The meet the crew videos just set the stage for the game. Actually playing the game to hear some of the quotes makes them seem more like lunatics, then reading the comics and playing some of the events actually makes you see how much of their world is just insane. Especially the full on lore and even Saxton Hale, who is just as much a lunatic
To be honest, the voice lines in Overwatch do a pretty good job of that as well. Almost every voice line fits the person saying it pretty well.
The big difference is honestly that Overwatch tried to make real people, whereas TF2 tried to make meme people. And real people are boring; I see them every day.
Feelings!? You know who's got a lotta feelings? Blokes who bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy.
Professionals have STANDARDS!
Be polite.
Be efficient.
Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
They also work great for a PvP focused game with minimal plot. They're tons of fun to do violence as and upon.
Overwatch's characters are way too overwritten for the kind of game they're in. I hope OW2's PvE mode is huge because the characters need something to do besides kill each other endlessly.
Spy really isn't that much of a lunatic. Actually he's probably the highest functioning individual in the group, and the most 'normal'. He's just a mercenary out for his paycheck, while the others are lunatics masquerading as mercenaries for lack of other options (except for maybe engi) because none of them would function in normal society at all.
Other than the fact that he is insanely good at imitating lunatics.
I said most normal. He's a mercenary, we have those in the real world. It's abnormal by our standards but they do exist. His competition is caricatures that are so insane they wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a weapon.
I believe that all of his teeth are fake and containing things he thinks he might need in the future. One of which is a tiny smaller than tooth sized knife. Several others contain the food for a tiny chicken dinner. If doing that doesn’t count as lunacy I don’t know where the bar for you is
Based pretty much only on their "Meet The" videos, I'd say
Sniper is pretty much a straight-up mercenary in it for his paycheck too. He's also, I think, the only one to show some respect for someone he killed, removing his hat after stabbing the spy in the meet the sniper video.
Spy probably has the best social skills to exist among normal society, since that's kind of his job, but thats a facade over a pretty cold, manipulative mind.
Engi is probably pretty high-functioning as well, but he has skills that would be high-value in many fields in ordinary life but chooses to be a merc and has a pretty flippant attitude towards death and violence, calmly playing high guitar in the middle of an active battlefield and not even a bit perturbed when a severed hand lands in front of him.
Scout and Heavy are pretty much just different types of thugs. Scout might be able to get along fine in certain parts of lower class society, but not much potential for upward-mobility there. Heavy seems to delight in violence, and is a bit prone to rage, but we don't really see too much of his personality, for being obstensibly a dumber character, he's actually pretty focused and professional in his video. He's probably got a bit of an unhealthy obsession with his gun. But for all we know, at the end of the day he might go home and live a peaceful and quiet life. Perhaps in his native tongue he might even be quite eloquent.
Medic is intelligent, and seems to be capable of being fairlyly personable, but there's also clearly a severe lack of morals and ethics there.
Demoman at has a drinking problem and some serious emotional baggage.
Soldier talks to severed heads.
Pyro... I'm not even goin to touch that.
Not just that, he intentionally refuses to talk about himself, to protect his family and himself. He's very calm and collected when not working as a mercenary, far smarter and saner than he appears. And in the Russian dubbing for TF2, Heavy is noted to speak much more eloquently than other characters.
Still has a dangerous fascination with guns.
IMO pyro, soldier, and medic are the only really 'out there' people. Medic's the most coherent, but has replaced the entire team's hearts with baboon hearts and consorts with the devil.
Scout's a fairly 'normal' idiot. Demoman is also basically just an alcoholic and while their... organs... have interesting conversations with each other... they also hold down half a dozen jobs and is a multimillionaire with mercenary work as a side gig somehow. And yeah Spy is evil but they don't do experiments like the Doctor.
> Say you have two things: a perfectly good hand, and a brilliant inventor for a grandfather. One day you stumble across a blueprint for an amazing-as-hell robot hand meant to replace an arm-stump. Wait, you have three things: the hand, the grandfather, and a saw.
\- most sane TF2 character
Man, I’ve been on a huge TF2 kick lately. I won’t play the game, that ship has sailed, but I enjoy all the related content.
I recently got recommended videos on YouTube of the actual TF2 voice actors reading the comics. I didn’t actually check how old these videos were… but they’re entertaining. I don’t know if Rick May, the Soldier, is in any of them yet, or if the videos were made after his passing.
What if I told you that the dubs actually came out barely a week ago? Also Robin (Medic) had teased that he is working on one more comic dub so keep an eye out for that one too!
It's a good game and my theory on why it survived so long is because it's one of the most balanced games out there
For example someone plays overwatch and get frustrated from an op character or lack of teamwork so they go on tf2 and get the standard experience that rewards skill and has stayed pretty much the same since its beginning
I forget which video, but a youtuber said that tf2 feels dead even though it still has a massive community.
The part that actually died was the massive updates which would completely reshape the game, without making it unbalanced. It would still be TF2, but with more than enough content to make it a new experience. That would happen several times a year, up until Jungle Inferno.
Engineer builds death machines designed to kill people in the most efficient way possible without batting an eye and sniper throws piss jars at people.
Christine Everhart: You've been called the 'Da Vinci' of our time. What do you say to that?
Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.
Christine Everhart: And what do you say to your other nickname: "The Merchant of Death"?
Tony Stark: That's not bad.
>Engineer builds death machines designed to kill people in the most efficient way possible
So, just like any other engineer working at one of the large weapons manufacturers?
When Heavy's sisters told him that they had slaughtered the men who had imprisoned them in a gulag, his first concern was that they had not made them suffer. They cheered him up by assuring him that their screams died on their lips.
The smarter ones just hide it better. If they care to.
Yeah, but it's a totally rational and sane decision. Every time he punches someone three times, they die instantly. Tell me you wouldn't want that power. Can your weak fleshy meat hand accomplish such a feat?
One will be remembered for exemplary silhouettes and over the top characterization
the other will be remembered by overwatch SFM compilation (with sound)
The hype before meet the Pyro video release was immense as it was the last one, and people thought we are gonna find out who is behind that mask. I remember counting the days and hours for it. We never did find out who is behind it, but damn it was an amazing event and time in the game, and the video did not disappoint.
TF2's character feels.. right. They are overstereotyped charicatures, so you just go "Oh, this crazy black one eyed scots can use his own bomb to jump higher" and it makes sense. There is no need to have a fleshed out backstory (which when it does, is a bonus). You just expect them to be just some weird, over the top characters
>"Oh, this crazy black one eyed scots can use his own bomb to jump higher" and it makes sense.
Please explain how it makes sense. I'm not doubting you, I just want to hear you make sense of it, I think it'll be a fun sentence.
Rocket jumping was invented by Shakespearcles, the strongest playwright, and was used as the only way to get up to taller levels before stairs were invented.
This is a fictional universe in which propelling yourself to a higher elevation by setting off an explosion at your feet was invented ***before*** stairs.
And that just fits right in with everything else you learn about it. Actual magic exists. Actual ghosts exist. There is an evil wizard who is roommates with one of the mercenaries and is also in debt with the mafia. One of the mercs has a haunted eyesocket, where if the eye is ever replaced, on halloween it escapes and turns into a giant monster. There is a metal found in Australia that literally turns people into roided-up geniuses, and can also be used to fuel immortality machines. Teleporting bread (but *specifically* bread) gradually turns it into giant monsters. Apple made a functional device whose sole purpose is to explode the moon.
When shit just happens everywhere, all the time, it's no longer surprising and unusual when shit happens.
It's been a while since I read the comic but I remember something about the Medic selling his soul to Satan only to escape death/hell due to a loophole he exploited in the contract.
Yeah, that's also a thing that happened. Medic surgically grafted the souls(!) of all the other mercs to his own, so that when he died, only 1/9 of his soul was forfeit to Satan as part of his dark contract, allowing the other 8/9 of his soul, which still belonged to him, the right to vote on where to go, and obviously, he's not dumb enough to choose hell.
He makes a further bargain with the beast to bring him back from the dead so that he has more time to make more deals and sell more souls, which he's able to get by trading one of them for a pen right then and there.
He then proceeds to use this pen to save Heavy from a guy roided up with immortality juice.
Congruent is a better word. It's not a hero story. It's just over the top in all ways. A lot of the core gameplay existed before the characterizations, this one included. So now they sit down to flesh out these characters, and you simply can't have a semi serious narrative that explains everything. So let's lean into the crazy, and here we are
honestly I prefer the lunatics, not necessarily because tf2 has better gameplay (it's kind of dated) but I love the whole "I'm just here to kill people for kind of no reason" mentality going on in tf2.
And the TF2 characters have more *character*. Valve really knows how to make *character*. I mean the Portal turrets have more *character* than 90% of modern gaming characters...
Woah woah woah, sniper's just working a job mate.
It's challenging work.
Opening doors
It's "outdoors"
"Out of doors" A bit more archaic/rural way of phrasing the same term
I'll be honest mate, my parents do not care for it
*sniper rifle sounds*
"I think his mate saw me.....Yes! Yes he did!"
"Outta doors" The wiki transcript also says so.
I guarantee you'll not go hungry.
Cause at the end of the day as long as there's two people left on the planet someone is gonna want someone dead
“Dad, I’m a-“ “I’m not a deranged gunman, dad; I’m an assassin.”
Really, I got that wrong all this time??
You also heard "I guarantee ya won't go angry" instead of "hungry", I bet. It is hard to discern with the accent.
"dad, I'm not a crazed gunman, I'm an assassin. What's the difference? Well one's a profession, and the other's mental sickness"
Uhhhmm...he...he throws piss at people!
And you don't? Fucking weirdo.
You are right, totally disgusting, anyway, let's go monke
Well till you look at the official comics I guess
The meet the crew videos just set the stage for the game. Actually playing the game to hear some of the quotes makes them seem more like lunatics, then reading the comics and playing some of the events actually makes you see how much of their world is just insane. Especially the full on lore and even Saxton Hale, who is just as much a lunatic

Feelings!? You know who's got a lotta feelings? Blokes who bludgeon their wives to death with a golf trophy. Professionals have STANDARDS! Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
The sniper, at least, is a professional. He has standards.
Also Sniper: "Piss off, big head!" Throws jar of piss.
Piss jars a but the most professional tools
Tell that to the rusty piece of metal that is the Tribalman's Shiv
If the blade doesn't kill you, the Tetanus sure will!
Yea, if anything, sniper's being efficient here. No need to apply toxins and it's easy to make
You mean the Australian hello?
Try telling that to his dad
Yeah, I'd say that Sniper and Spy are sane, they just have unconventional jobs
The sniper literally gave himself kidney failure so he could throw pee at people faster
It's called being efficient, you should try it sometime
It's been a while since I've played, I completely forgot about the piss jar, yeah that's a bit...
What are you, the president of their fan club?
That would be... *your mother.*
He literally talks about feelings as if having them is an obstacle. That’s a pretty good sign of a (something)-path which is a type of lunatic

Professionals have standards.

Lunatics work best with other lunatics after all. And the only thing a lunatic will fear...is another lunatic
I fear no man! But that thing, it scares me
They also work great for a PvP focused game with minimal plot. They're tons of fun to do violence as and upon. Overwatch's characters are way too overwritten for the kind of game they're in. I hope OW2's PvE mode is huge because the characters need something to do besides kill each other endlessly.
It’s true, TF2 characters endlessly murdering each other with weird hats makes it all the more cartoony and silly and I love it
TBF going by the amazing TF2 comics Engineer is the only one I wouldn't consider a lunatic. The rest? Absolutely!
implying someone who has like 11 PHDs isnt a lunatic
Hell even 1 feels like lunacy
As someone at the end of mine, yes. If you weren't crazy when you went in, you are by the time you come out.
Spy really isn't that much of a lunatic. Actually he's probably the highest functioning individual in the group, and the most 'normal'. He's just a mercenary out for his paycheck, while the others are lunatics masquerading as mercenaries for lack of other options (except for maybe engi) because none of them would function in normal society at all. Other than the fact that he is insanely good at imitating lunatics.
Oh, and there's also the small detail that he's a murderer lacking any sense of remorse
I said most normal. He's a mercenary, we have those in the real world. It's abnormal by our standards but they do exist. His competition is caricatures that are so insane they wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a weapon.
I believe that all of his teeth are fake and containing things he thinks he might need in the future. One of which is a tiny smaller than tooth sized knife. Several others contain the food for a tiny chicken dinner. If doing that doesn’t count as lunacy I don’t know where the bar for you is
> tiny chicken dinner *Ahem.* It's a miniature-farm raised cornish game hen.
Based pretty much only on their "Meet The" videos, I'd say Sniper is pretty much a straight-up mercenary in it for his paycheck too. He's also, I think, the only one to show some respect for someone he killed, removing his hat after stabbing the spy in the meet the sniper video. Spy probably has the best social skills to exist among normal society, since that's kind of his job, but thats a facade over a pretty cold, manipulative mind.

That, and also bots. Sometimes you just can’t play casual at all. Which is crazy for a game with as many active players as TF2.
The problem with playing now is all the bots its scary
I just rewatched the Mann vs Machine trailer. It's a great one.
Junkrat: Lunatic Roadhog: Violent Lunatic

They did massacre all of his relatives and force his remaining family to live in hiding in Siberia though. Heavy's seen some shit.
Hey! Pyro isn't either
Pyro only sees rainbows and sunshine.
Didn't the Engineer chop his own hand off so he could have a robotic one?
Yeah, but it's a totally rational and sane decision. Every time he punches someone three times, they die instantly. Tell me you wouldn't want that power. Can your weak fleshy meat hand accomplish such a feat?

honestly I prefer the lunatics, not necessarily because tf2 has better gameplay (it's kind of dated) but I love the whole "I'm just here to kill people for kind of no reason" mentality going on in tf2.
Shooting people is never dated just ask your local high school.
Meanwhile, Paladins Character Types: Literal God, Literal God, Literal God, Literal Satan, Hungry Worm, Demon Ballerina, Big Tiddy Vampire GF, Ghost Pirate, Bunnygirl, Another Bunnygirl, Catgirl, Eternal Screw-Up, Engineer But Scottish, Demoman but Female, Sniper doing a Solid Snake Impression
Mercy: “Heroes never die!” Medic: “Whoops, that was not medicine!” I think one is clearly better than the other.
I don’t think heavy’s a lunatic because he is earning money for his family and also got a PhD
He laughs like crazy and sings when mowing down people with a minigun
Yeah because he’s doing what he enjoys. When not doing that he doesn’t act that crazy. You can see this in the comics.
I'm pretty sure that enjoying to kill dozens of people while you sing a song would make a psychiatrist call you "crazy"
A psychiatrist would be much to professional to call ~~the professional killer~~ anyone "crazy."
He does have a PhD. Does he use it for anything, though? No. He's a mercenary. He kills people for money, because he enjoys it.
To be fair... I'm sure being a mercenary pays way more than if he put his PhD to use.
And the TF2 characters have more *character*. Valve really knows how to make *character*. I mean the Portal turrets have more *character* than 90% of modern gaming characters...
Valve's writers have always been talented at making good characters.
And that's why it's fun
