My solution is to just refuse to support a game if it has any microtransactions at all, including Battleborn and Overwatch, and sadly I'll have to add TF2 to that list soon.

Do you know why? Not because it afffects online balance in these games, but because it fosters an egocentric community of children who refuse to play the game and instead would rather jerk off to their reskins and cosmetics. Look at how many threads occur here on /v/ about Overwatch. None of them EVER discuss gameplay, and it's always posting SFM porn, or posting skins as if that constitutes any good discussion of the gameplay. And of course I need not mention how it's affected TF2, and how many idle/trade/minecraft servers I've had to add to my filter.

Microtransactions will forever be a bad thing, and I've seen enough evidence to know that this will never change.

I never get why people care about this shit, video games are a business and its hard to say no to people being retards and wanting to pay for shit you get for free from playing the game anyway. I play Overwatch but I'm never going to pay for a loot box just for cosmetic shit because I'm not an impatient dumbass, I'm fine with them being sold though.

I have a problem with loot crates and reskins existing because of it turning the community into obsessive children. Look at what happened to Counterstrike and DOTA2.

>Does Overwatch have single player?
Legitimate complaint, but the game style doesn't warrant one. If it did have a singleplayer it would be a mess like battleborne's, just repetitive missions (but without the XD quirky sarcastic dialog)

>Does Overwatch have PvE?
like singleplayer, unnecessary since there are actually people playing the game online lol

>Does Overwatch have co-op?
nigger what? are you retarded

>Does Overwatch have unlockable characters and gear?
So you prefer tedious grinding before you're even allowed to enjoy the full game?

>Does Overwatch have leveling up (by that I mean abilities)?
worst fucking argument on here, why would devs encourage a power gap between new players and those who spend all their time in the shit game, forcing out anyone who might be interested. That shit works in something like WoW but not in an arena shooter.

>Does Overwatch have tons of different gear and ability loadouts for each character?
Congrats! you found 1(one) area where Battleborn has done something (subjectively) better than Overwatch.

Please go kill yourselves all Gearbox shills, your company is in the dirt where it belongs, just let it rot. It doesn't matter if you compare every aspect of the games side by side, Battleborn is just bad, ugly, and nobody is playing it.

so you got an invite to the closed alpha? and you arent streaming?

Overwatch CAME with microtransactions. Sure they suck, but Blizzard at least didn't add microtransactions later on copying another company and to stop their game from dying.
>>
>>341931450
For a competitive game? Fucking yes everything should be unlocked from the start, apart from cosmetics
>>
>>341932669
I did and what's the point in streaming for 10 people?
>>
>>341932832
because every person matters for determining a games worth.

what makes you feel as though its an overwatch clone just because it has classes and is FPS? why not call it a TF2 clone? Because no hats?
>>
>adds microtransactions
>can't even play the game due to lack of players

Gearbox is pretty much dead at this point. They blew everything on this game and can't steal from other devs.
>>
>>341933064
I just called it an overwatch clone because that's the game I've been playing for the last couple of weeks.
Also, the classes in Lawbreakers have set weapons and skills as well as ultimates, unlike the classes in TF2.

The game feels clunky and the CTF map has a terrible overtime mechanic to it
>>
>>341933539
describe clunky, the gameplay ive seen of Katsune looks fluid especially with the grappling hook mechanic

>>341929997
overwatch doesn't lock anything behind the paywall. and you can preview all the skins and voices, etc.

stillborn locks stuff behind a paywall and doesn't let you preview skins.

stillborn isn't good just deal with it.

>>341935101
Should have said almost no mobility as she does have a leap ability but the charge up time is pretty high on that and I can't aim for shit with it.

That chick with the machine gun and the ability to fly doesn't feel as clunky, though. Guess I should have played more on those other classes.

however, if its ridiculous we are the only two even discussing that lawbreakers exists.

its as if they are pretending overwatch vs battleborn is democrats vs republicans
>>
>>341931135
>Unproven in a court of law
Doesn't mean they didn't do it. It is perfectly reasonable for people to be cautious or even animus toward a developer that has had wistleblowers come forward about illicit acts which as of yet have not reached a settlement in court. I'm sorry if this upsets you.
>You can't "steal" an art style.
You literally can. Not heard of plagiarism?
>>
>>341937460
I'm sure a lot of people don't know that the game even exists, it's still in an early alpha stage after all.

Also, it looks like very few people have got access to the alpha, seeing as there there are currently 9 people playing the game. I don't know if that's across the world or Europe only, though.
