I was psyched to play TF2 since release and I finally got my hands on it on PC. After two hours I'm uninstalling the game. Just doesn't click with me, I think my days of enjoying that kind of chaos are over. Hopped on Overwatch and went on a three game win streak and had much more fun.

Understandable but I would just say that there are a lot of systems at work in TF2 and you are going to die a lot while trying to figure them out compared to something like Overwatch, especially since matchmaking is non-existent. It took me significantly more than two hours to feel like I knew what was going on, probably more like 5-6.

Playing the campaign helps immensely since they introduce things to you slowly, but obviously the trial doesn't have that as an option.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

My god Mordheim's opening is long, wordy, and hilariously generic. The narrator's having such fun with it that I can't help but be charmed. :allears:

e: Whoa, the tutorial letting you play as a bunch of rats was pleasantly charming. I mean, they're nasty fighting rats up against cultists and demons, but! It's nice to be rats for once!

second, actually fake e: I'm shocked at how harsh the RPS review is for this game. That dude hates this game and doesn't want you to play it, and I'm shaking my head as I found myself pleasantly engaged in just the tutorial, and I'm going to boot it back up in a mo, see how the full campaign goes.

To be honest kojima probably doesn't even know what the game is at this point

It's going to be weird when the game turns out to be a 2D platformer.

Styx I think I agree with something you posted in the past few days. You were critical of TF2 because of the sound effects, among other things. I have to agree with you, the SE addressed not what they could be. Especially compared to Overwatch and Battlefield.

I'm sure I didn't play TF2 enough to get good at it, but they problem is I don't care to. I've played more shooters than I can remember at this point. I'm lumping TF2 in the CoD-like arena, because that's what it feels like to me and it's not what I'm looking for in a shooter anymore. If it was there game would be great. There's nothing technical except they sound for me to be critical of - if you like TF2 I'm jealous you enjoy it because I thought I was going to fall in love with it.

The playstation experience conference thing is today (in 3 hours I think) in case anyone forgot. Last year they showed FFVII remake gameplay/Nioh/Ni no Kuni 2/Yakuza 5 + 0/vr games so maybe there'll be some cool stuff

Apparently Marvel vs Capcom 4 will be there but idk what else. They'll probably show Horizon Zero Dawn/Detroit/that Death Stranding trailer again. Crash Bandicoot???

Everything that's happened since they introduced hats and microtransactions has completely ruined TF2. And Overwatch is simply a much better version of the game in every way, so there's no reason to bother trying to get into it. Still, before Valve turned it to poo poo it was actually a pretty fun game.

I appreciate you coming to the defense of old Team Fortress 2 cause I played like 900 hours of that and I suspect that is the reason I've fallen head over heels in love with Overwatch. Titan Fall 2 is a game in a genre I once enjoyed but no longer enjoy.

I listened to the first five and thought, "Man I'm pretty sure these are all from Undertale."

Then I scrolled down the list of answers, listened to the songs from games that I've actually played (maybe 20% of them) and only recognized about a quarter of those, so.

Final result: 20 correctly identified songs. 11 unindentified songs from games I actually played.

Calling bullshit on: the FF7 one for being an FF5 song, the Mortal Kombat one for being from the genesis version, which was never played by a human being.

I also confused the ghost trick song with this one.

So I get a passing grade, at least, if we exclude the ones it was literally impossible for me to get due to not having played the games.
