Its Activision-Blizzard, what did you expect?
>full price game + expensive micro transactions
this is exactly the kind of thing Blizzard does repeatedly, yet they keep getting away with it.
Hell some faggots here even defend them, for free.
>buying blizshit
>>338662980
Post yfw you didn't fall for the meme
what do the boxes do
>>338662980
>b-b-b-bbut they said no microtransactions
you guys are so retarded, it's like they don't know Blizzard post WoW
>>338663152
Is $40 full price now? And we also shit on entirely cosmetic micro transactions? Game's pretty fun, homie, you can enjoy it and still shit on the dumb faggots who buy that garbage.
>>338662980
Hurry da heck up
>its okay when TF2 does it
>>338663281
just cosmetics and spray paints, aka op is a retard
>>338663283
Are you retarded ? It's not even like buying a Hearthstone booster. You get those by playing AND it's only cosmetic.
>>338663283
the funny thing is. Blizzard not only abuses micro transactions, they have really high prices on them.
I mean fuck, $40 for some loot? thats more than both Witcher 3 expansions combined.
>>338662980
This has been known for months.
>>338662980
What's the problem? The game is F2P!
>>338662980
It's optional you stupid fuck and do yourself a favor and buy one because unlike other games you have a higher chance at getting a rare skin than you would on dota or tf2
>>338663283
I don't believe they ever said this just that heros weren't microtransactions
anyone who believes there wouldnt MTs are retarded
>>338663406
What? No it isnt okay. TF2 is shit as well.
O IM KEKKIN
>>338663406
No it´s not, both games are shit.
GOTCHA GOYIM AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHEHEHEHEEEEE!

Only idiots with disposable income and autists would spend 40 bucks on RNG cosmetics.
At the end of the day, for a company to charge full price for a game and then still have microtransactions is a fucking abomination. Defend it as much as you want, it's retarded.

>THE V-V-VALUE IS G-GREAT!
>>338662980
Nigger this has been known since the begining. They literally said this is how they plan to make more money off of it. God damn you uninformed consumerist Cucks need to learn how to fucking read.
ITT : poorfags
>there are people who actually did not expect this after seing how loot boxes worked basically like hearthstone card packs and were progressively harder to get in the beta
>>338664076
They're all random and you get repeats all the time insetead of gradually collecting everything. There are tons of dull voice lines to unlock and most of the sprays are locked to each character. Worse is that the vast majority of skins for each character are just low-effort recolors and the actually good looking recolors cost over twice as much.
>ingame cash shop after you already bought the game
This is the future you chose, blizzcucks
>implying that's bad
it's actually pretty generous, for the same price in hearthstone you only get 40 packs
For the record did anyone actually expect something like this to NOT be in a Blizzard game?
>>338663272
There won't be micro transactions they said

Ouch, what a slap in the face. They waited till the absolute last second until they had everyones money, cash in hand before unveiling thier paymium scheme.

>>338664514
No nigger this has been known for fucking MONTHS.
Overwatch is too simple. Let me explain:
I'll just ignore the obvious 'ultimates that rape everybody on screen and require no skill to use other than timing' and go a little deeper.
A nice way to do this is look at the TF2 counter parts.
Tracer = Scout: positioning doesn't matter for her, doesn't need to rely on moving intelligently to dodge attacks when she has a blink ability and a literal 'press this button to undo your fuck-up', also aiming is easy as shit with your only one weapon choice (not including ultimate).
Torj = Engineer: has only ONE building to manage which gets upgraded to max level 5 seconds. Resource management on him is virtually non-existent compared to the TF2 Engineer, all you use it for in Overwatch is the one upgrade for your one building and shitting out armour for teammates, repairing and building the sentry is free.
Pharah = Soldier: You don't need any skill in rocket jumping, you have a button that does it for you on top of being able to hover / ascend moreso with a jetpack. Your rocket has 6 rockets loaded and are much easier to hit than Soldier's. It's also your only weapon other than that displacing shot.
Junkrat = Demoman: Your explosives have an overly generous AOE and are easier to hit anyway, you can only place one remote mine every 8 seconds for jumping or damaging enemies and you have an immobilizing trap if aiming becomes too difficult.
Mercy = Medic: Has a Medigun and Kritzkrieg in one, can literally revive teammates she fails at healing with her ult and the only other thing she can do is shoot people with a pistol. The flying ability to stay glued to teammates is bretty cool though.
>tf2 and csgo cuc.ks already this jelly they're trying to change the goalposts
>>338662980
>literally cs:go and tf2 all over again
Jesus christ my sides
>>338664384
The worst part is that you only get rewards normally by leveling up. Even though your account level doesn't mean anything but time played, it costs more and more exp every level. When you start you get a reward every couple games, then every couple hours, then maybe one a day if you play tons of Overwatch.

No it hasn't retard. There was speculation and that's it.
Why wasn't this F2P again?
>>338664517
They charged their price for a content and now charge extra for extra content. It's quite greedy payment scheme which was not revealed till release.
Post yfw you didn't buy Overwatch.
Its ok when valve does it.. Amirite steambros?

How is this worse than literally any other multiplayer game on the market?
>>338664517
But you can still just earn it through playing right?
Which is what you'd do without microtransactions, theres just an option to buy it if you want to rush it (Waste but whatever).

All of you need to call the cops immidiately and tell them Blizzard is pointing a FUCKING GUN AT YOUR HEAD AND FORCING YOU TO BUY THEM

Oh and don't do this to yourselves, but do NOT go watch people playing this on twitch. They're already tryharding in full premade teams barking locations and ult usages like they're in a tournament and it's day 1.
These games are meant to attract the retarded tryhard dudebros and it's done that perfectly.
>>338664427
i don't think we're talking about the same things. A bullet hell is a top down style of game where you have to dodge projectiles and fire back your own to advance through stages/bosses. What the fuck are you talking about? This is a semi-strategic semi-twitchy team based objective multiplayer first person shooter.

>BUT IT'S A P2P GAME

It's shitty of them, but it's just pointless cosmetics anyway. If at some point they start charging for new maps or heroes I'll be upset.
Don't plan on buying overwatch but this seems fine as long as they aren't charging for upgrades or characters

That's not viral marketing, it's just regular marketing and yes they blew a lot of money into it from the looks of it. But so did other games, such as Dark Souls 3, they have sent out planet tickets, hotel bookings, etc just to market their game in a circle where 80% do not even represent any public figures. It's a waste of money to be honest

bro, people were standing next to tracer and having somebody take their pic next to the huge tracer box thing. so they could upload it to instagram or facebook or some shit. They literally had a little ramp you could walk up to so you could stand next to it. How is that not viral marketing?
Just bought 50 :)
Do the loot boxes affect the gameplay? Serious question.
>>338663272
I give it 3 months before everyone knows it's shit.
Of course by then the will have shilled it so hard that they can't stop playing without looking stupid, and will continue playing a game they don't like for the sole purpose of showing everyone else how much they enjoy it.
Screencap this, August 2016 is when we will see a second explosion of threads shilling the fuck out of the game
>>338665268
You can only get it from lootboxes, and it's only a chance item, like everything else. So you can get "25" currency maybe. Protip: the skins average 500 a pop.

Yeah. You can totally trust blizzard! They've only promised no more year long gaps at the end of wow expansions for the last 4 expansions only to have each gap longer than the last.

So now, what excuse does blizzard have for keeping this game a buy2play
The whole point was that there wouldn't have been a cash shop because you're buying it and getting all the cosmetic shit for free
But now there's a cash shop, so what's the justification for the price tag anymore
>>338665741
That tagline doesn't explicitly state 'microtransactions', it says 'optional content' which describes what a CE is pretty accurately.

Because dumbasses will pay for it.
>>338665786
but diablo 3 gives out patches with new items, areas and monsters for free and those two other games are f2p
>>338664517
Because after only 1 week of open beta the slog to get free chests was getting really long. Imagine how long it will be between free chests after a month, or longer. People will be begging to open their wallets to daddy blizzard for a chance at a skin.
>>338665749
>>338665757
Well, I don't plan on playing it, but even so. Is it that big of a deal? It's just the way these businesses work. Before anyone calls me cancer or some such, keep in mind that no amount of your refusal to buy the game, or complaining on /v/ or anywhere, is going to change that.
>>338665924
They aren't though?
I'm convinced the same people bitching about this also didn't know Hitman was going to be episodic either. You could have bitched about this a looooong time ago, you all just want something to be mad about.

It's really not a big deal, v just likes to shit on things.
>>338662980
I've been ignoring this game because of the blatant Blizzard shilling what this supposed to be?
>B-B-BLIZZARD WOULD NEVER CHARGE FOR MAPS!!
>Try to enjoy this game with friends so we pick who we like
>Team that we are on ends up getting steamrolled by a stacked cookie-cutter tier whored team with very little weaknesses or exploitation because no fun allowed.
It feels impossible to play this game for fun thanks to everyone needing to tryhard on Twitch so that Blizzard can pay them for shilling the game
>>338665915
>people have a tendency to buy cosmetics
>it's not important guys!
Hm, strange. Something is lining up here.
>>338663272
feels so good
>>338666024
Its not a big deal. /v/ is just retarded.
If they ever start charging for characters then there is something to complain about but this is just standard jewery
>>338662980
>buying boxes
>in any game that lets you
You can get all box content from playing tho. Someone who would actually purchase this thing deserves to be parted with their money.
>>338666024
It's just /v/ being /v/.
Blizz told us of payable loot boxes ever since they were revealed months ago. You also get one of these boxes everytime you level up.
>>338666136
Purchaseable cosmetics.
>>338665929
because it's just a way for whales to get more cosmetic items instead of playing the game for hundreds of hours, so they have more time for their wageslave jobs.
I would honestly take offense of it being a pay to play game if the items actually had any effect on gameplay, but I wouldn't rule out some scummy shit some years down the road. Almost all games that went the microtransaction route just couldn't fucking resist going full kike, and I won't put it above Overwatch.
>>338663840
But it's forty on console as well
>>338666024
again this means they'll prioritize making skins over making maps and characters, because skins make them extra money
>>338665786

>>338666181
>You can get all box content from playing tho.
You may get all the box content. "May" is the big word here
>>338666181
Someone already did the math and it was like 1700 hours played to get everything.
>>338663272
>blizzdrones will defend this
>tfw got enough out of the open beta
F2P when?
>>338664601
This.
Overwatch's low skill ceiling is what's going to end up killing it in the end.
>post yfw you did fall for the meme
>>338666218
I'm all for shitting on the retards who fell for the viral marketing but I don't see how it affects the game itself, all games have payable cosmetics
>Tfw a few weeks later they start releasing suspicious "SUPER ARMOR PACKS" making it P2W
>>338666136
When you level up in the game, you earn a loot box filled with cosmetics and equips. Everything can be earned in game, but they announced several months ago that impatient folks will be able to buy the crates instead of individual cosmetics. Everyone itt is just a slowpoke.jpg
>>338663406

I'm obviously not going to buy it, but that's how far I got in the beta and I got jack shit thanks to blizzard's jewish item rolls
I want to know how much it would cost to get nothing once again

Holy shit im gonna be edgier if that was any possible
>>338666578
Caps out at 22k xp per level. So once you hit that it just stays the same.
I've heard after a certain level, it resets entirely
>>338666556
Not the exact same thing.
Champions are not cosmetics
>>338666635
Then talk shit when it happens. Not about fucking cosmetics you aspie
>>338666449
It doesn't effect anything really.

they are retarded but why the fuck would you bother. fucking neets man

you know damn well the problem doesn't lie in whether or not they change gameplay, and you're only asking that question to stir drama
The point is the whole justification for the game being 40 dollars has now been thrown out the window if they're going to be selling the loot boxes in a cash shop anyways
But obviously you know this, but only ask fucking retarded questions on /v/ to get some (You)'s

Going on the value on skins/voice lines/intros/poses. It means you shouldn't have paid a dime for the game if they're going to lock you out of content.
You just got cucked into buying a f2p game.
Why wont anyone say why they waited until now to complain about the crates? I didn't even play the beta and I knew they were going to charge for them, shit they even told us. Why the late reaction when you could have stopped it from being in the game?

So its literally Team Fortress 2 with super powered freaks. You paid full retail for a game that still has basic things locked behind micro transactions, very similar to Free to Play games. What a fucking surprise.
Fucking idiots.
>>338667586

It helps that TF2 happens to be F2P and has a trading system.
I have to wonder, what is it like to spend your whole life getting blown out by Blizzard? People laughed at World of Warcraft and said it was doomed to failure - and not only was it a success on every level, it became a cultural phenomenon. Then Diablo III came along and people were mocking it for daring to be colorful - again, it became the premiere arpg of our time. It just keeps happening! Starcraft II - the definitive RTS. Hearthstone - the definite card game. And now Overwatch is the supreme team fps and the Warcraft movie is getting rave reviews.
Face it, Blizzard has always known what they were doing, and their name is synonymous with the best of the best. They have earned your money, and the loot crates are optional, cosmetic, and an excellent way to tell them "Thank you. Thank you for years of gaming quality. This is just a token of me giving back." And that's it! You're blowing a complete non-issue out of any recognizable proportion, more than likely due to base jealousy. I feel only pity for you.

I want there to be more items though, i understand it just came out, but is this a wow type of deal where they originally used to update their games with new items? This game wont last if they just let it rot, they gotta be constantly pumping out items and imo that's what they should do.
LITERALLY, -LITERALLY- NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT LOOTBOXES GIVING ANYTHING THAT CHANGES GAMEPLAY, STOP MAKING STRAWMAN ARGUMENTS AGAINST THAT SHITTY EXCUSE, YOU FUCKING BLIZZDRONES
Absolutely NOBODY has said that, except for the faggots making bait posts about "Well what does this change about the gameplay?" "How does this affect gameplay?"
fucking /r/overwatch faggots
THE POINT IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GAME BEING FORTY DOLLARS WAS BECAUSE LOOTBOXES WERE DROPS FROM PLAYING THE GAME, NOW THERE'S A CASH SHOP THAT YOU CAN BUY THEM IN, SO NOW WHAT REASON DOES THE GAME HAVE BEING 40 DOLLARS

TF2: FREE. TO. PLAY. GAME.
Overshit: $40 box price and still has a in-game cash shop selling the very shit that the box price was supposed to cover
>>338668415
Most of the skins are recolors.
>>338668425
and that perpetuates it
Its only bad when Nintendo does it, confirmed.
>>338668373

>>338668479
TF2 circa 2009: boxes you can buy that contain weapon sidegrades and cosmetics.
Overwatch: boxes you can buy that contain cosmetics only.
???
>>338668369
>aren't the loot boxes just cosmetics?
there's also a chance to get crusty funbucks to buy more cosmetics, the outrage is your buying crates with literally no guarantee you'll know what you'll get after paying forty bucks just to play
>>338662980
>poor fags so fucking mad
>implying they're holding a gun to your head and forcing you to buy them

That's a big part of it. If you're that concerned with skins that you let the game rope you into wanting them, then it's won.
If you're playing the game for the game, and not the skins, then the loot boxes are just a fun little bonus. If you're addicted to the loot mechanic, you need to stop, and the game probably isn't worth playing on its own.
I played the beta with muh friends and enjoyed the hell out of it, didn't really care about the skins at all, and the sprays do literally nothing. I just want to play with my group.
