Is preordering the Overwatch: Origins edition worth it? It comes with 5 skins and some knick knacks for blizzards other games which I don't care about. The only problem is, what if I become really obsessed with this game and regret not paying an extra $20 for the skins? Is it worth it to you guys? What's your decision ?
>>337084140
>implying you haven't bought the Origins edition already
>>337084140
they're just skins
the game is the same either way right?
>>337084140
Do you think those skins are worth it for $20? If not then don't buy it. I get where you're coming from but it isn't worth it
>>337084140
Only you can decide the value of digital item.
Sage.
Maybe if you played Blizzards other games it would be worth it. I play none of them and the only skins that appeal to me are Soldier and tracer ones, so its more like 20$ for 2 skins.
Slipstream and overgrowth are really cool. Other ones are ugly and for.characters I hate. Also I don't care about the knickknacks unless it's free hearthstone packs
I'm getting it but only because it costs $47.99 w/ Amazon Prime.
Those skins are shit anyway
>>337084962
Oh sweet I have prime too. I heard the pre order bonus of the widow maker skin doesn't come with it though :/
Nobody is going to notice your special snowflake skins when they blew you away, anon.
>>337084140
Shit game from shit company.
>>337085186
It says right on the the Amazon page for the Origins Edition
>Pre-order Overwatch, and get access to the Noire Widowmaker Skin. Valid while supplies last. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.
So I guess don't buy it from some shady seller?
Just isolating those five skins, any neanderthal can do the math and realize that each of them is worth 4 dollars since you are paying an extra $20 on top of the standard $40 dollar price. Now ask yourself this, since you don't play any of the other Blizz games and you don't care about the other shit you get with the Origins Edition, is 4 dollars per skin worth it to you? For me, no it isn't, so I didn't preorder.
>>337084140
Don't buy it at all and continue to support Blizzards Kikery the game is mediocre at best.
No, it's only worth if you play Hots tb.h because you get Tracer. Cosmetics alone are dumb.
>>337084962
>>337085186
>>337085386
Just a PSA: if you preorder with Amazon Prime you get 6 skins and all the other game goodies for $8.00...not bad
>>337084140
This is just false scarcity. Blizzard is going to add so many skins and the origin skins will be worthless. I don't care if they're gold rarity now. There's going to be some new level or rarity and some skin that everyone covets in the future. Blizz isn't about to let you only get once chance to buy a rare skin. Right now they're rare and people want them. In the future nobody will care and they'll want $20 for some other skins. Just let it go and save your money.
>>337084140
the bastion skin is ok, but the rest are dogshit.
WAIT DOES THIS MEAN REAPER IS A NIGGER?
>>337085963
Yes, those skins of Soldier 76 and Reaper are from when they were young and before they sustained their injuries.
Do the skins honestly look that amazing?
Even if they do, how long do you think they'll remain that way after the first week or two of you and everyone else running around in them?
>>337085963
Edgy McEdgerton is actually Mexican
>>337084140
OP, I spent the extra 20 solely for the Soldier 76 skin
I don't regret it
Those aren't even their best skins, except maybe Tracer. That slipstream is pretty fresh.
>>337084140
I'm doing it because 76 and Reaper's look pretty good
>>337086150
Proof? He looks like a nignog to me
how's the australian playerbase for this shit?
>>337084140
please dont support preorder bonuses
or cosmetic dlc
>>337086358
>Reyes
>>337086358
>people with skin darker than pale are black
>>337086623
>He didnt buy the Original Edition
Stay poor faggot
>>337084140
I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to upgrade to origins edition after the game comes out. Only thing you miss out on by not preordering is that widowmaker noire skin and widowmaker a shit anyway.
>>337086786
I don't play any other Blizzard games why would I pay an extra $20 for cosmetics?
>>337086997
You can get them for an extra $8 on amazon
>>337086786
>paying $20 for 5 skins
>>337084340
fuck off shill
>>337087016
I just wandered in, what's this about 8 dollar origin shit?
>>337086358
>Proof
He's from LA.
That should be proof enough that he's mexican
>>337084140
It's not a pre order. You could buy it later.
>>337087209
If you have prime, the Origins edition is only $48. I actually got it for $43 because they gave me a $5 gift card for using their phone app.
My Amazon Prime says its still 60 for Origins.
Where's this eight dollar deal shit. Disposable income, away!
>>337087296
oh my, sounds nice, sucks I'll get bogged down with all the other blizz shit but 3 dollars for top cunt tracer, not grandpa 76, and bastion is pretty good.
>Tracer
>"origin" skin
>still not a shitskin
Pretty inaccurate of what the future of London will look tbbh
>>337085412
Yeah, support FromSoftware's kikery instead.
I can't even use the skins in the beta
>>337087060
>being this poor
Holy shit my sides!
>>337087775
On mine it's a tiny blue box.
Thanks either way
IF you gona pay for it please don't pay the full price.
>>337088367
>preorder key
That went so well for dark souls, right? You also don't get the widowmaker preoreder skin
>>337088472
>That went so well for dark souls, right?
What? For me it did. What happened?
Is that a marathon skin for Pharah?
It's alright if you buy from best buy with GCU.
$48 + $10 in best buy rewards back.
>>337084140
If you have Amazon Prime, it's only $8 more than the regular.
>>337084424
Yup. You can unlock them through loot boxes, or you can shell out an extra 20 bucks and get them with some other stuff for Diablo III, Starcraft II, and Heroes of the Storm.
Frankly, I'd just drop the 40 bucks and work your way through the game till you unlock the skins. Also, future maps and heroes are all free. So unless you really really want the digital extras, there's no point.
>>337089879
The Origins skins can't be obtained from the lootboxes in game.
>>337084140
>if I become really obsessed with this game
le greedy merchant strikes again.
Next year, when you turn 16 years old, you might learn to simply see if you want something before you buy it.
>>337084140
you will never use them once the dlc skins come out
How good of a pc do I need to play this? My 3 year oldMSI laptopcould run skyrim on ultra back in the day, and even though that's not much of a milestone, is it good enough to run this game at shit graphics but somewhat high fps? I really want to play it, but fuck buying it on a console.
>>337087775
>>337088367
Why not just get the $40 edition from blizzard
>>337090561
It doesn't come with the skins
>>337090501
If you could play Skyrim on Ultra, then you will have no problem running Overwatch. A literal toaster can play it.
>>337084140
>what if I become really obsessed with this game and regret not paying an extra $20 for the skins?
That's not an issue, all Blizzard games allow you to pay the difference and upgrade your edition.
You can pay $40 now, become obsessed and drop the $20 later to upgrade.
>>337090561
Just to get the extra skins and shit, you also get shit for other games if you play it, like mercy wings for D3 and things like that.
Of course if you don't care about those things the 40 bucks version is more than enough.
I think if you can get the 60 one for a little more than 40 is a good deal.
Are they unlockable in-game anyways or preorder exclusive?
>>337084140
Look at them as $4 a skin. Is that really worth it?I preordered origins skin but I probably shouldn't have.
>>337090806
They're version exclusive. You can still buy the origins edition post launch but you can't buy the skins in game. Only the widowmaker skin is preorder exclusive.
>>337084140
>skins
>for a game in a perspective where you can't even see your character
Fucking why?
>>337084140
sure
i got a physical copy of it for $50
>>337090672
Nice
>>337090883
Ah that kind of sucks. I only like a couple of them and it seems a little over the top to fork out 20 for just the twoAlso I have never played the game and haven't bought it, I'm just a slut for customization
>>337090885
Highlights, emotes, and victory screens
skins are ruining video games
and my life
>>337090929
The open beta doesn't end for another 12 hours. Why not download it and see for yourself if you can run it?
>>337084140
for the extra $20 price you can get some good game, not some shitty TF2 clone that will go f2p in 1-2 years
>>337084140
you forgot the widowmaker skin as well. Also being that every single character up their is top tier you might as well.
Also, with amazon you can get it for $48 if you have prime.
>>337088472
>You also don't get the widowmaker preoreder skin
Of course you do, are you retarded?
Might as well put that $30 to a key for Battleborn to hedge your bets on which one dies first.
>>337084140
dont worry, they arent even the collest skins so odds are you'll never use them once you unlock the skins you really want for them
>>337088472
>You also don't get the widowmaker preoreder skin
>>337091515
Do you have any delusions of Battleborn not being 100% garbage?
>>337084140
Not really worth it. Maybe if they gave the skins different voice overs or animations. But hearing an old man talking when he looks like a young stud is just fucked up.
>>337091581
>>337091474
they're going to buy the key at lauch and you won't get the skin. cdkeys is notorious for this shit
>>337089879
>>337089996
Also there is no $40 version of the game. Origins edition skins are basically preorder/prepurchase bonuses.
>>337091520
>Soldier76 skin is arguably his best skin
>Only non-edgy Reaper skin
>Only skin that covers Tracer's anorexia
Yeah, nah
>>337091719
>Also there is no $40 version of the game
>>337091719
What? Yes, there is if you purchase from Blizzard directly.

He's probably a consolecuck.
Thanks to their platform requiring a large royalty of game sales, they don't get a $40 version. It's $60 only
>>337088787
That's what I'm thinking. Security armor in halo was the Marathon armor right?
>>337084140
Eh, only if you really like those skins and those characters in particular and plan on using them often, otherwise, just go for 40 version, at least if you preorder it you get the noire skin if that's what you want.

This is some scary shit. That is not worth a game.

He's an American in the near future. He's part of the blaxican majority.

>>337090885
Some change your gun viewmodels if you're into that, plus there's victory screens and Potg
>no dude there's no one shilling overwatch on /v/
>mfw reading this thread
So who else is looking forward to the thirdworlders and children only trying it because it's free never being able to play again?
>>337092528
Move out of your parent's, then. I don't care about all the spam going to my apartment from last year.
