Why I Switched From Unity To Unreal Engine...

[@academiadevideojuegos]

You don't pay Epic anything for the first one million. From Epic Games: "Provided that you notify us on time using the Release Form, you will only owe royalties once the lifetime gross revenue from that product exceeds $1 million USD; in other words, the first $1 million will be royalty-exempt."

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Dang nice! I believed a youtube video I watched (silly me! Haha) that's awesome. I think either way, I'd save 50k if I had that kind of income 😆

[@academiadevideojuegos]

​@@TegridyMadeGamesBTW, you don't have to make a big pillar to see the execution from another perspective/position. Just use the "Simulate" option instead of "Play". It will run the game but it will not spawn the player at the PlayerStart, so you can move the camera anywhere you want while in "Simulation mode". Ups! I forgot: Thanks for the video!

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Ahh thank you! ^_^ I still prefer my pillar for other testing reasons. Like it let's me kill them too D:< lol

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I remember a time when the Unreal Engine cost thousands of dollars to license and was only made available to AAA studios. The fact that it's now effectively open source and is completely free (save for royalties and Marketplace purchases) is just incredible.

Had a STRONG feeling it was going to

[@vasileiospgr]

I started using Unity for making a solo RPG game as my Thesis project for Software Engineering and i'm so frustrated about the workflow that Unity has. There so many things that i always wonder "why is it like that?" and that is why one day i want to buy a PC (yes sadly i'm using a jet engine powered laptop) and try Unreal Engine and maybe release a small game cause why not. Using Unity ~3 years on and off for my solo project i've noticed mostly these: + Unreal has Eye Adaptation built in i think. In Unity i tried making one, and i messed up my lighting settings and my post process and i never managed to make it work. + in Unity you need a PlayerPrefs Editor asset (doesn't have a built in for that) for editing the PlayerPrefs within the Editor. + in Unity you can't change the Screen Resolution when playing the game inside the Editor (it ONLY works when the game is built) + in Unity you can't change the Fullscreen Mode when playing the game inside the Editor (it ONLY works when the game is built) + in Unity you can't access the Graphics Launcher settings that the user selected from the Graphics Launcher window that appears first when you run a built application. + Unity does not provide an official list of the PlayerPrefs keys that are specifically used by the Unity's Graphics Launcher + in Unity you can't have a second Console Window (no idea if you can in Unreal) + in Unity when you are focused on a different screen than the one Unity Editor is, it does a miss-click every time you click back at Editor. (i accidentally move files & gameobjects from the scene etc.) + in Unity while in Play Mode if you make changes to a Game Object, there isn't a way to apply them to the Game Object directly. + worst thing for me is Unity doesn't have *Fullscreen* mode when playing the game in Editor (only a "Maximized Window" they call it), and you need a paid asset for that ("Fullscreen Editor"), like wtf? + the bug that sometimes in Scene View when you put the "camera" close to the assets or the terrain, the assets-terrain kinda disappear. Only fix i've found is closing and re-opening the Scene Window.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

A lot of the things you mentioned as assets are relatively easy to program yourself. I love unity for that reason, but then again any of the tools that are missing from unreal engine are also almost as easy to make (which isn't many). The real power of unity comes with its flexibility, its system don't force you to make your game any specific type of way which is a bit easier for some beginners. Both are amazing engines, I still use unity mostly because its just what I enjoy most. And because I can make games much faster than unreal. But I get paid more to use unreal engine and get way more job offers (or at least had a ton last summer) for unreal engine.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Okay so like to all the Unity fan boys replying..... Have fun paying them per install lol. Saw that coming a mile away. Please note I had cognitive amnesia and have forgotten how to use unreal engine because of it, please stop critiquing me as I'm literally having to re-learn the entire engine now as I lost 6-12 months of my muscle memory. I may not even understand what you are suggesting or implying :)

[@chancelloryusuf]

[@alyasVictorio]

One more thing, here's the list of 4 reasons why Unity failed against Unreal Engine in the 1st place: 1. Unreal Engine has Nanite Foliage that adapting clusters of model polygons according to distance, making games of this engine run smoother regardless of how high the detail is unlike what Unity gave to 2. Unity is bloated with oversaturaed amount of bootleg mobile games (worst cash grabs that ruined mobile platforms) with more ads which is more controversial to the rest of gaming platforms 3. Absurd management to Unity, specially this link about its problems (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIK2daagf6acmdUsi=6lf6U_Dh4Mf7RUOb), plus amid its bad optimisations and bug prones (this last half is offtopic but more relatable to this case) 4. Unreal Engine's visual coding (Godot also had it too) makes you game development more flexible unlike the usually hard Unity code language

[@fonzie6742]

you're smart, bro

[@angreeee]

instead of treating this as a bussines opportunity for yourself, you decide to rub it in and sh** over (now ex-) unity fans. Good bussines decision. And so mature!

[@tomtomkowski7653]

The biggest problem with Unity is that you have to pay a lot for things you will get out of the box with UnrealEngine for free. Just a few examples of Unity paid assets you get in UE by default: RayFire, Final IK, Astar Pathfinding, Volumetric Fog, Easy Save, Gaia, etc. Let's add to this PCG, a Behavior Tree (you can buy a Unity asset), physics-based animations (but of course, you can buy an asset for Unity), Nanite, and so on. Not to mention this outdated terrain tool with standard textures from 20 years back. And yes, separate Render Pipelines are the most stupid thing ever for a multiplatform game engine.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

right, by the time you get anything close to unreal engine features you've spend a good thousand bucks or more.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Yep, Unity is so hopelessly threadbare straight out of the box. Even first-party basics like Cinemachine and the new Input System have to be installed separately and on a per-project basis, would it really hurt to just include those given Unity themselves already said that the old input system is legacy and shouldn't be used?

For me the biggest issues with Unity are the shaders. They are so unnecessarily complicated and full of bugs that it just demoralizes you from continuing to code.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

i concur lol

[@maxfun6797]

Wait... dont both unity and unreal use the same hlsl scripting language for shaders? I thought that this was probably the most identical things about them. (I haven't coded up an unreal shader, or started dev with unreal, yet.)

[@TegridyMadeGames]

@maxfun6797 same language doesn't mean same outcome when referring to game engines.

[@davdev793]

@@maxfun6797 Usually you would use shader editor on UE like other 3d programs such as blender, houdini, and feels very natural to use. Unity nowdays got its own shader graph, wich is great but not as straightfoward as UE's shader editor. UE render pipeline is also easier to work with , and better documented IMO, in the end more mature for artists at least.

@@TegridyMadeGames what the difference? Can u show us in a video?

[@manai2683]

2:55 Oh is that why they have such shitty documentation and broken editor that crashes like there's no tomorrow? It's a good engine to make prototypes quickly and make games that look good. Designers would love the engine sure. But I try to make something anything remotely out of the box and it's just hellish to program. I'll be really honest, I wish I could code Unity style with the graphics pipeline and module/presets that Unreal provides. But if that ideal engine does not appear, I'll be sticking to Unity. Making my game look good is secondary, and it's not like it matters much for stylized graphics anyway.

[@mildlyinteresting5519]

Visual Studio works just fine with Unreal - the errors you see at 5:35 are from intellisense - just change the dropdown from "Build+Intellisense" to "Build" . Or better still close the error window and just use the output window

[@TegridyMadeGames]

oo that would solve it, I went ahead and got rider anyways because it kept crashing randomly too.

[@jayare7750]

I had an idea for a game, researched all game engines and unreal’s blueprints made the most sense to me because I’m not a good programmer(understatement). I created a working demo using unreal with zero coding. Seeing all the recent updates to unreal is getting me excited for my next update

[@stevenpike7857]

When you really become very good at blueprints, jumping over to C++ will be a cake walk anyway. Also, there's not this or that. You can slowly introduce C++ along with Blueprints as you learn, play and grow.

[@dougwarner59]

I am taking this course that uses C++ to create an Unreal game, but it also teaches the blueprints equivalent first; the more I go through the course and understand what is going on the more I would rather use C++; In a few situations, Blueprints is better but for the everything else C++(to me) is easier to use.

[@kellowattentertainment]

As a complete beginner in Game Dev and I thought Unity would be better, but I was wrong. Unity is difficult and a major turn-off for beginners. I spent a month in Unity and I could not even get a third-person character to go past moving. I switched to Unreal and have been using it for less than a month and I was able to implement a weapon equipment system, health bars, AI, and attack system.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

It definitely will come down to individual preferences. I think unity teaches the structure of game development better than unreal, but unreal is definitely easier to get going especially if you aren't using any C++ The unique and neat thing about unity is once you master unity you will understand almost all the concepts to learn pretty much any other engine out there. Learning unreal was much easier after learning unity first, at least for me. Unity's massive amounts of limitations are also its strength, when it comes to learning.

[@kellowattentertainment]

@@TegridyMadeGames That's your experience and it is respected. However, let's look at it from an absolute beginner who knows no coding language C# or C++, and is not interested in learning either coding language. Unity makes it very difficult because even though they have Visual Scripting, it's not promoted, not even by Unity themselves outside of 2D games. Unreal offers you the options, Blueprint or C++, and you choose between the two the moment you create a project. Unity does not offer you the option to choose, you have to learn C# to use Unity effectively. The last time I checked, all the assets on the Unity Asset store that involves "scripting" are C# and if you want to modify it, you'd have to know C#.

[@zae33247]

​@@kellowattentertainmentTrue, thats exactly how I felt like tried both but I prefered by far Unreal

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

The problems I had with Unity: 1) It's absolutely threadbare out of the box. Modern enhancements such as the new Input System and Cinemachine are not installed by default even though they are first party and Unity recommends you use them. There are also all manner of replacements for such basic features as tweening and consuming input events. The fact that multiple people have resorted to replacing these things makes me question just how abominably bad the stock implementation must be. 2) No quality control on the Asset Store. Most of it was unfinished garbage that barely worked, that and most of it wasn't compatible with URP and HDRP which meant this beautiful model was just rendered with a pink texture instead of the proper materials. The only way to fix said issue was to wear a blonde wig and sacrifice a virgin goat at midnight - and even that wasn't always successful. 3) Getting the basics working is a convoluted chore. In Unreal I had a simple FPS test rig set up in about 12 hours, just by watching a few tutorial vids and experimenting. Doing the same in Unity would have taken more like 12 years. The one saving grace of Unity was that it used C# and you could just write scripts then attach them to objects. That's all. In Unreal you have a choice. Use a strange hacked version of C++, or have a fun time deciding which type of Blueprint this new thingy should be - is it a Pawn, a Character, a Player Controller (how's that different to a Character anyway?!), an Actor?!? Frick knows. And then you rely on the barely literate tooltips (they need a technical writer) only to end up picking the wrong thing through no fault of your own and only finding out when you don't have the right options in the Blueprint editor. Oh well. Unity doesn't have that problem in the first place.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

@@kellowattentertainment like i said, individual preference haha

[@marcoseliasmep]

What stops me switching to Unreal is the vehicle configuration. I am never able to find a single tutorial on how to create vehicles completely in runtime, using empty placeholders for the body and wheels. Every tutorial asks for a skinned mesh and creating a bunch of itens inside the UE Editor. This totally kills my desire to switch since I want to make a game with mods. On Unity it’s so easy, in just a few lines of code we can create a vehicle at runtime (ignoring the 3D models). Is that just impossible on Unreal? Haha I’m trying since UE 4.something.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

I'm playing around with vehicles in unreal trying to make a physics skateboard so I'll let you know. I've gotta re learn the basics first.

[@jerobarraco]

nice vid. btw @9:30 most actors have a property called "hidden in game" which you can set during editor and run times. it does something different the visibility checkbox which is editor only, and btw super handy to work with. you can temporarily hide things while working without worrying that in the package game are invisible.

[@Lepumpkino]

7:53 you're doing movement animations in a reaaally strange way. It's traditional to use an animation blueprint with a 1D blendspace for this type of movement.

[@handkc12]

I am soooo glad I went for Unreal instead of Unity. Just the pure fact that it's developed by Epic Games (who, y'know, develop actual games) should've been major greenlight for me, but back then, I chose based on what everybody else was saying. After what happened not too long ago, I realize Unity is in lost cause now unless they replace the heads of the company.

Unreal's new features are already battle tested for 1 year in Fortnite and stuff BEFORE made available to public. Lets just check road maps of both engines, Unity doesn't even have plans for making things like nanite, lumen, etc. What does it promise? Bug free editor and GPU occlusion. Unreal 5.4 on the other hand has mind blowing features, even in the 4th iteration on the engine v5. In Unity we still have to bother with annoying editor bugs. I know many people don't like C++ but if you can't handle just a few pointers in the memory, you should not attempt for game programming in the first place. This business is not something that you can throw a bunch of assets into a blank scene and expect people to empty their pockets to you. Also when the Verse comes things will be a lot different, Unreal will start another new era in game programming

[@ragnar8871]

i spent a year in unity...and i'm still trying to perfect myself but...i'm very tempted by unreal, the only problem is that i'm scared of having to start all over again...scripting language included...in unity i use playmaker a lot which is basically visual scripting with state machines and a bit of c#...is it hard to get used to unreal going from unity? I'm very tempted...many of the features that unreal has already implemented in unity you have to pay for them because they are developed by third parties and you have to be satisfied that they work on your project

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Unity actually has its own concepts that are complex, just easier to learn, for the most part. I'm suffering amnesia but I can still recall how to use blueprints and write functions for them. I lost my memory when it comes to navigating unreal engine however. I will admit it's a beast. If your looking to use it alone you have to accept that progress will always be slower but the end product will be better physics and graphics wise. I agree tho the level building is atrocious compared to unity. Using pre-built levels is your best bed in unreal sadly.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Look up unreal engine procedural concent generation. They are trying to automate level building as much as possible. The tech can make a giant city or forest with little input.

[@MonsterJuiced]

a 'Game Mode' is just something that tells the level or the entire game is you choose which default settings to use. For example one of the settings is the player controller. If you create your own 'game mode' and place it in the levels own game mode override, it means just for the level you can have a totally different default player controller for a totally different genre of game if you want. It does other things too like what is the default spectator camera and such. You usually don't need to worry so much about game mode unless you need different defaults for your game. By generate do you mean load? Or spawn? Or are you talking about procedural generation? You can use a level by right clicking the content browser and selecting 'new level' and naming it. You can also create a different system where instead of individual levels that require loading, you can have sublevels under a master level where a lot of your global code can be in the master level which can apply to sublevels. These sublevels can also 'streamload' which means loading in without loading screens. You can do instanced levels too where if you walk into a volume, it can streamload a level instance which is how Harry Potter did the magic door mechanic where the inside of the house is way bigger than the outside. It was an instanced level :)

[@sethlaske6338]

I don’t care about graphics, and I’ve spent about a week trying to get a custom camera setup to work in unreal. Not a complicated setup either and it has been so painful.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Haha yeah Unreal is complicated because it never removes old stuff like unity does. People complain about unity removing features all the time. But the alternative is clutter like UE5. Unreal engine has a LOT of different ways to setup camera, just like unity. The best way to learn it is to expirement on your own in my opinion. Try to go things without tutorials then go to tutorials when you're stuck.

[@michalrv3066]

I was second guessing myself about learning UE5 but when I try Unity 3d I just can't get any assets from the asset store to work correctly in Unity's HDRP pipeline... everything is just purple. In UE5 I've been importing incompatible asset packs but they just worked. People also say that Unity has more assets in asset store but so many of those assets are low quality and many are just for adding features that should have been built in the engine or at least made by Unity rather than third party devs. I'm sticking with UE5.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

Yeah hdrp has 12 versions... so yeah... I studied hdrp and unity won't even approve my graphics settings asset for it. They just want to bury it now. Unity doesn't do anything right, ever. The only thing they did right was making a game engine everyone can use with a high degree of prototypability

[@TegridyMadeGames]

If you want hdrp it's always easier to use unreal. Plus it looks better, if you ask me.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Even when using URP I had the exact same with the Unity Asset Store. Most of it is just rough, unfinished garbage that's barely compatible with any recent version of the engine. You import anything and it just comes out pink and scaled all wrong. None of the suggested fixes even come close to working. I made my own very basic 3D models in Blender just to get the experience. Imported to Unity it looked like a pile of crap, it didn't play nice with the lighting, I had to rotate parts of it manually and so on. Imported to UE5 it worked perfectly, the colliders were sort of working, it played nicer with the lighting, and even the untextured faces just had a sharper look to them. When you see stuff _actually working_ it's a very powerful and motivating feeling. I never really had that with Unity.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

you can check the pipeline settings for the asset before purchasing. Each asset should have the pipeline compatibility listed out.

On top of it off, both Nanite and Lumen from UE5 reached the peak of its games' full potential specially due to its greater performance withing the high detailed game models

[@VicioGamer47]

About the thing on the last part, you have different ways of playing/testing the game on unreal, you have the normal play mode, you can make it play on a different viewport so you have it more like the unity, and theres also a simulation mode for example that lets you make the game run but without you spawning and controlling the character, you is more like you flying the camera like normal, selecting stuff and making the game but with the game running at the same time, perfect for testing stuff without having to actually play to see the stuff working, like observing the AI that he said.

[@Beef3D]

Unreal might feel hard to get your head around if you've been using Unity for so long.

It took me 2-3 days to do in Unreal what might have taken *at least* twice as long in Unity - and it all looked and played much more nicely. You probably won't want to go back to Unity.

TBH i've heared alot about optmization on unreal and yes it peforms way better on high graphics projects but it peforms way worse on low ones. I feel like it overcomplicates simple things, but it is way easier to work with graphics, shaders, post processing and animations. The mixed and the pure c++ workflow are also really messy and dosent feel as practical as writing a simple script and trowing on a game object like unity. Blueprints are great but it gets messy on complex stuff. To avoid some complexity I see devs relying even more on the store than they do on unity what brings alot of final games with reused assets, systems and mechanics that looks exact the same of a AAA game from few years ago.

Just incase you need to, you can use the same kind of shader pipeline Unity has, it's called forward shading and it's specifically used for mobile nowadays. Also Unity's HDR pipeline is basically just deferred shading right? I need to know because I could be completely wrong here

[@davdev793]

​@@MonsterJuiced Hey friend, thanks for the reply. I may not be able to answer you proper, as I'm not on that technical level, but will do my best. For the first part, yes, I've worked with unreal c++ before and i know you can do it but its not as practical or fast as you do on unity. On unreal you will need to create your header file, your code file, and turn it into a custon node to use on a blueprint or use it as a custom c++ object. The process is way more noisy and have more steps than just trowing an empty game object on a scene and adding a script to it. Thats the key point, you usually can do most thing in one or the other but how effective and practical as a tool is what makes one tool better or worse. To not mention that the compilation process of a unreal project is not as clean as unity projects during the development time. Many times while learning and working with unreal c++ I had to rebuild the project files to get stuff working proper. Thats also true to some obscure erros that pops up due to the unreal live code compilation that tries to optmize the process leaving parts of the code not updated also requiring a project rebuild. I once have a log message poping when the code wasnt even there anymore for a couple iterations.I Only fixed that after rebuilding the project files. When you have experience with the tool issues like this happens less but it is still another roadblock to the whole development. More than quality on the final product as indies or solo devs we need tools that can make our job easier and faster to iterate. On peformance side , a simple project without going too deep on shaders and ilumination you do get a signifcant better peformance on unity than you can get on unreal without any big difference on graphic quality. You may achieve the same level of optmization on a unreal project as a unity one if you do your homework but it is extra work to remove stuff that not every dev will know how to. In another hand it requires alot of work to get some of the crazy unreal graphics on a unity project(even on HDRP) without having a huge hit on peformance. I cant talk much about HDRP, all unity peformance advantages can be felt on URP and built in RP. As far as I know if you need HDRP it means you need high fidelity and it is better to just go unreal instead. To each job the right tool.

I'm not sure about "successful" as it is relative to the individual. But Endless Furry Killer 2020 was my best seller, if sales are how you base success.

[@sabiplaypuzzles7332]

@@TegridyMadeGamesThe way I see it, these are games with no unique game mechanics. In such cases, the Unreal engine really is a better fit than Unity. In principle, the Unreal Engine already has ready-made samples for the generic game concepts. Why are you using the Unreal engine at all? Take a modular system like "Core".

If you want a open world game unreal engine is the way to go, you can always use low poly assets instead of high poly in unreal engine to save on performance.

You say that unreal has everything that unity wishes it could have without needing to pay for it yet you have to pay for basic things like intellisense or just for the code editor to work properly. And the next thing i see you doing is literally building a floor in the air and literally climb on it just to see what the AI is doing...Is this a joke? Dont get me wrong Unity has some bad things like having 3 different pipelines instead of one, baking light etc but for the bad things that Unreal has, you tried to make them look good like the fact that you can't have inspector and game mode at the same time so you will find a good "solution" to this cause you are so good lol. It all sounded too biased, that makes me think you are just an UE fanboy that fell for the trailers. The only easy thing in UE is graphics and that you dont have to manually setup most of the things like in Unity. But to be honest i would rather spend a little time in learning how to manually setup graphics in Unity than spend A LOT of time in learning c++ for unreal and also actually coding in c++ for unreal having to also MANUALLY manage memory allocation. It just takes a lot more time and effort developing in UE and thats why everyone says its for big studios, unlike Unity in which we have seen numerous one man GOOD projects/games. I cringe everytime an UE fanboy comes out and says UE is easier yet it is actually beeing used only by big studios. And dont get started with the whole bluepring thing cause its not really usefull if you wanna make something unique that is not another UE shitty clone with the exact same movement feel and mechanics in general...

[@leeoiou7295]

I agree with you except that you do not really need memory management for c++ with unreal. Unreal does a lot for you and unreal c++ is much easier than using c++ outside unreal. Yeah i agree that the intellisense is abysmal in unreal. It just does not work and I have to keep memorising functions, header file names, etc. Unreal's workflow is also not as good as Unity's IMO. As for blueprint, i think it is really trash. To do anything that is not the typical FPS clone garbage is hard. I am working on an educational game with unique mechanics and unity just works better.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

yeah because the AI wonders and attacks you if you dont have a platform idk why i have to keep explaining that, kinda common sense.... Much faster than using free cam and moving the player somewhere safe too. I think you're missing my point. I think unity is great but its sorely lacking graphics..... If you can make HDRP graphics look better than unreal engine then be my guest, but I don't see it happening. Also you literally can't do the graphics settings in HDRP as they aren't documented properly.... Just doing the SETTINGS took me months of research. I've made an hdrp graphics settings asset thats waiting for approval to correct this issue & tutorials. I never said UE is easier, I literally didn't say that once. I said the graphics are easier and the animation tools are better. Stop putting words in my mouth.... And as for the IDE, I see that as a problem with visual studio rather than unreal engine. Its not killing me from getting work done. I see way more unity shovel-ware crap than i see from unreal engine... That is unreal engine doesn't sell "fully ready games" on their marketplace like unity does so yeah. You can get upset all you want kid, this video made unity approve my assets finally lol.

[@TegridyMadeGames]

The main problem I'm finding with unreal engine is lack of education and therefore lack of CORRECT tutorials. Most of them teach you to cast everything right of the back when you're supposed to use interfaces to pass variables. Don't mock something you don't fully understand. I fully understand unity, not unreal engine. But so far my impressions of unreal engine have been MUCH more positive than unity. These are also just my two cents opinions on the engines. It doesn't mean one is a absolute winner. I'm not here to argue which is better, just why I switched. Also yes, you don't really have to manage memory as much as people would like to make you believe. Also if you haven't had to manage memory in unity with manual override then you haven't done anything too crazy yet. Its all a matter of opinion and preferences at the end of the day.

What about showing a game, not just a scene and comparing graphics? I mean working on the actual game is quite important, when it comes to making a game. What if one was easier to work with than the other, that would be something to mention, wouldn't it? Regarding C++ vs C#, people are absolutely entitled to complain about C++. Now it's not to say that some programmers cannot prefer C++, or have good reasons rthey would would want yo use C++ rather than C#, but as a comparison, most programmers who are skilled in both C++ (usually they've used the language for years), and later picket up C# (possibly for Unity), are faster, more productive, with C# than C++. It can easily be that the same task will take you half the time in C#, or less. If you have to write tens or hundreds of thousands lines of code to finish your game, it will make a huge difference. This is something quite important to mention, then it's up to anyone to decide.

Ultimately you should choose the one that works best for you, not out of emotion, but out of passion for game development. You should learn both because it increases the job opportunities. There's some "nice" things about Unity that I thought unreal might not have, but after working with a open source team and learning more about Unreal Engine I've found that both are totally competent engines. Before the "AI pandemic" hit, I was getting tons of offers for Unreal Engine development from recruiters...
