Happy birthday, Overwatch!
8 years ago
Hiya! A small kitten gather some papers together, marked with crayons above a card box that says: "NEWZ FLASH" =_=
I'm not really sure if the one year anniversary event is going on, but I'll have to congratulate anyway. Overwatch is a fantastic game, it took the concept of TF2 and took it to a whole new level! Seriously, no joke. Not even Paladins, which concepts were supposedly copied by Blizzard during earlier stages of development (I didn't really bought this story to be fair), is not nearly as cool for some reason.
All the characters are interesting, and even if the "expanded universe" behind the game may feel unfinished (because releasing the "legends" graphic novel might ruin Tumblr 's fan theory that the entire cast of heroes from Overwatch are gay)... It does still pretty good and leave it open to a lot of speculation. Not my favorite type of "franchise backstory/expanded universe", but it is neat... I mean, that formula is what keeps the Half Life and most of Valve's franchises alive... Even through Gaben can't count until 3.
Now... The first three skins revealed isn't the greatest I've seen so far (Soldier 76 and Zyra's new skin look neat, but that's about it), and the GOTY version of the game feels a little cheesy. I mean... Just 10 loot boxes? Origins at least had nice skins to it. I hope that more goodies will be revealed soon... And please, make that "free weekend gameplay" truly free. You can at the very least play the Paladins beta without PS Plus, so do it the same at least once Blizzard. I can't really buy Overwatch again... At least, not right now... Which is sad!
By the way, I do want to see more animated shorts... AND PLEASE ANNOUNCE DOOMFIRST ALREADY! IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH? WE KNOW THAT TERRENCE CREWS WILL BE HIS VOICE ACTOR (it's freaking obvious by now, the denial isn't fooling anyone Jeff)! And please... Don't announce that rejected cat hero with a jetpack... Farah is enough.
