Console fps with a controller is actually more comfortable than using a mouse and keyboard therefore its better

TF2 characters were never painted to be Heroes. Hell they're terrible people and a bunch of jerks to eachother. When they save the day or so something nice it isn't expected and is kind of heartwarming.

The characters blizzard decided to focus on are ment to be seen as heroes or generic vilian. You won't see them stray from that role. Tracer being nice to someone is expected and what you'll see.

It's be fine if they used modern stick techniques and fine-tuned the acceleration and dead zones.

Console shooters are pretty good these days, especially for games like Overwatch or TF2, which really aren't all about super twitch gameplay.

Fair point, but in some cases they make it harder to read what class you're looking at, Dota is starting to suffer from this shit too, I guess Valve just give up at a certain point.

OK, but they change the entire game by existing. No longer can you think "Oh, we just need another Engineer", you have to consider all of the alternate weapons for that class and whether you/your teammate has them.

>Junkrat, Roadhog
>falling flat.

The funny thing about that is Junk and Roadhog are the closest to TF2 characters Overwatch has. The short comic they had reveals that they want to do legitimate merc work but end up lining the pockets of an already rich man while also almost getting killed in the process to which at the end of the comic they kill the man that hired them for screwing them much like our favorite Gun trotting team.

Reinheart is one such character as well he finds life on the battlefield a fulfilling one and truly feels alive while in battle.
>>
>>379534531
What's a reddit joke?
>>
>>379533943
Part of it is because sfm takes way too fucking long to do anything, and part of it has to do with the majority of the character's voice actors are either too old or too sick to be able to fully reprise their roles. That's why Expiration Date had some of the mercs not even have any lines.
>>
>>379533818
The only reason Venture Bros. still exists is because the creators fund it themselves with merchandise sales and fan money. Shows need to force memes instead of character developed jokes.

The company lacks direction because all projects are started by random employees. What you end up with is a bunch of ideas that most likely don't pan out, or get enough attention at the office to warrant general change and good design ideas to be brought to the table. People also get into all sorts of things, I imagine the ability to bring movies to Steam was one project, the whole VR thing was another. It's not that they can't make them, it's that they lack enough focus, and nobody wants to be design lead on Half Life 3 because if it sucks, everyone will blame them for that forever.

The thing about TF2 characters is that they are relatable as fuck. Sure, they have exaggerated features and mannerisms and they are based on stereotypes, but the characterization Valve did on them is nothing short of incredible.

Blizzard characters tend to be simple carboard cutouts that set out to do one thing and one thing only, which they passably do, but that's it.

It's fun, and a little different.

Overwatch puts all these different lore tidbits into their maps when it's completely unnecessary and most players won't even see them. They just had a limited time event that played like a single level from a co-op campaign complete with scripted cinematic events.

It's pretty obvious they want to make a story that's about more than just black comedy, and a lot of people seem to like that. It's not perfectly written, but I can turn my brain off and enjoy it well enough.

>Why are Overwatch characters so bland and lacking personality in comparison to TF2 characters?
Simple: TF2 took broad character archetypes, narrowed them down a bit and turned them into likable and even believable characters, with flaws, vices, self-deprecating humor, etc. Overwatch takes broad character archetypes, slaps dialogue on them and calls it a day, without any nuance added to the "characters", they all become flat and extremely generic.
For instance: none of the canon "good" guys in Overwatch have any character flaws, because otherwise their alignment wouldn't be easily digestible and if that's the case, someone might not be able to immediately grasp something, which means the game stops being for "everyone".

My dude the Overwatch community is never going to be like TF2's Gmod or SFM community, nor do they should be or want to be, or even envy it in any way.

Overwatch as a setting is not mature enough to not take itself so seriously that these kinds of thing wouldn't just feel awkward if they were done.

TF2fags why do you feel the need to constantly shit on OW? I've literally never played OW and don't plan on it but I don't make threads attempting to prove one is better than the other.
TF2 and OW appeal to different demographics, just play the game you like.

I like that it focuses on the multiplayer game while making the "singleplayer" events, it's a neat idea.

I would pay for a campaign expansion, though

>You have to turn your brain off for a story that takes itself seriously
What's unusual about this? That's action games, a lot of anime, summer blockbusters in a nutshell. The story isn't fantastic, but if you don't look at it too closely, it's fine and enjoyable. If you like the ideas but don't think the execution is perfect, for instance.

He´s all about hockey, has hockey skins. and doesnt speak ANY SINGLE LINE OF PORTUGUESE or mentions brazil anywhere. (Meanwhile most other characters from said region at least have one or two lines on their native language or accent)
Same as how Pharah is was not actually egyptian but native american at first.
Then changed it for reasons.

It's the exact opposite. They decided on the Egyptian theme during the concept phase and the Native American skin wasn't done until a month before the game came out because they thought it looked cool.

It wouldn't because TF2 doesn't have one button ultimates that look flash and the maps aren't as linear.

Overwatch setting takes itself seriously enough so preteens who think they are hot shit or just edgy can relate to the setting, the rest dont mind it a lot since the game disguises that seriousness by adding stupid shit in game. Making nonsencical humor a lá TF2 SFM would be too awkward for it. While ironic pre-baked humour like MLG montages wouldn't, which happens to be enjoyed by people somewhere near that same demographic.

The OW videos completely show why I don't understand this game or it's characters. These are supposed to be heroes yet I never really ever felt like they were heroic. All I could think of while watching tracer is that if she actually hit widowmaker it'd be like flash taking out a 9mm and shooting capt boomerang in the leg. It's such a clean cut manufactured game running on the popularity of comicbook movies and mobas.

Where as TF2 embraced the silly nature of endlessly dying for objectives and reflected it's characterization through bite sized shorts. OW on the other hand just feels like I'm watching the wrong game. Like who the fuck thinks 'golly gee just look at how heroic tracer was by sticking that gorilla with a bomb! Did you see the way pharah heroically blew tracer off the planet with her missiles! WEW." It's just so fucking weird to watch and read those comics then realize the game is just a 6vs6 fragemup, and they can't even get that done right.

>>379531460
Blizzard for some reason wants to keep the story of the comics and shorts separate from the game. That is why you have this rivalry between 76 and reaper in the comics but they act like two people having one line conversations in the game. In another example is the bastions short, in the end he returns to the forest but in the game people act like they seen him before and he's doesn't suffer from robo ptsd.

Neither game come off as inherently try-hard in their attempts to establish personality.

TF2's team decided to take more risks with their game's personalities because they knew their crowd.

That's OW's problem though. They know their crowd. It's Blizzard fans that are the core base and people who initially hyped the game, and that's a huge and diverse fan base.

Not saying Valve didn't have a diverse fan base at the launch of TF2 but it was a different time socially.

It was completely necessary for OW to have a more massive appeal in general. You can't have an all white cast reveling in dark humor nowadays. It would just cause too much shit.

TF2 went through many design iterations until everything from the art style to comedic tone were balanced to perfection, all the while pioneering the team based genre.

We dont know a lot about most characters so most of it comes from speculation and the fact that Blizz went for the "no one is perfect" trope.
I dont know a lot about Orisa and that is perfectly fine, the less you, i or anyone know about this abortion of a character the better, she is literally and event enemy NPC made into a hero and that's where she should go back too. Irrelevancy. Give her kit and weapon to someone or something more interesting, its the only thing worthwhile that came with that stupid horse.

Mercy also didnt have a lot of exposure, but she has a hint vanity in her voice and all those conspiracies.

Zen is still just an omnic and he could or could not go berserk again if the God AI's or whatever they were wake up again.

And really my dude? Sombra? the one chaotic neutral character?

Well, Valve had fun making the characters all complete assholes, and being able to write a flawed character that mostly acts in self interest can leave a lot of room for the character to be as expressive as they want.
Overwatch however, they really wanted to play up the "Hero" angle, and making a character a perfect paragon usually ends up with someone who's one note and flatter than a piece of wood. Tracer is a perfect example.
Still not quite sure how they fucked up characters like Widow or Junkrat. There's not a lot of charm to any OW character, pretty decent designs though.

Protip: If a thing seems to "rip off" multiple different pieces of media at once, it's called a trope.

Maybe D.Va is just a generic mecha anime girl, and not a simultaneous ripoff of Asuka and 15 other mech-piloting anime girls.

But I guess the "rip-off" threshold is lowered significantly when you're a red-faced, underaged, tears-streaming-down-thy-face Valvebabby, who lives under the false impression that the decline of their own game is the result of some malicious scheme by Blizzard to bolster the success of their own product as opposed to the neglect of Valve, who's now focused on "virtual economies" and VR shit that won't be widespread for years, if ever.

Sturgeon's Law is strong in capeshit. But when they're well written the writers are well aware that being inoffensive doesn't mean they're a likable character.

in meet the heavy he talks about his gun,firing expensive bullet and demeaning the enemy team
in meet the scout the scout talks about himself and how badass he is and he steals a sandvich from a heavy
in meet the demo he talks how good he is,how rare for you to meet a guy like him and how the enemy team can try to kill him
in meet the soldier he tries to lecture some severed head about war and comes off as a wacky retard
in meet the engineer he talks about his job and practical problems
in meet the spy they try to take down some menacing spy who shags scouts mom
in meet the medic it shows how medic got his first uber
in meet the pyro its a pyro being a maniac whose actually very deluded to the point of insanity

so in overkek i watched only 4,the one with the soldier man taking down some brownies,the one where the weebs fight,the robot one and lastly the one where they fought in the museum,i can barely remember any of them

They're trying to be serious heroic characters in a game without a story to give them room for characterization. The Overwatch's characters are just exposition in a story that goes no where. They're all cardboard cut outs meant to play a role and nothing more. Its as if they wrote the scenario first and inserted characters afterwards. TF2's cast works so well because the characters are fun and loose enough to fit into any scenario and they actually have chemistry between each other, and unlike Overwatch it doesn't try to take itself obnoxiously seriously. Its a shame too because I honestly like some of Overwatch's characters like Reinhardt and Lucio, but we'll never see anything else out of them other than Manly Grandpa and Overly Positive DJ.

TF2 came from a simpler time, where videogames were not as mainstream as they are now and non-indie companies had the opportunity to get away with out-of-the-norm characters, plots and humor because the target demographic had that kind of taste. But now, videogames are played by a lot more people and things need to be kept politically correct now or else they will loose cash. That's basically it. TF2 was truly original because its target audience were people that had already seen everything from the videogame industry and sought to be surprised. Overwatch is targeted to normies. Hence why the gameplay is easier, too.

I'd say the biggest problem with overwatch characters is the actual story plot is all over the place and interactions in game are rare/minimal/nonexistant outside of one line quips.
OW characters feel just like checklists, as many people say, but it also feels bad with them because they don't have anything to flesh most of them out, their comics are all over the place and sometimes don't have anything to them besides showing off how "Cool" they are
Same with the cinematics, it feels like extended trailers, just showing off how cool they are but without any real substance for them
I feel like I'm trailing off and pulling things out my ass but at least tf2 managed to make a very nice, solid setting and character off the bat, domination lines for everyone, varied voices for different situations and I guess the best part is, their supplemenetal material ties with the game time to time, like soldier vs demo War or the sniper vs spy magezine, you can skip over/never know tracer is a carpet muncher because it doesn't affect the game or give her anything.

I'm pretty sad server browser games have been replaced with matchmaking. Finding a comfy server on CS 1.6 and TF2 felt like a second home. I still talk to the regulars on the servers long after we stopped playing TF2, but I've barely found anyone during matchmaking for any multiplayer game worth adding, and even when I do it's just for one or two games and we stop talking.

>Forty american dollars for a game with 10 times less content
less skill ceiling, worse characters, tumblr pandering, safe-space everywhere, client-side, server-side delay and shit watered down mechanics.

Not to mention how they are embarassingly trying so hard to make OW an e-sport while they can´t even get rid of the delay or have proper balancing since its fucking blizzard.

So, yeah, Whatever you say. I guess you have to justify paying that much money for a literal f2p-tier game. Surely spamming "reddit reddit reddit!" in every post you make will make OW better.

it's a valve game, you have to account for bots so take at least 20% of that number, Blizzard hasn't released stats of the player numbers yet so I can't tell, but it's definitely way higher than TF2 that's for sure, I reckon it's about 700k~900k maybe more I'm not sure, during events it could hit more than a mil

It's just another 'valve isn't the same' thing.

Their games aren't the same, their PR isn't the same, and Meet the Pyro dropping the kind of humor that made early TF2 so great hammered it in for me that the old times were behind us. Meet the Pyro was a big fucking deal to the TF2 community, remember.

Like I said, it was more like the last straw. The humor was a lot more in-your-face without really any of the drier humor or class-demonstration stuff that made the earlier meet the videos such good trailers. The whole thing was basically a meme, a few seconds of "the pyro scares his team" and then do you believe in magic taking up the entire rest of the video. By that point I'd already become sort of disillusioned with valve's business practices and lack of interesting new projects, but I figured they could still write like they used to up until that point and it was just like 'oh'

this is coming from someone who doesn't really love the new TF2 comics most others do for the same reasons, though. Too memey.

The Heavy and Soldier are holding a political debate on the current economical state of Tf2. The soldier thinks that the best way to fix its state is to donate to the economy, and that he will not accept failure in doing so. The heavy simply believes that if you collect enough money, the economy will eventually fix itself. However, something strange happens. An inter-dimensional God known as 20 had possessed the Heavy. The Soldier is greatly distressed by this. What will become of his home dimension? 20 suddenly begins to enter hysteria, due to being ecstatic from finally being able to inhabit a lesser dimension. The spy in the building is confused by these events. 20 proceeds to show the exact reason why he is dangerous and must be stopped; by demonstrating his interdimensional powers. 20 has the power to teleport objects from one parallel universe to the other, to bend the fabric of the universe itself, and he shows no reason or sympathy. The crowd, being in fear of 20, begin to try praising him as a god in hopes to be spared. The soldier decides that he needs to take matters into his own hands and remove 20 from the Heavy. The soldier is actually successful in this at first, and removes 20's head to turn him back into Heavy. However, this action ends up to be fruitless. With the help of 20's fellow interdimensional Gods, 30 and Engie, 20 manages to again possess the Heavy. He teleports the Soldier and Spy into a pocket dimension, with plans to use them as slaves. The Heavy attempts to resist his possession, but he is unable to. The Engie begins to fear 20's motives. If 20 owns the multiverse, what will become of his own home? What will happen to his family? 20 then leaves the building to wreak havoc on the world. He trips due to not being used to holding a physical form, but he soon manages to get up. While the Soldier is in the pocket dimension,

he is surprised to see that the Heavy's consciousness is inside of the very same dimension. He holds a discussion with him on his opinions of the spy, and the heavy is amused by this. 20 is taking a stroll through the wilderness, looking at this world which is just a blank canvas to him. While walking, he meets 30 again. They decide to experiment with their newfound powers over this dimension. However, something unexpected happens. The Engie, in fear of 20's reign over the multiverse, rebels against him. 20 is enraged by this, and easily sends the Engie to the pocket dimension in which the Spy, Heavy, and Soldier are residing. The Engie is now just a slave of 20, and was forced to make a cup of coffee for him. 30 found the Engie's pathetic attempt at rebelling to be amusing. Suddenly, The Engie finds inspiration. He realizes that if he doesn't use all of his power to defeat 20, he will be a slave for eternity. He can't stand for this. With the small remainder of his power, he manages to go back to the regular dimension. He then challenges 20. He sends 20 back to the pocket dimension, where the Soldier tries to convince 20 of the error of his ways. The engineer arrives to finish 20 off, but fails once again. 20 manages to kill the Engie permanently, and returns to the regular dimension. Unfortunately, he accidentally brought the soldier with him. 20, being weakened from the battle he just had with Engie, is able to be defeated once and for all by the soldier. In the process of this, 30 dies, due to his life force being linked with 20's. The world then becomes back to normal, and the Heavy gains his body back. The soldier walks away, satisfied by his accomplishments. The Soldier's home dimension is safe for another day.

I thought Meet the Pyro wasnt as bad as everyone made it out to be. I thought its contrast with the other Meet the Team videos was the point. That being said, they should have never actually added in those goggles or the cosmetics that went with it.


Now, if I was in charge of writing Meet the Pyro...I would have literally just remade Meet the Heavy.

Pyro walks up to table, sets down flmaethrower, sits. Starts speaking but we cant understand a fucking thing, mimmicky every action Heavy did in his video, cutting to b-roll at all the same moments, ending the exact same way.

All things considered, even if TF2 is "dead", it's life cycle was pretty long compared to most games, which is pretty impressive. Most companies would just put out another iteration just to keep the money train going, but seems like Valve sees that enough money is still coming from TF2 to not bother with much or they're getting enough money from other sources to not give a fuck anymore

The thing is, TF2 already had it perfect.

They had let the game design sauce simmer for a long time and they came out with these perfectly distilled character classes. It was about quality, not quantity. You had what you had and the game is designed around it. They never added another character.

Overwatch is just some asshole taking that and adding water to it.
