imo unless you're serious about it, and just want a taste or what ue4 can do blueprints would get you going faster than learning the c++ boilerplate

says someone who has never tried to code ue4

looking at the unity->ue4 docs, ue4's C++ naming conventions are gross Windows C++ Programmer ickiness. your custom class that inherits Actor? name it starting with A, like ASomeGameObject. and they do that godawful prefixing of bool variables with "b", like bIsPlayerDead

but still, way more powerful that Unity, you don't need to lug around Mono on non-Windows platforms, and you can do the basic poo poo in C++ and then use BluePrint for instance-specific customizations.

edit: here goes
