Pet me.
I appreciate the awkwardness they have on these shows, it's reflective of the people that play these great games.

Another thing I really appreciate though is the professionalism. I absolutely loved the Industry Icon of Last year being awarded to Westwood Studios, and I grew up playing RTSes.

Best music, I think.

If this is not true, then it will be a travesty. Mick Gordon's work on this game was a goddamn masterpiece.

Don't get me wrong, Overwatch is a pretty good game you can pick up and play, and it feels satisfying when things go your way, BUT


The hero and diversity rhetoric? It's a competitive game.

Seriously it annoys me that Blizzard is acting like Overwatch has some amazing heroic narrative when it couldn't be further from it. There's nothing heroic about what you do in Overwatch. You just shoot other people to accomplish some vague, pointless goal. All the story in the shorts is completely disconnected from the game itself. There's no good integration of story and gameplay, which is what a game should strive for.

I think I read a few Bios from the heroes before the game launched, and the writing was just, really, really bad.
