I've actually played Battleborn and literally everything about that game and its characters is lovely if you're not into memes and god awful try hard gearbox writing. The Overwatch characters aren't fleshed out or well rounded but at least they don't shout "feminism is awesome!!" when they get a kill.

Papercut posted:Lucio and Rein are really fun to play though, so that's cool. It is annoying that there are certain characters I never get to try because someone always picks them and for team comp I feel like I should go with someone more useful. Reinhardt can be fun enough as you can pull off some good plays with him, but Lucio fell into the spot as one of the most boring healing characters I've ever played in an online shooter once I realized that all he can do is dish out auras and knock people back. I've heard his gun was more powerful before, and you might have been able to pull off some impressive stuff with him back then, but as it is, you just run around as an aura bot and occasionally push people off ledges or drop the beat. Shame he is so effective.

The impression I got from Battleborn is that it's a much more literal implementation of the MOBA gamestyle to an FPS. As far as I can understand, everything in the MOBA genre is basically artifacts from how RTS' and Hack n' Slash genres work and I don't find that enjoyable. I mean if mowing down tons of idiot useless AI people is your idea of fun, or to LEVEL UP! and unlock extra abilities on your character, that's fine I guess, but I think Overwatch had the right idea to keep things focused on how the battle would just carry out between two teams and their objectives.

I found out Symmetra is a great counter to Roadhog. Just avoid his hook then run around him while keeping the beam connected and he goes down quick. Where to place Symmetra's turrets is a fun little side game. Sneaky little crevices hiding lots of turrets, the enemy coming in and not knowing what the gently caress is damaging them. So fun.

i unironically like attacking anubis point b there's so many little spots in that windy bottom route where you can jump up to the top route and surprise people, and since everyone's shoved in a single room, someone able to be a distraction (or ults that flush people out like d.va's) is way more powerful than in a normal game. been plenty of times that point has been broken by little more than 2-3 people hitting Q in sequence with a bit of mopup ~the power of teamwork~

Battleborn is to Smite what Overwatch is to TF2. They are completely different gameplay wise, and there is really no point trying to compare them.

Overwatch is only comparable to MOBAs if your only experience with them is someone vaguely describing League to you.

mormonpartyboat posted:i unironically like attacking anubis point b Defenses can be easy to break if the other team has even the slightest bit of coordination around ultimates and can use them intelligently. Not even the most well-entrenched team is going to survive a Gravity Bomb + Death Blossom + Flying Dragon or whatever other combination of ridiculous teamkill ults your party has. It's just that most people JUST CAN'T WAIT to make dat highlight reel and will trickle in one at a time when you need to be patient and just hang in there until your meter is full and hopefully bait the bad guys into blowing their own ults.

Asimo posted:Eh, not that weird. They're both visually-diistinct, character-driven games in vaguely similar genres that released head to head, except one looks like a cheap unlicensed knockoff of the other. Also one got absolutely stomped in sales compared to the other. Doesn't really matter much that Battleborn plays differently or may or may not be good on its own merits, it's just fun to point and laugh at an also-ran because we are horrible people.

Overwatch is much more comparable to a fighting game in terms of how it treats the separation between gameplay and story than it is to World of Warcraft or dotalikes or something. The lore and stuff is there to give color to the characters and stages, but it (rightfully) has zero impact on actual gameplay. nerve posted:Everything you said is true and I love playing overwatch and watching competitive overwatch and I imagine I'll be playing the game for a long time. In addition to that, their comics and shorts have pretty bad writing. The stuff they've put out have had varying levels of quality to them, and I didn't like the Symmetra comic much at all and I think they're mishandling Torbjörn, but I think it's silly to wholesale dismiss the output as Bad Writing like some hypercynical goons are doing. Yes, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 were embarrassingly bad, but this isn't Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3. Put some thought in your evaluation.

I know this is from a couple of pages back, but to me the lore goes out the window as soon as you have multiple of the same character on the same team or fighting against each other on separate teams. The goofy results of this are a game I got stomped in where a team of 5 Roadhogs and 1 Lucio capped both points on Volskaya in less than 2 minutes.

Actually now that I think about it, in any of the voice quips does anyone actually talk about Pharah proper, or does everyone just talk about her friggin mom? Overshadowed by a character that isn't even in the game

its gonna be cool when everyone chooses a side over the whole omnic thing and then theres going to be a ~huge civil war~ and then right after the battle everyones grumpy and some people get new skins and junk for story purposes and then when the chips are down and no ones got a purpose and everyones arguing within their faction it turns out the aliens and the gorillas are fighting and new alliances are formed thus giving a justification for everyone to fight each other over stupid garbage

What I miss most coming from TF2 is custom maps. Sometimes I just want to deathmatch on a low gravity map that is nothing more than a spinning cube of Half Life 2 textures.
