Also, in regards to the "people don't care about Overwatch" bit... well, it's very striking designs in a high-action near-future with a continuing, if a bit mishandled, lore. How is that ANY different from comics?

Besides, this is Blizzard. They've got plenty of people still caring about WoW this far out.

I used to be a heavy gamer. I decided to stop almost 10 years ago, get some advanced degrees and use my high IQ towards other ventures. Funny thing is when I stopped gaming, I became smarter, more motivated, reached my potential, simply used the gifts I was endowed with. I loved games back in the day....just loved them.

I tried to play again and it just wasn't me any more. My problem is, I cannot pretend to be someone else. I tried hard to be involved in a story and make myself that character, and I could never make myself a character in the story. Maybe I lack imagination or just on of those people who simply fell out of love?


I cannot get into backstories and deep plots and so on, in gaming. To be fair, I am also that way in movies. I find drama's boring...very much. Maybe I just lack the mental abilities to be involved in a moving, well laden story?

I think at this point, I am just a guy who like simple things. There's the main boss, I am a plumber and needs to save a princess...got it. I actually enjoy my old school comics, with the weekly or monthly villain who idiotic plot always gets foiled by the hero and no one can figure out who that the fumbling, reporter, with bad posture, really is Superdude.
