I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.

I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.

Same, my most played game ever. I find it funny, at least to me, a game from 2007 thats barely supported by the dev is significantly better than the other modern derivatives of tf2 like overwatch and marvel bandwaggon money maker.

I'll tell you what it is. Freedom.

We can make servers, host servers, have our own communities and set our own rules. Hell, I haven't played a Valve server in five years.

Overwatch isn't a matter of better or worse. It fails to do, at base value, what I value TF2 for, freedom.

Add however many neat little gameplay mechanics you want, if I can't play the game the way I want to, I'm not going to get into it or care.

Overwatch was good when it released then they actively made it trash

I gave it a shot within the first year it came out, only ever played ~10 hours and just didn't find it that fun I suppose.
