Wonder if they're counting everyone who played the open beta for free.

I don't know why people bought this. 40 bucks is still too expensive for the content you're getting. Game was already stale once the beta got extended.

Maybe a couple years down the line for 20 bucks, sure. But not now.

Blizzard as company is active in the stockmarket - they have to put their counter of the playerbase on a regular basis open for everyone to see.
Those numbers need to be confirmed by 3th parties in order to get their approval.

Overwatch is definitely going to do well, but I'm not gonna trust Blizzard's numbers when they clearly lied about how many WoW subs and Hearthstone players they had. It's just something to make them look more appealing to investors.

Blizzard also released some additional statistics as well, including the number of payload games won, which if we assume has a 50% win rate, meant that the average Overwatch players has only played 6-7 games of matchmaking.

And this just show us if you want to make a profitable game, you can use old ideas (like in this case), you can make just two games mods (like in this case) and the only thing you need to do to have money is being a Blizzard game.

Ok listen bub, im an investor in ATVI. blizzard never releases any playerbase data. ever. Period. the best they did was release subscription numbers for WOW, but they dont even do that anymore.

they use numbers like "players" instead of actual sales numbers because "players" counts allow for more leeway.

>I sincerely can't wait for the documentary that details why Overwatch succeeded and Battleborn flopped

It really is fascinating, but I'm a businessfag. I hope we get an in depth analysis and interviews about the decision making process of both games one day.

From what I remember, Blizzard made an MMO (called Titan, right?) that got far into development but they deemed it wasn't fun. They canceled the game, but instead of firing everyone on the team, they had them work on a new game (Overwatch) using some of the assets and using the lessons they learned on Titan and so far it's a success.

Meanwhile, Battleborn is Gearbox's most expensive game and seems to have made every wrong decision possible.

Pretty sure they announced it wouldn't be F2P in December of 2015. Pre-orders opened sometime between then and the open beta in early May, but I don't remember when.

Honestly, I shitposted OW when they said it wasn't going to be F2P, but then got bored during the weekend of the beta, downloaded it, played it, loved it, and pre-ordered it.

im one of those 10 million overwatch players, i tried to get a refund on day 1 after release but couldnt because i played for more than 5 hours. Havent touched the game ever since, i kinda expected them to at least do some changes between release and open beta, instead they did nothing but count preorder money. Maybe in a couple of months once they balance it enough for PC, add proper ranking system with hero locks, add another 20 heroes, i'll consider giving it another try. Now the game is basically "HotS 2.0 : The FPS", its going through the same problems that hots did, and hots only now is getting decent enough, after a whole fucking year, i hope they'll do it faster with overwatch, but considering hots was somewhat closer to their history of gamedev consisting of isometric clickers, and overwatch is their first attempt at FPS genre - i doubt it will ever become good

The only "true shooters" are games with no retarded gimmicks. Q3A/Live, UT2k4, Reflex, Warsow, other arena shooters of that sort (too many to list off). A case could be made for CS:S and CS:GO as well.

>>341312149
>Play fucking sixes

I did. I can 100% guarantee I'm better than you at this game, and know more about it than you, stop trying to patronize me. I've played comp tf2 since 2011.

Just because 6s players have eliminated the retarded shit in this game doesn't mean it's a true shooter. If you literally need to ban items then the game has issues, be they balance related or mechanics related. 6s bans stupid shit like stuns and slows, and they shouldn't have to do that if tf2 was an actual good fps game.

It's a colorful casual fps game that attracts young kids, and that's fine. Just because it happens to have a dwindling comp community doesn't make it "true".

You do know there are ways to counter every ultimate right? They all server wide announce they are doing a ult so you can take measures to not get fucked up by them. Hanzo's ult can be easily countered by using your movement skills to get the fuck out of the way, Reaper is a case of keeping a eye on him when he starts acting funny and shoot the fuck out of him once he tries, DVA can be countered by anything you can stand behind, ect. Git gud.

>>341313176
>if melee can be a fighting game tf2 is a true shooter.

But nobody in the FGC considers Melee a fighting game, anon. Likewise, no serious fps player considers TF2 a worthwhile fps game.

Call it elitism if you want, but that's how it is. The only people who think Smash is a serious fighting game are Smash players, and the only people who think TF2 is a serious fps game are TF2 players (and even then, much of the comp community is quite aware of how trash the base game is).

cs is not a true shooter.
-no movement system
-fov cap
-random spread when you are moving or jumping and if you hold trigger for to long
-3 to 5 body shots to kill
- 1 to 2 headshots to kill

dirtybomb has classes but you are still able to effectively do well with all classes short range to long range and are not forced into certain positions on map to have good team synergy.

TF2 is bassicly quake where each class is 1/9 of all classes togheter. Characters are gimped to certain scenarios and don't have the freedom to choose where they want to be because they will fuck up team synergy. That is what shitty class based games are like, like overwatch.

The problem is that there are absolutely no cues for enemy ult percentages.

In tf2, your spy can see enemy uber percentage, and if the enemy medic has uber, his medigun glows and has a static effect. THERE ARE NO CUES in overwatch besides JUSTICE RAINS FROM ABOVE and DIE DIE DIE. literally the only way to read the enemy ult % is to die and read it from the killfeed. it's dumb. it doesnt reward awareness, it rewards you for getting lucky.

i have to agree that most pharas are dumb retarded "tf2-soldier-wannabee" imbeciles but when you play vs "okayish" ones it just starts being infuriating, as in there is no counterplay to phara who flew around the map and ulted you in the back, neither is there any skill involved in it. "poor game awareness" is just an excuse to shitty game design. Maps always force you into certain positions, even the heroes with "extra mobility" - there is always a point to be captured or cart to be pushed, and at certain points you are going to have to go out there in the open and risk getting instagibed by any of the countless bullshit this game offers.
