How do people justify paying $40 for what is basically a tf2 reskin with three gamemodes and three maps per gamemode? What the fuck is this?
>>340104720
>40
>>340104720
Because I had fun in the open beta and felt like I would get way more than $40 worth of enjoyment out of the game
>>340105072
well did you?
>>340105181
Yes
>>340104720
It's not your own money, is it?
>>340104720
I don't understand?
>>340104720
not sure, i tried it in the open beta and holy shit
the 20 tick rate just kills all skill, it doesnt care how good your reaction time is
you're still dying, reaction time isnt even a factor, and aiming is so easy on most characters that isnt either, all basic shooters skills thrown out the window to overcasualize the game
into the trash it goes
>>340104720
Hey, its not just a reskin.
It has waifus in it too.
>>340104720
I paid $2.50 for TF2 and I still feel ripped off
>>340105072
>fun
What a faggot, am i right?
>>340104720
>I haven't played this game but I fucking hate it because I am a tf2 fag
Probably because they can actually count and know there's 12 maps for starters
>>340104720
Game is fun
Is it nothing like tf2 at all
>>340104720
Already got my moneys worth according to the 1 buck per hour gameplay rule.
Interest is slowly getting smaller but allready sank enough hours into it to justify the price.
Don't know how you measure if i game was actually worth buying but it's probably by how many threads you can make on /v/ about it.
Because it's fun?
Why are tf2fags so mad that people actually want to play a video game and not an outdated hat simulator? Is it because they can't afford it and are stuck with the dregs?
>>340104720
TF2 launched with 6 maps.
People only ever wanted to play 2fort.
>>340104720
>he fell for the "overwatch is tf2" meme
>>340106137
This is why I like that Overwatch doesn't let you choose the maps. You always end up on the same ones like 2fort or dust2.
Its the neu male millenial generation that are complacement about playing games with strong female characters.
Anyone starting to get bored of it already?
I played it non stop when it came out, but now i just play it in short bursts once or twice a day.
>>340104720
1) because it's fun
2) because tf2 is old as fuck
3) tf2 has got shit since it became f2p
4) i got tired of gritty dark war fps
5) call it a reskin, but it's a good reskin then. The characters are more than soldiers, they are fuckin super heroes. Being Mercy is x20 better than being Medic, is more fun and badass, and Mercy can do far more. You can apply this to each tf2 character except pyro and spy. There are more Heroes than soldiers, and they are more charming too.
Its fun. I don't know what else to tell you. I have 3000 hours in TF2 and I'm pretty much done with the game since all the new updates are just hats. I bought OW on launch and already have 70 hours in it including beta play, its just an enjoyable experience.
>>340104720
butts
because you don't have to pay for weapons like you do in tf2
>>340106164
TF2 is literally Overwatch's primary influence.
>>340104720
>he doesn't know TF2 used to cost money
Also I've put more hours into Overwatch than I ever did into TF2 because I'm not autistic enough to give a shit about Tf2
>>340106267
>defending lack of choice
if you never played TF2 before it went F2P, you can't comment on it in comparison to Overwatch. It all went to shit by the time they introduced new items.
>>340107474
TF2 was always shit
It's fun for like 1 night of games.
>>340107042
>butts
thanks, thats the ONLY honest answer
Anyone who says overwatch is a TF2 redskin has not played it for any good amount of time
I got my money's worth. My interest has waned though, it is genuinely a relatively casual game and there's only so much you can play before you want something more skill intensive.
Don't know if there's much coming out this year in the way of that. Lawbreakers might be good.
Because it's fun.
I've spend more on worse.
>>340104720
>people buy 200+ Dollars knife on a shitty boring game
OH MY GOD HE PAYED 40 DOLLARS TO GET A FUN GAME WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY TO GET EVERYTHING IN THE GAME. WHAT A FUCKING NAZI
advertising and gullibility
>>340104720
>How do people justify paying $40 for what is basically a tf2 reskin with three gamemodes and three maps per gamemode? What the fuck is this?
No 6 years old third worlder kids ruining all pubs. Reason enough.
>>340104720
That's like saying Star Wars is a Star Trek reskin.
>>340108796
>people buy 200+ Dollars knife on a shitty boring game
Are you really going to question Valve's way of doing things?
It's all cosmetic shit in CS:GO and Dota 2 with low base prices / F2P for the actual game with all the relevant content.
There's nothing that compels someone to buy a 200 dollar knife other than being a special snowflake and honestly if they can afford to do that sort of thing I don't really think money is a problem for them.
>>340109864
says the knife owner I suppose
>>340108796
>comparing cosmetic items to an actual game
I see logic isnt a stong suit
>>340104720
Unfortunately I was busy finishing my degree when the open beta was happening so I bought it after hearing how good it was.
Everyone said the game was great which it was, for the first week. It lacks so much content
>no singleplayer
>3 gamemodes
>12 maps
Not worth the price of admission.
It's fun
>>340108647
>tfw you actually spent $60 on fallout and still have a hard time enjoying it
I'm okay with spending money on this because I needed a game where I could just sit down and play a match for a bit before going out or going to bed
Plus I get to play AND watch porn with best girl
>>340110369
TF2 costed $30 back in the day, and had far less at launch.
I'm surprised people aren't comparing it to Splatoon.
>>340110571
Shhhh, only newfags from Reddit started playing when it went f2p.
>>340110078
???
I don't even play CS:GO
>>340110698
>I'm surprised people aren't comparing it to Splatoon.
Splatoon is actually challenging and innovative, why would you insult it by comparing it to Overwatch?
>>340107149
>influence
>clone
nigger those are two different things
>>340110808
People complaining about the amount of content and price not being worth it right now, which is true.
Overwatch is fresh and fun. TF2 died when idling became a thing, the levelling system on OW is perfect because it means absolutely nothing except random cosmetics as incentive for prizes and encourages players to keep playing the game for what it is. Fuck Valve and their fucking Keys that you can't even get for free unless you start getting into TF2s cancerous economy
>>340111048
>complaining about cosmetics rather than gameplay
Why is this shit ever in arguments, it doesn't fucking have any weight.

I have 58% after 600 games. its okay
>>340107543
no different from overwatch then
>>340110571
It was bundled with the Orange Box. Sold digitally for 20$, then 10$, then f2p.
>>340111749
>people still pushing this shit
Just stop.
>>340111749
I had sub 60-something percent at about 120 games last night, but then I got put on like 10 shitty teams in a row last night. Afraid to look at my rate now.
>>340110571
It was actually only $20, and originally you couldn't buy it seperately from the Orange Box.
someone please buy me the game, or pay £20 into my PayPal (I'll pay the rest for the £10)
Cheers, and we can play together if you want to, too.
theres a fairly good chance blizzard will add new modes, new maps, and possably a world editor for people to do custom game modes.
give it time.

i honestly want to know how maps they'll add per time spent because 3-4 months for 1 map in ow would be awful
How many hours per dollar of value do you need to be considered a good purchase? I think 3 hours per dollar. So I'll need to play 120 hours. Its a multiplayer game so its dynamic and interesting. Some AAA games(60$) have 8 hours and the journos will explain why we should enjoy this. A movie ticket is 8.50$ for 1.5 to 3 hours. Whats the problem?
>>340113095
1 DOLLAR 1 HOUR OR BUST
SPOOLE IS ALWAYS RIGHT
>>340104720
It's fun.
>>340111749
Someone explain this to me
>mfw not bored of it yet
should have already had a new map or two though
>tfw Overwatch is /v/'s new "it's popular so it's bad" game.
>>340114743
The matchmaking isn't designed to make even games, it's designed to get as close to 50% w/l as possible so you will frequently be put into unbalanced, unwinnable games if you ever go above it.
>>340107149
It's much more simlar to TFC

I was watching one of the documentaries about how the game was made, and two of the guys at Blizzard were saying how they were both part of the same TFC clan before they ever knew each other irl, or got into the games industry.
>>340104720
Game says I've played for 51 hours. That's more then those shitty single player games /v/ talks about
>>340115245
This game has a lot of depth in its movement abilities that a lot of people haven't grasped yet. The other day there was an entire thread on /v/ where the majority of people didn't know Pharah could rocket jump.
>>340104720
$40 is not a lot of money to some people
shocking i'm sure
>>340104720
>basically a tf2 reskin
I'm just gonna go ahead and assume you've played neither TF2 nor Overwatch...
>>340115528
>didn't know Pharah could rocket jump.
goodness....
>>340104720
Do you like TF2? There's your justification. Either go boot that game up, or buy the new one.
I mean, do you ask this question when assassin's creed sequels come out?
>>340115090
Which has be proven false.
>>340116045
proofs?
>>340116214
Here >>340111943
Along with the lack of "PROOF" that you cry babies have provided.
>>340105181
not that guy but I've already played over 30 hours of the game and have had more fun with it in most games I've played in the last 3 years.
>>340104720
>below $1 for each hour played.
>And the first patch for heroes/maps is not even out yet
Pretty easy to justify, my family~

>>340116431
Are you an asshole or the super awkward wannabe comedian? If not then its there problem
The only criticism I have against Overwatch is the 20 tickrate, and even then there's the 60 tick ranked mode that should be out soon. Otherwise there's little reason to compare this to TF2 beyond "class-based team shooter". Like others have said, this is much closer to TFC than anything,
>>340116639
Same

attention autistic TF2 fags:
You game is dead and never ever achieved any where near this level of popularity. Overwatch is by far the better game. Stay mad

Forced 50 is a phenomenon about solo queue you dense cunt
>>340104720
Shit's incredibly fun. Something TF2 hasn't been in years.
I've already got 49 hours in it and I'm enjoying it a lot.

wow ebin argument anon you sure got us there xdddd
Don't know what shitty servers you play in for TF2, but I have nearly 1400 hours and can only recall running into a cheater twice. One aimbot, one speed hack.
There's also plenty of teamwork in games, especially 12v12.
Also why are Overwatch babbies so afraid of a 9 year old game lmao, can't they just accept that the best things in Overwatch are taken from TF2 and just be done with it?
>>340118563
>not being financially stable enough to provide your friends with videogames
Who's poor now, faggot?
>>340115245
do competitive players make use of this at all?
>>340118830
It's a sad state that even with its problems, Overwatch is still the best fps on the market right now that actually has a player base and likely will be for several years.
>f-forced 50% is real guys!
>I'm always the best player on my team!

Are you seriously getting upset about shit teams in a team game where it's impossible to solo carry consistently no matter what
If you want a team game where you can carry go play CS GO
>>340119270
People need to stop whining, sure a few losses here and there are frustrating, but most games I've played are still really fun even if we get our asses handed to us.
>>340104720
How did you justify paying $60 for the orangebox when it came out?
>>340119270
Funny how you're acting like this is a competitive game in any way
I got a free key since my friend works at Blizz.
Go me.

I'm not, I'm making fun of the retards who can't deal with the fact that they're not the star player they thought they were.
Blizz forcing this game as a competitive e-sport is just hilarious to me.

Forced50 is real
within 10 games, i usually get
5 is a instant lose due to shitty team / OP enemies

I just wish ranked play can come sooner~
atleast in CSGO competitive i can get around 3 equal skill level enemy fun game~

don't worry , game already ded
jewzard won
I've played Overwatch, I've played TF2, they're both shit.
The way I see it, TF2 is better simply because I can get the same amount of disappoint and not have to waste 40$ when I can play the same game for free.

>>340113095
This assessment is doomed to failure from the start, because the apparent value of money varies wildly depending on the person. In plain words: The more dollars in one's bank account, the less valuable each individual dollar seems to be.
To the heir of a Middle Eastern kingdom, $10,000 for the super deluxe version of After Burner Climax will doubtless seem like chump change, whilst the Darfur refugee, who barely managed to scrape together the Sudanese pound equivalent of five bucks by scavenging the corpses of his fellow villagers after they were massacred by rampaging bandits, would no doubt balk at the thought of spending it all to download Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved.
These are of course extreme examples, but the point is that all of us lie at different points somewhere between them, and therefore the arbitrary assessment of complete strangers who has no idea of our financial situation is in no way helpful to any of us (not even to the mythical "average gamer", who, if he exists at all, is doubtless in the minority).
What at the end of the day you expect (or should expect), is not an assessment of a game's hours per dollar of value but of its quality compared to other games in the same genre; once you have that, you can then contrast your bank balance and your desire to play a game against the publisher's asking price, and make your decision.
How could a modern action game ever compete in the "hours per dollar" stakes with something like Chess or Sid Meier's Civilization? And what would be the point of us pitting them against each other anyway? Is an hour-long game of basketball more worthwhile than a one-minute long skydive, simply because it lasts longer? Would you like some apples with your oranges, sir? Have you ever had an orgasm?
Are there any other FPS out there can give curb my craving? I played the Overwatch beta and couldn't see myself playing it for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Anyone have a game they dip in and out of occasionally to play?

The only thing I'm salty about is that Splatoon had more content but got shat on way harder because Activision marketing took care of that with this game. Splatoon both started with and currently has more content.
I know OW will get free add-ons too but I'm REALLY skeptical that Activision will deliver non-Jewish great content.

This..
Overwatch is only popular because it's picking up on the bored league audience that Rito has been constantly alienating. All actual serious FPS players (esp CSGO) don't take it seriously because it's incredibly casualized and memey.
Do poorfags really get this hung up on price tags? Do you also shop around to save 3 bucks on your drinks and clip coupons while you're at it?

40 bucks, already played around 30 hours, well worth the money so far, Ive paid more for single player games that only last 6-12 hours.
that said, Ive played 8 days of World of Tanks and havent paid a single cent, I think I shoud buy something, those guys have earned it.

do people really have to "justify" what games they do and don't spend money on?

Yes; this is called being an adult

That's actually hilarious.

no problem if it goes F2P in a year, I will have played a years worth for only 40 bucks.
