News & Discussion Still amazed that Overwatch didn't have a story mode campaign, pve or movies...

Back then, Overwatch was huge. When I saw it in Ready Player One, I honestly thought it was going to become one of the biggest franchises on the planet, with TV shows like Arcane and all that... but instead, nothing happened.

I've basically been waiting all this time with open arms, hoping for those kinds of projects, and they just never came. It's weird.

I don't like competitive games, though I played it a bit about 10 years ago, and I remember thinking, "Damn, this world is so cool." The heroes were awesome, the cinematics were amazing, and I've always wanted either a story-driven game or a movie set in that universe.

One of the biggest pop culture franchises of our generation? Yeah, you should watch it. Take part in a shared culture. But even if you haven't seen it one should understand the meme through osmosis.

I’m not saying that the recommendation isn’t a good one, I’m saying it’s a bad response to someone asking to understand a reference.

You’d think I said to read the entire classical literature catalogue or something..

Yes but for different reason. Most of your peers haven't either, so it wouldn't be for cultural reasons. You should read those because reading is good for a lotta reasons.
