>Overwatch costs 70 fucking dollarydoos
How can they justify this for a TF2 clone?
>>337897759
>TF2 clone?
please
TF2 has more content
>>337897759
If you had ordered it on G2A a week or two ago it would have been 59 Ausland Funbux. Then they upped the price to $77 for no fucking reason.
minimum wage in your country is like a billion dollars an hour stop fucking complaining
>>337897914
dont imply anyone who plays videogames knows about global economics
>>337897759
THAT'S A BLOODY OUTRAGE THAT IS, BETTER TAKE IT UP WITH THE PRIME MINISTA
>>337897812
>TF2 has more content
yeah, bronie maps galore and degenerate fan base.
Maybe if you guys weren't all either aborigine mongaloids or exiled criminals you could get started on a functioning currency
>>337897914
out dollar is also weak as shit compared to the us dollar (mainly because we exported literally everything and sold all out shit to china)
>>337897914
>muh minimum wage
Americans have less expenses and more disposable income
>>337897759
ayy lmao with the current conversion rate of dollar-aud it should cost 55 AUD. nice country
>>337897914
>tfw you make more taking a shit than Americuks do working for an hour.
Feels fucking amazing.
>>337897759
Once upon a time TF2 cost money as well.

so waifus and e-sport quips is more serious?
>>337898092
>and sold all out shit to china
That would explain your entry in Eurovision.
>>337898164
If you played the beta you would know it's a very enjoyable game.
>>337898246
i did
it got boring on day 3
TF2 was fun for 8 years
>>337897812
it might get more content if you look at other games blizzard made

fucked up multiculturalism where if you go to any of these "multicultural" places no one speaks english
sold our steel to china
instead of making clean power for the nation (excluding h20 vapour) we sold out radioactive shit.
we get in eurovision
???
It's not Blizzard's fault you live in fucking Australia of all places.
It should cost even more for you homos.
>>337898420
Their money is weaker.
>>337898507
Did you forget about benefits for the gasoline huffing ape abos.
>>337897759
TF2 was $50 USD bundled with the orange box at launch and if you were dumb enough to play on console that was the only way to get it. I think you could buy it stand alone for 20.
TF2 at launch had 6 maps with 9 classes and had only standard loadouts for quite awhile.
Overwatch has 12 maps and 21 heroes.
Stop being poor.
>>337897812
TF2 has been out for almost 9 years see my point above.
In kangaroodollars it is.
>>337898610
Its weaker and the game should cost 55aud but they also have some meme tax on it that adds 15 more to the price
>>337898625
aboriginal history is barely history

Your minimum wage is high, while your dollar is shit and weak. What the fuck do you expect? Do you not understand what risk is in a global market? The fact that they're accepting the AUD and not USD is something you should be happy about. There's a reason why most online retailers do not want you to pay in AUD.
>>337897759
This is the real debate right here.
I'm still trying to justify buying it. It's so goddamn fun. WHY haven't any other games matched its appeal? I've played TF2, COD, BF, Gunz, but for some reason this one was so damn fun, even without any friends.
>>337898663
It was a rip off when it was released, your point is moot.
>>337899000
there is alot of other games that are pure ripoffs to tf2 than overwatch
>>337899119
the grammar... i fuckin... no...
i meant there are alot of rippoffs to tf2 that looks like tf2 and overwatch is not tf2, classes yes but i dont see how you can take a turret jumping engie or an invisble spy and compare that to a jetpack flying sand nigger
>>337898369
Abbos are too dumb to be useful slaves.
They break open pipelines in search for petrol and sleep on roads.

S-should I buy it? It was fun as fuck in open beta.
>>337897759
this is punishment for shitposting on /pol/ straya.
deal with it
>>337899342
When you say "average salary", do you mean per week? Month? Year? Decade? Lifetime?

If by clone you mean complete and total upgrade, then yes, I will be dropping $70 on that. The beta was the most fun I've had with a shooter in years
>>337899435

>>337897759

funny thing we can outspend you on videogames after food/bills/bus ticket
it's just that spending this much on videogame feels very wrongmy guess he is from russia as well
>>337899634
Prob Russia/Ukraine or some CIS shithole like that.
>>337897759
Not Blizzard's fault your country is garbage.
>>337899000
My point is not moot because that is exactly the point I was trying to make. People bought TF2 for full price (including me) when it came out and it had way less content than overwatch does. People are only riding on the fact TF2 is f2p for these threads now when it definitely was not at launch.
>>337898325
I didn't play the beta, but I will get the game because at least 5 friends are getting it. But what you just said is what lots of anons are saying, they say you can master each character in a few hours.
Also, Team Fortess 2 is still fun to play, literally how?
>>337898151

Because its either vote third party just to spite them or vote for Turnbull or Shorten.
Or get a fine.
>>337900891
Yes they'll never get in but voting third party just adds a few more steps into the process to fuck with them. Its petty but it makes me feel a bit better.

The ONLY thing that really bugs me about Overwatch - other than the retard players, I'm talking actual game faults - is Tracer's VA fucking SUCKS but Americans absolutely cannot tell because they find accents impenetrable.
>>337902107
Which is my point. Its not realistic so it can throw as many women as it wants onto the frontline. It apparently has no problem throwing monkeys.
>>337902103
Open "beta" with 5 other friends says otherwise.

I'm not saying her accent isn't legitimate you utter tosspot, I'm saying her acting is fucking AWFUL.
Not to mention the writer's disgustingly out of place and overdone use of "cheers, love" towards no one, thanking nothing.
>>337902449
One of the upcoming new characters is rumored to be Pharas mom, who could be classed as Support Sniper.
>>337902584
Her acting is fine, no worse than anyone else in the game.

Are they still a thing?
>>337901171
Better than overwatch by far.
>>337898970
Here in NZ games come out at $119 in retail stores, it's fucking bullshit. The minimum wage here is like $15.20 or something, they just increased it, but we still pay out the ass for fucking everything. Milk here is like 2 for $6.00 at best.
What is it like else where? I've literally never given a shit about other countries or their economy, but now I'm a little curious. It's like an 8 hour working day for us to get the new DOOM for instance, gimme something to compare that to.
>>337902996
The vast majority of /v/ is absolutely terrible at videogames.
A shooter like overwatch where the game half plays itself is perfect for the average /v/ player. It even has lots of shiny flashing messages stroking their cock every 3 seconds.
>>337902996
You haven't figured it out already that most of /v/ is actually casuals who spend more time shitposting than actually playing vidya?
>>337899327
Apparently, the reason they sleep on the road is to avoid ticks. Checks out.
>>337903238
Minimum wage is $10/hr in most places in America. Brand new AAA titles like Doom are $60
A lot is taken out in taxes, so it's basically an eight hour day to buy video games here too. Of course, much cheaper if you're in the higher bracket of wages and earning $20-$30 an hour.
>>337902996
/v/ is casual, you should know this by now. The only reason /v/ pretends otherwise is to try and look cool.
>>337902996
back in 2007 or so /v/ had like 15 non shit posters. Now it's down to 2. It didn't help that /v/ got raided by reddit fags.

You know just because a VA lives in the country or state of origin doesn't mean their accent will be good. Hollywood intentionally makes Southern accents hamfisted as fuck so people can be amused and they force real Southern actors to used their outdated and fake accent.

Eastern european here.
Minimum wage is $60 a month, but I work for $200 (which is average for the country, I think)
AAA games are $30 at best and regular $60 at worst
>>337903238
$119 NZD is about $80 USD. Games here in USA cost about $60 USD, which would equate to around $90 NZD.
Minimum wage here is around $9/hr. which would be somewhere near $13 NZD.
Basically, your games are more expensive relative to your wages. But if google is anything to go by, then here in NYC, we still pay the most for rent, electricity, water, and food.
In the entire world.
