So, I don't play Overwatch, probably won't. I love me some TF2, but lately I'm just not in the mood to play that style of game. But holy fuckballs do I lub me those cinematic trailers for it.
But, from what I've seen of the actual game, they basically don't matter...like at all. There isn't any Overwatch vs The Badguy Characters theme to the matches, and you can in fact have characters who would normally hate each other, playing on the same team. Which basically just makes the story stuff...window dressing.
Which I find kind of sad, because I would LOVE to play a game where I'm part of this crazy ecclectic team of heroes, who have reformed to try and save the world from utter chaos and destruction! I would buy that shit in truckloads! ....but that's not Overwatch.
So, do you think that the plot of the game is going to matter at all, other than just for marketing/advertising purposes? And if they do actually incorporate it into the game, how do you think they would do it? Some kind of vs AI thing like Mann Co vs Machine from TF2? An actual single player thing? Should they even bother? Or should we just watch the pretty videos and then just go shoot each other in the face?
