its literally just cosmetics and sprays, theres 0 incentive to actually buy them, unless youre a shitkid who cant wait to naturally unlock something.
Sure in a game like dota its more acceptable, you can actually buy a specific set from the store, since you dont get a box every level up. but overwatch gives a box every level, and it only takes like 1-2 games per level, in a stack, for the first 30~ levels, so you basically get 30 boxes FOR JUST PLAYING THE GAME!!!

Who cares about what effect it does. You don't need to gamble for a content. You're already pay for this when you buy the fucking game.

I really can't believe they managed to sell this to you idiots. Loot boxes are typically what propel these games and yet they managed to get $40 to boot despite having a lengthy open beta that exposed the game as being shallow and content-free
They only get away with this because they're blizzard and they probably have a 100+ million dollar advertising campaign. This is a non-game as far as I'm concerned. It's just more F2P garbage that a bloated company decided to slap a price tag on because no one is going to stop them

They are literally to buy stuff you can earn for free.
Purely cosmetic items.
Every time you level up you get a loot crate, loot crates contain skins etc
You can decided to be a fucking mongrel and pay for loot crates if you wish
Paying for loot crates gives you no I game advantage at all
These threads are pretty pathetic.

>microtransactions ree
Stop. Your gameplay is not affected in the LEAST if you abstain from microtransactions. All that extra revenue from retards who REALLY CARE about coloring their cartoon character a different shade will also pay for the new maps and heroes that will come out for FREE.
It's either that or paid dlc losers. Now shut up and play the fucking game before we find out just how many of your fingers will fit up my ass
>>338690783
It's cosmetic progression skipping transactions for cashcows.
You dont get mad at blizzard for selling VIRTUAL PACKS in A CHILDRENS CARD GAME so that you can forge better decks and actually be competitive at the game
The crates literally does nothing for your character except let you dress up different from the other 6 heroes.
You get a crate every single time you level up, so its literally impossible to not be getting loot from the game if you just fucking play, instead of sitting on your ass and complaining like a nigger that you spent $140 and didnt get 1 skin, out of a pool of about 1, for 1 hero, out of a pool of 21, on a 1/4 chance to get a skin from the box
1/10
1/21
1/4
Go do the math on that and see how likely you are to get the EXACT THING YOU WANT from your box and how much youre gonna pay for that.
Or dont do calculations and play the game and dont spend more money because its literally optional.

Well, it's the microtransactions and the fact we've been playing the full game for weeks now, suddenly it's $40 with absolutely no additional content or incentive.
>>338691182
>It's either that or paid dlc losers.
You are such a naive sucker. Either that or you're a shill, I wonder which is better...
Please name me the Blizzard expansion pack that has been free. Oh right, there isn't one.
And they lied about microtransactions, what makes you think they're not going to be charging for new characters and maps? Because they *said* so? Hahaha, sure.
They got you into the door. They said what they needed to say and now that they have you, they're going to rape every orifice of your body until you suck it up and leave, something that will be difficult to do now that you wasted $40 already.
This should be illegal and yet you're defending them. You are the worst type of human garbage.
>>338691248
>>338691483
>we've been playing the full game for weeks now
Were people really expecting more? Like a campaign or something? Because I've been saying this for fucking weeks. I got tired of the fucking beta. I can't believe people actually thought the real game would be something more substantial.
You're all complete fucking morons.
>>338691448
>Man you're a retard and Blizzard is taking people like you for a ride.
No, youre the retard
I havent bought a chest and will never buy a chest.
You fucking moron, if you actually read the post, maybe you'd notice that ITS ALL COSMETIC compared to hearthstone where you have to pay TO ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME
In HS you get 5 cards per pack.
WotG had 134 cards.
It's entirely possible to get 5 of the same card in 1 pack
It's entirely possible to get the same card twice, but one of them be golden.
It's entirely possible to get 5 legendaries.
these cards are actually used to improve your deck
the packs you open in overwatch do NOTHING
its NOTHING
its OPTIONAL
you can play competitive hearthstone without buying PACKS to get CARDS or DUST
You CAN play competitive OVERWATCH because the packs are PURELY COSMETIC you thick skulled retard
>>338688535
Good game, that's an opinion there friend.
wh yoiu have to be mad?
>>338691572
>charging money for useless palette swaps is literally rape
Not sure why you're getting so mad there pal. Is your gameplay experience really that hampered by cosmetic microtransactions?
Companies like making money. You still have the agency to make your own choices on how to spend your cash. And, buddy, literally every. single. thing. can be unlocked by playing the game normally.
>>338691842
I know there are worse games out there. I'm also aware that you have an awfully skewed sense of consumer principles. You clearly don't understand what's wrong with the optional/they don't have any gameplay affect argument. You're not worth bothering with any further.

The game's commercials are literally just a CGI cinematic showing off the personality of the characters. Here is a little something you learn if you ever work in the industry: Marketing teams are shit, but if even they don't have faith in the actual GAME part of your videogame, it's probably shit.

It's blizzards way of milking the addicts with no self control. Dumbasses like OP will shell out 100 dollars for the experience of rolling the dice on some cosmetics 100 times. They have a legit problem with addiction, and blizzard has never had any qualms making money off retard addicts with no life, especially since it works so well.
>>338689327
It's just random cosmetic items and animations that you can normally get by playing matches, a lot matches.

You fell for the Activision-Blizzard trap.
1) Make good trailers
2) Hype the game
3) release the product thats sub-par.
4) Run with the money or stay and milk microtransactions until they cow gets angry, thnen run.
Overwatch will NEVER survive without user made skins, and user made mods, dedicated server hosting.
These things kept TF2 alive with crazy modes, and a cosmetic treadmill of content production the makers of the game didn't have to touch.
This thing won't last the month.
Another decent game foiled by Activision-Blizzard's greed/policies about no LAN, NO mods, NO anything.
Dota 2 left such a scar on them that they literally stopped allowing mods lmao.
>>338692137
Thats not going to happen.
Blizzard dont nickle and dime segregate the community.
they'll release a DLC/Expansion in 1-2 years for like $15/$20 with something like 5 heroes 3 maps bunch of free skins
>>338692561
COD has survived fine without custom shit, so has Battlefield and plenty of other online games. That's not necessarily a good thing but it's still a thing.
>>338692190
Nah, I get that people might not like it. I'm saying the high schoolers on /v/ are always at the ready to shit on anything fun, especially if it's mainstream.

You cant go to Draenor without WoD, or to Northrend without WoTLK
Thats how expansions work, but theyre years apart, so people can afford them, rather than paying $10 every 2 months like CoD did for maps, which you actually cant play in lobbies and get kicked from.
>>338692578

It's what they're best at? D3 was basically unplayable without RoS, and RoS basically just turned D3 into what it always should have been. They basically sold you the same game twice

>>338693005
Adventure mode is exclusive to the expansion.
Nobody plays anything that isn't adventure mode because it's a waste of time.
If you want to play end-game D3 online, you have to own the expansion because Actiblizzion segregated the community with the expansion.
>>338693839
WoW expansions dont segregate the community because literally nobody doesnt get the expansions, people are just paying for the development cost of creating entirely new zones, art assets (sometimes) and game/lore writing.
If expansions were a yearly thing I could see where you're coming from, but theyre purposely spread out so theyre affordable and so people dont complain
TBC World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade — first expansion, released 16 January 2007
WotLK World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King — second expansion, released 13 November 2008
Cataclysm World of Warcraft: Cataclysm — third expansion, released 7 December 2010
MoP World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria — fourth expansion, released 25 September 2012
WoD World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor — fifth expansion, released 13 November 2014
Legion World of Warcraft: Legion — sixth expansion, announced 6 August 2015, to be released 30 August 2016
SC2 is the same, the games were all staggered and added masses of content and story. Although SC2 did segregate the community, because it completely changed and ruined the competitive scene for the game, but it was a dying game already.
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty July 27, 2010
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm March 12, 2013
StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void November 10, 2015
HoTS is just a stupid wanna-be riot system and is fucking stupid, I admit that, and I wont defend it, because it was literally shovelware to buy time between Hearthstone and Overwatch releases.
>>338687705
Kill yourself nigger, go back to CSGO garbage and TF2 bronies.
>>338694497
>but theyre purposely spread out so theyre affordable and so people dont complain
That's not how game development works. People don't spread out DLC to make them "affordable."
Why don't people understand that you already bought the game. You should have access to everything the game have to offer. If you want to do microtransactions, why the fuck is it 40 fucking dollars in the first place? Microtransactions are only for free games that you didn't spend 40$ to just play.
>>338694403
The game without the expansion goes to level 60, thats it.
With the expansions you have new zones and the level cap is increased by 10, then also paragon levels with go into the thousands.
It's literally a whole new game.
Nobody plays D3 without the expansion, and if they do, theyre in an EXTREME minority and are probably not intending ever to spend money on the game because they got it for free with the WoWpass or something
>microtransactions on p2p game are okay
>still complain when the industry crash and burn
>>338694106
none of that matters now because I like their new game, so it's all forgiven, and i never said anything bad about blizzard ever :^)
>>338694639
> Yes it segregates the community, but it doesn't count! ;-;
>>338694546
I dont mean thats the entire reason theyre spread out.
If blizzard WANTED to pump out an expansion every year, they could, but its gonna be shit quality and people would quickly stop buying it and stop playing the game because its progressing too quick.
with the current timescale blizzard uses, you get the base game with 2-3 raids, then another tier of raid content, then 1-2 more tiers dungeon/raid content. its a formula.
Meanwhile, theres another team working on getting the next expansion ready for 2 years time from release, so the current expansion story can actually flourish and be told, because its with an "rpg" after all.
>>338694586
>>338694668
You can all thank to CSGO.
>>338694881
>but its gonna be shit quality and people would quickly stop buying it and stop playing the game because its progressing too quick.
except that's literally what happened
>complete content too fast
>suddenly people whine the expansion didn't have enough
Literally happened on past mmos, such as everquest. There is no reason to give sympathy to Activision Blizzard here.
>>338694826
oh no I have to pay to play the expansion that came out years after im such a fucking poorfag that I cant belive this happens
People with a brain: Bad game is bad
OW fans: lol friendless loser
>>338694826
Reaper of Souls came out 2 years ago
Anyone who wanted to play RoS wouldve done so by now.
RoS is literally $10 at this point, and if people are refusing to pay that, then theyre segregating THEMSELVES, the game isnt segregating them
Theyre actively choosing to NOT upgrade to have 2 full games with 1 brand title.
>>338693839
So you have a problem with expacs? Why? They have been around since forever. And blizzard has always given good value for the buck with them.
D3 hasn't had the AH in years.
HotS "pay for good heroes so you can win" model doesn't exist. Most of the best heroes are practically free, and while some new heroes are great, about half of them have been mediocre at best. You don't need to spend any money to stay competitive at all.
Hearthstone is garbage though, sure. But that is mostly a matter of quests being near impossible to complete unless you have an almost complete cardpool already.
>>338695025
>I AM SILLY!!!1
>>338694967
>except that's literally what happened
Yeah, blizzard are cutting all ties with WoD and focusing on legion full time now because they know WoD was a failure.
Other expansions were never this low prod quality and blizzard know that, so theyre focusing on Legion now, because during WoD half of the team was sucked away with some Overwatch development, but now that OW is out and ready, they can focus on Legion and drop WoD like the dead child it is.

Invalid arguments, none of them have the mountain of bullshit that Bastion has.
somehow the people i get in the game now are worse than the open beta kids.
>>338695715
Genji reflects bastion damage and kills him in 1 reflect activate
Hanzo outranges bastion and gets FREE HEADSHOTS
tracer can dodge the bullets and backtrack the damage to easily flank him
reindhardt can walk up to him with shield up and charge him into a wall
junkrat can trap him, then boost him for an instant kill, or just martyrdom him
roadhog can hook him and kill him with 2 blasts of the shotgun
pharah can fire her arm rocket and regular rockets, while flying above his aim
mei can block him with the icewall, or place the wall under him to elevate him and make him an easier target

If Blizzard decides that doing something will make them more money than it will cost them in consumer butthurt (which it always will because the endless Blizzdrone hordes gladly and happily buy whatever shit Blizzard pinches out), they will fucking sell you whatever the hell they feel like.

Reminder that the hatred for the PS4 is completely unjustified and is just /v/ wishing it were still 2007 so they could make fun of the current PlayStation
I will say the maps in TF2 are a lot better but the gameplay in OW is pretty good. If they could just upgrade their maps to TF2 level or beyond then this game could have some legs.
To that end they should also add a separate queue for playing maps that last longer than 10 minutes max. Sometimes I don't mind playing a 40 minute CTF or control point game.
>>338696786
No I think its somewhat justified in that its basically a repeat of the PS3 (in that it had no games [really meaning that it had no real system sellers or real reasons for people to want to buy it]) but instead of floundering like the PS3 deserved to in that situation, instead its sold like fucking hotcakes for no real reason.
Like you hear about how its gotten over 35 million sales or whatever and all you can wonder is what the fuck any of these people are even doing with the goddamn things.

Yeah now maybe, sure as shit wasn't at launch when it was still selling fantastically for no real fucking reason other than "its not an Xbone".

>>338697592
For as much as I played the brief open beta period I have to say most of the maps in the game are just kindof a blurry haze.
At most a few of them have some cap points with interesting layouts, typically due to either being walled off to a degree or having bits people can fall in and die, but really nothing beyond that sticks out at all.
Makes me miss the TF2 maps where getting the payload to the final checkpoint horribly murders everyone nearby in a massive explosion.

Heartstone is f2p. Overwatch is not. You pay a lot of money for it and blizzard tries to take even more money from you. It doesn't matter if it's optional or not. As long as it's there, it keeps content you paid your money for away from you.
And come on, nobody thinks that heartstone has a good monetisation system. It's shit and everybosy knows it, and comparing overwatch to it doesn't make it any better.
>>338687705
The fate of this game was so predictable. It's a shallow multiplayer only game. It will suffer the fate of Call of Duty games.

At least with CoD there is the unlockable progression. With Overwatch, everything's three and you will be bored of the game once you play each character like 5 times, especially when there's so few maps.
Ive been playing since the Alpha in October and I didnt buy Overwatch because I am bored of it already.
It wont keep people entertained for long, i am calling it
This is way worse than the beta.
I'm only ever getting complete trash players on my team whereas the enemy is almost always pre-made or just really fucking good. It's a stomp every single time and it's infuriating that I'm only losing because of the faggot matchmaking system not working.

Serves you right, bet you buy stolen groceries too
>>338702858
No.
Youre wrong.
If you want to be competative at hearthstone you have to put a minimum of $100 into the game to even begin to start making good decks that can win post rank15 in the meta.
With OW you buy the game and youre set for life. Youre not required to make any additional purchases to be competative at the game. You have 21 heroes, everyone on your team has 21 heroes, everyone on the enemy team has 21 heroes.
In hearthstone if you dont have enough dust to craft Aha man, you cant make a good mage deck.
Cant craft Grom, Gorehowl and Trueheart, youre not playing Control warrior competative or high ranked.
Cant afford Tirion? Youre not playing paladin high skill or rank.
(previous patches)
Cant afford 2 FoN+2SR+2AoW+2AoL? You're not playing druid.
Cant make a Dr. Boom? your dead is imediatly downgraded 2 tiers of value.
You're not obliged at any point (unless your a cosmetic collecting faggot who wants to fasttrack his progression and has no fucking moral money compass) to spend ANY money once you've bought in to OW.
In HS once you get started, the slippery slope doesnt stop until you become Kripp the Kard Hoarder and youre dropping $500 on a new card set to get every card to deck/theory craft
>>338703279

Don't try to argue with these kids Anon, they are part of the "I want everything right now" generation. They buy every game at release then play it for like a hour and get bored because it isn't new enough. They never played a single game for the sake of enjoyment. They are the reason deveopers invented microtransactions.
>>338703309
You pay competitive so much, like it makes your argument somewhat valid. Microtransactions are not about being competitive or not. It's about taking even more money on top of what you already have paid for.
Let me put it the most easiest way to understan it.
If your game is f2p (like heartstone or hots), it is acceptable, but not encouraged to have microtransactions in your game.
If your game is pay to play (like overwatch, mgs5, uncharted, etc) - it's not acceptable in ANY way. Cosmetic or not. I want to play with whatever colours i want, it's part of the game. But i can't because game is holding it's content away from me. Content, that i already paid money for.
And btw, you can buy pack with gold, you know. In-game currency. Not that it makes heartstone business model any better consumerwise.

p.s. I was top 150 eu legend this past season, I know you can buy a pack for gold. But I also know how ineffective that is for people that want to break into the scene or play anywhere higher on the ladder about rank 15~

>>338704530
>>338704435
You thinks this games do have a good business model? Because I don't. As I said before, not acceptable in ANY way.
And once again, it's not about being competitive. It's about trying to grab more money from you.
>>338687705

>>338704014
There is nothing to defend. It's simply that idiotic people like OP will spend a hundred bucks for a skin in a game they don't like, then instead of having the sense to be ashamed of their decision, go and complain about the developers on the Internet for their irresponsible habits.
>>338704130
I'm not trying to take an attitude with you -
Are you genuinely unaware that there are coins you can pick up from Loot Box drops that contain coins, and with those coins unlock the skins of your choice, without paying money?
Because the only way your post would make sense would be if you didn't know this fact. Exactly zero of the character customization aspects require that you buying anything at all, unlike TF2 or CSGO, besides the deluxe editon shit. But that's a different story.
>>338687705

>>338689327
Because if they're cosmetic you can do it and NO ONE canb call it bullshit because the fanboys will scream "OMG IT'S NOT DOING ANYTHING IT'S FINE, SO WHAT IF THIS SHIT USED TO BE FREE YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY FOR THINGS YOU USED TO GET FOR FREE"
>>338704724
Once again, in my opinion microtransactions are not acceptable in ANY (Optional, not optional, cosmetic, game play, absolutely anything) way. Tf2 (is f2p, btw) and csgo do have a shit system and i don't like it one bit. It doesn't matter how companies try to mask their money-grabbing shit with "all can be accessed through game play" or "it's optional" bullshit. If i pay 60$ or 40$ or whatever i don't want you to keep telling me that i can always pay more.
>>338705032
>>338692198
Because if that system exists they will skew it so you have to use that system to get anywhere at all

>no campaign
Why? I'd at least consider buying the game if they had a decent singleplayer campaign. Ofcourse Metzen is way down the rabbit hole so no coherent story could come from him anymore. Basically the same goes for all the other Blizzard devs, too coked up to give a damn about making good games anymore. Look at fucking HOTS, how did that even see the light of day?
>>338693005
>You cant go to Draenor without WoD, or to Northrend without WoTLK

>>338705343

I got to level 40 in the beta, never got more than 700 coins total. Never got a legendary I wanted, and I never will unless I buy crates.
>>338690742
>>338690742
>>338705430
Well, maybe you don't care. But you really shouldn't be surprised that some people do care and we don't like this stuff in a full-priced releases.
>>338689551
It does affect me. People that "play" Overwatch have a different objective -- collect skins. They aren't actually playing the game. Therefore, Blizzard is castrating its player base into two groups: beanie baby collecting snot nose morons, and competitive online multiplayer weeaboos. Those two don't mesh well
I would take anyone who didn't like this games copies! Had such a good time and can't afford it

Oh I know what you're saying, but there's plenty of other games out from different devs that do the exact same thing with cosmetic items. The Division is one that comes to mind. I just don't get the shitting on Blizzard for doing what everyone else does. Welcome to the current era of gaming.
>>338705992
Shitting on blizzard for literally anything they do is the cool thing to do these days
This game's fun. Everybody else is getting bored of it fast, but it's the first FPS I've ever actually gotten into so I'm having a good time with it. I'll probably get at least a hundred hours out of it, which is pretty good value for $40.
Why do you want cosmetics so badly when you can't even see them on your character? Ya'll do know it's a first person game, right?

Its cash grabbing bullshit, I was really surprised when I saw it. But it helps to know that they already said all future content is free and not a paid expansion.

>>338706683
Well 1 it just makes browsing the catalog more difficult if you're looking for anything in particular or god forbid you still use page browsing.
More sub communities are made which when bound together after the month of multiple threads cause plenty of shitposting.
I'm just expressing my opinion, you don't have to like it.
>>338707036
why not just sell skins?
>>338691127
Same tbqh. Playing with friends is great and the game is fun.
Servers cost money to upkeep and new heroes cost money to develop so either the game has optional microtransactions that gives you stuff you can get for free or you have to pay for new heroes. Personally, I prefer to not be forced to pay for new heroes so I'm happy with the optional microtransactions.
>>338707087
