@NosadaAssasin @Kooken58 @Sevenizz @northArrow Omg, agreed. I'd still take WoW over GW2 any day of the week. I was literally falling asleep in front of my computer while trying to play that game.

@elsadarcey @danyjr @johnwck90 Which all defeats the very purpose of an MMO, lol, and explains exactly what I've been trying to identify as the reason I find myself bored on them now. As much as I love WoW, it's simply not as much fun to play alone. With this new expansion, and with Cata, I found myself in guilds where NO ONE would talk. Really? The most fun to be had in WoW was the social aspect, you know, BEFORE everyone got so elitist. Sure, you can still go to Org and ask a question in gen chat and get an answer, but not one person would answer that same question in your guild when there's 100 people on. It gets old, and more than anything else it's why I can't play nowadays for very long; the content on its own simply isn't that compelling.

@Gargus It's a lot like every form of entertainment, imo: when they're new, they try harder to capture our attention, and it isn't just for our sake, it's for their own. Once they get the money going, what reason do they have to push the envelope anymore? It happens all the time, and unfortunately, Blizzard was no different. Bioware and Squaresoft are just the same as Eminem and James Cameron to me, success was their ultimate downfall.

@johnwck90 Exactly. When there's absolutely no other option and the earnings are finally down to the last, that's when Blizzard will push Titan or whatever is next, simply because they don't have a reason to push it yet. Even with the lower subscription base, and whiny people that hate it in every forum (yet still somehow log on daily), WoW is still the king of the hill, a veritable juggernaut, so why would Blizzard start hacking away at its achilles tendons?

I seem to remember Capcom saying this exact same thing before MvC3 came out... Yeah, that story mode was AMAZING. >.>

I loved the entire slate of Sega Disney games, they were really high quality for their time. Well... except that Fantasia, I suppose. That game was dumber than a sack of blondes.

@PlatinumPaladin @Cappuccin0 I'm betting that WB is banking on the majority of people out there who will be excited simply because there's another Arkham game coming out. These folks, who probably don't keep up with game news all that much, won't even know Rocksteady didn't make the game until they're blindsided with it. But I digress, best case scenario: WB Montreal will pull a 343 Industries and crank out a passable game.

@Icepick_Trotter I'm betting it's going to be almost EXACTLY the same, just new story and environments. Cut and paste at its finest.

@PlatinumPaladin @Cappuccin0 Lmao, exactly.

Uh-huh. So Rocksteady is giving over the reins to this stellar franchise with a nice little stamp of approval to WB Montreal. This... could end badly. I remember when Bioshock 2 was announced, and it looked like it would make your eyes bleed from the sheer awesome it was going to bring. New developer, bringing new things to the table, and boasting about how passionate they were to bring this sequel to the world.

Yeah, look how well THAT turned out. After hearing WB Montreal is taking over, I lost every shred of interest in this game. Been a good run, Batman, but I fear the series is about to become terrible. But hey... the new creative director made Prototype, and that turned out awesome and sold like hotcakes, right?
