I miss the Warcraft II and StarCraft days. You could tell they were serious by their cutscenes, but also knew they were having fun, and wanted the player to as well, by the gameplay and Easter eggs. “Line must go up” took over, now it’s all cash grabs. I will not buy a game from them at full price again.
Its probably not that hard to make an inspirational 5 minute animation though, is it.
I mean they likely have some great talent doing it, but its not the product, its not what we are paying for.
At least they started putting more cut scenes in game rather than the single intro video to hype you on the game.
