So when does the fun end and it's nothing but people paying for loot boxes or grinding levels trying to get skins? Give me a reason to buy this.
there is none
It's 40 dollars
It'sfun
>>340603818
Because the gameplay is good.
>>340603939
Okay I'm a consolefag though.
>>340604021
Then don't bother. You'll be plagued by assholes who don't want to help the team and only care about their K/D, and the community won't be there a year from now.
>>340604021
You shouldn't get it because it's a shooter not because of the reasons listed in the OP.
>>340604021
Then you have no reason to buy an FPSand no reason to live either

Overwatch is the kind of FPS that's better played on a console, it was designed that way
Cant' even believe there are 12 unique maps. Always feels like I'm playing the same 3 or 4 maps over and over again.

I played this game already more than most of my "GOTY" purchases.

This is true tho

No fps plays better on console, what designs could possibly make up for shitty controls
>>340604321
No amount of aim assist, bullet magnetism, or wonky hitboxes will justify playing a shooter on pad.

It's been fun for me especially with frie-

Maybe the extra $20 is a retard tax.

Then he shouldn't bother buying an fps at all no matter how much it costs
>>340604021
I think most of the "my team is all snipers" comes from console players. I don't really get it on pc, but maybe I'm just lucky.

Wish I knew at the time to call him out. This game is worth less than 20$ I payed for tf2 5 years ago.
>>340604021
Honestly anon,I bought it on ps4 and I absolutely love it. It works fine with a controller as hardly any weapons are hitscan, and everyone else is playing with the same tools as you. Don't listen to the pc meme and just have some fun
>>340605804i work for blizzard
sites like G2A and CDkeys have been a blight on the digital sales industry. They will accept any valid key even if the shit was purchased with a stolen credit card and will get chargebacked, they dont give a fuck where the source got the keys from, they redirect most bad key issues to Blizzard instead of accepting the fucking blame, and for overwatch they even started taking fucking PREORDERS before we even knew how the game was going to be distributed.
So then one guy had an idea.
"Dont make it giftable. If G2A sold the preorder keys for 40 dollars, make them fucking scramble to buy thousands of physical box keys at 60 dollars. We will literally make 20 extra dollars off every sale that G2A makes."
(OP) Well this thread makes it seem pretty obvious that there's no point in getting it on console. Guess I'll just re-sub to FFXIV instead unless someone on console can convince me otherwise.
>>340606546
Are you seriously gonna be brainwashed by the "muh PC" meme about shooters? Everyone has the same tools as you will since there isn't cross platform play, so why should you care? Half the characters are more about movement and placement, which is way better on a gamepad anyways. If you'd rather play it on
pc go for it, but it's worth picking up.
>>340606793
No I'm not. Just trying to trigger people by mentioning FFXIV, for some reason a lot of people on /v/ don't like that game.
>>340606420
>everyone else is playing with the same tools as you.
kind of like the special olympics then?
>>340606420
The amount of hitscan weapons does not change from system to system
>>340605774
Widowmaker is terrible on consoles though. As generous as OW hitboxes are you do have to be at least pretty close to hitting them in order to hit them.
I heard that on consoles it's Torbjorn and Pharah that dominate rather than McCree and Widowmaker. That's a pretty dramatic difference.
>>340603818
its fun
theres a hard cap on xp required to level
free maps and heroes after the fact
easy jump in jump out system to party up (i know thats not a huge point but ive never liked server lists because for whatever reason my internet shows all servers at max ping all the time)
its fun
no feeling like you're being left behind because levels only mean cosmetics, no extra custom class or someshit
Anybody else simply not having fun with the game? I'm usually playing with at least 3, 4 or 5 people on my teamspeak, and I'm just not enjoying the game. I'm level 75 or so, and I'm already getting bored of this game, mainly because of the lack of maps and game modes, but also because of the terrible balance issues with heroes like Widowmaker or McCree. Also, I feel like the Ultimate ability is a terrible fucking idea, and makes you lose games even faster.
I really don't see myself touching this game again when Battlefield 1 comes out, and for now, I actually think that Team Fortress 2 and Dirty Bomb are way better games. Yes, even Dirty Bomb has better gameplay.
>>340605552
>>6 maps
>>5 weapons
Rapidly increased
>>four colors of squid
Wrong and irrelevant
>>TWO game modes
One of which is a campaign that lasts a couple of hours, which justifies a chunk of the price
>>third game mode locked behind 15 dollar DLC
So you would call some mild twists on the campaign and some exclusive gear a "game mode"?
>>340608372
yeah I'm a bit over it now but I keep playing just because it's new and I'm bored of TF2. all the threads and advertisements just annoy me now instead of making me want to play it.
>>340608372
I had fun for a couple days (level 60 or something).
I don't give a shit about balance other than shitty matchmaking, the lack of choice in map or game mode is what did away with the fun for me.
>>340607236
>Torbjorn
>aims for you
>Pharah
>opponents need to aim to hit you

Sounds about right.
This game is pretty fun. I love playing as Junkrat but McCree when we're losing
>>340604021
>console FPS
There are games that are fun on console and Overwatch is not one of them.
I just don't understand how this game managed to avoid criticism when a lot of flaws that Battlefrotn has are shared by Overwatch. I'm already bored of the game.
>>340604021
why is mei so fat?!

Still overpriced, but I'll get enough fun out of it for that price.

Look at some gameplay footage from consoles and you'll see exactly how awful this game is outside of PC. Stiff controls make for an incredibly awkward and frustrating experience for everyone. Also, it's all kids so nobody plays the objective.
>>340604756
>shitty controls
You are not worth discussing this with.
>>340613501
You seriously think aiming with an unreliable joystick is better than a M+KB?
>>340611454
Ah shit son, you're right. Everybody else in the world is probably bored of this game too, they just haven't been able to stand forward. Preach bro.
>40 dollars
>40 euros
How do companies STILL get away with this bullshit?
>>340603818
Don't bother. It will be fun for the first three days, then your losing streak will start. People are INCREDIBLY stupid, even F2P faggots in TF2 care more about objectives than their fucking K/D. "Play of the game" is a joke because it rewards exactly those cunts that don't care about winning the game, only their score. Especially ranged classes like that Turok guy with the bow or the sniper cunt with the shiny ass.
The game is beautiful, but the maps are stuffed with bullshit, there's random shit on the walls, on the ground, random fucking sci-fi-retro-edgy objects everywhere and the game doesn't really know what it is. Same for the characters with their weird sci fi shit everywhere. Eheheh gorilla has glasses and is wise scientist, wtf. Character design in general is shit, you get either straight out clones from other games, supposedly hot waifu candidates with asses like 12yrs olds and an odd amount of edgelord muh samurai characters.
Map design is shit, in payload there are incredibly frustrating choke points and if you die, it's often a looong way back to where the fight is. Doesn't help that the characters walk very slow, it's a slow game.
Also, too much focus on them fucking ultimates, most of them do massive AoE damage or are plain onehit-auto aim bullfuck.
This game is not a MOBA, it's a team shooter with three playmodes. Payload, capture and hold a point or capture 2 points and win. Sometimes point cap is mixed with payload. Even fucking DOOM has more to offer.
If you're lucky to play with friends and manage to get 5 people together, you will be matched against cocky autists who will freeze-dry your asshole in a matter of minutes and yell EZ GG after a complete fucking imbalanced shitfest. Even if you win against these people, it's extremely frustrating.
If you like very competitive shooters based on teamplay, you might like the game. Just keep in mind that this game will most likely meet the same fate as starcraft did.

not publisher's fault
taxation on foreign goods and entertainment, plus localization (means more than translating)
