you guys are so retarded, it's like they don't know Blizzard post WoW
>>338663152
Is $40 full price now? And we also shit on entirely cosmetic micro transactions? Game's pretty fun, homie, you can enjoy it and still shit on the dumb faggots who buy that garbage.
>>338662980
Hurry da heck up
>>338663272
>its okay when TF2 does it
>>338663281
just cosmetics and spray paints, aka op is a retard
>>338663283
Are you retarded ? It's not even like buying a Hearthstone booster. You get those by playing AND it's only cosmetic.
>>338663283
the funny thing is. Blizzard not only abuses micro transactions, they have really high prices on them.
I mean fuck, $40 for some loot? thats more than both Witcher 3 expansions combined.
>>338662980
This has been known for months.
>>338662980
What's the problem? The game is F2P!
>>338662980
It's optional you stupid fuck and do yourself a favor and buy one because unlike other games you have a higher chance at getting a rare skin than you would on dota or tf2
>>338663283
I don't believe they ever said this just that heros weren't microtransactions
anyone who believes there wouldnt MTs are retarded
>>338663406
What? No it isnt okay. TF2 is shit as well.

ITT : poorfags
>there are people who actually did not expect this after seing how loot boxes worked basically like hearthstone card packs and were progressively harder to get in the beta
>>338664076
They're all random and you get repeats all the time insetead of gradually collecting everything. There are tons of dull voice lines to unlock and most of the sprays are locked to each character. Worse is that the vast majority of skins for each character are just low-effort recolors and the actually good looking recolors cost over twice as much.
>ingame cash shop after you already bought the game
This is the future you chose, blizzcucks
>implying that's bad
it's actually pretty generous, for the same price in hearthstone you only get 40 packs
For the record did anyone actually expect something like this to NOT be in a Blizzard game?

No nigger this has been known for fucking MONTHS.
Overwatch is too simple. Let me explain:
I'll just ignore the obvious 'ultimates that rape everybody on screen and require no skill to use other than timing' and go a little deeper.
A nice way to do this is look at the TF2 counter parts.
Tracer = Scout: positioning doesn't matter for her, doesn't need to rely on moving intelligently to dodge attacks when she has a blink ability and a literal 'press this button to undo your fuck-up', also aiming is easy as shit with your only one weapon choice (not including ultimate).
Torj = Engineer: has only ONE building to manage which gets upgraded to max level 5 seconds. Resource management on him is virtually non-existent compared to the TF2 Engineer, all you use it for in Overwatch is the one upgrade for your one building and shitting out armour for teammates, repairing and building the sentry is free.
Pharah = Soldier: You don't need any skill in rocket jumping, you have a button that does it for you on top of being able to hover / ascend moreso with a jetpack. Your rocket has 6 rockets loaded and are much easier to hit than Soldier's. It's also your only weapon other than that displacing shot.
Junkrat = Demoman: Your explosives have an overly generous AOE and are easier to hit anyway, you can only place one remote mine every 8 seconds for jumping or damaging enemies and you have an immobilizing trap if aiming becomes too difficult.
Mercy = Medic: Has a Medigun and Kritzkrieg in one, can literally revive teammates she fails at healing with her ult and the only other thing she can do is shoot people with a pistol. The flying ability to stay glued to teammates is bretty cool though.
>tf2 and csgo cuc.ks already this jelly they're trying to change the goalposts
>>338662980
>literally cs:go and tf2 all over again
Jesus christ my sides
>>338664384
The worst part is that you only get rewards normally by leveling up. Even though your account level doesn't mean anything but time played, it costs more and more exp every level. When you start you get a reward every couple games, then every couple hours, then maybe one a day if you play tons of Overwatch.

Which is what you'd do without microtransactions, theres just an option to buy it if you want to rush it (Waste but whatever).

Oh and don't do this to yourselves, but do NOT go watch people playing this on twitch. They're already tryharding in full premade teams barking locations and ult usages like they're in a tournament and it's day 1.
These games are meant to attract the retarded tryhard dudebros and it's done that perfectly.
>>338664427
i don't think we're talking about the same things. A bullet hell is a top down style of game where you have to dodge projectiles and fire back your own to advance through stages/bosses. What the fuck are you talking about? This is a semi-strategic semi-twitchy team based objective multiplayer first person shooter.

>BUT IT'S A P2P GAME

It's shitty of them, but it's just pointless cosmetics anyway. If at some point they start charging for new maps or heroes I'll be upset.
Don't plan on buying overwatch but this seems fine as long as they aren't charging for upgrades or characters

That's not viral marketing, it's just regular marketing and yes they blew a lot of money into it from the looks of it. But so did other games, such as Dark Souls 3, they have sent out planet tickets, hotel bookings, etc just to market their game in a circle where 80% do not even represent any public figures. It's a waste of money to be honest

bro, people were standing next to tracer and having somebody take their pic next to the huge tracer box thing. so they could upload it to instagram or facebook or some shit. They literally had a little ramp you could walk up to so you could stand next to it. How is that not viral marketing?
Just bought 50 :)
Do the loot boxes affect the gameplay? Serious question.
>>338663272
>>338663272
I give it 3 months before everyone knows it's shit.
Of course by then the will have shilled it so hard that they can't stop playing without looking stupid, and will continue playing a game they don't like for the sole purpose of showing everyone else how much they enjoy it.
Screencap this, August 2016 is when we will see a second explosion of threads shilling the fuck out of the game
>>338665268
You can only get it from lootboxes, and it's only a chance item, like everything else. So you can get "25" currency maybe. Protip: the skins average 500 a pop.

The whole point was that there wouldn't have been a cash shop because you're buying it and getting all the cosmetic shit for free
But now there's a cash shop, so what's the justification for the price tag anymore
>>338665741
That tagline doesn't explicitly state 'microtransactions', it says 'optional content' which describes what a CE is pretty accurately.
