Eh, FPS can have a good story mode but it needs to have a STORY MODE. Which overwatch has not.

Though, in somewhat defense, of Overwatch they were going for a multi-media story thing (even though they were doing that for lack of a proper story mode). But, they fucked that up too because a Lack of consistent updates that actually pushed some sort of story forward.  Seriously, they didn’t even need to do it like one big huge over arching story and could have done like a series of comics that focused on smaller arcs all leading to some sort of main plot.

But for that to work they’d need to plan, but, they have no plan*. It’s really obvious that most of the OW cast are just a hodgepodge of different character tropes and themes slapped together around a hero/character-centric FPS so blizzard could make those E-sport bucks.

*I guess to be fair it seems everything post-Reunion had no plan to it. Reunion feels like it’s actually the actual start of them moving towards some kind of story but who knows if they’ll fuck it up or not. Probably helps they hired an actual writer a couple months ago.
