Honestly though, we were a bit disappointed with Blizzard recycling their earlier cinematics. Having spent the best part of our gaming years drooling over every new iteration of Blizzard's cinematic repertoire, we didn't expect them to go full sitcom.
Sure, patchworking best moments from old episodes saves up production time and money, so it makes business sense. However, it would've been great if they cut our waiting time short this time around and treated us to something we're more used to seeing from the company. Either way though, we'll just drown our sadness in our new UI.
