If only games were shorter...

Yeah, I'm definitely reading this. I'm one who does this (with a heart of good-intentioned hopeful suggestions), but I imagine it's annoying. I've realized devs have already thought of anything I could think of, and there's a reason why it's not there.

Thanks for sharing this.

Not sure why the GIF didn't work. Weird. I find this funny.

What was the expectation for 2XKO? Was it supposed to be bigger than Legends of Runeterra? Was it supposed to take over the FGC?

This might be a game where the ambitions were more than they could chew.

That's okay. For me, Nintendo hasn't been able to top Mario 3 or World.

Wonder, Odyssey, and 64 are still amazing, though.

Whatever Miyazaki does next, it'll be dope.

I also find it interesting Marvel Rivals hasn't come up much. They're having their own relevancy struggles. Some think this is all happening because of MR. Pretty sure people who play MR do it for Marvel by now. 5/5

Including more narrative is smart business, too. People buy Overwatch merchandise. Without story, there's no attachment. Blizzard's not reaching another 10 years with just collabs and competitive events. 4/5

It also didn't help Blizzard that they're production values were high from the start, so seeing a full cinematic short again says "We're serious about this." 3/5

Bringing back narrative fleshes out Overwatch's characters. They're just characters on a screen fighting each other, otherwise. Call of Duty does that. That's not OW. 2/5
