Didn't realize loot boxes were gonna be a bit easier to get.
All their games have micro transactions. Let's not pretend their "support" is coming from a place of nobility.So many people whine that devs don't support their games much after release. We got a shit load of free stuff from Blizzard supporting multiple years-old games and people say it's awful and Blizzard sucks.

Nothing wrong with it, but "support" here mainly just means more shit for you to buy.

Diablo 3
-Remaking Diablo 1 in Diablo 3! It's a rift, with a forced visual filter that looks like absolute shit....and it's a seasonal event! 1 month every year!
-Necro being added to Diablo 3! Most likely going to cost $15 or some bullshit and its not coming out until late next year....
Happy Anniversary!
Starcraft 2
Dead game.
WoW
Night and day difference from that worthless sack of shit that was WoD, i'm actually impressed with the content creation. For the first time in years they are actually giving a shit!
Overwatch
Lots of attention though that's obvious seeing the game is still very new. Stuff seems good.
HotS
I care the least about this game but at least Blizzard is still giving it real support so that's good for those that do like the game.
Overall a 5/10
The real deal is in people's mind.
Blizzard was able somehow to pass this corporate idea so that you are a Blizzard fan more than you are a specific game fan. So, the bulk of these announcements together make for some good stuff, as long you're a player who's essentially affiliated to the Blizzard brand.
Otherwise, individually, there isn't really anything amazing. Path of Exile is doing far more than D3, with a dev team that is a tiny fraction of Blizzard's.
For some reason it's as if EA announced something new for Fifa and CoD players should rejoice...
I only care about Overwatch.
Overwatch content delivered.
Happy person i am.
2 characters and a map for Overwatch in 2016. Fuck your loot-crates, Blizzard.
People who don't have time to commit to 45-60 min matches.HotS is - I have no clue who plays this when League and Dota 2 exist.

HotS scratches my moba itch, and I enjoy the shorter matches.
I mainly play wow hots and overwatch and all three games got great announcements.
It's just a fun throwback to the first game. I don't think it's a terrible idea at allWhy would they release a pixelized, time-limited Diablo dungeon with shittier movement? It's just a terrible fucking idea.

War Chest for SC2 is huge, Deepmind AI is huge, and the "daed gaem" thing is pure ignorant.
Well, what has Overwatch announced that everyone wasn't already largely expecting?
Would suggest trying it during the Genji skin promotion. Earn yourself a skin in Overwatch even if you don't end up liking HotS.Lots of cool stuff announced for their games. I'm mostly into Overwatch and Hearthstone but I might even try HOTS again!
yeah Blizzard is one of the worst devs!i'm more surprised that people actually expect good things from blizzard.

lol wut
So what did you mean? Are you implying Blizzard has never released anything good so expecting it from them is pointless?they don't have to be the worst to be disappointing.
they don't have to be the worst to be disappointing.
I just don't know why you're acting like people should expect bad things. Their two box releases this year were received extremely well, and the content for the other games looks good too. Only people who got let down really were Diablo fans because expectations were crazy high - and even then we still know they're developing a new game and it just wasn't ready to show yet. They have been remarkably consistent in delivering quality games in their history, unless you believe the alternate reality some GAF users live in.they don't have to be the worst to be disappointing.
