Are people really excited about TF2 presented to you by Blizzard?

It really has a different feel than TF2 to me.

I doubt it has lasting appeal for me though due to the repetitiveness.

I was worried about this as well, but I played through most of the closed beta and the fun didn't end

It might be, but after playing both betas Overwatch was more fun, IMO

I played for a good bit last night for the early beta access.

I really like the game. The comparison to TF2 is there for sure, but I feel like its a better game.

I've played most of the characters through a few matches, and there's two to three that I just don't like.

I thought I would like the damage dealers, but the tanks and supports are the ones I like playing the most. I feel entirely too squishy as the others.

The general gameplay is very much TF2, but the number of different heroes available makes it a very different game.

They are both objective oriented team shooters, but one has just over a handful of classes and the other has a couple dozen different heroes. The larger variety makes each game a little different.

I really enjoy it so far and definitely think Blizzard has done a good job.

I liked the way you could "honor" someone after the game during the recap screen. Although I don't really know what if it rewards you than make you feel good.

My two favorites by far were Winston and Bastion.

I'm trying to decide between this and Battleborn

I love Borderlands, but I have never played a MOBA.

I love TF2, but I was never any good at it.

I pre-purchased and am ready for tonight. I always did (and still do) love TF2 so hopefully I can pick it up quickly.

Are there any good YouTube channels who are keying in on OverWatch, that I could watch to get a feel for the game before the 24th?

Does it have xbox controller support for PC? I don't do keyboards and mouse for fps.
