I've played HOTS, I stand by my statement and I'm not alone in my opinion at all.
Feels good to dish it out eh? You know, like all the Dota to League players. Now the League players can poop on all the HotS fanboys.

League is still inferior, because any skill based game chicks can play is for scrubs.

There's no question TF2 gameplay was designed for portability to consoles. You cannot throw grenades like in tfc with a controller. It simply isn't possible, so they removed them, and with them, a huge part of what made team fortress what it was. Sure, they gave some bs explanation (I don't recall what it was offhand), but make no mistake, the integrity of the developers and the gaming community suffered at the altar of higher profits the day that decision was made.
No surprise here, once again you show your ass. The removal of grenades had to do with spam, not console optimization. Trying to argue that QWTF/TFC is superior to TF2 is the height of stupidity.

Is that what you believe? It's just a coincidence that they were releasing it on consoles and that one of the core gameplay mechanics that made TFC couldn't be done on a controller.

Srs qstion: Why couldn't TFC grenades be done on console? I played it a bit but don't remember the mechanic over a basic grenade system.

Meh. Blizzard guys are growing older and having families. Reflects in their designs. I bet those guys' interests have also become more varied too. I actually think I would be just fine playing blizzard games only right now and I'm not playing a single one right now.

The point is you jump into the thread with zero research, pass judgement on the game, bounce out, come back not even knowing the genre, and then you will bounce out again.
It does not take a lot of research to figure exactly what this game is and whom they are aiming for. Also his point is pretty valid, trolling not withstanding. How do you make TF2 any more casual? My guess is OW is aimed at Valve in a DOTA2 manner, and looking to do a 'fresh' clone of it.

I loved TFC and played it a ton, but TF2 is a better game. It's just when TFC came out it was fresh and new. TF2 was better, but not nearly as fresh. OW will be in a pretty saturated market. My guess is they are banking on the name Blizzard selling it. Good bet.

I'm actually sexually aroused at the concept of Overwatch, and I play a lot of TF2 on consoles, or used to.
