Overwatch Lore thread:
Never Trust An Omnic Edition
Seriously. At least with Widowmaker, it took a lengthy period of time to turn her into a homicidal psychopath.
This guy? Almost turned on his team in a second.
So would Omnic hate be left-wing or right-wing?
>>339469724
See you're trying to talk shit about that omnic
But he's actually the realest motherfucker you've ever seen. He felt control slipping away, and tells his team to run away and then offs himself to protect them.
>>339469724
At least he was loyal enough to eat a bullet than turn on his team.
Did they?
>>339469889
>filename
Head's not big enough and the body's not skinny enough for that to be true.
I wonder if we'll get to see more MEKA pilots or if everyone that isn't D.Va got killed by the giant Omnic before the events of the game.
>>339469724
>Almost turned on his team in a second.
>would rather die for his squad then let himself ever harm them
What happened op? Did your waifu leave you for an omnic?
>>339469953
What? Help each other? Yeah they're comrades. Dude is like twenty years older than Angela. Needs all the help he can get.
>>339469953
It would have only have been the right thing to do. Pure Aryan offspring.
>>339469953
Mercy created 1:1 robotic models of Soldier:76 and Reinhardt to fuck as to remain pure
reminder to respect your elders
>>339469724
Did your gf get CONNECTED?
>>339470050
>D.Va actually had to witness her entire team of esports bros die horrifically in combat
Fucking christ
>>339470108
Dad 76 combined with Mercy tending to old wounded 76 is really busting my balls.
>>339470145
Yes it'd be sad if true.
>two madax junkers somehow manage to take on global military organization and technology powerhouse
>>339470145
>she completely withdrew into her esports persona to keep herself from losing her mind
MY FANFICTION IS BEST FANFICTION
Whos the best ship and why is it Mei/Junkrat?
why is overwatch's lore so bad?
the lore doesnt even match the game
why would winston call the overwatch just to fight each other. but that human vs robot thing seems interesting.
>>339470213
'Straya, cunt. 'Straya.
>>339470213
Just because they don't have grace doesn't mean they aren't effective. Disregard for their own safety and mass amounts of explosions and flak goes a long way
>>339470268
>overwatch
>lore
It's called fanfiction
>>339470145
D. Va: Ah, Doll Girl and Whiny Boy. Together at last. How I shall not miss them.
>>339470213
It's the secret thing Junkrat's holding onto and they aren't really taking on anyone outside of just normal larceny and crime.
>>339470268
So we can have an online game that is balanced and works. I'll bet in the future they have faction vs faction or players vs robots.
>>339470268
Considering its 6v6, its more likely supposed to be a certain group of mercenaries vs another group of mercenaries
Also much like TF2, the lore just works but at the same time doesn't
>>339470213
The crime-ridden, corrupt corporate world outside of their irradiated sandy hell is probably paradise after what the two of them have been through.
Except Russia. Their half-naked selves might have a problem in Russia.
>>339470268
The player vs player fights, as of now, don't impact the canon in any way. Maybe when team villain has enough people or team robit.
Zarya is 100% objectively right.
>>339469724
>MFW anubis is literally Pharaoh Man from Megaman Battle Network Games.
Blizzard plz where be the Megaman equivalent ?
Game needs more evil heroes
there's like 2 evil and 2 of questionable morality
>>339469953
Disgusting.
This guy can't draw side profiles.
>>339470585
Technically there's four since Jamison and Mako were against what the government was doin(Mako) or is bordering on maliciously insane. They are also Australians so being criminals are in their blood.
>>339470585
I agree, a donte edgy wymn support sniper is what i'm hoping sombra is. Imagine all the players that would ACTUALLY PICK SUPPORT!
>>339470495
Jamison go to bed.
>Tracer has to have metal shit stuck to her 24/7 or she fucks up the time space continuum
>Mei was frozen for 8 years and woke up to her coworkers dead
>D.Va most likely had to watch her own friends die in combat
>Phara's mom was a complete cunt to her
>Widowmaker was brainwashed and lost the ability to feel
>Mercy had to watch two of her co-workers get dismembers and put back together, one getting fucked up horribly
Well you can't have heroes without fucked up backstories
>>339470674
Yeah but they're not really in the same league as Reaper or Widowmaker
>>339470674
They were more nutjobs who didn't give a single fuck than villans
Although Jamison might have done something bad to Mei
>>339470746
>reaper was butthurt he didn't get any attention
what a cunt
>>339470746
>Widowmaker was brainwashed and lost the ability to feel
>says she wishes she'd stayed dead if revived
>calls her husband's name if revived
>>339470751
True but compared to Hanzo and Satya, they'd be more readily picked up to work as proxies for Talon than the others. Hell Hanzo might even be against them in the end.
>was the sole survivor of her team trapped in Antarctica
>probably missed the death of several loved ones back home during her time frozen
>she puts on a brave face to her teammates and tries to be upbeat, even resorting to silly puns to try and keep everyone's spirits up
>she resorts to junk food to try and take her mind off the pain she constantly feels, and the crippling survivor's guilt causes her to cry herself to sleep every night
Mei had a hard life ;_;
>>339470820
got a link to this?
>>339470818
Jamison's the nutjob. Mako had an actual reason to turn to crime before Australian became a hellscape.
>>339470746
Reinhardt: I miss the days when all our reasons for fighting was "robots have gone crazy and are trying to kill us."
>>339469827
>hate of an entire group or race on the grounds that they all must be the same and act the same
Sounds pretty right to me desu
>>339470746
I can't really tell how you feel about that but it's nothing new. The tragic hero has been the most common character in any form of literature/media for all time.
>>339470820
>calls her husband's name if revived
O shit I haven't heard that yet
>>339470746
I feel like Mei's backstory could be a strong as fuck animated short. Setup the research station, supplies go to shit, her co-workers stuff her in the freeze. She wakes up 8 years later to a desolate station. Everybody is dead. Super downer. And then Winston shows up. Skip ahead to show a short clip of her in her proper outfit doing environmentalist shit and being kind of wistful about the research station. OVERWATCH
>>339470751
They both have 20+ Million Dollar Bounties
>>339470925
>Mako had an actual reason to turn to crime before Australian became a hellscape.
which was?
>>339470895
You forgot how her Cryo-freeze most likely causes her ptsd to flare up after every fight.
>>339470937
But at the same time
>ALL OMNICS ARE EVIL WEAPONS HOW MANY MORE CHILDREN HAVE TO DIE OMNICCS KILL
I'm getting a leftist vibe
>>339470696
Yeah but if she can't heal then people will say it isn't support
>>339471017
Being a bogan freedom fighter to take back the land the Aussie government took and gave to them fucking tin cans that they were fighting. Then he became Immortan Swine when the hellscape happened.
>>339471017
Australian government giving concessions to Omnics and a lot of bogans and shit in the outback fought against it
>>339470895How badly do you think she broke down when she woke up and say all her teammates laying around dead, or stuck in machines that malfunctioned?
>>339470820
>>says she wishes she'd stayed dead if revived
>>calls her husband's name if revived
Can we stop spreading this head canon already?
>>339470895
>>339471019
Also, the world's environment is worse than ever before.
>>339471109
She was probably starving and dehydrated when Winston's call came in snapping her out of her suicidal daze and caused her survival instincts to kick into gear.
ok everybody, take 5 from the thread and lets adore this godess
>>339470976
Sounds really fucking boring.
If there's no fight scene, then it's not worth animating. Save it for the shitty comics.
>>339471053
I don't get a leftist vibe from that at all, that's pretty right desu
>>339470895
>Has sex with complete strangers and weirdos because is afraid to bond again
>>339471149
It's not so much worse as there's more anomalous activities and the frequency of disasters are concerning.
>>339471109
She probably made her little robot friend so she'd feel a little less lonely. She's frequently annoyed when the dwarf keeps trying to kill it.
>>339470818
I don't think it's even so much that as it is an outright goody two-shoes like Mei can tell that Junkrat is a fucking creepy weirdo and tells him to fuck off when he tries to talk to her. Plus she might well be aware of his antics from the news, Junkrat and Roadhog are quite well known for their criminal activities, apparently.
>>339471171
When will she get to fly an aircraft again?
>>339471171
Got a Mercy one?
I want to see more shit from Vishkar.
Satya best girl
>>339471104
Fukn hell mate, first boat people and now machine people. Can't these cunts get it through their head that Australia is for fuckn Australians.
>>339471253
Probably never. It led to a nightmarish experience for her and would most likely bring that all back if she tried. Maybe under extreme duress she could land or pilot a craft but I doubt she'd readily do it for fun. That's if they make it super serious, might just have a little afternoon special where she gets through it and begins flying again in the comics.
Mei's kinda scary
>>339471271
'fraid not, luv
>>339471205
Plus she absorbs herself in her work for extended periods cooped up in labs in the middle of God-knows-where. Hell, Snowball might be her only social contact for weeks at a time if she works alone.
>>339471303
Sanjay quit trying to have Satya do more stuff that you can readily do.Not nearly enough good art for her.
>>339471376
But she clearly had a team to work with.
Speaking of, why did they all have to get into the cyro chambers and accidentally Jonestown themselves?
>>339471443
why is tracer black
>>339471489
cause shes british
>>339471517
i knew this was coming
>>339471192
Leftists try to push anti-gun agendas because guns have brains and can kill lots of things
I mean, its logical that after the omnic crisis Liberals would be up in arms wanting to kill the omnics
>>339471479
Freak blizzard made their station lose power, they were trapped and ran out of supplies. So it's Blizzard's fault though they didn't do a cult suicide, it was the cryo malfunctioning.
>>339471556
Funny enough Torbjorn would agree with some of it. He's did and still staunchly believes in not automating weapons.
>>339471547
what was?
>really interesting world and setting
>it will never go anywhere and never be given any kind of care or worthwhile advancement because blizzard is in charge
>and no one will be allowed to make their own fan stuff because we live in 2016
>>339471691
so, what is it?
>>339471479
I meant post-freeze. She's been unfrozen for at least a little while by the times of the animated shorts (Her journals where it's established she's gone back to work were from October and November, iirc).
And they were forced to go into cryogenic suspension due to having burned through all their supplies and rescue still didn't look like it was coming anytime soon after their station was hit by a freak snowstorm.
>>339471727
my cummies
>>339471645
>staunchly believes in not automating weapons
>shits out automated turrets every fucking match
>>339471770
Don't forget in the latest fake news story that came out after release made mention of her working to save a bird's nest by her lonesome.
>>339471684
nah, I guarantee we will be getting a OW comic series considering the fact its fucking Blizz and they know they can make money and compete with TF2 more
And why the fuck would they not be able to make fan stuff?
>>339471357
Pisses me off to no end when she freezes you shoots you the head then reloads her tanks with her pinky out
>>339471839
She really is too good for the world.
>>339471887
Because Blizz is insanely jewish and protective of their franchises to the point of C&Ding anythjing that isn't just fanart
>>339471792
Alright I phrased that wrong, he's against skynet/terminator levels of automation. To the point where you could build one to act as an assassin robot with minimal oversight. He's fully against making weapon's and or machines smarter than they are already. It's what led to the crisis.
>>339471980
Fuck man, those are delicious. I wish I could find some.
>>339469889
>loyal
He was probably programmed to shoot himself sort of like a self destruct sequence, filthy fucking machines can't be "loyal"
>>339471981
>that isn't just fanart
What else can you do?
I mean, considering multi-pannel comics already exist, and fanfiction exists as well, there isn't anything else
>>339471684
>history/introduction/world building cinematics for heroes
>shitty comics that still explain more lore
>there's already a bunch of fan animations
>loads of fan art
>tonnes of fanfictions and fan comics
>videos discussing and predicting lore
I get that "DEA NOT LIKE BLIZZARD XXDDD" is hip right now but damn at least use an argument that makes sense
So Overwatch is basically a mediocre webcomic with a tacked on videogame?
People talk about it in the same way, and it seems to attract the same kind of people.
I can't remember the last time I heard someone talk about the actual gameplay.
>>339472050
Okay Mako.
>>339472104
Don't forget the possible two songs Blizzard might've had a hand in making for Lucio's background and the possible toyline.
>>339471987
>>339471645
Torbjorn: Blasted Mecha Monks. They're not even really floating! They're just using jetpacks fastened to their pants.
>>339472106
We have tons of gameplay threads up
Go bait somewhere else
>>339472098
Comics of your own, animated shorts of your own, sfm animated shorts, any sort of fan games etc etc
Could somebody give me a TL;DR on how Talon mindbroke Widowmaker?
>>339472168
I think they said they're actually releasing a retail EP of Lucio's in-universe music.
Why does anyone like Soldier 76? He's a generic "I'm so bad ass" generic white shooter dude made to appeal to the CoD audience. His play style is literally made to be generic FPS man.
Even Mcree breaks his badass shtick and reveals the dork he is inside a bit.
>>339472219
>comics
>animated shorts
You can do this just fine tho
>sfm animated shorts
....eh, seeing how they handle porn I don't know. They might let it slide
>fangames
Who even cares?
>>339472104
I've never seen any of those things except fan art and that's literally it. No fanfics, no fancomics (like real comics), no videos, no fan animations etc. Link me to some, thanks.
>Mfw playing Torbjorn on attack.
>Mfw the tears from my team as they complain about it.
>Mfw I take not only top damage, but top kills too.

>>339472253
Story wise, hes the dad of the entire cast
Gameplay hes actually pretty solid and pretty fast
>>339472275
>Who even cares
This is not a rebuttal, retard.
Also it disgusts me people are actually allowing blizz to remove all sfm porn and acting like it's fine.
>>339472282
>I haven't looked for it and I haven't seen it so it must not exist.
Wooow gg you got me. I nneevveerr expected such a powerful attack.
>>339472220
I'll sum it up to you in one picture
>>339472324
This. Replace rape with pseudo-Ludovico stuff and you've got Widowmaker.
>>339472324
Did they turn Widowmaker into a cube at one point
>>339472372
>remove all sfm porn and acting like it's fine.
Blame US copyright laws.
>>339472386
Well can you link some then?
>>339472372
Anon, what can you do with OW to make a fangame
The only active fangame community I've seen is the Mario and Sonic communities, and they most rely on ROMhacks. TF2 fangames weren't even good
And nobody thinks its fine, we're just aware they aren't going to stop them
>>339472423
Its protected by fair use
So sorry
>>339472408
Sure, they made her think she was a cube.
>>339472439
Go check the main site.
>>339472439
No cause it's 3am, I'm in bed on my phone, and I honestly just don't care about this as much as you apparently. Go learn how to use Google friend.
>>339472476
K go tell all the pornmakers that they have a chance in court or you can do what everyone with a brain is doing and blame Shitaku
>>339472423
I don't have to, because they don't actually work that way, I have to blame retarded people who give corporations this power because they themselves are so ignorant of the law and they have had "COMPANIES ALWAYS WIN" bashed into their brain for decades.
Porn is fair use, art is creative, you are allowed to make art using others assets, and making free shit has always been legal. But we live in a corporatocracy now, so basically even if a law says a company can't do something or you have a certain right, it doesn't matter, because the companies right to do whatever the fuck it wants trumps any other one persons rights.
there is literally no lore in this game
run at the control point/payload, kill each other because Blizzard said so.
Why are the characters fighting? Exactly. GG.
>its a whole thread dedicated to a generic TF2 rip off with muh waifus
>>339472554
Anyone with a brain would ignore blizzard. If it was illegal to make artwork out of copyrighted materials and then display it, the entire modern art movement would never have been started. Because the first guy to make a statue out of coke bottles or to make a sculpture of a man jacking himself off, comprised entirely of used lays potato chips bags, would have been censored immediately.

>It's a "D.Va has to repair her MEKA with the aid of Junkrat and Roadhog if the three of them are to survive against the Talon hit squad that is after them all" episode
>>339472554
They don't have a chance because Blizzard is rich and can manipulate the law
I mean thankfully shit like that is going to be stopped soon if that account H3H3 started is actually put to use
>>339472631
why did you even reply
So what's this stupid talk about Pharah being an amputee?
>>339471175
You are the reason Blizz cinematics have gone to shit lately. Now every fucking cinematic needs an epic fight scene when in the past the greatest Blizz cinematics, like Starcraft 2 Reveal/Wrath of the Lich King didn't need any. They stood by themselves through atmosphere, music, story and direction.
>>339472751
Fetish fucks
The real question is if she has a Latin background because of her mothers nameit would raise her brown girl points up 10+
Robots aren't people, they don't have feelings, they don't deserve land, they're fucking made in a factory. There is literally nothing wrong with busting up an omnic, it's like slapping a pokemon in amie or starving a tamagotchi. Junkrat and Roadhog are good guys, people who are pro-omnic or robo-fuckers are mentally ill, gear-coggers are literal race traitor scum and all robotic """""""""""people""""""""""" deserve to be turned into scrap and made into a lamppost or a bench or some shit
>>339472751
>all those birds
OH GOD ALL THOSE BASTIONS
>>339472643
They can still take the issue to court and to defend yourself properly you'll need to pay legal fees and since the defendant is a lone porn artist or smallish porn hosting site and the prosecuter is an insanely wealthy company;
Blizzard doesn't have to win the court case, they just have to draw it out long enough to get you to give up and cooperate before they bankrupt you with legal fees.
>>339472720
See, people (generally Americans) have this concept of "corporaton cannot lose" abshed into their skulls, even though companies lose legal battles all the fucking time, especially on really clear cut issues like this.
I actually feel like blizzard probably did this in hopes it'd spur MORE porn and talk and a sort of "fuck you blizzard" movement to create more buzz, but unfortunately it isn't 2010 anymore and the internet is WAY too cucked to go against the word of any 2bit corporation anymore.
>>339471901
Don't forget to add the voice line: https://www.myinstants.com/instant/mei-sorry/
>>339472886
Then take it to court and fight them, again stop having a retarded "WE CAN'T STOP THEM, JUST GOTTA LET THEM DO WHAT THEY WANT" attitude. Fuck blizzard, I'll make whatever fucking artweork I want and until they come to my house with armed SWAT officers, they ccannot do a damn thing.
You are a fool and by the time you are 60 you will have no freedoms left because you continually allow companies to erode them out of some childish comic book fantasy.
>>339472871
>Does Egyptian girl have Latin background
The answer is maybe. It'd most likely come from her unknown father's side than Ana.
>>339472884
Gotta get them trophies for killers mang.
>>339472576
Lore won't effect gameplay directly, but it adds some glue. You can have a game that's just colorless polygons doing the same things with the same gameplay, but when they're all designed to be together in a world that houses them, it adds flavor.
>>339470976
>Winston goes into HQ
>dead bodies everywhere

>finds one active
>contains Mei

>>339472751
The modelers made her joints WAY to small or impossibly shaped for elbows or knees to fit in so the only logical explication is that it's a robotic prosthetic suit but the devs are saying "She's not an amputee" without any explication towards the ball joints for elbows.
>>339472751
Because her suit has 'doll joints' or some shit
So does Reinhardt but we know for a fact it's part of his armor.
>>339472886
You act like there aren't any free speech or art groups out there that would LOVE to pay the legal fees to fight something like that. If it DID go to court and blizzard won, it'd set a very bad prescdent that many groups would not like.
>>339472986
You do know people don't go against corporations because if you do lose the case, you are fined so hard you're driven to fucking suicide, right?
>>339470050
Her entire team got killed live on twitch. She has to fake a smile every time so memer makes a joke about it in her chat.
>>339472904
>this concept of "corporaton cannot lose"
But that is false and you literally just proved it in your next sentence
What you're mistaking is legal battles over illegally ripping ones copyrighted models/work to use in anything porn or whatever included
A majority of the sfm videos use ripped models which is clearly illegal under US law and in sure many international law as well
Nintendo had a issue about this when someone tried to remake a Mario game which Nintendo was fine with until they found out they used dolphin to rip the character models
>>339472986
Did you not read what I just wrote? Blizzards very expensive and very good lawyers know how to make the legal process take as long as possible,
so it drains the money of the defendant through paying for a lawyer until the defendant simply can't afford to keep fighting without losing everything they own.
And if the defendant tries to go against Blizzard's army of lawyers alone they'll get destroyed.
It's not as easy as walking up to the judge and saying "See its fair use" or "see its parody."

D.Va is fighting because her asian overlords told her its a new game
Junkrat is fighting because fuck you explosions
Roadhog is fighting because junkrat blew something up and might as well go punch it. Might have some cash or gas on it
McCree is fighting because hes drunk and he doesnt realize that 12 bongs only comes 2 times a day
Mei is fighting because thick
Mercy isnt fighting at all, shes healing old man soldier because she has a silver fox fetish
Pharah is fighting because shes fucking brain damaged
Reaper is fighting because for every 4 POTG's, he gets a 25$ giftcard to hot topic
Reinhardt fights because he got hit on the head to many times, thinks hes don quixote and has hero syndrome

Why is mercy so shit compared to lucio?
With Lucio it doesn't matter if your entire team are mongoloids, you can still win
With mercy you just get picked off over and over again and blamed at the end

I'll bet my bottom dollar that Blizzard still has more money and Lawyers than those groups could provide.
And when it comes to a case about blatant pornography I think you'd be surprised at how many groups would NOT get involved to save face and keep their organization away from the "demonized" concept of pornography
>>339473212
With Lucio brain-dead people don't need to worry about you since you can actually fight back
Mercy needs a team who can protect her which never ever fucking happens

Actually law firms have adapted to this because of losing clients through court manipulation by offering free service in cases they are confident they can win in the long term
Plus once a case is settled , through loop holes , the client and the law firm or both can go back to court and sue for something unrelated to the original case but related to the court process and get more money
Many people abuse this on small companies and doing it to a larger one like activision-blizzard takes time but is very active
Which is why many corperation don't settle as they used to but again law firms are slowly but surely finding other ways to out jew the jews

I'd probably accuse you of misrepresenting statistics to force a bogus factoid, but I don't really want to turn this into a shitty /pol/ thread. But yes, as mwentioned earlier, painting an entire group as behaving of some specific way is indeed a very right wing thing.

Where the fuck does D.va find time to be a mercenary, super hero, military soldier, pro gamer, high schooler AND a twitch streamer?
>>339473571
Holy autism
>>339473615
I remember hearing about how in WW2 they had missiles with a certain kind of material laced on them that would slowly cook the inside of a tank, and essentially turn in into a giant Brazen Bull
>Omics being able to roast mech pilots from the fucking inside
I fucking pity D.Va

High Schoolers can do EVERYTHING and not have bad grades.

>D.va telling herself she's overthinking
Hana confirmed for having chan 'tism.
>>339473664
She's proud of her APM for a reason.
>>339473615
So, what is the more in depth backstory of the omnics? The game just glosses over that a war happened between humans and omnics but not how it came to be or why.
The way the game paints it, it sounds like the omnics one day just went genocidal unprovoked and tried to slaughter everyone, then after some time wanted world peace?
>>339473664
Its a timeline
Pro gamer -> military -> idol -> mercenary
>>339473615
You know, if it wasn't a headcanon pushed by /vg/. Nothing bad has happened in D.va's life.
>>339473820
Pretty quick timeline considering her age
>>339473293
Yeah tell me about it
Fucking obnoxious
>>339473820
Wrong it should be
Pro gamer>idol>military>merc/twitch slut when not needed by the military.
>>339473869
It is indeed. She was a world champ SC player during her teens years and it's why she got picked up by the military.
so nobody actually tried to prove there's lore in this game.
There is ZERO lore in this game. Nothing. No character backgrounds, cutscenes, explanations, nothing. All of that has to be explained by outside sources.
Nobody has answered: Why are the characters fighting each other? There's no reason given.
Because Blizzard said to defend the control point/payload. That's all. You moronic cucks.
There should be an edgy merc hero with an obsession with money
>>339473889
No, it would be military>idol
The game says she was idolized after the Omnic crisis
>>339473869
Dude, the entire period between the OC and present is like 20-30 years
>>339473876
I always try to protect our little team healing slut ;)

When will this meme dieI main tanks anyway fuccboi
>>339473826
>nothing bad has ever happened in war that killed of countries
Yeah okay
>>339473889
I like the idea of D.va losing her idol status due to spending the majority of her time on military/merc shit, so she has to resort to being a cam whore or doing porn to get her fame back.
>>339473960
D.va is 19. I doubt she was doing ANY of that shit when she was 14 or younger, so at best all that ocurred in a span of 3-4 years for her
>>339473580
>misrepresenting statistics
>>339473950
>I don't read:the post:the story;the maddening
>>339473960
You mean after worst Korea picked up her and the others to pilot the Meka against Mecha-MUTO. She wasn't alive during the crisis and she was going through her pro gamer life before the military. A life that lead to her being a celebrity because of her being a champion. Sure her being a twitch slut could be from the military but she most likely dabbled in idol work after being crowned the champion of SC/non-specified game
>>339474037
It's outright stated that she livestreams her battles in the MEKA.
She's still super famous
>>339474046
As you say, anon.
>>339473950
>Why are the characters fighting each other?
Why is this the only thing lore can be about? How are the character interactions where they talk about stuff from their past not lore?
>>339474098
Oh wait, the Mecha Kaiju appeared after the OC?
>>339473783
>Major countries around the world develop huge AI factories that handle all the production and logistics
>AIs decide to go rogue one day for no known reason and begin using the factories to create Bastion units
>They try to exterminate humanity and every nation in the world except Russia falls to them
>Remnants of the old governments band together and form Overwatch who fight a guerilla war against the global omnic control of Earth
>They somehow stop the omnics at their source and end the war so humanity can reclaim Earth
>The omnics that are left want to coexist with the people they tried to genocide and don't think it's fair that the AIs behind the rebellion made everyone distrust them too
>Omnics in Russia start another attempt at genocide a few decades later in the current time
The way it's described makes it sound like the individual omnics were part of a genocidal hivemind until Overwatch stopped the factories and then the omnics that were left just wanted to live peacefully since they didn't think they were guilty of anything the hivemind did.Scrap em all.
>>339474034
Shocking yes, because I know her timeline and before Worst Korea fucked themselves they were using drone meka to fight Mech-Gojira every few years. Mecha-Gojira just upped his game and nullified the drones forcing Korea to scramble to turn said meka into pilotable meka. She's a spoiled child that views it as a game and probably will continue to do so until reality slaps her in the face as it cums inside her.
>>339474098
She absolutely starred in a movie, at the very least. Hero of my storm.
Omnics did nothing wrong
>build robots with the ability to do what they do
>n-no stop that l-leave my wife alone
We need an Omnic hero who will make Omnics great again.
Not some traitors.

It's better to just not respondI agree with him though,the statistics are out there. If you lived in a neighborhood with a high crime rate and were the only house without bars on your windows, you'd get called an idiot. If you were around blacks and didn't relax, you'd get called a racist instead
>>339474201
Yeah, it most likely came about because of the OC but it didn't attack Worst Korea until after the Crisis.
>>339474214
They were.
>>339474152
Because the motherfucking concept of the game does not make sense. Regardless of how much "talking about their past" is in it.
WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING?
Keep in mind I'm not a shill, I have the game for both PC and PS4.
But you cannot defend that there is any fucking lore in this game when you cannot explain why the characters are fighting. You just can't.

>>339470127
MECHED
>>339474337
You can blame the company that sold the Omniums since they painted it as a literal free workforce that didn't need to be taken care of.
>>339474347
Maybe for the second one but the first one was largely corporate incompetence and probability making the perfect storm

>>339474264
Well, it is racist, anon.
It isn't racist to say "the majority of x is done by y" if you have some facts (and are transparent, since 90% of such articles tend to be bullshit or misrepresented). It is indeed racist to state that because you have some statistics of a group doing something, all members of that group are likely to do it and should be prejudged based on others actions.
It's racist AND retarded, since you probably don't like it when black people try to shame the white race for what other whites did hundreds of years ago.
But I'm filtering these posts now to avoid a full /pol/ thread
>>339474363

Can't 76 just drop his own can of FREE healings?
>>339474310
>>339474430
Because there are opposing "teams" in the lore, but to limit the character selection by making it "good guys vs bad guys" is to limit the gameplay.
doing things to benefit the gameplay > doing things to adhere to the story
>>339474457
>people STILL trust companies to not be willing to nuke the entire planet and human race to make a 0.1% profit increase

He probably ran out cause healings ain't free. They're paid with the blood of the biotics. TIM is not his friend.
>>339474495

>those friends who are complete dogshit
Why does she have to look cool and be fun to play. I'd fucking bail on this shit otherwise
>>339474531
The point of my post:
You cannot argue that Blizzard cares about the rest of the lore (MUH BACKGROUNDS) when they did not think of a reason for the characters to fight.
Think of it like a pyramid, but where the upmost point is the most important. Okay, have you visualized it? Read on.
None of the other shit matters if the most important part (the combat) does not make sense.
>>339474601
No, nobody actually believes that a military would get teens and young adults to pilot mechs because they can play Starcraft well. But it does make sense.
>>339474656
What other games could they have said, granted they had the rights to use it?
>>339474643
>That is LITERALLY D.Vas entire backstory
It DOESN'T make it good. I would love to see the picture of the inbred retard who came up with D.va and Reaper's """stories"""
>>339474643
>So really, its just whoever 76/Reaper can buy out?
No, it's whoever the player feels like playing as
>>339474693
It's a video game.
>>339474643
>So really, its just whoever 76/Reaper can buy out?
I'd assume it's a random person hiring them to do various things like transport shit. I'd just assume that all of them are doing it for certain reasons, and others were hired by someone kind of like Junkrat/Roadhog were in their short comic.
I mean one of the payloads has you delivering an emp to an omnic city or some shit, I'm sure at least a few of the characters would want to stop that for moral reasons.
>>339474715
I don't know but what other games do koreans autistically play? Only thing that's coming to mind is DnF. Whatever the case, they changed it to be vaguer
>>339474601
She didn't play to get picked. She got picked because she played. Played very well.
>>339474758
Story-wise, anon
>>339474757
>I don't like it so it doesn't count
>>339474847
Story-wise pvp matches don't impact the lore
>>339474757
>>339474643
Reminder that D.Va's APM is over 3500 minimum. They probably picked her because of how fucking good she is at multitasking instead of the game she played.

>>339474785
I'm cool with it being a video game. I've bought the game twice, on PC and PS4. I like to shoot things.
But why are people obsessed with the LORE when the primary aspect of the gameplay had zero attention paid to it?
Just shoot things.
>>339474693
I didn't need to know my character's motivation for fighting each other in games like Quake or Timesplitters.
It's a video game. The reason they're fighting is because that's what the game is about. It doesn't matter if the backstory does a good job of explaining why each individual character is doing what the player is making them do.
>>339474517

>>339474847
>I failed basic reading comprehension, or I am a dirty foreigner.
Also I'm sure the military will take you away from your mom's basement one day for being good at video games.
Mei is the worst character. It's like Blizzard know that the 'gamer girls' and SJWs are the loudest bunch on the internet so they bent over backwards to make her nice and inoffensive while also being extremely OP and a mary sue.
We can't have the character that geek girls relate to have any negative character traits.

The combat is mostly headcannon but other than that the lore is still well done
>>339475114
I don't know anon. Why do you want what is essentially a mini repeatable warhead in the hands of Talon?
>>339474915
Because the lore's interesting. Potentially.
>>339475043
Stay mad.She is pretty bullshit though.
>>339475114
Winston knew Reaper was up to some shit so he most likely tracked him down and got his human timefucking waifu to help
>>339474915
Because I like lore, I like the characters, I like the world and I want to see that world expand and becoming a living world that we can really dive into and learn more about.
>>339475183
Well there is a reason right there for one of the payload maps. The Numbani one has you delivering doomfists gautnlet.
>>339475043
How much damage did she hit you for?
>>339475185
Which overwatch girl would be most likely to 420 blaze it?
>>339474531
