Whats your excuse for not getting the physical copy? You literally get it on Monday before server goes live and you save $10 from amazon

Physical copies usually contain a small five page manual (or just a double sided sheet) and a disc which may or may not contain the data of the game which is only the 1.0 version.

Overwatch is only about 10 gigs large and can be preloaded. Sites selling keys are also offering it at a lower price than that for the Origins edition.

Well I bought it after playing a few hours in beta, this is the first game I played that I literally spent time convincing my friends to play it, but there already saying the same things.

Im literally having withdrawal from not playing this fucking game.

Honestly shit posting games I have not played I feel regret for doing, I thought this /v/ not playing vidya was a myth.

This game is going to pan out just like Destiny did. Have you all forgotten which company Blizzard is now attached to?

You'll get a shit game with shit graphics that runs on toasters with literally 8 maps, no other game modes, and $5 'cosmetic' DLC.

Soon, they'll release an expansion that will fragment the playerbase and will cost $30 which is almost as much as the digital copy of the game in the first place.

Mark my words. You could just play Team Hats 2 for free.
>>
>>337992083
>Blizzard releasing mandatory expansion packs
Gee. They don't have a long history of doing this or anything. Literally no one thinks this is going to happen!

Seriously though, they said all future heroes and maps would be free. Of course we don't believe that.
>>
WHY IS THIS GAME BEING SHILLED SO MUCH ON /v/! FUCK OFF SHILLS
>>
>>337992536
Because those who have played it are now obsessed with it and going through withdrawal. Probably about a month more of constant threads and then it'll settle a bit.
>>
>>337990227
because taco bell gives out the digital version
>>
>>337990227
it's a crappy game that doesn't even have dedicated servers

I still have it installed. Why would I buy a physical copy?
>>
>>337992961
So that you can put it on your shelf and admire it then think about tossing it when you go to move next time because your landlord raised the rent too damn high but you don't really want to take the boxes of shit you've collected over the years to your new place since you never take them out of the boxes anyway.
>>
>>337992961
if you're like me, who is a huge faggot about physical copies you'd actually like to physically own the things you buy.
>>
>>337990227

Because Im not paying $60 for TF2 dead in a year boogaloo.

>>337990227
Because if the network is fucking up, it won't matter if it's physical or digital.

Because I got a digital version of Origins Edition for $35.

not falling for blizzard shill marketing

I really want to buy this but I'm fucking garbage.
The only hero I can play is mcree because he has 2 guaranteed kill buttons.
>>
>>337992536
There are a lot of blizzard fans and the game is pretty polished. It's extremely shallow but a lot of people don't really care.
>>
okay thanks

amazon doesn't even sell the 40 dollar version

>>337994864
Try a hero not focused on aiming well? Mercy, Tojdborn, Reinhart?
>>
>>337995006
But I want to kill people.
>>
>>337992083
But the game has 12 or 14 cant remember maps. They already said they will not charge for maps/heros/gameplay but yes they will sell cosmetic random boxes which you can unlock in game through lvl ups.
>>
>>337995608

Mei.
>>
>>337990227
Because I don't want to fill up my house with pointless cases. My PC doesn't even have a DVD drive anyway because it's not worth the $15 for something I'd never have a good reason to use.
>>
>>337990227
my excuse is im a faggot. Im sorry anon i was too busy sucking cocks to get a physical copy! please forgive me!
>>
How do I get it before release? I chose free shipping but it wasn't clear if I would get it before release, and I'm afraid I'm going to get it late rthan the release date.

How do you get $10 off a physical copy? I was on Amazon and it was full price.

Who's still using disks ? My computer hasn't had a disk drive one for at least a few years now.

I don't have a dvd player on my PC

the digital version is superior because I can access it from where ever on what ever computer I want

because I don't want another space filler

What's the point of that?
>>
>>337998435
It was kind of a last minute decision for people to be able to download the game/run to the store and get it, and just play the next day without worrying about having to set it up.
>>
>>337998435
That's changed. Devs said on twitter game will now go up the evening of the 23rd.

I did just a few hours ago.

Physical is literally worthless on PC, it's still limited to a single activation that cannot be transferred.
>>
>>337996378
do you have prime? the discount only appears at checkout (I assume it applies to PC games as well, I've only ever used it for PS4/Bone games)

They still make PC physical games?
Who still even has a disk drive anymore?

You saved nothing, unless the new price is $70.
>>
>>337999639

It's actually $48 for the Origins Edition with a prime account. It's weird that they don't show that on the page but that's what I paid so it's fine.
>>
>>337998435
It was originally so physical customers on console could preload for the midnight unlock, but then the devs announced the servers were going live at 4PM PT
>>
>>337999238
>>337999574
Free and free from grinding are different.
Do you get them instantly or do i need to pay with time?
>>
>>337999871
>It's weird that they don't show that on the page but that's what I paid so it's fine.
You screen shotted it and thought it was okay to post, how can you say it is weird now, rather than referencing how odd it was when you posted it?
>>
>>337990227
I wish more companies let retails sell copies one or two days before
It's big kick in the balls when you want physical version but you would need to wait until mail guy deliver it to you ~13hours after release
>>
>>337999901
No one knows, but my money is on instantly. With how insistent they are on hero switching they really don't want to restrict someone's choice in heroes.

That's a maybe. The last few things I ordered off Amazon I got 2 days after the game was released and I have prime.
>>
>>338000068
How are they instant on it? And why wouldn't they wan't to restrict their choices? If restricting it makes them cash, were not talking about fun.
>>
>>337990227
>paying $20 more for skins

nah
>>
>>338000013

Because it's all shown in the OP

that you save 3 cents by preordering?

no thanks, shills please go

There won't be any unlockable heroes or maps, only skins
