At a guess I'd say it's because full cgi has a bad box office track record for mass market. Whereas the live action mix has been doing great for super hero movies recently.
"Uncanny Valley" CG films like Polar Express, Beowulf, Final Fantasy etc. have all pretty much fallen flat at the box office. The mistake is trying to make it look realistic. They shouldn't do that, it completely destroys the charm.
The real problem with Warcraft though, from the trailer, is that the dialogue, acting and story looks like rubbish Eragon-level D-grade fantasy.

Should Make Wall-E - Craft Instead

It *could* have been an accident.

Reading user comments for Fallout 4 on Steam, I learned that "mostly positive" actually means "almost 10%".

I'm about 6 hours in ... I have nothing but positive things to say. It's amazeballs.

The Fallout fandom has long been some of the worst scum on the internet, it doesn't matter how good/bad FO4 is; if even the slightest changes to the formula was made, they'd be going apeshit. We're not even a tenth as fanatical about Quake as some of those fuckers are about Fallout.
I haven't played it... but half my friends list on Steam has been playing constantly since it came out. I highly doubt they would be playing so much if it was terrible.

Fallout and Elder Scrolls scratch an itch that's difficult to get scratched otherwise. I don't particularly find them very enthralling, but they're not awful. They're just good at being a single player MMO.

Eh, that's people focusing on shit that doesn't matter. At all. :)
That's forest-for-the-trees type stuff.

Eh, I wasn't going to buy it. I was just surprised at all the negative comments. When it drops to 1/2 price maybe I'll buy. I don't think my video card meets minimum specs anyway.

Enough betatesters bought it by now, maybe in half a year it is free of bugs/glitches.

Been watching CohhCarnage play it, and by that I mean "watching CohhCarnage wrestle with the kittens his wife placed on his head mid-stream". I think this shows off the game quite well.
It's a shameless post-Apoc Skyrim mod, with an emphasis on collecting every fucking piece of crap in the game, and a load of sim village bollox thrown in. The combat looks kinda good, on the rare occasions you actually encounter it and don't spent the whole time in dismal ruined buildings picking up staplers and cigarette butts from a decrepit desk. The outside bits looks sweet graphically, especially the day/night cycle, the dismal ruined buildings less so, especially with the bland pip-boy lighting.
Basically if you like endless fucking around in a wasteland environment and fighting at least 2 monsters every 10 minutes, great. For me....it doesn't quite inspire me enough.

Are always about playing with your action man figure, dicking about combining springs with sprockets so your gun doesn't become useless at shooting mutated dogs, cops or zombies. Or collecting dog hides to turn into a magical helmet of +1 dex.
I couldn't get into stalker, GTA, WOW or any of the other most awesomest games ever either.
I'm sure there is a game hidden within all the fluff, but I can't be arsed to dig it out.
