even if the Alliance could call it a victory, they won the great prize of a dead land, with poison seeping from the ground, and a mountain of corpses...all the while, the Forsaken are still laying siege to Worgenville. Only reason the alliance leadership made it out of there was plot armor Jaina.
Both puzzle world quests were cool.
I think blizz intentionally screwed up garrisons on purpose so players would stop asking for player housing
That feeling when BFA was better than Shadowlands... :(
He class transfer from priest to paladin it’s not in game yet😂
I did like the WQ mini games. Just not the one about saving the turtles.
Nothing beat sitting and playing built in Bejeweled/collumns in Everquest for 30 minutes while your mana regenerated so you could kill another couple mobs.
5:55 ish. I was a Panda baby in WoW and I remember people HATED Cata with a passion. I join back years later and suddenly Cata is the best thing since sliced bread. Wtf?
Talks about Bejeweled in BFA, "I am totally in favor of this..." .... Posts video about how mad he is about Flappybirds in Shadowlands :p
The only things that I liked about BfA were raids and the idea of corruption, I absolutely hated how they done it, but the idea of risk-reward mechanic seems fun to me (plus kinda breaking the game was fun too, I mean 70% unbuffed crit boomkin was really enjoyable to play). Azerite armor was trash, daily grind was trash, essences were fucking dogshit, not the abilities themselves, but the need to grind them on each of my fucking characters (huge part of the reason why I never actually played alts, like I used to love in expansions before), visions were dogshit (extremely easy, but extremely frustrating especially with this degenerate “blinding copies” tier 3 affix that half of the time locked me in a tight spot, without any means to escape, because my exit was literally in the wall, and I was staying there malding like crazy), war fronts and expeditions were an absolute joke of an activity and many shitty things on top of that like class balance (sub rogue was dead for pretty much an entire expansion, because of one single Uldir encounter, pvp scaling, etc.
We wanted this a war expansion where both factions could be proud. What we got was a worse version of MoP. Alliance being stupid good and Horde being stupid bad.
BFA had so much potential that was wasted.
Maybe it is because of servers - but blizz shouldn't hyped us on things that they can't deliver. Think about well made warfronts pvp / islands pvp / events like battles that doesn’t kill a server etc. They shouldn't make a whole expansion based on the concept of H vs A if the server can't properly handle 40vs40, or capitol siege. They made it a grindfest because they couldn't deliver anything cool that involves PvP.
"I am totally in favor" no no no no no
"WoD wasn't that bad, besides garrison" mcconnel I don't know you
WoD class, raids design and PvP were much better, that's for sure. This is the main content. This doesn't justify WoD's cut of content at the full price, but it makes it more interesting and engaging than BFA.
Imagine using a raid-wide battle res and calling it winning lul.
better than using nuclear plague against friend and foe alike you bone chewer.
shit was so op in overwatch they had to remove the ability /shrug
As a horde player, i admit the alliance did seem to be winning most of the time in that cinematic
So what I learned is WoW uses the same model as Cyberpunk 2077: Overhype, sell, underdeliver
even worse now they didnt overhype shit with the new dogshit dragonflight cinematic
📉
yea. not gonna lie... id MUCH rather do bejeweled and the totem puzzle from shaman order hall as world quests
lol pretty sure anduin is the priest in hearthstone lol.
And Thrall is the shaman
So? That doesn’t mean anything really
In my opinion, BFA was fun and boring at the same time. Azerite was kind of a dumb method where you choose passive traits that can sometimes be good. The lore and events of BFA was fun to play through. They didnt make diverse class sets however like previous expansions, and instead just made the same looking set different armor types. Introducing the Zandalari even though we caught a glimpse in MoP, was pretty fun and there was a raid of it. The kul tirans were also fun as they show why Jaina was banned, how they can repair boralus and have peace. Warfronts was a pretty fun process, you got to fight some iconic characters from your faction as well as have fun. Essences was a pretty good addition as well as Nazjatar and Mechagon. however, After every expansion you realize its the same process. You go into a new land or event with a topic of a new villain, then do dungeons and they introduce new features and bosses every patch. then theres the ending and that one period where everyone is broken in PvP. Ny-Alotha was a pretty fun raid as you got to fight N zoth, but the point still stands. Vanilla to mists of pandaria was good, but WoW kinda got boring for me. I quit in Shadowlands because it was basically bringing back WOTLK just in a different world, sure bringing back Arthas and other raid bosses are better, but they did that in legion with Illidan and BFA with saurfang and others.
