Alucard has Lucario's final smash but no matter give me sunscreen bithc!!!!
reading dialogue in this game is like reading fanfiction chapter 26 of someone's OCs and you wonder if you're missing out on some inside jokes. We need the Dragon Ball narrator I think I skipped the last few episodes 💀

World of Warcraft
2004
This game... I have mixed feelings about.
I started playing at the end of Vanilla and the beginning of Burning Crusade (after moving on from Lineage II). I was like, 3 years old I think but my parents were heavily into MMOs so I joined them the best I could.
The memories are amazing, and the world is probably the most unique and deeply layered that I have seen out of any game, and coupled with the fact that it is an MMO where you can play with people from all over the world just really breathes life into it and makes you invested in this fantasy world.
The expansions of Vanilla, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) were probably the best, which is likely why Blizzard is returning them to players in the form of classic servers.
Unfortunately, the underlying reason behind why these classic servers are so popular has to do with the current state of the game. Rather, it seems that for the last couple of expansions, Blizzard has been regressing the game rather than improving upon it.
I could forgive Blizzard if it was just poor gameplay, but the core issue is that they took the amazing story and world building they had and then twisted and warped it into something that feels short-term, cheap, and uninspired.
The game's lore was like a multitude of threads all with the possibility of going so many directions at any given moment, but with the latest expansions, it seems like Blizzard has tied a knot on all of those, thrown them away, and given the story a new thread which no one really asked for.
Their latest expansion, Dragonflight, seems to want to return to some of the old lore, and I hold out hope that it doesn't end up messing it all up.
This isn't to say that I think expanding and adding to old lore is bad, but the way Blizzard has done it feels particularly forced and uninspired as it throws out many of the complexities that made it so engaging.
I could go on forever about this, but overall this game more likely than not will remain as a good memory for me, and while I keep an eye out for its new developments, I doubt I will ever return to it because I don't want to spoil that memory.
