Holy shit! They know their movie sucks ass so they are giving out free copies off their 10 year old shit game to whoever watches the movie, just so people will see it. Kek.
finance.yahoo.com/news/see-warcraft-movie-world-warcraft-153000186.html >When the credits roll in the theater, a new adventure awaits at home—Blizzard Entertainment and Regal Entertainment Group today announced an epic promotion that gives moviegoers a chance to continue the journey they began in Legendary Pictures’ Warcraft® movie. In celebration of the film’s June 10 U.S. theatrical release, anyone who buys a ticket to see Warcraft at participating Regal Cinemas locations in the United States will receive a free digital copy of World of Warcraft
The point of the movie is to get people to play the game you retard. The money comes from the monthly subs theyre looking to gain from the advertisement.
Jayden Jones
They need money and new players, especially after Overwatch propotion campaign.
>hating on mario bros That movie is legit vidyakino. Plebbit once again confirmed for trash opinions
Robert Taylor
>movie ticket is cheaper than a month/copy of wow >blizzard is giving away tickets with discounted months/copies of wow
amazing
Asher Brooks
For what (very) little it's worth, some of the reviews I've read sound like the whole "video game movies get poor reviews" thing has become a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.
Blake Jones
gb2r faggot
Colton Price
Jesus, it's literally happening all over again.
Anything else coming out this year that can result in A SECOND FRESH REVIEW 3.0?
Lincoln Williams
they already announced that they would be doing this deal a while ago and it's more to revive world of warcraft than to entice people to go watch the movie, since most of the people going to watch the movie are going to be people who've played wow before
Dominic Stewart
The desperation is palpable.
Isaac Morgan
Susci Skwad
Easton Morris
Age of Ultron was just as shit as those others though, all of these things are alike
fucking reddit
Cameron Cruz
vidyashit confirmed to be shit!!!!!
Liam Baker
Man, I hope it does better than that.
David Smith
>Some non-gamers and casual people/critics probably already have a mindset that wants to tear down the WoW nerds. Seriously. I'm sure some of them are proud to bash on a movie just because they know the fanbase is going to be enraged.
Eli Gray
dog. Look at the relative prices. They're functionally giving away tickets with discounted copies/months of wow.
Meaning people will buy the tickets just to get months of wow at half price.
Josiah Evans
he's probably right you know, wowkeks are easy to upset
Michael Hill
He meant that PotC was good you retarded faggot
Julian Sanders
>video game players are ready and willing to suck down any thing that comes from the collective anus of the video game industry in hopes of validating their laughable medium
Connor Perez
it also wasn't good though
they're all mediocre shit, they are all alike
you retarded faggot
Eli Gray
>dog
Jason Collins
blizzdrones are so pathetic it's hilarious
Lincoln Brooks
can't. been here longer than you're comfortable contemplating.
Nathaniel Kelly
It's misunderstood. People go in expecting lord of the rings when Warcraft is so much more. It isnt high fantasy, it IS fantasy. The storytelling, characters, places, lore...they're remarkable. Of course generic critics are going to bash it because it wasnt 3 films made by Peter Jackson simultaneously.
Cooper Turner
plebs actually base their watching decisions on reviews?
Caleb Flores
It's disconcerting how invested you guys are in seeing this fail. Like sharks swimming around waiting to strike. I'm noticing this trend across all forms of social media in regards to any particular interest people might have. I'm guessing it's the result of long term outrage culture along with the increasingly intensifying political hotbed. I don't know, but it scares the fuck out of me.
Justin Diaz
Did people actually think this was going to be good?
Owen Cox
>one of the reviewers gives Dragonball movie 4/5 and shits on Warcraft What the fuck is going on? How do these people have jobs?
Hunter White
whys his dick so high up? is she sucking a snake bit or a tumorous growth or something?
Matthew Jackson
haha yes I'm literally EL OH ELing
Justin Gomez
Its mostly joy at seeing blizzard fall apart. They've raped the fuck out everything worthwhile they've ever done and, for some reason, made more money than ever doing it.
Grayson Mitchell
he was being ironic, read between the lines pleb
Cameron Thompson
BVS was literally the Sup Forums version of TORtanic, if you know what that is. The floodgates have opened and everyone will be waiting for it to happen again for the chance to relish in that schadenfreude that drives good anons, cruel.
Ayden Kelly
The looks extremely cheesy and full of cliches
Jack James
What's the plot of the movie?
It looks pretty by the numbers from what I saw. If they made a movie about Arthas in WC3, that's be a hell of a film
Hunter Nguyen
How is it schadenfreude to want movies with nothing but marketing going for them to fail?
Colton Williams
This guy is a giant sell out and a pompous windbag. Go watch what the flick on YouTube. He's either hating on great movies like Room and loving generic shit like TFA and hes always trying to portray himself as some cinema expert.
Caleb Ramirez
>Meaning people will buy the tickets just to get months of wow at half price. except that the people going to see the movie that already own an account will have to make a new account to make use of those months or did your monkey brain actually think that a company would give their entire existing playerbase a bunch of free months at a 15-18$ price
Ian Smith
Room kinda deserves it though. Compared to the fritzl case (from which it stole everything it had to offer) its a lifeless mess.
If you can forget about fritzl, its pretty good.
James Nelson
>paying a company 15 bucks a month to play their shitty game after you already paid 60 bucks for it
>Yes, goys, please pay to see our movie and accept this totally free game which requires a subscription to continue playing.
Michael Diaz
>kotaku do they even know how to watch films properly?
Levi Ramirez
and this pertains to the matter how? i'm just correcting the misinformation you're spreading, either through sheer idiocy or just misinformation, that WoW's current playerbase, inactive or active, is not going to de facto receive free months at a discounted price because they'll have to make new accounts to use up those free months
Jayden Young
People get carried away, we will NEVER be able to discuss movies here again because people just want to shit on them instead, moreso than even before.
Gabriel Parker
TORtanic killed literally all real discussion of new things on Sup Forums, and I'm sure BvS did the same for Sup Forums.
Owen Scott
>paying for a game where u only get 1 month for free then hav to pay $30 each other month Fuck that i never understood why people play WOW
Ryan Murphy
Tortas with aguacate and milanesa are really good desu
Gabriel Johnson
It's almost like you're surprised that a video game studio made a movie to promote their video game, not the other way around.
Josiah Young
>for profit entities buying tickets to get discounted copies/months of wow to increase their profit margins pertains to the matter of tickets being given away with discounted copies/months of wow how?
well gee, when you put it that way, idk lol
Hunter Martin
It's actually 15$ (though prices may differ between regions, I think) and they've implemented a system called the WoW token where if you earn enough gold, you can buy a month of game time with gold.
Stock market aficionados bought over four years of game time when the feature came out, and the system somehow works because people buy endless amounts of gold with real money for some reason.
Thomas Peterson
>the whole movie was an expensive subscription for the game makers to get more fans to play their game HAHAHAHA
Brody Sanchez
>mmo-champs
I forgot this place existed. Fucking Blizdrones of the worst caliber there
Jacob Martinez
>economical blither blather phrase it in english fucker
Owen Stewart
... well, that's not true at all.
I guess your fantasy world is kinda hard to shake though, by virtue of it being yours.
Charles Wilson
What is wow tokens?
Colton Carter
MUNF OB WOW COS $15 TEKEET COS $8
Easton Lee
ohh okay refer to in that case
Brayden Ward
I worry the movie's badness could come from Metzen having a hand in writing it. He's a nice guy and all, but he cannot write or make good stories at all.
Anthony Evans
They're hoping they get addicted and subscribe.
It's like giving people a supply of crack for one month. Stale, ten year old crack.
Brody Hill
after shitting on their face, of course.
Nathaniel Barnes
he said $30 every other month you braindead wow-addicted retard
Connor Hill
Sorry for not being able to understand ambiguous sentence structure, but having the prefix be "every other month" instead of "each other month" would certainly help.
William Smith
No the movie's badness comes from the terrible blue screen cgi.
Movie should have been entierely CGI
Kevin Bell
>Sup Forums still takes critic reviews seriously when they pretty much always hate anything that isn't high grade art
it's a fucking vidya flick, if you like the game you'll more than likely enjoy the movie
>make monthly pay game >gold sellers come around >make effort to ban them >turns out they are the zerg >add feature to use gold to buy subscription >goys think you are dumb >get into gold selling business >ban every gold seller >make money now either way
i dont even play this game and i can see through this scheme
Brandon Johnson
i think it's less about him wanting others to watch the movie and more just a general statement about how you're probably going to enjoy the movie if you enjoyed the games
but don't listen to me; you seem to have the reading comprehension part under control
Samuel Brooks
>WoW has less than 2 million subs >FF14 has over 4 million
Jonathan Ramirez
>WoW has less than 2 million subs source?
Gavin Cox
Not him but I don't think they even report it anymore as it's gotten so low so it's impossible to find out.
Jayden Miller
Well, me and my two friends have paid for our last 3 months entirely with wow tokens (though we quit a while ago) and already have enough gold to start again. The way I see it: >WoW players who put effort into the game earn enough gold to continuously play >Whale customers fork out tons of cash to get the gold from these players >Blizzard gets money Everyone's happy.
Jason Perez
You're seriously gonna say a movie is terrible based on 5 reviews?
Jack Evans
But the reason i enjoyed the game(s) is because the interactivity kept my higher functions occupied and left only my basest awareness for story/narrative comprehension.
You can't do that with a movie.
Wyatt Reyes
It's like going to a Chinese buffet and complaining it isn't fine cuisine instead of just enjoying the tasty garbage
Justin King
Except for the fact critics have to go there and stuff their faces.
Dylan Jenkins
absolutely retarded if you think ARR is that high and WoW is that low.
Jace Stewart
critics don't have to do anything and they'd be retarded for not taking context into account
Joshua Nelson
>WoW >Not f2p Scammed hard lmao
Chase Davis
>critics don't have to ply their trade to eat
nigga u dum
Leo Lee
KOTAKU O T A K U
Luis Russell
>Critics have to go out of their way to review things they don't enjoy and aren't intended for them
Gavin Hall
I been working in LA and went to holly wood this last weekend. >Huge statues of overwatch in front of chinese theatre >Huge billboards of warcraft i understand the overwatch shit cuz its new but he fucking warcraft. are you fucking kidding me?!? I was jarred by this. Oh and driving by >bus stops with "who ya gonna call??" jesus fucking christ kill me, take me now
also pic related, took it that night
Christian Rivera
>WoW has less than 2 million subs >FF14 has over 4 million >runescape has over 10 million where were you when a browser game beat both of them?
Gabriel Cooper
if you like the game as it is now you will be impressed with anything desu
Liam Rivera
[PRAYER CIRCLE INTENSIFIES]
Parker Clark
I would have to be paid to A. play wow again B. watch that movie
Zachary Garcia
hearthstone has like 50 million players. it's easier to get in to simple games.
>giving a shit about "professional" critics They're shams, don't take their word. Wait for the movie to come out and for that movie watcher reviews. That will give you the best reflection of quality. Critics are absolutely terrible at reviewing movies.
Hudson Davis
>hearthstone has like 50 million players. it's easier to get in to simple games.
And it helps that Hearthstone is, you know, FREE to play?
