Mccree is close, but Blizzard + the VA being an SJW are making him subtly bisexual and undermining his southern hospitality personality.

>>382688110
In terms of character design? TF2 characters are simplistic while Overwatch characters have more detail. There's nothing wrong with either approach, TF2 is a game based around 9 solid classes whereas Overwatch is intended to have dozens of unique heroes, it only makes sense for it to be that way.

In terms of character personality? It's not even close. You can maybe chalk it up to TF2 characters being around for a decade but at the end of the day each TF2 class has way, way more depth than any Overwatch hero. Even the borderline mute Pyro has more depth than anything Overwatch has to offer. Overwatch characters are so one-note it hurts. The worst thing is that they're all so sterile. Nobody ever swears, no one ever says anything mean. Being sterile isn't something that's limited to the characters either. There isn't even any blood in the game, Blizzard are desperately trying to be the next Pixar with Overwatch, you can tell by how quick they were to pull the Tracer victory pose at even the smallest amount of criticism.

"You russians barely put a dog into orbit, but this Moon monkey just put a man into the dirt!"

I haven't played it since like 2009 or something, but I remember every character being fairly one note. heavy was angry russian man, sniper was sterotypical sniper, soldier was drill sarge.

It feels a lot like what World of Warcraft was like in comparison to WC3. A trend we would see in all of their future games as they move away from the edgy 90's-00's themes. We'll never see shit like Half-Life anymore where a single protagonist goes against the world. Now it's all about the power of friendship.

>>
>>382689358
>Even the borderline mute Pyro has more depth than anything Overwatch has to offer
And do you know why is that?
It's because Pyro's muteness is a part of his personality that extends his character and gives him a special quirk
Contrary to just doing it because you're lazy/don't want to pay a voice actor for Bastion

>>382685045
Stupid cunt, you realize Valve is the last redpilled company left in the industry, right? Back to Overwatch.
>>
TF2 was Valve trying to push boundaries and create something unique and artistic.
Overwatch is Blizzard trying to recuperate their losses with Titan and were as safe as possible and made it as appealing as possible to every demographic to assure they get as much money back as possible.

Overwatch is not a bad game, but it's incredibly bland artistically. However, over time Valve has taken a bigger focus onto making money than retaining artistic values. Not just with TF2, but Dota 2 as well. So it's more of a change of times than devs.
>>

>>382691002
Was it? Or was it just them doing what they always do and taking a mod and making a game out of it. Valve is good at polishing but they're not exactly original.

Okey, a bit confused here, are you guys retarded or is this just summer speaking? Has /v/ actually become this underage-tier retarded or something?

Soldier is played up and is a stereotype incarnate. He is like all the other characters, a joke. This is his bio:

"Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected by every branch of the military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949."

He is an actual psychopath and a parody of the hypermasculine, macho, jingoist Americans we know from a lot of media. You cannot SERIOUSLY be so underage you don't fucking know or observed this?

I wish there were more positive male role models in media these days. Real manly men, doing man things, the man way. Show the kids that it's okay to be a big scruffy dude, and being a manly man won't make you a rapist or abuser. If anything, being a real man means standing up for those who can't defend themselves.

Oh right, it's one of THOSE threads where some boys think of themselves as above others who have one lifestyle and not the "right" one aka yours.

What we see in today's media is a much broader spectrum of characters being written. You still have your ultra-macho men in movies if that's what you like, but I for one think it's fucking boring watching Bruce Willis get shot at 20000 times.

Are you retarded? This comic was released in 2012. Do you honestly think they handed off all of the writing of female characters to female writers just because?
The point is that Pauling isn't in tune with all the others and doesn't really know how up in arms Soldier can get. It's not "explaining the joke"

They also have amazing chemistry with each other. There was this one thread a while back where anons were writing made up domination lines between TF2 Mercs and Overwatch characters, it was really had to come up with good ones for the Overwatch cast. One anon on that thread said it best:
>"Your ability to have good bants is directly proportionate to your ability to be an asshole."
The TF2 characters likeable qualities doesn't change the fact that they're all psychopaths, it just means that the writers were good enough to make psychopaths that also had likeable qualities.

Fun fact: Flawed characters are interesting characters.

Look at Daffy Duck, who is either portrayed as absolutely insane or as a greedy incompetent glory hound, or Donald Duck, who is usually portrayed as having extreme anger issues. Both are extremely popular and beloved characters BECAUSE of their flaws, not in spite of.

That's the big problem with modern Mary Sue writing. If your characters are too perfect, they're boring and inhuman.

No it wasn't. It's a class based shooter by Blizzard. Maybe if it was made by Valve and called Team Fortress 3, you'd have a point, but OW and TF2 are only related by genre. It's like saying Yoshi's Island was supposed to be the new Super Mario Bros. Zero correlation.

I don't regret buying OW a bit after launch, but I can safely say that it doesn't hold a candle to TF2. I've been playing TF2 for 6 years with 5000 hours, and TF2 just has so much more in both gameplay and general style. So much more soul was put into TF2's creation. Valve wanted something completely unique. Overwatch just feels bland compared to TF2. Boring characters, repetitive gameplay, and uninspired setting. It was fun and I certainly got $40 worth of enjoyment out of it, but I couldn't imagine going back to it in 6 years, it's just not that kind of game to me.

This, I bought it on sale. It honestly doesn't have much, the lootboxes are a pathetic way to keep people working toward something, but when you get most of the skins you want and keep getting dumbass voice lines or sprays you'll never use, you stop playing.

You're right though, OW doesn't hold a candle to TF2, I think OW's biggest draw was kids and teens who bought it for the few sexy bitches. The designs for all of em look very bland and shitty, they all look like they from some uninspired F2P game. Also the blatant pandering to be inclusive forces you to play someone ugly.

Nothing is funner then getting Uber'd, turning a corner and mowing down 2 lvl 3 engi setups while heavy is screaming at the top of his lungs.

OW feels like it had to have one of everything that was cool to a middle schooler w/o really fleshing out their characters and making them bland. 2 feuding japanese brothers, one being a cyborg ninja... really? Big german 'knight', dwarf engineer, edgelord with a skullmask and shotguns/revolvers.

OW is fun but nothing really makes you feel useful. TF2 Engi can kick ass and are major helps to the team, same with Pyros spychecking.

It's a bit hard to top TF2's characters though, let's just be completely fair. One, TF2 has had many, many years to develop them with webcomics and OW is a relatively new release.

But I agree, TF2 has a character advantage - all of the characters are very distinct and different; it was a design goal the designers put into TF2 to make each class diverse.

yes, because its a fucking FaN scout

hes not immune to fire and I never said it was fun, you are acting like I'm ignoring everything else but I'm simply saying that pyros design is unfun.

>An Engineer being virtually protecting albeit against bullets cuz he has a Short Circuit is fun?

yes actually because he doesn't have the superior wrangler, and it's also a challenge. Just like fighting airblast pyros and tripping them up.

If you give up easilly and complain about mechanics being used against you. Sure maybe.

wrangler is fucking garbage, yes you can use it to have your sentry shoot outside its maximum range, but the moment you need to repair it, it's disabled for 3 seconds which is a guaranteed sentry death

there's still a competitive jumping community and tons of dedicated jump servers, and you're dead fucking wrong if you think that nothing from jump maps can be applied to normal gameplay. a good rollout can win a game. plus, a soldier that is good at rocketjumping is the most mobile class in the entire game, which is pretty fucking good in normal gameplay.

But Wrangler DOES have a medium sized drawback with it having to be player manual controlled and its 3 seconds of being disabled.

Launch the game and just walk around some of the early/valve maps on a private server and observe. They're incredibly well made, I honestly don't understand how you think they're lifeless and boring. Overwatch just feels like someone said "yeah, take these places and put em in the future" to their map designers. Nothing original about it.

The only good thing about the wrangler is that you can sentry jump with it. The shield is irrelevant because of the disable when you inevitably have to repair it, the DPS boost is irrelevant because you need to manually aim it, and you shouldn't be putting your gun in a place that really requires you to use the wrangler for more range.

Good positioning and the rescue ranger.
Team that is slightly competent

Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to destroy because it has near 700 hp.

I know I make it sound like it's god like, but yeah of course if your team sucks the sentries going to blow up. But a good team with a good wrangler will make a sentry push into a nothing push. Its absurdly powerful, go look up people talking about it I can't do it justice.

The thing is, you're losing damage both due to dropoff from the range, and also from missing shots, making it not really that great at shooting at a big distance. It would be more effective just to put your gun in a better spot. You got me on jumping, but I don't think that slightly better sentry/teleporter placement is worth giving up a pistol or short circuit.

No, that was Valve making a multiplayer videogame.

its the 60% damage reduction anon.
You need 7 concentrated rockets to kill a wrangled sentry. that and you can resume control immediately with the wrangler.

It also allows engy to setup his sentry in the open and be able to fire on anyone whose shooting it from afar.

It's the most versatile and useful unlock. The other two are really good but wrangler is just better.

I feel like /v/ would only be satisfied if D. Va was like "hey negro why dont you sign this gum wrapper so i can sell it to my white knight brigade for drug money" or some equally edgy shit, even if it makes zero sense for said character. That's just plain childish, honestly.

I haven't even played OW, you're just acting like an elitist manchild whilst saying that a game isn't a proper game and the designers have no idea how to design a game. Well, they did design a game, and it's still a pretty popular title to play. Let's cut the bullshit; you're claiming that they're shit designers and the game is shitty.

Counterpoint: I'd argue that the quips were directly helpful in how the game was made. It fit into the silhouette theory a bit, only in the sound department. When you want to know who you're fighting, but you can't see them too well, you want some kind of sign that helps you out. When you can't rely on the easy to see silhouettes that are noticeable even under 10 years of crappy cosmetics, you can always rely on the voice lines that characters always say. I think that's a nice touch, and for a multiplayer game that's fast-paced and requires you to understand alot of vocal signals, it's pretty clever in its execution.

I'd dare say it's one of the few multiplayer games where I've never had a bad experience. Even when losing on defense because my team were a bunch of friendly hoovies and gibus engies, I can't say I didn't enjoy myself because of all the little details in the game down to the very code itself.

You're saying that the visual and audio design being made to support a better gameplay experience is bad? Do you actually think every character should use the soldier as a model?
Players immediately understand that the spy has less health than the heavy because he isn't gigantic.
The guns making different noises let you know what weapon was fired and where.

Knowing when your medic or the enemy medic has uber ready is a HUGE advantage. For team medics, this tells you that you can be more aggressive to the objective. For the enemy, it means that you either take out the medic quickly or bait the uber out. For knowing which team mates have died, think of a YER spy. This will make it extremely handy to know which team mate you should be wary of. In other cases, it makes it easier to know where the enemy is.

Yes, but after over a decade of never being knocked off of the top 10 steam games. People liked the game enough to usurp the games you're so intent on defending.

not really, quake tf soldier carried 50 rockets and had no reload, and also moved faster. tf2 soldier is slow, only carries 24 rockets, only 4 loaded at a time, and has a slow reload animation.

There are a few dedicated servers for TF2 lingering. Other than that tho, games are just being popularized to more and more people.
>>
>>382711769
So your problem is the community itself and not the voice lines?

Having to stand le wacky voicelines are a bigger problem.
The communities are just an incredibly cancerous byproduct of this.

You're an actual manchild for shitting your fucking pants over the fact that there are games made outside of your genre that don't appeal to you.

Seriously, stick to fucking Quake if you like it so much. It's you prerogative.

Because what a proper game to you is defined as something which is actually niche, and by today's standards, outdated. If you like Quake, fine, who fucking cares. You're shitting on people over their taste whilst sitting on your high horse convinced that TF2 is a shit game whilst blatantly not knowing what you're talking about and understand the real design procedure which was behind that game.

You could probably not for the life of you explain why each character has their looks and how their looks reflect on what their abilities are, because to you everything has to be the same, basic shlock arena shooter a handful of people still play today.

Not him but I say that TF2 has solid base gameplay, everything else is just icing on the cake.

Who considers a multiplayer game needing quips and wacky artstyle as something that needs to happen?
I mean look at this
>>382712423
This is all this stuff brings, autismos fighting over which has the wackiest voicelines.

Not even fanboys discuss gameplay mechanics, because there's nothing to it.
The closest i've seen is people argue how OW doesn't have rocket jumping.

If you a multiplayer videogame is incapable of standing on it's own based on gameplay alone then it's a failure.

>>382712662
No, Quake Champions is nothing but a bastardization of the franchise, giving in to the cancers that TF2 and Overwatch have forced in multiplayer videogames, not to mention that it's F2P shit.
I sincerely hope it's a massive failure.

>>382711379
Microtransactions, skins, small children, and professional esports will forever be part of CS series after CSGO. Quake is now owned by Bethesda, who is currently slaughtering it.

Old trends don't just magically return after OW and TF2 are dead. TF2 is a perversion of Quake, and OW is a perversion of TF2. A perversion of OW will likely come out before it dies. I don't like how casual things are becoming, but it's just how things will develop. If you absolutely abhor the idea, why not try to be the difference and develop your dream game?

Because the only way for a shooter to succeed nowadays is to be a copycat of what came before and give it some twist.
I'd rather off myself than making something like TF2 and Overwatch, those two games have sadly ruined the FPS genre.

>>382713089
No, it's because of the cosmetic addict garbage and because it went F2P.
>>
>>382713150
Because the thread is about character personalities. If this was a regular TF2 thread, people would be crying how the Amby/Sandman/Cleaver is getting nerfed, how soldier is Valve's poster boy and stories about some fun matches.

And that's the kind of cancer these games spawn.
Entire threads about le wacky voicelines and fighting over which game has the wackiest ones.
As I said, cancer.

anything that goes against /pol/s autistic right wing idealogys isn't manly.

>>382713420

Also you hit the bump limit. YOU were the one that kept this thread alive. Congrats.

Good riddance, and stop talking about this cancer in the future.

Alright, so why give a shit? Why not move to greener pastures and find a new hobby? You clearly won't ever enjoy video games as much as you used to, so what's the point of bitterly arguing over it?

>>382713850
Not really.
But hey, at least you all stopped talking about that cancerous garbage.

Calling out implies that they'd be phased by it in any way. They're the ones in favor of how the industry has developed, so why would they care?

They certainly do.
>>
>>382714248
Quite the contrary. A lone soldier should have an easier time against a wrangled, well placed sentry than an unwrangled one. The soldier won't damage the sentry gun faster than the engineer without the wrangler can repair. A soldier going against a wrangled could just nail the gun a few times, force the engineer to repair, then take down the engie while the sentry is stunned.

The domination lines alone are one of the reason's I prefer TF2 over Overwatch, because it has the balls to let their character's actually say shit that would put /pol/ to shame

>>382714057
Then I hope the industry keep degrading until those people are also pushed out of videogames.
Blizzard sadly no, but at least Valve has stopped making videogames.
