I have a feeling that the only real reason people compare overwatch to tf2 is the shading engine or whatever, the graphics have a sort of similar style. Gameplay wise it's like saying marvel vs capcom is a rip off of mortal kombat or some poo poo

Like people are complaining that the sg is too powerful because they don't know how to deal with it, you have to stand on the point to advance the objective or contest it, but people don't because they get caught up in deathmatching even though the character they've chosen works better in concert with other people. It's a light hearted team based class based shooter where one team pushes a train while the other tries to stop them with timed respawns, health pickups, and 'big push' mechanics that build up over time.

You're kind of right (except like KoF vs Street fighter) in that it's probably the second game in a genre of basically two. But there's a lot of reason to compare them beyond aesthetic.

Hi guys, I'm looking for a shooter with an extremely low skill ceiling that also makes me feel like a winner even when I play bad and retarded. Seen anything like that around here?

get tf2, you won't waste any money.

also you can just join any random server, and as long as you're half decent you'll win every round since there isnt a matchmaking system (even after 9 loving years - unless youre in the ~exclusive~ beta)

You seriously think there are 2 objective-based fps games out there. OK

In any event there are lots of similarities, if you are considering "being in the same genre" to not be something that can just be said and you're done with that statement, but people ignore the massive differences. They're both first person shooters with objectives. All the ways you're saying they're the same is putting them in the same basket with every other FPS out there. If you care about details you're going to find a lot more to compare.

It was a few pages back but are people really making the argument that lack of a server browser is a bad thing?

TF2 using server browser - hmm let's see all these are full, these all have crit enabled/disabled which I don't like, these have awful pings, ah here we go. Oh god dammit these are all bots, back to the list, here's another one oh dammit this one has all that bullshit premium reward stuff, etc etc where's that blacklist I got on reddit or whatever

Overwatch - I clicked play and am now playing the game. Everything is fine and how I'd expect it.

Blizzard taking action against stolen assets is one thing, but it may also be trying to clear up Overwatch's image as the "horny as hell Team Fortress 2" right now. Considering I Googled "Widowmaker Overwatch" and saw her blue rear end in a top hat within the top thirty results, that might be a good idea.

the cool part of overwatch vs. Tf2 is that you can make it clear what your team could use

"We could use a demoman to help clear that corner, no, not a shield, not an eyecalibur, not a banner, please dont demoknight, pls, mercy"

or

"hey can someone go sniper to take care of that pocket medic-heavy, wait no not the loving bow aaaaaargh"

vs.

"Hey we need someone to keep reinhardt from running up and hammering us, could someone go Mei"

countdown until every overwatch class has garbage alt gimmicks that let every player embrace their trashman personas

yeah this situation that never happens in an online game (someone switches classes because you tell them to) happens much more smoothly in overwatch that's a good point
