>those crusaders
Oh shit. That was pretty cool.

>Bas-"Came to Deface the Human Race"-Tion

DON'T TRUST ROBOTS

That was beautiful.

That was nice.

I still wish we'd get a short or at least a comic for Lucio or D.VA though.

PTSD robot is a cute

WHERES SOMBRA

If Sombra isn't a qtp2t robot with a Spanish accent and wide hips I'm going to be disapoint.

The lack of sexy female Omnics seems like a gross oversight.

>In Memory of Yvain Gnabro
Who is that, another fan who died?

it was bretty good desu senpai

thanks for reminding me about the iron giant, user.
Really didn`t want to feel feels before a cup of coffee, but thanks.

ptsd/10

Why are you people so annoying

An animator who worked on the short, he apparently died in an accident.

I'd like a Zarya short that focuses on the Omnic war in Russia personally.
I'd also like a skin with better hair, but life isn't always fair.

you are fools to trust the omnics

>I'd also like a skin with better hair, but life isn't always fair
just get one of her Summer Game skins

I dunno, the Summer Games skin just... there's something off about it. Maybe it's because it makes it look like she has T-Rex thighs, I dunno.

>not liking T-Rex thighs
r u a faggot?

I hope it wasn't a work-related animating accident.

By and far their best short, leagues better then Widowmakers or Winston's.

Even though it's just the Iron Giant if he was shrunk down to 6 feet

I like thick thighs, but I feel like in her summer games skin their thicker than her waist.

wtf? I love bastion now

I liked Hero more but this is easily the second best for me.

I think the shorts are best when they're basically just excuses to animate cool sequences. The one's that try to build up the character backstories are kind of weak.

>accident
That's what the omnics want you to believe!

>Our man Reinhardt in the heat of battle
Glorious

I loved Bastion when I first saw the game, but his playstyle just isn't for me. And this short is continuing to tempt me to try and git gud with him. Being a character fago more than a playfag is suffering.

>hack your dead friend's memory core
>It Ain't Me starts playing

This.
The Overwatch shorts have amazing animation but the writers aren't particularly good. That said this one was also very backstory heavy and I think it's fantastic and easily their best short.

That also said, it really is just a copy and paste of Iron Giant so maybe I'm just a sucker of cute robots suffering emotionally.

>Iron Giant
Plebs

This is my favorite short so far, probably because there's no dialog.

Still, these shorts feel really generic. Maybe it's the music or the visual style.

Nah, it's the writing that makes it feel generic. But generic doesn't mean bad, I've really enjoyed all of the shorts.

I love how these people think the best way to combat walking miniguns is to just smack their shit up with giant hammers.

REMOVE WOODPECKERS

Blizzard is generic, you don't go to blizzard for originality you go to blizzard to see those cliches and stories that you love being executed in the highest quality possible... is like go to a fast food restaurant, who actually use high quality ingredients and have good cooks

well is Europe were the hell they are gonna to get jedi-robot-ninjas this late

My favorite is Dragons, but this one and Hero are both great as well.

Wait, is it Reinhardt or Balderich?

The short has far more in common with The Iron Giant or Wall-E than Laputa

>A soft-spoken robot
>Built for violence but shown a different path
>On a quest of self-discovery
>...with his little bird companion
Now where have I seen this before?

Reinhardt, Balderich had a spiked ball not a hammer.

>War robot
>gets triggered

>War robot that is overgrown and caring for nature
>still being able to kick some serious ass if attacked.
>Can only communicate in beeps

Getting 'gud' with bastion is more of a question of knowing when to pull him out, and when to put him away. His only effective niche is as a suprise pick near the end of a map.

too soon, user

An animator
Here's his showreel:
vimeo.com/groups/173586/videos/118440920

She's Talon. Talon seem to be anti-Omnic.

I think Talon is just trying to stir up conflict, rather than eliminate Omnics.

>I am literally a gun.

>try and git gud with him

>Bastion
>Involving any skill whatsoever

I like this short because it can stand on its own unrelated to Overwatch.

>Reinhardt and Bastion are actually mortal enemies

Wow, great way of discorouging them together Blizzard.

Man, Blizzard really doesn't even try when it comes down to it's scripts, do they?

This was about as cliched as possible. Very well done, of course, but so cliched that you just about forget about it immediately after watching.

What they should have done was have that whole nature scene, Bastion continuing to the city, then killing a whole ton of people, then go walking off chirping with his bird.

Like in the game, he's a total murder machine. Why not reflect that in the short?

>Not even the official short acknowledges that the lights on the plates in sentry form are supposed to be shield emitters

Shield dream is dead...

Bastion forever shit tier

Roadhog seems worse with getting decent with only a slight amount of playtime.
bastion is just bastion it's a basically heavy from TF2

Blizzard should stop making games and just make Pixar like movies with robots and waifus.

>Reinhardt standing up to two Bastions with his shield up
>lasts more than the 0.5 Bastion would take to chew through it

They just need to hire writers with an ounce of creative talent.

They're fine with enslaving Omnics

I liked the score but a few of the cues felt very similar to Paperman

What the fuck are you saying? Triggered? What? Have you seen the Iron Giant? Or Wall-E.
Please try to form an actual argument as opposed to gibberish.

>senseless killing
Come on user, these aren't TF2 shorts

Tf2 shorts are anarchic and silly. Overwatch shorts are so cheesy they could come from Switzerland.

TF2 is also meant to be pure comedy, while these are played straight.

I want to give him a hug

Are you 14?

>then killing a whole ton fo people
I legitimately can't tell if this post is serious

>these aren't TF2 shorts
Yeah, the TF2 shorts are good

Bastion isn't a pacifist. He kills a shit ton of people in game.
Why not have his short reflect that?

And it riffs off the classic "Warbot turns peaceful" thing.
He's not peaceful. He just happens to have a newfound love of nature.

Blizzard shorts at least need just ONE thing to mix things up. But they literally do not do that.
Everything is exactly how it appears and that makes it boring.

>>Involving any skill whatsoever
If you tried using him at rank 60+ you got shit on.

The Iron Giant's combat programming gets triggered in the climax, remember?

It feels like it had 5x the production value of the others

>He kills a shit ton of people in game.
Nothing in game is canon to the lore

Widowmaker can team up with Tracer, why don't we reflect that in the short? Reaper teams up with Winston, why don't we reflect that in the short?

You're embarrassingly stupid.

It was different then, he was young.

I know. I said he was a low skill hero, not an OP one. He has a very simplistic playstyle that's easy to master but also easy to overcome.

>Blizzard shorts at least need just ONE thing to mix things up
Please, Widow killing Mondatta isn't something anyone expected what with the theme of heroism and all prevalent throughout Overwatch.

Did you miss the part where he confused a woodpecker for gunfire and completely destroyed like half an acre of forest? The actual gameplay isn't canon and Bastion is supposed an innocent character trying to find a place to belong while struggling not to kill everyone that pisses him off, not robo-Pyro with a minigun.

I don't want to imagine that Rein has even a little shred of animosity towards Bastion, he's too pure for hatred

Did you completely forget that Overwatch is made up of heroes? They fight people with guns, not innocent civilians.

>Nothing in game is canon to the lore
Which makes no sense.
Yeah, I get lore flexibility. Not all games can be as whimsically accepting as TF2.

But come on, at least don't contradict things that much.
Would this Bastion ever start shooting people up again?
It doesn't seem too likely to me.

But he does in game. He does it a lot. At least makes the characters consistent within themselves

>He kills a shit ton of people in game.
I think we can safely assume this guy is baiting, or just completely retarded. Like holy shit man

Rein probably doesn't even remember Bastion. He fought a lot of Omnics in the past.

Come on Blizzard; it's 2016. Where are the fembots

>But come on, at least don't contradict things that much.
>Would this Bastion ever start shooting people up again?
>It doesn't seem too likely to me.
The short gives a very obvious reason why he would.

This is Blizzard

Nobody is safe from corruption, nobody.

Reaper? Widow? Junkrat? Roadhog?
To a lesser extent Symettra?

Not all the characters in game are Overwatch.
Junkrat and Roadhog kill people in their comicbook short all the time.

It's not like he'd be able to tell him apart from the thousands of identical Bastion units.

The point is that Bastion isn't a killing machine. It doesn't matter if that isn't makes sense in game. Why does M. Bison fight Balrog, who works for him?

To be fair a lot of the characters, including Bastion, aren't heroes and were never part of Overwatch. That said the guy you're responding to is still an idiot.

Your stupidity only increases with every post you make...

>The point is that Bastion isn't a killing machine.
But if he were, it'd be funny.
As he is in the short, he's as bland as paste.
There's half a dozen of former examples just like him.

It'd be far more novel and funny if he had no qualms about killing people, but deeply loved nature.

it doesnt have to make sense, its not cannon

see how that works

its very simple

>that glorious glorious fluid dynamic animation when he's cupping the water
>dat sunlight
>dem leaves

Dear Blizzard, stop making games and make an Overwatch movie already.

>that Torbjorn
SALTED PORK?
youtube.com/watch?v=g7CBhQLZg2I

They all look the same and were programmed to do so. It would be like a like a Jedi holding a grudge against a single fucking battledroid.

>But if he were, it'd be funny
It's not meant to be funny, though. This isn't TF2, it's not a comedy.

Plus that gag is kind of overdone. Just as trite as the current short.

>Would this character who we're explicitly shown can easily revert back into kill-bot mode by accident ever fight anyone again?
Seriously?

>Plus that gag is kind of overdone
Example?

Oh, I always thought they turned into good guys sometime after the shorts, or joined because of a shared agenda.

>I'd be funny
Blizzard can't into humor
also I don't think it would be that funny

>far more novel
not really, there are plenty of kill all humans robots in fiction

How many children do you think he's killed?
