I have never played World of Warcraft for a couple reasons. At the time it came out, I was playing FFXI and at the time it was an incredibly difficult game, especially compared to WoW. I am more of a visual kind of guy and the relative realism of FFXI was a stark contrast to WoW which looked cartoony. The armor was unrealistic and looked like it was taken directly from Warhammer 40K. I also have a problem with games who do not show their gameplay in a trailer. This also makes me wonder how anyone could get excited for a game from a trailer that does not show the game. It would be like someone getting excited for a Christopher Nolan live-action film when they show a Pixar short.
After all of these years I still hold no interest for WoW, but they are releasing a new expansion pack called Mists of Pandaria, with a kung-fu panda on the cover. The reason I bring this up is that the movie Kung-fu Panda is the same thing, a cartoon. This is not about Blizzard being completely unoriginal; it is about a game that looks cartoony has made an expansion pack that is reminiscent of a cartoon. Considering the unoriginal armor in WoW and the latest expansion pack, it is becoming apparent that Blizzard is not original in its development.
