they're both 2d games where you hit shit so they're comparable right

Div:OS1 feels so much more archaic and uninteresting, I completely forgot. Cyseal was a mistake.

Did the EE change anything at all?

Enhanced Edition is a lot smoother and polished and has full voiceovers for the conversations. Also adds more classes, dual-wielding, quests, companion banter etc.

It's just overall better

The difference is that TF2 and Overwatch are both first person, team based, class based, ability based, push the payload, ctf, tdm shooters.

i'm obviously exaggerating but it's painfully clear to anyone with even a little experience in both games that there's no similarity beyond the surface level observations you made

overwatch is like a moba in disguise, it's all about counterpicks and waiting for ultimates to go off

XSI · Post by **XSI** » Sat Oct 21, 2017 7:43 pm #349306

Pretty much that

TF2 is a fun game where you have a team and objectives to do while shooting the other guys, doing whatever and you'll still be contributing to things. With enough room for a skilled player to always influence the game.
Overwatch is a game where you've got cooldowns to click for your kills and the team will yell at you if you don't do what they believe is right, and you will frequently just die for no reason other than because someone else pressed q or your team is suiciding into the other team while pretending they're being useful

Did I mention I believe mobas are a scourge on gaming and there is nothing positive about any of them?

a little harsh but yeah overwatch is SUPER focused on abilities and not aim/gamesense

Yes it is. You're talking about counterpicking, but if you played tf2 you would know it also has counterpicking. Except it's less pronounced because there's only 9 non-unique characters, instead however many Overwatch has these days.

Yes, Overwatch has high-impact abilities, while tf2 has low-impact abilites tied to items, but that's just tweaking of numbers.

There's no radical difference in design.

The best part about the old one is you could color change your blocks to the same color as the terrain

Meaning tunnel entrances being filled back in wasn't painfully obvious.

Then there's the stupid class system.

I wish every game ever made would stop making shotguns garbage

I hate grabbing a shotgun and having the damage falloff be so ridiculous as to make them useless outside of 5 feet

This does not mean overcorrect, though
I used to love slug-sniping people in bad company 2, there was no shell drop, just travel time
And the crosshairs were so pixel perfect you could outsnipe snipers if their dumb ass stayed still

CosmicScientist wrote:I miss ace of spades having trench warfare. All I could find recently were premade maps, with some you couldn't dig into because they were at sea level and the rest being the babylon CTF which sucks because only 2-3 players on your team cares about building at any one time whilst 10 enemies endlessly assault you and break your bridge or tower, leaving the game in a stalemate.

Then there's the weird zombie mode.

hallway ctf has the purest trench warfare if you climb up top

you can only build one block before hitting the height cap, so making foxholes and trenches is the only chance you have

you should still be able to do this, the old client still exists - you might have downloaded openspades which is its own thing

i really REALLY want to get some people together, host a server/join an empty one on randomgen, and play, because FUCK, randomgen ace of spades is amazing

it's the most atmospheric multiplayer game i've ever played

On a total cost to cutscene ratio FFXIV is more efficient than a cinema

I've already missed out on two dungeons because the intro cutscene and boss cutscene was longer than the time it took the group to complete the dungeon

There was a ~5 year gap since I last played Classic, but the changes feel really subtle.

The voice acting actually helps with the amount of dialogue there is, the loredumps are more naturally spread out, and the rewritten story really does help make the game a lot more bearable.

With the exception of Cyseal. That place is always so boring.
