Overwatch

Who are you even quoting?

>Get used to microtransactions
How about fuck you, buddy? If you charge me money for a game and then put microtransactions in that game, I will stop all support of your game from that point forward.

>>323091236
Would you rather they charge 50$ per hero and a 2x damage multiplier?

>>323091236
Then I guess you can't play any games, since they all have DLC

>>323091672
Here's an idea; how about you charge me sixty dollars for a full game and then give challenges I can complete with those characters to unlock skins?

>>323092054
Or you know, you can just not buy skins.
They don't do anything for you you know. Their like TF2 hats, they just look fancy. Your opinion is invalid faggot.

>if it's not as popular as lol and dota its a flop

>>323092762
Even if it didn't flop, it certainly didn't succeed.

>>323092197
Or you could just keep buying and supporting these bullshit practices while I enjoy all the games released this year that offer DLC for free/substantial content that is well worth the price of admission.

I will, thanks. They're marketing towards me and making a game I like playing mechanically, and I enjoy all the communication the devs make on social media and on the OverPwn site.

I also enjoyed playing during the stress test weekend and will buy the game on release for $40.

Is this thread cathartic for you? I'm happy, I guess you deserve a chance at being somewhat happy too.

Blizzard shills out in full force today.

Remember that advertising budgets for games can easily run over $10 million, depending on the expected return. Paying a group of 20 people $10 an hour to shitpost on the Internet barely makes a dent in marketing budgets.

You'd have to be a moron to think there aren't shills.

Except everybody did give a shit. TF2 going F2P was literally the worst thing to happen to the TF2 community. It's selling better than ever and player counts are the highest they've ever been, but don't even fucking TRY to tell me that the people playing aren't meme spouters or Russkies or that the community is anywhere NEAR the level it was in skill back before it went F2P.

>>323093112

>>323094465
You didn't answer my question and go accusing me as a shill.

What's wrong with cosmetic micro transaction?

It's pretty pathetic the lengths Blizzdrones will go to justify their interest in pure garbage that will go F2P within a month of release because CS:GO and TF2 already has everything the FPS crowd wants.

Blizzard might as well just give away everything to Valve. It's obvious Blizzard is incapable of delivering anything of value in 2016.

>>323094738

Legion will flop
Hearthstone will die out
HotS is dead
Warcraft the Movie will flop
Overwatch will be successful for a while but will fall apart over time (see: WoW)

Blizzard is doomed. They'll rely on Starcraft 3 or a Starcraft MMO or a Diablo movie to save the but it'll be too late.

>>323094782
>RoS sold 30 million+

that seems.... high, especially in today's market

I actually do hope Overwatch kills TF2, not because I like Blizzard but because I hate Valve and their faggoty-ass fanbase so much more

>>323095876
Overwatch is pretty much a guaranteed flop. Multiplayer-only paid games are unacceptable in 2016. Maybe if it were F2P it would have stood a chance, but nope. Not like F2P would be actually free like Dota 2. It would be P2W like HotS and Hearthstone.

Not even Star Wars could entice people.

>>323093521

I'll take skins micro transactions over dlc characters and maps , I would prefer everything already in the game but that doesn't happen anymore so the latter is better.

>>323091236
Microtransactions are acceptable when in-game currency is easy to acquire and those who do not purchase are not at a true disadvantage (e.g. Garden Warfare.)

F2P games can have either a purchasable in-game currency or premium accounts; I will not play a game with both.

>>323097130
So Just Cause should be $20

And you say "i'm" deluded? If your precious game can't hold itself on gameplay, then no amount of graphics and Tara Strong/Nolan North ego stroking will fix it.

Blizzard threads are always filled with EA/other companies shills.

That's why every person who says something positive about overwatch is called a shill and the threads derail. Bitches are scared because blizzard is actually making a great game.

Other threads dont have nearly as much shill talk being thrown around.

>>323099616
i guess that would be a good plan if your ultimate goal was to make your product as cheap as possible, but that isn't most devs goal.

For better or worse people are very used to paying 40-60 dollars on games with high end graphics and care about those graphics a great deal.

Amusingly enough, Blizzard chose their words very well. They said that for 40bux, you get "access to all the heroes CURRENTLY in the game"

Meaning, if they later on add paid heroes, they can still cover their asses (^:

>>323100454
More popular = not dead and getting support. Nobody wants to play a dead online game like Tribes: Ascend or WoW.

>>323100463
Unclear, they didn't like how the first tests worked out with it because it made people not switch heroes just to level up, which is bad for teams that need to adjust.

>>323100464

Stop moving the goalposts. The point is that it's wrong to charge 60 bucks for a multiplayer or singleplayer-only experience. Just because people think it's okay doesn't magically make it so.

Before you bring it up, yes, I do have the authority to say that it's wrong to charge that much, because other companies have done far better at lower prices.

>>323094465
They don't contract individual people. They hire marketing firms that do the marketing for them. Most of these viral marketing companies use bots to do the actual marketing.

>>323100424

>>323100064
Valve haven't produced a worth while update for TF2 in over a year at least, I know it's longer but I can't be arsed going and looking.
Every update now is just more ways to make money, you even have to pay into their events, everything is community made and it's all just hats and skins.
And as for valve itself, they've been doing some dodgy shit too, but everyone gives them a free pass on the bullshit they pull because all their eggs in one basket levels of Stockholm syndrome.

>>323100504
Except they went ahead and announced that all future maps and heroes will be free

>>323100463
Blizzard said they wanted to put in some system with unlockable cosmetics in overwatch but they didnt want people to grind out one character just to get them because overwatch is all about "dynamic team composition".
They're thinking about alternative way for now and haven't confirmed anything.
Most shit will still be paid though. They want to make money somehow

>>323100463
Devs have said there will be a progression system of some sort that will most likely give you skins for hitting certain milestones. They have apparently tried out a few systems and havent been happy with any of them as of yet

Nice missing the point entirely. I'm the one arguing that games shouldn't need a tacked on multiplayer. If you're gonna have it, it should be good and then have a singleplayer designed to make you good at it. Something more than just a glorified tutorial.

IF your game has no multiplayer, then the game has to be cheaper. No singleplayer is worth 60 dollars.. I'm not paying for a game that's half-assed.

I totaly agree with from 659. TF2 is one big advertising slogan. Cosmetics out of the Lore just killed this game. Last time(about 1 month ago) when I entered to game, it was totaly garbage of diodes hats with effects, totaly out of lore pile of junk hats etc. Valve literaly killing every game cause of that Jewish Blood in their veins, TF2 isn't the only one, DotA2 itm is in Agony, becouse it becaming same pile of junk.

Usually I agree with /v/ about the shittiness of modern AAA games, but then a great game like Overwatch comes along and everyone still hates it. You faggots just blindly hate anything popular without playing it or applying critical thinking.

People calling it "casual" LOL, I'm sure you're a pro at Quake right?

>>323101524
if thats how you feel then thats fine i guess, just know that not very many people feel that way and its unlikely the market will cater to you given the general populace's predilections.

>>323101705
It's the only moba that tries to do new things and bring some freshness to an extremely stale genre. Blizzard stopped trying to make it an esports game and went for boring ol' fun.

People here are old enough to know that Neo-Blizzard and Blizzard aren't the same people. Blizzard USED to make good games a long time ago, but not now. Nobody does or at least should be playing their new games.

when has anyone ever said that?

Valve uses a different model because they have the very well established steam workshop and can effectively give games away with the relative certainty that they will make significant microtransaction money off of them.

Combine that with a system that has the community doing most of the legwork in creating those cosmetics and valve would be fools not to price their games as low as humanly possible.

Im not trying to say blizz is the best ever or even the overwatch will be good, just that you have to look deeper into an issue before you declare you understand exactly how things work.

They aren't free stuff if I have to pay $40 for the game itself in the first place, retard.

>>323103676
Your sense of what quality is isn't fact

>>323103064
It's pretty easy, true. But the missions have nice variety and are pretty fun. Some missions are pretty tense on brutal, mostly the defense ones though.

>>323103080
Do you play D2 without LoS?

>The multiplayer is so good that it's completely dead and all the Korean SC2 pros have moved back to BW.
That's simply not true. There are always some guys that were once good at a game, fail at a new one and go back but the SC2 scene is still much bigger.

More "pros" went back to WC3 than to BW.

>"RoS fixed everything!" Except it didn't fix the game being a complete insult to D2 and dumbed down console crap.
But D2 was dumb as fuck too. Diablo was never some hardcore franchise. It could have easily been on console.

>LoL does that already and even it has more depth than HotS. Also It's pricing is much more reasonable.
The pricing is exactly the same in terms of real money but Hots makes it a bit easier to get shit for free without grinding out games thanks to dailies.

Speak for yourself, faggot.

>>323103563
Doesn't matter. Dota 2 offers them for free anyways.

>>323103689
They started adding more torment levels lately

>>323091124

Realistically speaking: How much did HotS flopped?

>can make tons of extra money by including skins you buy with real money
>decide against it cuz some autist anon got made at me on 4chan

Why do you faggots always blame the dev? This is obviously the fault of the consumer as they've grown obsessed with instant gratification.

>>323103907
You've been saying "we" all thread, diaper. Take your own advice

>>323103903
D2 was fine without LoD. They were called rares - something that got somewhat gutted in LoD and completely shafted in D3

>>323103903

>But the missions have nice variety and are pretty fun
What variety? You just mass a death ball and win.

Gonna be played for about 3 months
Then it'll disappear into obscurity

Great waifus though

e-sports wise? Completely
Casual play wise? It's done ok. Not amazing

The game was made with consoles in mind so of course it has dumbed down controls.

>>323103837
The initial cost is to recoup development costs, and the skins are to sustain the maintenance needed for a long running online game. You know, like lots of online games.


this feels especially petty when free characters and maps have been promised in the future to ensure everyone will always be on a level playing field. If that promise gets broken then ill be very unhappy, but as of now the devs seem quite committed.

>Do you play D2 without LoS?
D2 wasn't always online console crap without LoS.

PoE is the true successor to D2 anyhow.

>>323104175
How are you posting if you don't have internet?

I like the fact that the game costs $40. It's going to keep out the trash that plague all the f2p games.

>>323104050

You've been samefagging a lot, so yes you are.

>>323104085
Yes but you do it in different ways or with timers, limited resources and other fun gimmicks.
I really don't see how you can make an RTS campaign where you make "Death balls" completely unviable. SC1 was the same way.

WAAAH WAAAH WHY MUST GAMES COST MONEY??? ITS 2016
