>It's a "young pup learns humility/sense of duty because grizzled vet sacrifices himself" episode.

>We could have had project Titan
>We got this because the pussy devs quit when things got tough
This game will always be a grim reminder of what could have been

I love this trope. And while played really vanilla and basic here I was still into it.

>quit when things got tough
blizzard literally forced them to stop development
probably because they didn't want another MMO to compete with WoW

New character

I'm not too crazy about her.

Yeah it was done well enough and tugged at all the right heart strings.

I though they weren't making new battleborn characters user

>Reinhardt origin short
>Gloryhound becomes genuine hero with a side of self-sacrificing veteran leader/mentor
Even if it was super predictable from the get go, I really enjoyed it.

Why? If it succeeds then they can stop milking that half dead cow.

i doubt it would be any different alot of titan's designs & concepts got recycled for overwatch

>It's another muh emotions short
I still don't know why people like this

I'm legit surprised neither DC or Marvel has attempted to cross over with Overwatch.

>Brave veteran sacrifices himself in the line of duty
>they just leave his dead ass to rot on that chair decades after he's bit the dust.

They could have buried him with his armor on instead of that.

It's because muh emotions
some people just like it.

I'll never get tired of this exact story.

Also, goddamn, double hammertime was great.

I'm not really a huge fan of magic in science fiction stuff either.

Is there porn of this dude?

Doesn't IDW publish Blizzard comics?

rule34 "reinhardt"
You'll find plenty all as gay as you want

Yes. Check the Overwatch thread in /aco/. I just posted two pics of him.

Dark Horse puts out the collection and art books

I actually do love that shit. I love when fantasy and sci fi run tangent. But this new character just isn't doing it for me. It feels like she was a leftover idea they just pushed through.

Even if it was super by-the-numbers, I fucking love Reinhardt and the idea of the Crusaders, so seeing them wreck some omnic ass with those rocket hammers was fucking boner inducing. Also interesting to see how he got his scar, and what he looked like as a young'n (explains why Ana wants that Aryan D).

Didn't feel like his lip syncing was up to snuff though, gotta say. His mouth movements felt too soft for his gruff voice.

I liked to think that they simply took him out of the armor and left it there as a tribute, but seeing as he died in the same position as the armor was left in... Yeah, there's just a dead dude in there.

And yet she takes orders from a black guy. Not even a "slightly white" black guy like the ones in america

Nah the armor becoming his tomb on his throne is way cooler

I don't like that they kept the same VA for his younger self. He doesn't even try to sound younger. It just comes off as weird.

>get invested in the short
>realize that Young Reinhardt's armor isn't the same as present day Reinhardt
>like at all. It's a completely new...Skin

MFW. I feel so used for actually giving a damn. Blizzard just couldn't help themselves, could they?

TALON COMMANDER WHEN?! Enough of these minions and freelancers! Where's the boss?!

>study genetics
>gain wizard powers

Uhhh...

But user!

I thought that was Doomfist

Or at least one of them

Doomfist is one of them, yeah. If I remember right, he's actually one of the few big guys funding it.

>Even if it was super by-the-numbers, I fucking love Reinhardt and the idea of the Crusaders, so seeing them wreck some omnic ass with those rocket hammers was fucking boner inducing.

Down with Omnic scum!

hey, it's not a bad trope.

I JUST KNEW SOME FUCKING ASSHOLE WOULD MENTION ARTHUR FUCKING CLARKE SOONER OR LATER

Well blame Zenyatta for setting up the ambiguity. Is this dude really an "enlightened" robot or is it all just tech that gives the illusion of it?

FUnny you should post a JoJo

Stands are just a space virus that arrived on earth via a meteor which an ancient civilization forged into arrow heads. Those that survive the virus do so by forcibly adapting and evolving in order to combat it, this produces the Stand

>Runs like Sonic
Have to include the autistic for diversity's sake

>implying that's bad in any way

Shit like this makes me unsure about diversity.

>Hadronium this
>Hadronium that
>Literally everything is Hadronium
JESUS CHRIST SHUT UP ABOUT HADRONIUM

This is fucking weird.

Okay so, I had a dream ages ago where a support character with these exact abilities was released (and I'm talking EXACT, even the teleportation and bouncy ball of death), except she was a clone of Mercy. Or Mercy was a clone of her? Like she was some insane scientist who kept cloning herself assistants, and Mercy was one that went rogue and set up a new life for herself.

What the fuck man.

Based on the state of the Eichenwielde map, it seems nobody returned to that area after they fled for many years. Seems like Rein and Bridgette may have been the first two who have actually been there since the battle.

I would argue that Reaper has far more inexplicable magical properties to him than Zen does.

We don't like to talk about that.

In all seriousness, I don't really mind the whole alien space virus otherworldly thing. It was pretty much magic to begin with anyway.

>Those nails
>Sombra's nails

HUEHUEHUE TALON AMIRITE

>Totally not Zenyatta but now with teleport

Good News, Mercy Fans!

Your waifu is now 1000% more flawless, noble, and gummy powder puppy perfect.

Bad News, Mercy Fans.

She's a lot less interesting now.

After all the hinting at it, they really didn't have Mercy even slightly responsible for Reaper?

Fuck this gay Earth.

That was Doomfist the 2nd, Doomfist the 3rd is the one you play as.

I thought Symmetra had already taken the autist spot.

I sometimes get the feeling Blizzard doesn't know what they want.

Moira's Origin Story:

youtube.com/watch?v=6ETybQd4uRE

Also, Symmetra's mentor, and perhaps Vishkar itself, is apparently in bed with Talon.

Moira did it.

They want money. That's a goal they never lost sight of.

So did she "fix" him after Mercy or is she responsible?

I am not talking about the cash cow aspect.
I am talking about the story.

The Doomfist one was that killed me. They introduce a guy as a big time player just for him to be killed off.
His dialogue was basically Number 2's parts from the Austin Powers script, rewritten.

>not a cute boy healslut
Lame. Like a three characters fall into the "cute girl" archetype, but not a single cute boy.

Speaking of which, we still have no explanation as to how the Shimada Dragons work? Is it sorcery? Are Genji and Hanzo mutants? Is it just tech?

She probably gave him the shadow/smoke powers. When Gabe BLACKWATCH ACKBAR'd himself, they probably put him back together but as an albino.

that talon omnic show up again on the video, hopefully, they do something cool with him

They want money. The problem is they know what fans want and they don't care because they're getting money. Fans want story content that matters alongside the PvP. This disconnect between the developers and fans who have gotten themselves addicted to it only reinforces the toxic community as well, because no one is really getting the experience they want. Currently the only way to "have fun" in the game is pitting yourself against other people of varying skill and seeing who can kick who's ass and that's it. Battlefield and CoD and Destiny that works. They have story and more importantly progression systems. Overwatch has gambling on lootboxes. No one is happy with loot boxes.

Speak for yourself, user. I got Octopus Face Zenyatta in my complimentary Halloween Loot Box!

Oh boy, I can't wait to play as this character for a week and then forget she exists because Mercy is still the only medic in the game that can flat out revive dead teammates, making her a guaranteed pick on any team that even remotely cares about winning.

I'm really disliking Blizzard's direction with these shorts. It's like someone took the TF2 character films and decided to drain them of any charm.

More like they took the most generic stories they could come up with and added some disney to it, while telling as little as possible in the time they use.

Have you tried playing Paladins?

The characters in Overwatch just don't appeal to me. I've looked at their voice responses and not a single bitch, bastard, ass or even crap can be found in any of them. Do they forget that people in their teens and 20's mainly play these games?

Meanwhile, TF2 has the meanest, funniest lines you could hear.

Finally. A good Widowmaker Skin.

Bundeswehr blokes from the 2000's next to these high tech anime suits look pretty funny in a way.

That for real?

>Blizzard reminding us yet again that they cancelled Starcraft Ghost

Welcome to Blizzard World!

And no, Heroes of the Storm is not going anywhere nor is it going to be renamed Overwatch LOL, so shut your face!

Why is Blizzard so fucking obsessed with Nova? They didn't even make her game.

>tfw officially 48 years old
>mfw evil androgynous Irish cougar
UNNNNNNNNNH
UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>dat Roadhog
>dat Zarya
>dat Orisa
YES.

What's Mei's skin?

I like this. Love the Zarya.

>D.va will never get a Starcraft cosplay costume despite the fact that it would make complete sense in her character lore
>She's not even in the Blizzard World trailer

Sauce?

It's the skin from her animated short.

It's still pretty generic and I'm not a big fan of the writing, so I'm alright with that.

Oh, thanks.

>blizzard world
The fuck is this shit!?

>Torbjorn yells "For the Horde!" at the end of Blizzardworld trailer
>Magni Bronzebeard skin

I mean, I know it's the obvious choice for a short, Swedish blacksmith, hammer-toting, bearded guy like Torbjorn. Just... Maybe have someone else say "For the Horde?"

...

I LIVED, ARTHAS! Your ice shards ain't shit!

>young reinhardt
muh dick
MUH DICK
HELP

...

Are these going to be event only or regular legendary skins?

...

The new hybrid Overwatch map of Blizzard's ultimate unattainable goal.

If there are any drawfags here, I'd like a picture of young Reinhardt posing like so while yelling "BLIZNEY WORL".
