    I have never played WoW. It looks really cool and really fun. But Im not paying 15 bucks a month to play a game online....

    i actually agree with you. it always looked interesting to me, but no way am i paying a monthly fee for ANY game. looks like it's finally jumping the shark though, with a whole expansion pack dedicated to pandas.

    I can understand not wanting to pay $15 monthly for an online game. However, you never judge a book by it's cover. People criticized this expansion without playing as much of a minute of it(like yourself) but since the expansion actually launched it's been met with lots of praise and how it already is a million times better than the cataclysm expansion. Yup, an expansion "all about" pandas(if you know nothing of WoWs story at least) is better than the expansion that was about fighting an giant dragon aspect of Death that wanted to destroy the world whole.

    here's the thing though: i don't have to know shit about WOW to know fucking dancing kung-fu-ing magic casting MMO ninja pandas are lame as hell. even if i loved WoW i'd still want to punch whoever was behind this in the nose. it's fucking pandas, period. there is not a single game in the world that would remotely benefit from adding pandas: 99% would suffer the same ridicule as this. and then they give that bullshit of "they were the most requested race". that's why there's so many other panda games on the market, right? i refuse to believe that. it's fucking absurd. i love elder scrolls games. i have played and will continue to play them all. however if the next skyrim expansion was some panda shit, starring pandas from some place called "pandaria", and i was told they were the most requested race, i'd laugh loooooong and hard, and then never buy another elder scrolls product. not to mention the monthly goddamn fee.

    The thing is though, if you really don't care then why have you come on here so many times just to say the same thing? If you don't care let it go. Honestly, other games have "silly" races as well just look at Popuri in TERA or Frogloks in Everquest 2 and games can be centered around one cutsey concept and still be really good, just look at Okami, that game is something I would consider cute and yet it's freaking awesome. So if you don't want to play because the word "Panda" is used for a continant and there are anthropomorphic panda people running around, go ahead, it's your loss. I'm not even saying the idea isn't silly, in a way I could even agree that it's kind of stupid, but people shouldn't be so caught up in being "mature" that they refuse to play something simply because it has pandas in it. And yes, Pandarian are a heavily requested race, I wanted them as well as people in my guild, shoot there's a Gamesradar article that was put out during the burning crusade that requests Pandarian (Granted it was only for the alliance) not because they are cute or anything, but because they actually look pretty cool and are an enjoiable race, feel free to hate if you want, that's fine and understandable and I can completely get the monthly fee being a detractor, but Panda's really aren't that big of a deal in the grand scope of the expansion, it's still a well made game that does what it sets out to do better than everyone else in the business and at least to me that's what's important.

    i can't believe you're stoking a week old discussion that ended in a total fucking stalemate, just to say that pandas are actually cool, and WoW is awesome. nobody fucking cares. go play your panda game and enjoy it, don't prowl old articles and comments for opinions that disagree with yours.
  • KnowYourPokemon - October 10, 2012 3:36 p.m.

    My god you seem to read words out of thin air... how many times do I have to repeat "I completely understand not wanting to pay $15" and not ONCE have I said "YOU REALLY NEED TO PLAY THIS" Not once have I even argued over if it's worth paying the $15 a month for... Your comments sure are interesting to read, I'll give ya that much.

    And you're still replying....why. Why are you still on about this? What the fuck is your point? What are you trying to prove? Honestly, what? If you're not arguing that, what the fuck ARE you arguing? Do you even know? Because, looking back over the entire conversation, that is EXACTLY how this started. "But yes in the end, you haven't played it and don't know a thing about the Warcraft story in general(Pandaren, like I said, are nothing new) then you have no comment." "As for the money aspect I couldn't help but laugh a bit. I mean it was pretty obvious what was being referred to, and that's taking a look at a game for face value, looking at one part of said game and saying "Oh thats stupid" without researching it in the slightest and just brushing it off." Thats you up there defending WoW to the fucking death. And those are just TWO tiny little examples of your huge rant that I can pull from. The entire conversation is still there. Our point STILL stands! It doesnt matter what you agree with or disagree with now, you ALREADY defended WoW to the fucking death and we STILL dont want to play it because of the $15 a month price tag. Period. STILL! I dont care how good of a game it is or if we never played it or even tried it. It has a $15 a month price tag. Now get mad, fuckface.

    That's what you call defending to the death? Giving legitimate reasons against your blind ignorance towards something? Again, I fail to see the parts where I said you needed to play this game, and that it was the best game ever or anything of the sort. This started when not even yourself, but the other commenter, ignorantly talked about how a game was clearly going downhill since it was using a race based on Pandas. I replied with " I can understand not wanting to pay $15 monthly for an online game. However, you never judge a book by it's cover. People criticized this expansion without playing as much of a minute of it(like yourself) but since the expansion actually launched it's been met with lots of praise and how it already is a million times better than the cataclysm expansion. Yup, an expansion "all about" pandas(if you know nothing of WoWs story at least) is better than the expansion that was about fighting an giant dragon aspect of Death that wanted to destroy the world whole." Please tell me where that states you just have to play WoW by the way. I'm still waiting for you to find one line of where I said that. Then you decided to bring in the "Guild Wars 2 can be free argument" and I just explained the problems that system might have in the long run. Again, not once have I said that WoW is this great amazing game and you just have to play it. As for me getting mad... I honestly not once have been "mad" during any of this. Seems kind of silly to get mad over a video game. Also, you keep replying to me... and don't expect to get anything back, and then ask me why I'm bothering to reply. I'm sorry but that type of logic is a tad confusing to me. I could never not reply when you've clearly put so much thought into these comments. Lastly. I'm just going to leave this here, "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser." - Socrates

    My god you are the most idiotic, fucking stupid person I have EVER come across on this site. You dont even realize what your posting do you. You have the equivilant of a "I know you are but what am I" argument. So everything you just typed is you saying you're NOT telling us to NOT play the game. Ok. I give you that. Fine. So, you still havent answered the very basic question. What the fuck are you arguing? What IS your point? What are you trying to prove? That you know about WoW and we dont? That you think its a good game and we dont? That we're not looking into it deep enough and judging it based on pandas? Do you NOT realize how fucking stupid that makes you look? You're arguing for the sake of arguing. I dont know what you're trying to acomplish with this. And yeah, I AM going to keep replying to you. Its how I am. Ask anyone on this site, Ive turned 2 pages into 24 pages by saying just ONE word as a reply. So you MIGHT wanna stop.
