This combined with the pixar esque aesthetic and waifubait characters and a relatively low skill ceiling cornered a market that previously had no out.

I'm still enjoying it, though. Its pretty fun for a multiplayer only game

i've been playing witcher 3 but i keep my shit set to private so he wouldn't know that

neo-blizzard are as shit devs as neo-bioware and neo-bethesda. their games sell thanks to dumping millions into marketing--probably several zeroes more went to PR than to development of multiplayer only rooty tooty shooty game that only has like 4 maps but dozens of skins which you get to pay blizzard an extra $100 for even though you've paid $60 for already

It should be obvious from his post that he has never played the game and is only relaying exaggerated versions of what he has heard.

>>339496349
40 dollar game on the only system you should play FPS on, in reality there are 12 maps, however there are technically 18 maps, since 3 of the maps have three sorta 'sub-maps' for each round.

As for the micro-transaction shit, yes it shouldn't be in the game, but also not as bad as you describe. You cannot buy skins, voice lines, etc. directly, but instead buy 'loot boxes' at approximately 1 dollar per box.These boxes will contain 4 random pieces of loot, and can be easily obtained through normal game play at a rate of 1 loot box ever 6 matches or so.

you should explain a little more but I think they actually treat their fans much better then other companys,they never shut down servers, you can still go and play diablo 1 online and diablo 2 did get a updated last year and can also be played online,there life support is probably the best in the world, I literally had every of my problems fixed in a few hours.

Also they usually do many updates for free , look at diablo 3 how much content it did get.

If you could explain a little more where they are bad it would be much better for you.

not just that but we often see once they get angry they start to pick Mc Cree all and proceed to die to our sniper player and get hard countered by disrupting Winstons.

Being on voice chat helps in this game much, its much more easy to coordinate and warn each other.

Also there are always a couple of idiots who are on attack and keep chasing our tracer player on the other side of the map wasting time on her without killing her.

Stop pretending to be stupid for the sake of argument. You know god damn well selling maps has become the norm in many FPS.
>>
>>339496007
Normies.

The game in any competitive standpoint is completely flawed, maps are unbalanced and the tick rate is god awful. 60 server side and 20 player side. Meaning that if you were behind a wall and a widow maker sniped you, the server is forced to agree that you weren't behind that wall on the widow makers side.

If hackers can get something to change their own tick rate to like 10 or 5 no one would stand a chance.

Overwatch is a flawed competitive game that needs some major rebalancing before it can even strive. As it stands the "Pros" arn't pros because EVERYONE ELSE can do the shit they do. They are only pros in the standard of, "hey im on a team!" Overwatch was flawed from the start and can only strive as a casual experience due to everyone getting kills and not focusing on the objective.

The fact that kills are rewarded more then Objective times are is fucking ass in Overwatch, this means cod kiddies go for kills over the actual objective letting the team fucking lose because they are only headed for kills. Remove the Eliminations and everythng else from the game and have it only focus on objective timers and I fucking guarantee you will see a dramatic spike of people actually winning games.

When i pay upwards of 30$ on a game, no matter what it is, i expect it to have content. Overwatch has two rehashed modes. It doesn't have the right to have microtransactions FOR ANYTHING out of the gate.

Valve doing this for a 15 dollar entry point is just skirting the line.
Blizzdrones are paying an entry fee of 40 to 60 for a game that has no depth, no content and microtransactions for skins and dialogue. DIALOGUE!

The comparisan is unequal
CSGO released at $15 WITHOUT COSMETIC MICROTRANSACTIONS and was on sale for $7 in like 3 months, you could buy it for like $3 by now.

OW released $40, with COSMETICS LOCKED BEHIND THE $60 VERSION, AND A FULL COSMETICS GAMBLING SCHEME and SHOP

Its not a question of "who are you defending", but of objective truth - which is that blizzard has outjewed pretty much all other companies with OW, bar EA.

I find Valve infinitely more scummy. Remember that they introduced broken item set bonuses long before TF2 became free to the point it is today.

Overwatch is comparison only has cosmetics that you can unlock without paying so I don't see the problem.

At least they made a game, CSGO is just the same thing we've been playing for 15 years. There is also the fact that you can unlock everything for free in Overwatch, which isn't possible in CSGO.

My biggest problem with you people is that your argument against Overwatch is that having a cash shop in a game that isn't free is unconscionable, except when it's CSGO for some reason. You're fucking hypocrites.

Why is it that /v/irgins can only take potshots and single points in an entire post while provide no reasoning for anything.

I WILL count sales into it because Valve's games go reliably dirt cheap every 3 months, while Blizzard sells their 15 year old titles for $15

Because the rest of the post is opinions? You slam Overwatch for having payable cosmetics but then defend CSGO because it's 'cheaper during sales'.

Let's not forget that to get every cosmetic in CS:GO would run you over $1000 whereas $300 and a bit of playing in OW will get you everything.

You either admit that CS:GO has an infinitely more fucked up cosmetic DLC system that nullifies the $20 cheaper pricetag on Overwatch.

Or you concede that DLC cosmetics don't factor into how jewish a game is and both are shit.

You can't have both without some serious cognitive dissonance, Anon.

CSGO developed its jewish scheme over time - give it time and OW will do a bigger one.
