The issue that i have with Overwatch's Story

 


I Play Overwatch since i was 18 years old and i begin to hear about the story itself during the summer of 2017 but before that i heard of the game that was out in 2016 after coming across the short film around January 2016 and then the video game was out there was the story and characters that was display when gameplay was shown i would see it in summer 2017 and i see who the characters are and their backstories before the new ones show up and kind of fit in the story or don't really add anything in other than feeling like backdrop characters but then i always wonder of the backstory itself and how did Overwatch fall and who was responsible for it but then more and more info about it's background and then came the scandals of it which i was losing my patience with whenever it's the online game itself or that the story said that Omnic crisis which was Overwatch's conflict with and then later on the game talk about some those who are high ranking officials mission failures corruption mismanagement weapons proliferation human rights abuse and more likely blackmail but they never find out who did it or what cause it like i'm sure that it would be Sombra the hacker herself which would likely be the reason why she done it cause she can blackmail anyone and direct contact with anyone. it's only the backstory itself and never get the real action with overwatch falling apart and seeing which gets killed off. 

Like how will Soldier 76 finds out the real mastermind they never add in other events than just the organization or hell how will they'll be assemble and maybe a reunion and lately i fit that they always other stories like how will Bastion fit in. 

Zarya hatred towards Bastion
D.VA 
Winston meeting his old friends 
Reaper's true face 
Widowmaker's brainwashing 
Sombra held responsible for the organization
Mercy's beliefs 
Genji's face is never reveal and whatever happen to it. 

When you look at the short films instead it's only the organization fall and these heroes are wondering around only short stories not an actual story as these first second third and other anniversaries of the game goes on and doesn't give out much and we get the comics short stories or animated films that doesn't go anywhere else and to top it all off, they never show who was the real mastermind behind it or setting up Overwatch as being held responsible for it and cause of Blizzard working on The sequel maybe that can answer these questions. 

But the story lacks any information given and feels like a mess not going anywhere else and feels like slowly and going backwards.
