Can we all agree TF2 had better writing? There were a couple of voice clips in TF2 that made me laugh, a lot of the characters had personality, the black humor was mostly well executed, while in Overwatch almost all characters are terribly written and even obnoxious, especially Tracer.

CS is absurdly simple. The economy is flowchart, if you're playing at a high level you use only a small percentage of available weapons, the gameplay is stodgy because you run into five or so choke points on two routes so you learn what to do at each one,and at some point it's just a twitch shooter where you try to jump past a corner and get a head shot before somebody head shots you. The games are usually two minutes long and they almost never have remarkable conclusions.
>CS is hardcore, you wiggle around the mouse to compensate for bullet patterns!
This is brain dead muscle memory shit that requires no map familiarity at all.

CS is the most dumbed down shooter out there. It's so popular because it's so easily grasped by morons.

Some of your points are valid, but to say CS is absurdly simple compared to FUCKING OVERWATCH is ludicrous.

Please, get help.
>>
>>337814645
Competitive TF2 is much, much more complicated unless you're playing medic. In competitive TF2 you need to be excellent at rocket and sticky jumping wherever possible on the map, somebody has to calculate the other team's ubercharge (this is usually the medic), the scouts need to watch the flanks, pursue wounded enemies, and harass when necessary, you need to be able to hit people with excellent reflexes with projectile weapons, and the entire team needs to work together cohesively. There are also a lot of situations where teams make risky swaps to other classes which can further complicate everything.

CS is childish in comparison.

It's hard to say how complex Overwatch will become at a competitive level. A lot of classes don't require very much skill on pubs now, sure.

No. TF2 has its share of bad lines as does just about anything with voice acting. But across the board it's leagues above Overwatch. TF2 has some genuinely funny back and forths. It's sad when Overwatch's best voiced lines is from the fucking robot. Everything else is just so generic. TF2 played up cliches and ran with it. Overwatch just fell flat on its face.

Good voice lines from TF2:
"Aren't so smart with your brains against the wall, are you?"
"I am a robot. I have come to Earth to steal American jobs"
"Go back to Calgary you cow-herding Canadian!"
"Scotland is not a real country. You are an Englishman in a dress."
Generally, the characters have a lot of personality and they have great voice work, Scout especially.

you mean that thing that only a autist would play?
>>
>>337827638
That's wrong. As per Blizzard's casting choices, every voice actor for the english version of Overwatch is also a fluent/native speaker of the language used by the character they play.

The one character who they had recast because she didn't actually speak German was Mercy. Her new VA is native German, sounds way better, authentic.
>>
>>337828397
Obviously TF2 characters are mostly stereotypes. They still have a lot of personality and the writers come up with clever things for them to say and natural interactions between them.

It's honestly better that the characters don't have complicated motivations or backstories, it's a bunch of mercenaries shooting at each other.
>>
>>337828556
>Her new VA is native German, sounds way better, authentic.
except that she is supposed to be from switzerland, and the lack of accent really triggers me as a german playing the english version.

TF2, despite also being sold separately. wasn't treated to the market as a game on its own. It came bundled with Portal and HL2E2 and previous releases for 50$.
This game cannot hope to match that sort of value and it doesn't do any favors by BEING so lacking in content.

I think Overwatch is shallow to the point where even Call of Duty might involve more skill than this.
>>
As of right now the Overwatch characters have very limited dialogue. It won't be long before everyone gets tired of hearing IVE GOT YOU IN MY SIDES and HEROES NEVER DIET and FIRE IN THE WHORE over and over again every single match.
>>
I think the problem is Overwatch looks stylized but presents all this serious stuff in the Animated Shorts.

Many of the in-game characters are goofy and fun, and that presents a huge disconnect.
They need to pick a mood and stick to it.
>>
TF2 had better writing, but it also had violence. It's clear Overwatch was designed for a bigger demographic, which makes sense seeing that Blizzard blew a fuck-ton of money on Titan and need to make back as much money as possible.

Overwatch is just really safe, like G.I. JOE or something.

No, the only part of your post that could be considered subjective is subjective.

I'm fine with the way they are doing the story but perhaps the writing could use a change in tone or be improved in general. I'm fine with the narrative being something of a tertiary element to the more primary elements of the game like the gameplay.

But there's no context behind any of this.
Even Call of Duty contextualizes its matches. Fucking COD.
TF2 was simple and didn't bother to focus as much as Overwatch clearly has on a supposed plot. That's the genius of it.
The best way to enjoy Overwatch's world is by literally not focusing or even bothering with the game itself. That's a problem if there ever was one.

The blast radius for that shit is huge, to the point where you cannot get away from it unless you get behind cover.

Annoying shit in Overwatch:
1) Tanks- it minimizes the player when there are massive bullet sponges that you cannot realistically kill quickly. Teams slow down and coagulate, you can't rape a pub like you can in TF2.
2) Insurmountable counters- see above. These were also in TF2.
3) A ton of characters seriously slow your movement
4) Waifus- I don't give a shit about the character models, but I'm considering filtering every name of a female OW character along with shit like "luv" and "cavalry"

You're supposed to gain it from playing the game. The characters all have lines reveal character relationships and attitudes. The core of the story is also revealed through the dialog. For whatever reason you seem to think it's fact that the story is indeed the best way to enjoy the game. Personally I just enjoy playing it.

You can have your movement skill come off of cooldown before that thing goes off, and any cover the size of your hitbox is enough to shield you from the blast. The super obvious indicators give you more than enough warning to escape as well. D.va's ult is only good for getting people to move away from it, it doesn't actually kill people unless they are extremely preoccupied.

That you have to unlock. Don't forget this important bit.
Quips do not amount to world building or character development.

The best way to experience the world is to spend time NOT PLAYING IT.

In a 12 v 12 game, counters are fine because it's natural that one counter will show up to kill the other counter. In 6 v 6, it's basically who ever got the right class first or the class with the least counters on it.

OW has been praised by plenty of critics and e-celebs for the beta alone while Battlefront has been shitted on for missing content, and received mixed reviews overall.
In the end, the only reason Battlefront had such huge sales was due to marketing, and the fact that it's Star Wars (also marketing).
>The only difference is OW tries to penis pander as hard as possible so when you see a thread asking what Mei's butthole tastes like, you assume you're seeing another customer when in reality you're just seeing a guy waiting for the next round of porn.
What the fuck does this even mean? Ignoring the fact that they are two totally different games? You're legitimately an idiot if you believe that waifus are the reason behind OW's hype and that most of the sales are from people looking to rub one out. There's plenty of free SFM porn for that.
