Brack is giving an apology about the China stuff right now before getting into things

But it's just saying "hey we messed up, sorry, we are committed to being a global organization, and this event shows that with so many global people" etc

I feel like it's just stopping short of actually meaning anything legit though.

Diablo 4 cinematic

it was very good.

people often ask what it is that diablo 2 story did that was supposedly better than diablo 3's, and was it actually any good. I don't know if i can say the story was better or not, but it definitely created a sense of atmosphere that diablo 3 didn't. This cinematic captured that feeling imo.

Itll probably go just fine considering the multiple announcements they have in store. Im not fond either (though it helps that Im not a Blizzard fan in the first place) but I dont expect this to be the shitstorm it was last year because fans are getting the video games they want.

Hearthstone Battlegrounds

It's their answer to autobattlers. It's built into the Hearthstone interface, not clear how this really works, but it's an 8 player mode where you pick units as you go.

Two takeaways from the Overwatch 2 cinematic.

These VAs for Overwatch are extremely good for quick qwips and are terrible for continuous back and forth dialogue.

This is def bullshit but I could not help but smile at the irony that Mei was so prominent in this trailer.

yeah. it started off dumb, but then retroactively justified the dumbest thing about wotlk

i feel like i need to understand the motivations of at least one character in a scene in order for me to connect with a scene. and we didn't understand either character's motivation until 80% of the way through

I guess it's pve and the new pvp game mode(s). Probably there'll be exclusive skins and stuff to go along with it.

I didn't care for the pve stuff, but hopefully they're dedicating a team or something to it now so that it will be more in-depth and fun.

Also it looks like it's going to launch with like 6 or so maps, so I expect this to not be actually good for more than a couple of hours until like a year.

Cross-compatible:

- Maps
- Characters
- PVP modes
- Skins/progress

Only in 2:

- Story missions
- PVE modes
- Hero mode (which they compared to D3's adventure mode)
- Remastered characters/maps
- Engine upgrades

Unclear:

- Crossplay?

I like the Halloween horde mode in Overwatch, but thought all the actual PvE large map stuff was whatever.

Seems like a hard no RN.

I'll buy it if there's a "Fuck the Chinese Government" for Mei. Has to have it uncensored, though.

I think the new engine is only going to apply to the PVE stuff honestly. They've said before that the original Overwatch engine wasn't really able to do PVE which is why all of the events kinda suck.

Maps and characters are crossplay but is the new push mode coming to OW1? No direct confirmation anywhere that I can see

That Overwatch 2 cinematic was really bad. Damn. I really love these cinematics and that was such a drop in writing quality that it hurts.

The stakes were poorly set up, the scene doesn't really make sense (they didn't notice the giant robot when they flew in? are things over now with the giant robot down?), and the dialogue was often just catch phrases. It was basically just a montage to show off each character showing up to look cool.. Very disappointing.

Uhh yeah I think that was the point. Should be comparing it to the original Overwatch cinematic (Tracer and Winston vs Reaper and Widow) instead of the individual character ones.

The cinematic was cheesy and lame, but in a fun way. I liked it. Seeing the heroes teaming up is an easy way to hype things.

I want to see a full audience reaction though. I think that will make it more enjoyable. I've just seen this clip:

Saw the Shadowlands trailer and it was kind of lackluster compared to the other trailers. Doesn't help it was focused on Sylvanas who I loathe.

Her not only soloing the Lich King, but an army of Scourge, and ripping apart the Helm of Domination with her BARE HANDS was fucking stupid. Seriously, she's gotten fanfic tier broken out of nowhere. Poor Bolvar.

Also kind of makes the end of WotLK pointless since apparently there doesn't need to be a Lich King I guess? Unless the Scourge are just going to go mental now.

Well, presumably there needed to be a Lich King to prevent the shadowy monster from escaping.
