GP outright stated that Blizzard's games are better than Valve's and Bethesda's because of their strict control over quality/lack of community content.
My point is that Hearthstone is an objectively worse game than Counter-Strike is, in the same way tic-tac-toe is inferior to Chess in almost all respects. I'm not denying Hearthstone is fun, and makes a metric ton of money. I play it a reasonable amount and have spent money on it. But it's not a good game.
I don't see how providing a direct counter-example to an argument is 'generalising', but whatever.
- scrollaway 10y agoOverwatch is a far, far better game than TF2 (also a far better comparison) and I would definitely say that one of the drivers for that is Blizzard's quality control.
- croon 10y agoOr it could be that Overwatch is 9 years newer.
- scrollaway 10y agoYou mean, that TF2 has had a 9 years headstart in improving and polishing their game's design, add more content etc?
- croon 9y agoIt's hard to throw out core principles or do massive overhauls without starting over. At that point it's no longer a patch. They had many years to consider what made a game good, and what to improve on, and modernize concepts.
