So Blizzard went and fucked up, made a free-to-play game that costs 60 dollars, complete with skin purchasing.
Thoughts?
So it's not free to play then.
Either way why do people even want to play it? It's just TF2 2.0 with all the characters not looking like they all belong in the same world, horrible designs
It's 40 if you don't get the premium edition.
Also, what's this Overwatch was F2P meme? The only time I ever heard anyone thought that was after the price was released.
You people just want things to complain about and it's pretty exhaisting.
>>315754716
>it's just TF2 2.0
That's exactly why we want to play it
>>315754716
I was hoping it might give TF2 some competition and maybe make Valve get off their asses and do something with the game. Or at the very least, might provide a new alternative to TF2, now that it's been overrun with little kids.
But I'm not paying $39.99 for the basic edition of Overwatch, let alone more than that.
That's $60 for the special edition you turbonerd
It's $40 and there's nothing hinting at buying skins
>>315755553
>Also, what's this Overwatch was F2P meme?
What meme? A lot of people assumed it would be F2P since Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone were. Overwatch certainly LOOKS like a F2P game.
>>315754632
Good, I fucking hate the f2p model
>>315755764
A lot of people assumed these things then told other people these things as a fact. It became a a meme.
In what way? Because it's MP only or because you just assume that any game a PC dev puts out will be F2P?
They're up to what, 40 characters now? Its gonna be a clusterfuck anyway, so who cares.
>>315755764
No it doesn't. At best it looks like a game that will have a pay-in for the first year or two and then go F2P later to keep/increase player traffic.
And just because you assume something does not ever make it true. If assumptions were facts, this whole board would be a lot less retarded. How people continue to get mad because what they invented in their head turned out to be false still surprises me.
I paid $40 for TF2 in early 2008. I feel it was worth every penny. I've played the ever living crap out of TF2.
I wouldn't mind doing the same for Overwatch as long as it ensured me content. Overwatch is totally going to flop if they try to do LoL bullshit where you have to pay or earn in-game currency for new characters. That shit just doesn't work for a shooter game. It'll die off just like Tribes Ascend if they do that shit.

ayy lmao
I give it 3 months after launch for them to drop the price tag and go F2P.
People who already bought it get the next character for free. Maybe a hat too.
>>315757319
>Time to raise my APM!
Okay, I think I'll pass on this game.
>>315754632
nothing wrong with the price tag, the real problem is that it doesn't give beta access.
![617x[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/TfPX690.jpg "617x[1].jpg")
>>315754632
So do we know by now how new characters and skins etc will be handled?
Because I'll be furious if they go with the moba model DESPITE being buy to play, yet I can so see this happening
>>315758279
I'll give them 0 days.
IMO Origin pack is for early access and Heroes pack, like Smite pack with all heroes.
>>315758828
Wow so if you pay 60 dollars instead of 40 you get to play ALL champions??
BASED BLIZZARD
>incoming poorfag tears
>>315758607
activision pressure will make them do it that way
especially as the cost of overwatch was so damn fucking high
and the fact that hots basicaly failed
>>315754632
tbth, if they release new heroes and maps for free forever I won't mind a cosmetic cash shop. They have to monetize somehow. If they go full jew like WoW they can go fuck themselves.
I'm not buying on release anyways, so I can watch how they handle b2p without being a "sucker". Too many other games to play before June.
>>315759683
>you get to play ALL champions*
*all champions available on release.
but we have no concrete information right now
>>315758279
guaranteed to go f2p. wouldn't be surprised if it's already slated to go f2p at some point, but they want to get that extra dough from early adopters.
smart move on their part. probably what they should've done with heroes.
>>315758279
This is exactly how it's going to go down. A little free burst of income to cover development costs from the $40/60 release, then drop it F2P once sales die down at the same time as releasing a new pack of cosmetics/characters/etc.
>>315759915
They did something similar with heroes, where they were basically selling beta access + 3 characters a month or so before the game went into open beta.
>>315754632
>>315760221
not gonna lie. I would play evolve if it went f2p. the game is fun enough to fuck around with every now and then, but no way in hell was I paying $50+ for it.
I was hoping for $15-20 max at release. nice little l4d-lite, but 2k had to be greedy little shits.
>>315757319
>game on!
>nerf this!
>time to raise my APM!
the three new character are awful even compared the other 18
>>315760221
>Without this requirement, keeping hackers out of the game is impossible.
Yea because League and Dota are always hacked
lel i hope their sales are going horribly bad
who would pay up 60 euros for this shit. They're not even providing early access.
>>315760362
I'm surprised it still isn't F2P with all that lack of content
>>315760487
Hacks aren't as prevalent in those games because mechanical skill doesn't really matter. What would you even do? Maphack? Nothing intensive enough to be worth scripting either.
>>315754632
The amount of shills Blizzard has makes this another guaranteed short-term success.
I'll go play Unreal Tournament until this has f2p.
>>315754632
>Thoughts?
I want to impregnate Widowmaker
>>315758607
You can find a hint in how they worded the anouncement of the price.
Box price will be $40 for all current 21 heroes.
>current
Think about it anon, why would they emphasize 'current'
>>315761353
Maybe In Game Cash?
what happened to the fucking ingame currency system that was data mined?
>>315756593
>I paid $40 for TF2 in early 2008
You didn't. You paid 40$ for the orange box. Which came with a total of two other, SP games WITH modding tools and two expansions to one of those game.
I remember a standalone release of TF2 that cost 20$ to 30$ depending on retailers but it was never 40$.
This shit is a scam.
>>315755945
F2P with skins store is the most profitable business structure, so it was assumed. Trying to steal some of the PC gaming market share from LoL, DotA 2, and TF2 is going to be impossible if less people actually play the game.
>>315754632
The 60 dollar premium is a way to keep third world trash out. No offense but f2p drags quality down.
>>315760221
These developers and publishers learn nothing.
>>315756593

It's never gonna die. It's a formula that strikes right into normies and faggots.
>>315754632
>skin purchasing
Who gives a shit about cosmetics?
I'm fine with it being buy to play and having a cosmetic store in game as long as they let you use all the characters.
>>315754632
So the game is 40$ and future characters cost extra? If that's the case, then that's cancer.
Getting real sick of these references for voice clips.
Why can't game devs just stick to in-setting dialogue that makes sense? I don't need everything to be some epic meme every time.
>>315762556
maps might also cost extra
Blizzard drones will defend this.
>>315762569
Blizzard has always done this in every game, no exceptions.
>>315762556
The $40 is activision demanding that they front-load the profit before teh game has the chance to drop off.
It's essentially the same as forcing the layer to buy a bunch of cash-shop purchases up front. Like if in HotS you could download the client but you were forced to purchase $40 worth of heroes before you could play a match.
In this Overwatch case the heroes end up being about $2.50 each but you have to buy them all, even the ones you don't like.
>fps with cooldowns
>expecting money for it
Blizzard gets away with murder.
I'm a dev for this game and I can tell you right now that we don't plan to change Widowmarker's and Tracer's skin tight asses as soon as Activision feels like it got enough money out of the waifufags. They'll fix the models in a PR attempt to look Progressive.
>>315760221
>>315760362
even tough people shit on Evolve for DLC fiasco, they actually did it alright. All DLC on release were random skins and unlocks, first one doesn't matter that much, second one sucked a bit, because people skipped content.
But they fucked up with Editions big time, there were 6 SKUs or something.
>>315762664
I know but I still dislike it.
Compare to something like Left4Dead where the characters have lots of dialogue but they arn't all just blatant quotes from some movie.
>all these buttblasted poorfags, BRs, RUs, and slavs that cant afford a $40 game pissing and moaning because the game isnt free
>>315762248

>Wanting a game to be freemium
I want kids and brazilians off /v/.
So do I at least get beta access for the 60 sheckels jew edition or what?
>everyone complaining about the price
you faggots that are bitching are just going to end up buying it anyways. but i guess you gotta look cool on the internet and post how much you hate it and shit.
>>315762793
>there are many hundreds if not thousands of people who paid full retail price for Evolve and who played it twice or maybe 3 times and never touched it again.
>they have seasons passes worth of skins for their monsters that you have never ever used ingame
>>315763041
its about everything that comes after the launch you mongoloid.
>>315763078
Cause traditional MOBA's are passe. Now FPS MOBA's are the thing for next few years.
>>315763146
Run the credit card and find out :^)
>>315763146
probably not. overwatch twitter said they won't be sending out invites for a while
Why would I pay $40 for a game when I can play several other superior games of the same genre for free? And if I'm playing those games, why would I sacrifice my skill, rank, and/or skins?

>>315763780

I would definitely play this game just for this
>>315763678
With most games, buying a new game isn't a big deal. It's a whole new experience that can easily take up 10-30 hours of your time.
With these new multiplayer games though, the experience is the same. Kill people so you can do X to win, or last team standing wins. Then every game after that is the same thing, just with different people.
>>315754632
Is it a rule that every FPS game that isn't an already established franchise has to be F2P these days?
Everyone just assumed it would be F2P for no real reason, and the assumption stuck around for so long that people are suddenly surprised now.
"It has 'heroes' and the concept is similar to TF2... it must be F2P!"
You guys do know TF2 wasn't always F2P, right?
>>315754632
>59.99
Sweet I can actually play it.
>Still has a cash shop
Those greedy fucks.
>>315764232
Yes, but the main issue is that they haven't specified if all future characters are going to be free or locked behind a paywall in the cash shop along with cosmetics. This would cause a total break in the player base, and probably harm the game's life.
>>315761654
Yeah, earned through either playing 500 matches or paying the easy and efficient $5 booster pack for each character!
>>315754632
No one ever said Overwatch was going to be free. It's people like YOU that just assumed these things and accepted those theories as facts. Good lord it's a big fucking joke now how people want their games to be free ever since Valve starting their F2P shit.
>>315754632
>$60
Not worth it.
Guess I'll stick to CS:GO, TF2 and QL.
>>315764093
>Everyone just assumed it would be F2P for no real reason
The fact that it looks like ass, has no single player campaign, and was all but guaranteed to use the MOBA model of constantly releasing new heroes for real money?
>>315764093
No one's complaining about it not being free. It's the high price tag that's weird when competition offers better games for lower price.
>>315764639
Do you not understand that people aren't complaining that they were mislead? They're just stating that this product does not seem to be worth the AAA price tag they put on it.
>>315754632
Dead on arrival
>>315764432
It's Activison, they are massive kikes and always have been. They never gave a shit when they split the COD fanbase with their shitty map packs and they won't give a shit here if they split the fanbase between DLC characters.
>>315764924
its $40, thats not the usual AAA price tag of $60
>>315764639
Also to add to this for everyone claiming microstranactions after it's release. See all those heroes they advertised? Available at launch with no other characters locked from a pay wall.
Do some research for once in your lives /v/.
>>315754632
>Blizzard

>>315765091
$40 is entering full release territory. This is not $40 worth of content.
I love how they danced around the question if future heroes will cost money.
SPOILER:They will cost money
>>315765102
>See all those heroes they advertised? Available at launch with no other characters locked from a pay wall.
yeah, all 21 specifically
now i wonder what would happen if they added a 22nd character
>>315765223
>Bring a grown up means just spending you money on frivolous shit and caring about what other people like
Okay pal.
Won't buy it simply because I don't trust it to maintain a healthy community. Not after Titanfall and Evolve and the myriad MMO's that failed with a B2P or P2P model.
Plus the way that they emphasized the fact that you get the CURRENT available content for the base pack, I didn't like it. They'll release more heroes and map packs and charge $$ for it, dividing the community.
All because they didn't want a F2P game on consoles.
>>315765253
Again, do some damn research.
No plans on adding more characters.
>>315765102
It wouldn't be /v/ if there wasn't a massive amount of faggots having knee jerk reactions at shit they don't care enough to research.

>>315761840
No. I bought TF2 before the Orange Box bundle. I straight up bought TF2 by itself. I think I'm mistaken though, it might've actually been $30 for TF2 by itself.
However, I did buy bought the Orange Box later because I didn't own Portal or the Half Life 2 games. It was during a sale and I got it for $10. They didn't give me a gift for the extra TF2 to share with somebody, strangely enough.
>>315754716
Because Blizzard fans are degenerate keks who will buy literally anything their company shovels out, hence why 5 million people still pay for their shitty MMO every month, and will continue to do so for the next FIFTEEN FUCKIG MONTH until Legion is released
But don't worry guys, if you preorder now you can play the demon hunter A WEEK before launch

You don't have to buy the shit, its cosmetics. So long as nothing in the store affects gameplay it doesn't matter. Would it be great if they had it so you could obtain cosmetics through gameplay? Of course. But as it is there still isn't a problem.
>>315767357
If they do go down that route I'll be against it. I haven't seen any evidence to show that they will though.
>>315767369
Its $40 dollars for the base game. The OP is showing the Origins Edition of the game which comes with some extra cosmetic shit and other garbage for Blizzards other games.
>Marketers falseflagging with shitposts @ BRs
>>315767628
$40's still too much when QL and TF2 are free and CS costs $15 at most.

>>315767628
Even if you do you need to buy the heroes.
In other words, you're spending nothing less than 60 dollars on this either way.
Why is all of the lore spread across Blizzard's sit instead of in the game? It would benefit a lot from a single player campaign

Hey, I'm complimenting you when I call you a shill. Would you rather be called a braindead Blizzard fanboy?
>>315767543
>$40
>high price
There's a plethora of reasons not to buy Overwatch yet, but the price isn't one of them.
If your main issue is the price, you're just a cheap cunt

>>315767147
Lol there was no "before" orange box, that was the game's release date. You could buy it separately later though.
>>315754716
I think it works because the characters are basically superheroes/villains, most of the characters in the marvel universe don't look like they belong with each other, but it works because the universe is massive and slightly more futuristic. And it likely is free to play, just you can buy all the current heroes straight off. I imagine they'll try to make it work similar to the HOTS pay model.
>>315767834
But making a single player campaign actually means they have to work on a proper game, not some cookie cutter game like this. I bet it didn't even cost them much to make Overwatch at all, yet they are still asking 40/60 dollar for it.
>>315767201
You're right, so get out of my hobby since it's always been happening.
>>315767923
Show me where it says future heroes and maps won't be free.
>>315767918
>>315767923
You don't even know what the cashshop is for. How about you wait until you do instead of being cancerous shitposters shitting on things you know nothing about.

I dont think anyone was super pissed about Evolve being $60. I mean, it looks like it shoulda been cheaper with the amount of DLC it took to make the game actually good, but still, it's was a AAA game, so why the fuck not? The only reason it was a shitstorm was because it took another 50 bucks to actually add any content to the game.
>>315768130
Show me where it says they will be free.
>>315768136
THIS IS BLIZZARD, YOU ARE THE DUMBEST NIGGER ON THE PLANET IF YOU HONESTLY THINK THEY WONT FUCK YOU OVER WITH A CASH SHOP
>>315767773
Of course they don't, but it's highly prelevant among the boards on 2ch.
>>315767947
I haven't paid a penny for it yet because of that. I know just how easy they could go down that path and I want an answer before I cough up any cash.
>>315767967
I addressed that if you read my post in its entirety.
>Would it be great if they had it so you could obtain cosmetics through gameplay? Of course. But as it is there still isn't a problem.
It would be ideal for them to have some progression so the game wouldn't feel stale, but it's entirely up to them if they actually want to implement that.
>>315754632
Not only that, the developers have stated that "Overwatch was designed for consoles first".
If there was ever any reason to ignore it than the price point and the straight console shit should discourage you.
>>315768130
>asked if future heroes and maps will be free
>completely dodge acting like they don't know
>implying that doesn't mean that they will cost money
The devs probably want it all to be free while the suits will make it all cost money
>>315768161
?
Why would you not at least play it if it was free?
Sounds to me like you may just be a shitty friend.

enjoy it while it last blizzshill
hope it will not die in three months like titanfall
be sure to buy every skins and new heroes added it every month like LOL
>>315754632
it was never f2p
they wanted it on consoles
>>315768272
Exactly. There's no proof of either
Then why jump to the conclusion
>>315768315
Devs probably built it to be like HotS with free heroes and a cash shop.
Activision probably needed to recoup the costs up front and made it $40 retail to try to grab that preorder no-risk money before the hype dies down once it's actually out.
hahahaha fuck that.
Even if I were gullible enough to buy that shit, shilling a $40 f2p game to your friends is even basically impossible, word of mouth ain't gonna work.
>>315768351
>Why would you not at least play it if it was free?
When did I ever imply I wouldn't play it if it was free? I just think it was funny because he was hyping it up big time but he obviously doesn't think it's worth $40. They really think having this come out on consoles is going to make up for the difference of lost players.
>>315768490
Because they made it a point to say "current 21 heroes" and when pressed if further heroes would be free or not they declined to comment on it.
I just want to buy a new fucking game without the developer waving their dick in my face about all the shit I'm not even getting
>>315768415
TF2's characters just ooze personality and it's fantastic. If only the game wasn't unoptimized as all hell.
I hope this is a massive flop, Blizzard needs a slap of reality
>>315768518
>When did I ever imply I wouldn't play it if it was free
Because you obviously weren't even interested in the game when you and your buddy thought it was.
>I just think it was funny because he was hyping it up big time but he obviously doesn't think it's worth $40
Ehhh, pricing can affect the game's quality, main reason I bought REV2 or why Undertale is so popular is because they weren't priced way higher than they're worth.
I do agree that this game is retarded for trying to copy a f2p shooter with a 40$ price tag.
get fucked
stay out of the game you cancerous shits
I don't get it, why did people think this would be F2P? Blizzard never even hinted at the game being free. Hell, even TF2 wasn't free (and had a cash shop where you could buy items that affected gameplay) before the game started dying.

>>315768765
I think most of the cancer will stay in the game.
>>315765517
you know its gonna happen nerd, with the way they just pumped out characters you know its not going to end at release
>>315768879
>Not pre ordering digital on the very day before release to bargain hunt deals AND get pre order bonuses
I do agree that guy is retarded though.
>>315768761
>Because you obviously weren't even interested in the game when you and your buddy thought it was.
I was fully ready to play it for free because TF2 is a cancerous husk of what it was and I enjoy co-op mechanics in shooters. I like when I beat people with expensive skins. Let them have the biggest cash shop they want, but I'm not going to pay for the game then.
>>315768879
you're just mad they might give me beta access
>>315755553
the fact that people thought the game was only worth playing as a f2p means thats the value they gave it.
i don't see anyone paying $40 or $60 for this game. if i want to pay for a team based shooter, i'd rather play the multitude of shooters out currently including CS:GO which is only $14.99.
blizzard is done. HOTS is a flop, hearthstone is doing ok but it looks like it has peaked and its not gaining any new players. SC2 is ded and no one is talking about the last expansion which is coming out same day as FO4.
>>315768431
>hope it will not die in three months like titanfall

Epic.

It's like you don't want full price triple A releases for 30 bucks instead of 60.
>>315768765
you must be new to blizzard games
>fucking poor fags
>haha, I'm going to enjoy paying $40 just to access a cash shop
This isnt an either or situation. It isnt a choice between retail price and f2p cash shop. It is a choice between retail price + cash shop and f2p +cash shop. Are you idiots really so stupid that you'll throw money at something just to 'get rid of br ruskies,' an issue that was solved years ago with regional servers?
Or are there really this many marketeers on this vietnamese astrology forum? And were do I sign up for that job?
>no beta for pre orders because they dont have the servers for so many people
>>315768871
Because it's obviously trying to be TF2 and it just looks kind of cheap to begin with. It looks like a kind of fun, updated TF2 that didn't quite go off the deep end yet.
I think the biggest thing is that if they had told people it was going on consoles from the get-go much less people would have thought it was free.
Not to mention that Blizzards' other new games were all free to play.Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone naturally would lead you to assume that was their model now. I think it's fair.

This game is still going to use it, though. On top of costing already.
>Good goy, now buy our new characters!
>>315769115
I'm not that anon, but if I had to choose between this game flopping and 40-60 dollars becoming the new industry standard for arena team shooters with zero campaign then I'd choose flop.
>>315769346
I hope they wake up with some fucking sense and cut the price. It seems at least sort of fun.
>>315769419
didnt they say no new invites until blizzcon is over?
The funniest thing is the retards that think since the game has a pricetag on it there won't be a cash shop.
>People trying to damage control this game this hard on /v/
Give it up already.
The damage is done.
>>315769265
I see your point, but i still think it's silly people are getting this upset their baseless assumptions aren't true. They act as if it was a fact the game would be F2P and Blizzard did a 180.
Besides, i'd rather pay 40 bucks for 21 heroes over a F2P model where i'd have to pay 8-10 bucks per hero for a grand total of 170-210 dollar, which let's face it would be the model they'd go for. It IS Blizzard, after all.

I understand complaining about it having a cash shop.
But why complain about B2P?
Also it's a Blizzard game, it's not going to bomb, and it wont go F2P.
New heroes will probably be added in expansion packs that take forever to come out.
Why would I play this instead of Unreal Tournament 2004?? Muh fancy graphics and big cgi butts? UT is superior in every other way besides those things and is much cheaper now as well.
IT'S HAPPENING
>>315769579
I guess they didn't get a million pre-orders so they thought they would spread more keys out in hopes of more pre-orders
>>315769627
