For those that don’t know Diablo and Berserk have a cross over event happening and well… I love a good cross over event, avengers, justice league, I just love seeing compatible IPs Smooshed together.
Got me to thinking, what would make an awesome WOW cross over event (I know we get pop culture references and cameos all the time but never actual events)?
The obvious one would be StarCraft, the Zerg invade Azeroth (we already got the limited edition pet… well some people do). Maybe the bronze dragons can magic up something something space marines.
A lot of people probably not agree with me here but I’m sick of crossovers. They are at a point it doesn’t feel like a special event. Like Smash is based as a cross over thing, now so many games like MTG have their game flooded with random crossover stuff.
But yeah, if Warcraft keeps to just Blizzard game nods that’s cool but I don’t really want to be seeing ‘Power Ranger’ transmog on the shop or teaming up with a Walking Dead character to defend a town.
The Diablo/Berserk crossover is a shameless cash grab. Not interesting at all. Basically the same as if they had a “crossover” event for WoW that just sold transmogs in the cash shop. No thanks.
I have only played FF7 and FF8 back when I had the original playstation. I think I am just too old but all the modern catgirl weird fetish stuff just doesn’t appeal to me.
That said, would love to see buster sword and Sephiroth (human blademaster?) in wow.
Ironically I really agree with you and I differentiate a good cross over from a bad cross over. Would like to see GOOD cross overs… for instance I really really liked some of those hero of the storm trailers, shame the game just didn’t live up to the hype.
I am 40 years old, I have cash to spend on quality content… I will buy beserker armour, I am unsure if its a cosmetic buy or if its part of the reliquary (I hope its the later as it will be more interesting to unlock it by doing quests/challenges)… I basically stop playing D4 each season when I run out of stuff to do… same as in wow. When I run out of things I want to do, I unsub.
Given the relative value of gaming content in terms of entertainment hours, I never understand why gamers are so anti paying for stuff… its like we are communist. I could probably buy every cosmetic for a month for the same price as going out one night (drinks + food + transport… and thats just hanging out at a bar, an activity on top like movies or a show massively spikes that cost, double again if its a date).
Let’s do a Fate event, transmog your duel wielding badass male to look like Archer, or your cute elf to wear a short skirt and stockings like Rin or make your priest look like Kirei, fight Gilgamesh where he’s hitting you with the full power of Gate of Babylon, maybe Magical Girl Illya is there too, and all your friends like Saber and Mash and Ishtar and Arcueid and Ciel are there and the screen is covered in Neco Arc battle pets that make sounds so annoying people will wish for the ducks back.
try thinking of it like making [insert ip] fit into the wow universe instead of making the wow universe needing to accommodate [insert ip]
they could do it in a ton of different ways. like we could find a book off the coast of the isle of dorn when dalaran exploded detailing and chronicling the exploits of a “…dark knight whose sword was more like a slab of iron than anything else”
people tend to play video games to play and enjoy them, not open their wallets to buy stuff and would generally prefer to make the effort to do stuff ingame to earn those items rather than swipe their card. but i guess that would upset the gamer dads with 67 children and 17 different jobs to work to support them and only have .0000000000001th of a second a week to play video games
I was being incoherent on purpose, I guess if I were to say something understandable, well, Type Moon made some great visual novels you can play on Steam or Switch, their shared setting (called the Nasuverse, after the main script author of the company, Kinoko Nasu) has been the subject of several crossovers (and the recipient of them as well, through the mobile game Fate Grand Order). Most recently, for example, the Type Moon character “Archer EMIYA” has been added to Honkai Star Rail.
