But Battlefield hasn't been good since 2...
Battlefield had a terrible launch but now its legit better than 2. DICE LA > DICE.
but le origin is le evil, all he wants is my money!! activision blizzard is my friend tho, he's cool
Her butt is too big
I meant to say battlefield 4. Fuck me.
Overwatch isn't good either
The difference is Battlefield doesn't have animated girls with big butts to please all the teenagers here.
When Origin launched it seemed like a greedy cash grab and its store and services were shitty as fuck. After years of development, the store has more content, EA has great support, Origin chat has groups and voice chat. People should be upset with Blizzard, but Overwatch still provides in-game voice chat chat, something Battlefield doesn't doesn't do.
>something Battlefield doesn't doesn't do
wat
Just give me Battlefield 2143 already. I want my pod surfing, my turrets, my small forcefields, my rocket launcher and shotgun attachments to the Boar, my Bianchi and Ganz, the squad leader drones and drop pod beacons, and my MOBILE Titans.
overwatch has waifus
battlefield no waifus
everyone already has battle.net because of hearthstone so its not a problem
I disagree
battlefield was an established series with certain expectations. that didn't apply to overwatch.
Futuristic tacticool shit is becoming more popular so there's a chance that we could see it.
I want a Bettlefield 2143 too.
Get this filth out of here before I report you to Blizzard.
What a shit taste nigger. How are those 20 tick rate servers feeling?
Because for some reason there are still blkzzdrones after all these years of bad decisions
Please don't, we all know that if a sequel came out nowadays it would be simplified garbage.
>smelly widow butt.png
>Implying Tracer's butt isn't twice as smelly
Futuristic games are so fucking bad

Battle.net doesn't scan your computer for pirated games.
Don't forget the lowest possible learning curve for those TF2 hardcore neckbreathers.
m.youtube.com
It would be crap trust me, it's just nostalgia for old non cucked DICE making you think otherwise.
>Origin
Nigga really? I know you need to try hard to shitpost anyway possible but REALLY?
EA is a fucking blight upon the gaming industry. I'm no Blizzdrone(I hate every Blizzard game) and even even I can see its stupid to compare a service run by EA to a service run by Blizzard.
Overwatch is nothing like TF2.
The only similarities is that there are classes and you shoot people.
ACTIVISION Blizzard. It's just as bad,
Battlefield wasn't an SFM goldmine
I hate origin because it wants to desperately replace steam, and is a resource hog.
Battle.net is literally just a launcher.
Oh yeah also it has control points and payload
Characters are tied together in factions and have a strong lore
It's a team based fps game
like tf2
>Activision
>As bad as EA
no
not even close
It has the same gametypes pace and play style as TF2. Fuck even the maps are the same layouts. It's TF2 Blizz edition. Uninstalled the beta after 2 days of shit I've already seen before.
Yeah, possibly worse.
A real Battlefield 2143 would be great. But let's be real, if it did come out it would be more like that piece of shit Battlefront.
>previous EA games were available on steam
>previous Blizzard games never were on steam
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. let's think about this together really hard. I'm not sure I quiet understand...
Origin has a clause in its EULA that says they can do whatever they want with any information they acquire on your computer and that they can scan your entire computer.
Yea, I really trust someone that puts something like that in there.
The only similarities are that it's a team-based first person shooter where you select your class from a wide selection grouped into categories such as offense, support, etc., and shoot people to aid in your greater goal of capturing points by standing on them or pushing objects across maps by standing near them.
What does a woman's ass smell like?
Bnet is nice though.
You click it. You see your games. You click play. Done.
Origin is like
>POP UPS
>ADVERTISING
>LOOK AT THESE SHITTY GAMES! BUY THEM!
>JUST TRY TO A FIND A WAY TO GET TO THE GAME YOU PURCHASED NIGGER HAHAHAHA
Dig in your ass a little bit and then smell your hand. There you go.
Battle.net gets more of a pass because for one, it's old. If you're around long enough, people tolerate you.
Also it's slim, fast and has probably more of a non-money-making reason to exist than Origin.
Cheetos and poop. No wonder the other chick looks so content.
The original problems with origin was it was invasive and apparently scanned your computer for shit or something around those lines.
I agree. I wouldn't necessarily call bnet "nice" but it's way better than Origin.
Opening Origin takes a solid minute but bnet usually launches in a few seconds and goes straight to the game you want. None of that bullshit TODAYS GAME OF THE WEEK PLS USE OUR PLATFORM
Tons of games have control point modes, yes I've only seen payload in TF2 before Overwatch but it's only a game mode, games always use modes from other games that they know work well.
Neither game has strong lore, you goof, TF2 lore is tongue-in-cheek goofy action scenes filled with stereo types and Overwatch is made of semi-serious pg-13 movie cliches.
They have similarities, but mechanically they are beyond different. TF2 is a fast paced twitch shooter based in its heavily in its roots of Quake. Relying on reaction time, precision, and movement within the game. Overwatch basically has no depth to the movement, a lot of weapons have huge cones of fire and autoaim (the beam weapons not the ults) requiring little precision, and it's based more in timing and team coordination, where as TF2 is more about team composition.
>double standard
>origin
>battle.net
>uplay
>glyph

>and on and on and on
Its not a double standard, every comapny makes their own crap today - though origin did look around your PC a lot more than required for what was literally just the "EA Download manager" renamed and repurposed.
>every comapny makes their own crap today
Except Battle.net is 20 years old and was the first incorporated community interface thingy. That's part of the reason why people don't bitch about it as opposed to something like Origin.
The idea behind Origin was "Hey Steam is making a lot of money, let's copy that". The idea behing battle.net was "hey it would be really cool if you had a community interface inside the game".
dice would fuck it up
For the record, battle.net is old, but it was never this.
Its actually very sad, when I thought "battle.net" I thought a network system for muh vidya thats actually pretty damn solid.
Now battle.net is an online shop installed on my computer and all I get is matchmaking.
I installed Epic's launcher because it's just a launcher.
Battle.Net too.
I will never install Origin because it's a storefront that scans my computer.
It is a network for ur vidya. It's just, with the times changing, it's just not that special anymore. Steam is more intrusive, but functionally it does everything battle.net does and more.
But chatting and matchmaking and shit inside the game on the fly was a big deal back then. It's not really appreciated nowadays because it's just expected with improved technology and convenienve.
>>>/ireland/
...
I don't mind battle.net. it's always been around and is really unobtrusive. Fucking origin though
>Requiring restarts for updates
>Slowing down my internet sending god knows what to eat
>Using up fucking 3gbs of ram
Fuck that shit. I pay for my games but I don't use origin. It's nice they give you the option to run games without it now.
"Battle.net" invokes good feelings in me from Wc3 days so I don't mind it
Bnet just has the ads on every page though
Right, the irony really is that what battle.net was "advertising" then didn't really become a staple or anything, most every game is literally just a fucking matchmaker, shitting out "matches" of randoms like a conveyor belt with a 3 minute break between them...
???
Yeah, it really helps them play on muh nostalgia
The only thing bnet has on each page is information about the game you're in
>Now battle.net is an online shop
Just because it has a shop function on it doesn't mean it's the main function. All they did was let you buy their existing games from their launcher.
Pray tell me what is its main function then if not selling and launching these games?
Because "social functions" are now about getting me the latest marketing updates - and a minor chat functionality somewhere.
What are those marketing updated you're talking about? I've never gotten any mail or popup from bnet about anything like that.
>>Pray tell me what is its main function then if not selling and launching these games?
I said it was primarily a launcher, it makes sense for them to streamline it more to let you buy things in it.
Would you rather it ONLY be a launcher and you HAVE to go elsewhere to buy the game? That makes no sense.
It's not like you get advertisements on the other products. If you click a shortcut to a specific game if brings you to the launching page of the game and checking out the other games is completely your choice.
>open b.net
>BUY OVERWATCH
>BUY LEGION
>GO WATCH OUR MOVIE
This is the focus of the application, it takes up the most visible space
SO MUCH MARKETING
Blizzard can sell bottled air for $30 per bottle, and they would not lose any customers. They probably use some kind of meme magic, where literally all of their products make money, no matter how bad they are.
No matter how much people complain about WoW expansions, millions still buy them. They still pay the absurd monthly fees for slow laggy 400ms connections.
cherry pick it if you want, i dont see why anyone sane would defend blizzard though
>not expecting to see something for the warcraft movie in the warcraft page
Are you daft?
one is good
the other is progressively getting worse with each year they release it
You're only shown the buy Legion thing because you're on the WoW page. Bnet opens up with the last page you were on, so if you stick to the games you actually own, you shouldn't see that. And for WoW players I imagine that is some useful notice.
Overwatch got its place in the news cycle on every page but that's because it just launched.
Did I say I was surprised?
That I was SHOCKED to find ads in it?
No, my meaning was that ITS A BILLBOARD INSTALLED ON MY SYSTEM
>blizz releases a game
>suddenly Sup Forums defends the highest order of jews
What a "surprise"
>it takes up the most visible space
So does everything else outside this box just not exist?
Oh wow I really stepped deep into it, odd, I haven't been to any blizz forums in a decade...
Fuck you Nitram
>>Overwatch got its place in the news cycle on every page but that's because it just launched.
B-BUT MARKETING
can I use the weekly brawl mode to cheese trophies?
are there any groups dedicated to cheesing trophies yet?
Overwatch has fart porn
>cherry pick it if you want
Cherry pick what?
What marketing do you see on that page?
I love how you completely deflect everything those posters said with the use of mentioning another site.
Surprised you didn't mention redit or called them newfags while you were at it.
Why?
>bbrrrraaaappp
>deflect
No not really, again, feel free to defend so vehemently what is pretty much one of the two worst companies in the industry, just be aware of how you come off while doing it - blizzdrone-kun.
People are "defending" bnet, not blizzard.
Once again I love all this deflection
Go ahead, call me a drone.
I LITERALLY have never played any Blizzard games besides Overwatch before.
I have no interest in WoW, I hate RTS games, and I fucking HATE mobas.
But yes, I'm a Blizzard drone.
Oh yeah, huge distinction.
So why not defend Uplay then?
Battle.net is probably the least offensive of all the publisher launchers. It starts quickly, barely takes any resources at all and doesn't have any pop ups shilling new releases or whatever like Steam does.
I would say the Epic Games launcher is the absolute worst, followed closely by Uplay. They both take ages to load despite being basically just embedded web browsers, and somehow they still take up a lot more resources than they should. And for what? The Epic Games launcher in particular is fucking worthless, they haven't even finished a single game since they launched it, so all you can use it for is a bunch of betas. Yeah, let me just start this web browser that takes 30+ seconds to launch and causes my computer to lock up completely so I can play the UT beta.
I don't really see a big difference between Origin and Steam, they're both pretty slow to launch, take up the same amount of resources, etc..
But it's fucking stupid to have all these launchers all with their own separate friends lists and shit to begin with, they should have just come up with a standard interface to let people keep their friends lists across the platforms. It's even more of a clusterfuck in Uplay where if you created your Uplay account using a Steam account some options in the launcher wont be available to you (at some point, this included the fucking store, which is like 50% of the point of the launcher). These launchers are complete retardation driven purely by greed and should never have taken off at all, but people just couldn't stay the fuck away from their Battlefields and Asscreeds and now the publishers actually think this shit is viable.
hello /r9k/
>I LITERALLY have never played any Blizzard games besides Overwatch before.
Then I'm going to call you an underage faggot, I hope you are happy now that you got the correct tag.
Once again you're comparing apples to oranges.
Uplay and Origin are fucking shit and are ran by blights upon the industry.
I've never used it.
Shills
Btw Overwatch is like a 35/100. A 75/100 if you play with friends.
Battle.net is developer exclusive.
Are you unable to communicate in any way other then trying to call other people names to try and lessen their argument? You have nothing to say about people's words so you attack their character.
I'm sure its not possible for anyone over the age of 18 to have never played a previous Blizzard game due to no interest in those genres. Nope.
>and are ran by blights upon the industry.
how does this not describe blizzard again?
Go ahead
Explain how Blizzard is horrible and even comparable to EA/Ubisoft.
Tell me the amount of well known studios Blizzard has closed down.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
I'm not sure if its an unpopular opinion or not, but I think the Battle.net client is the best client out there. I mean it looks nice, and it has everything I need straight up.
I don't see any problems with it other than the ads, but those are everywhere you go so I don't care.
>I'm sure its not possible for anyone over the age of 18 to have never played a previous Blizzard game due to no interest in those genres. Nope.
Yes, basically, because when Blizz was on top of their shit the industry was way smaller, the selection much much tinier.
If you grew up without atleast playing The Lost Vikings or something you are pretty much dead to me.
You realize actiblizz is responsible for a shitton of damage to the industry and EA/Ubisoft copied a ton of their tactics from them, right?
Battlenet is something people have had since fucking Diablo 2 and Starcraft.
Origin is just EA's pathetic attempt at trying to compete with Steam. Nobody has it, nobody fucking wants it, it's the reason Titanfall flopped so fucking hard on PC.
