the new custom server creator in overwatch is great but did the devs know what kind of pandoras box unleashing all of the worlds chaos kind of situation they were creating. today i played a match that was 6 very slow reinhardts vs 6 very fast torbjorns called daddy reinhardt chases tiny torblets and i refuse to ever play a match of normal overwatch ever again
“I don’t really know much about this thing, but my friend likes this thing. So by the transitive property, I like this thing and feel defensive over this thing on behalf of my friend. And if I see this thing while out with other friends, I will excitedly point it out and announce that it is the thing my first friend likes. I will also feel happy when I see it, as it reminds me of my friend, and time permitting, I will take pictures of it to show my friend later.”
what I really appreciate about Overwatch is that all of the lore is accessible to everyone, with or without the game.
not a gamer? hate multiplayer shooters? can’t afford the game?
doesn’t matter.
if you are interested in the characters or the story but can’t / don’t play the game, consider this is your invitation to join the fandom.
hereis the official trailer from Blizzard. here are all the character profiles. hereare all the animated shorts. here are all the free comics in PDF form. and here is a neat little summary of everything, including the plot and characters.
Overwatch has a rich setting and amazingly well-developed characters. I highly highly recommend it to anyone interested.
You don’t even need the plot when you play the game. Like it’s flavor for the game really. So you can totally be a fan of the Overwatch Story and never play the game at all and not miss anything.
