Please be advised: We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable. After that we will require new threads to discuss topics. Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread. Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads. | ||

We can certainly doubt their reasons, but it's nonsensical to assume it's because they have ulterior motives and are intentionally with holding some amazing fun game instead. Not everybody plays WoW by a long shot. If Blizzard did a sci-fi MMO right, there could easily have been room enough for both games. | ||

I couldn't care less about that, if i like the game i will play it, if not, i won't, esport or not. People are obsessed with a games potential as an Esport as "validating" if it is a good competitive game or not. I personally give no shits and just want fun games to play. I barely have time to watch the Esports I am interested in. | ||

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2a2p8m_overwatch-14-minutes-de-gameplay-a-la-blizzcon-2014_videogames?start=0 look pretty damn fun to play, but i found it pretty confuse to spectate at the begining. i was totaly lost for the first 5 min of the game, and started to understand more of it by the end of the match. it is still expected to be that way for the very first game you spectate as you don't know the maps, heros and skill yet, though. | ||

Arguably, blizzard has the best games of each genre, or at least had at one point, so the argument about them sucking is plain retarded. Look at other game companies who try to do that and fail. EA, for example. All they really have to do after this is make sequels and expansions and possibly start making Free/app games and puzzle shit. And you all will play the fuck out of those too, because blizzard makes at worst, better than average games. | ||

I don't think any of their latest games are better than average (depending on the definition of average of course). The only thing that is above average in them is controls and polish. | ||

 You can find a miniature that looks almost identical for every character in the trailer and on the banner. Well except for the gorilla in power suit that looks like a karman from at-43: ![[image loading]](http://i2.cdscdn.com/pdt2/3/9/3/1/700x700/rac3661116096393/rw/rackham-kare02-at43-f.jpg) | ||

That changed after the release of Starcraft2 and Diablo3, both at best average games. Blizzard is ruining what made them stand out of the crowd - being known for quality games. In the last years they missed out on every chance they had. Way to ruin your legacy. So yeah, I won't play this game at all, same for their trash MOBA game. Not interested. That's coming from someone who was a Blizzard fanboy some time ago (never played WoW but owned all games prior to that). | ||

Depends on how you define successful. WoW is obviously the most successful MMORPG but I'd argue D2 and SC1 were far, far more successful than their sequels. | ||

It's going to be pretty interesting to see Hearthstone's numbers once that Android port finally comes out. | ||

But ironically it is exactly these changes which are arguably making them an even more popular company now; the masses *love* epic fights, simple dialogue and combat, hollywood-style cinematics. This is why call of duty and similar games sell so well; what they lose in depth they make up for in terms of broad appeal. So you can say Blizzard has become hugely successful over time, though subjectively you might say for the wrong reasons (no one can claim anything objective here). I have to say hearthstone is a good exception though. I think they are trying to make a quality game but overall the main focus is on simplified dialogues, interfaces, and gameplay. I'm sure that its nowhere near as involved or interesting as the "Magic" card game is, for example. | ||

Best selling PC games of all time. Number at left is rank. Number at right is millions of copies sold. 1. Minecraft.....................17 2. World of Warcraft.....14 3. Diablo 3.....................12 4. Half Life 2...................12 5. Starcraft....................11 ... 10-14. Starcraft 2...........6 ... 16-20. Diablo 2...............4 ... 24-31. Warcraft 3...........3 Starcraft is the only Blizzard game where the most recent iteration is not the most successful, commercially. | ||
