They did not call it Borderlands Heroes, and with images like the one in the OP, people assumed it was another Asian MMO, DOTA Clone ro what not before actually watching the gameplay. The game itself is very uninspired.

At least it has more players than Mean Greens, and Killing Floor 2.

That's the most disappointing thing about it. Haven't even played Battleborn, but Overwatch doesn't have ANY CONTENT.

It tried to be an updated TF2 but there's no reason to play it. TF2 has more content and better gameplay. I can't understand the overdrones. The game got boring during the beta, I can't see getting more than 20 hours out of it before being done for good.

I payed $20 for TF2 back in the day, put close to 1k hours into it and I still love it to this day, but the game is literally dead. I went back and tried it a few weeks ago and it's a shadow of its former self, filled with a bunch of retarded weapon designs other assorted p2w.

Overwatch isn't winning any awards for innovation, but it is really fun. It feels a lot like TF2 did, before it became a hat simulator.

TF2 is dead, you can either move on, like I and a lot of others did, or you can stay salty and shitpost on /v/ about your sour grapes, its completely up to you.

If you're having fun with OW and you're tied of TF2 - that's fine. I just find it surprising.

TF2 isn't dead though, no matter how much you scream about hats. There's still more gamemodes, maps, and generally just a LOT more content.

Overwatch doesn't have that. Not at launch and likely not ever. No custom servers and community maps will see to that. The maps are boring and blend together and the, what, 3 gamemodes OW has? get incredibly boring after just a few matches. Glad they had the open beta so I could see just how empty the game really was. Maybe in a few years it'll be worth it. Probably not though.

I have like 1.8k hours in tf2. It was a blast, but I slowly stopped playing it over time because it started dying.

I kept going when items came out
I kept going when hats happened
I kept going when it went f2p
But then all those new things started going more towards being silly like conga lines and the cosmetics got more and more ridiculous. People started jerking off over their kill streak weapons and stopped actually playing the objective turning every game into tdm. Everyone who played heavy just fed the enemies sandwiches and then started yelling "DON'T KILL ME I'M FRIENDLY" when I just killed them every time

So I stopped, overwatch fills that need for an objective based,class based, shooter except people actually play the objective and don't sit around in spawn saying that they're selling an unusual tower of hats for $400. They actually play the game

Clearly you were playing on some horrible servers, but okay. Overwatch still doesn't have enough to do in it to justify the price point. There's no reason not to wait until it's something reasonable, like 20 bucks, and that's only if you've been playing REALLY bad TF2 servers and that burned you out.

Why are you and every tf2 player so defensive about this?

I've played tf2 longer than you have, and I can very nearly guarantee that. I love this game, but it's grown stale over time and valve have been treating it like complete shit for years now, and I'm pretty fed up.

Overwatch is an extremely well made game with plenty of content for those who actually enjoy the spirit of competition and don't need hats or botched meme game modes and horribly balanced community maps to have fun. Get real, dude.

Also, people who act like TF2 has more variety than Overwatch just because there's an overabundance of retarded unbalanced items that most people don't even use is pretty hilarious.

It's the TF2 players who are defensive? Seems more like OW fans needing to justify their recent purchase.

Nah.

>Overwatch is an extremely well made game with plenty of content

Point me to the content. The 3 game modes? The 10 maps that all feel the same after playing them more than 2 times? Or is it the plethora of characters? Sorry, you can have 50 characters but when they all fit into similar roles as the 9 in TF2 - what's the point?

It's pretty sad dude.

>Nah.

When did you start playing? Experience in comp? Hit me, senpai.

>Point me to the content.

Four game modes and twelve maps at launch (which is plenty, TF2's oversaturation of game modes is fucking retarded) with more confirmed to be on the way, 21 heroes with unique playstyles, an actual working ranked mode (coming Soon™) vs tf2's abortion of a matchmaking mode that has left even comp players totally disillusioned.

TF2 has a lot of content, sure. But so much of it is complete shit. Too many stupid hats and particle effects cluttering the visual design, too many useless game modes (who even plays the soccer ball game more or mann mode?), too many shit maps that nobody plays, and other excess trash that nobody cares about has left the game optimised like complete shit and cluttered to hell. It's possible to have too much content. TF2 has too much content. It's unfocused as fuck.

Also, why do people like you compare Overwatch to what TF2 has become over 9 years? See >>341896461

Honestly I looked up gameplay out of sheer curiosity and it looks pretty fun, kind of a weaker MOBA with FPS perspective/gameplay. Might be worth picking up on sale.

Also for the six-armed bastard whatever his name is one of the skills that made him leave a trail of flame or something like that was named Fire Walk With Me which I thought was great.

Yeah why would they even invite that comparison

Other than being FPS games with classes in them the two games are nothing alike and for some reason now everyone thinks they're in direct competition

>>341896651
>Also, why do people like you compare Overwatch to what TF2 has become over 9 years?
Yeah I would already say Overwatch is the better game at this point because for all its problems it's not even close to the messy oversaturated clusterfuck that is TF2, but if you really want to compare them how about you think back to what TF2 was like a month after it was released?

Also never forget Valve sat with their thumbs up their asses putting in new hats and stupid weapons (for a while they were good then they just became needlessly convoluted and added absolutely nothing of value to the game) and then nine years later, when they finally had some direct competition, is when they said to themselves "hey you know maybe instead of just sticking with the same server browser literally straight out of 2004 we should actually implement the ranking and matchmaking mode people have been asking for for almost a decade"

Honestly, It just lost the marketing battle to Overwatch. They're the same 'kind' of game and going after the same demographics- not only does Overwatch just *look* a thousand times better than Battleborn, Blizzard is known for running solid marketing campaigns and having massive and insanely loyal fans.

Overwatch was destined to succeed as soon as it had Blizzard's logo on it.

Battleborn was doomed to failure as soon as it was going to be released at the same time as Overwatch.

versus

Explain to me how the OW characters are any more bland than the TF2 characters

I agree.

BB has the bad luck of being released* near Blizzard's product. That, and Blizzdrone in full force shitting on it unfortunately took its toll on the game.

/v/ claims to hate Activision-Blizzard but just throw a bunch of waifus and they'll go drooling like dogs. SAD

* more like Blizzard sabotaged the game by moving their own beta and release dates

Overwatch was better. It's not a meme if it's legitimately the reason. Also there wasn't much for class diversity. There was one healer that couldn't die, and every melee character was just a mashing contest.

They're a bunch of retarded SJWs at Gearbox. They would NEVER try to promote their game with waifus, even though that's exactly what they should've done.

Never go the "cool" route if your game has qts, ALWAYS put the qts on the front.
>>
>>341886256

The game itself is just mediocre, for one thing, and mediocrity doesn't cut it when you're an online MP game of a genre as oversaturated as MOBAs. Gearbox's reputation and the art design didn't help either, of course.

But I would say that launching in the same month as Overwatch was the thing that took it from "mediocre game that sold like shit" to "the autopsy of this game will educate the rest of the industry on how not to make/launch a game for years to come."

I recently gave TPS another chance, had to quit 5 hours in because I can't stand it anymore.
Gameplay was okay and I was looking forward to see how it developed on later levels but I can't, seriously, I just can't.

Like one or two years ago I remember Randy on E3 shilling Battlebort, his whole reasoning behind the concept was "well it's like BORDERLANDS but instead of grinding for days you just grind for minutes to become awesome!" or something like that.
Yeah Pitchfucker, I play a loot-centric RPG-like game to feel awesome in minutes, these fucking guys Jesus Christ.

So it's

>Heavy who crawls forward with a minigun
>medic who pops overcharge and has some self protection with needles and a bonesaw
>Pyro ambusher who holds w+m1 if someone gets close to him

All the really fun things, or the variety of things, you could do with tf2 were done through items or later updates.

Some people hate items, but the earlier stuff really gave the game some variety.

Gearbox writes everything around memes, you people should know this by now. But they try to allude to the fact that they're aware that they're memes, making them even worse than if they just worked with memes alone.

Basically, they write a meme, bring attention to the meme, then say "haha, get it, meme!"

They have no originality.


I don't even like OW but from what I've played all the characters don't spout memes or even say shit that is glaringly "oh so witty"

It tanked because Blizzard shilled their game to all hell, and Gearbox could not compete in the ad campaign because they are many times smaller.

It's a shame, because it honestly seems to have more lasting value, provided GB keeps tweaking and updating. That said, they shouldn't have tried to compete directly with OW. They should have just pushed back the release date to the end of this year and spent the time to work out the kinks.

Bullet spongy shit, awful melee, it legitimately was REALLY hard to see what the fuck was going on in the middle of the action, grinding to unlock characters, grinding to LEVEL UP characters, really long missions with no checkpoints combined with bad matchmaking, moba shit is not everyone's cup.

The worst part was still the writing though. I'm sure you can find some mission walkthrough videos and enjoy minute after minute of deadpan but kind of sassy robot guy calling you a douche, a puke, a clown and how much he wants to kill you.

It's sad when a near 10 year old game out classes one that just came out from a huge company.

It's even more sad when said company doesn't need to pay advertisers because their delusional fanbase will do it FOR FREE.

It'd either that or some insane buyers remose setting in because they've played more than 10 hours and are out of content. Should have played the beta! That's when I learned my lesson.

It's far from my "main" game but it's fun to have something I can hop on for an hour, get a loot box and quit

It's a bummer. It's really a fun game, but Gearbox killed it like they kill everything. I wonder how it would be in the hands of somebody a little better.

Most of the characters are pretty fun to unique. Good voice dialog, and good designs apart from a few. I dig the lore challenges that reward you with backstory. There are a lot of nice, loving touches.

I sometimes feel like 60 percent of the dev cycle, Gearbox poked their head into the studio team and said "Yeah it's good, but we could really just fuck it up a bit more don't you think? Wouldn't be a gearbox game otherwise!"
