I personally think it's a bit overpriced on consoles, but bought it regardless, because it's just a ton of fun, and I know personally I'm gonna be putting in enough time to give me my money's worth because I play very competitively with a lot of my friends.

I think the $40 entry price on PC is just right, but if you love multiplayer shooters you can easily stomach the 60 on consoles, for what is definitely one of the most fun ones I've played in some time.

I also played the BETA on PC and Consoles and it was really good on consoles. Maybe I am saying that because i have friends i can play witch on Consoles and on PC not

The game is designed like a F2P game and they are selling it... ugh.


I've played the beta for both Overwatch and Paladin. I loved the shit out of Overwatch, then I played Paladin. It's a similar game and it's actually a much better game. A lot more intense and the gameplay is much smoother.

Isn't it irrelevant though? Consoles are so much cheaper than PCs, console owners must be swimming in money.

The microtransactions in Overwatch, are the same as GTA V's. You just buy the lootboxes. So you don't have to waste time unlocking. This is for lazy people, who have no will power. Or people who don't have the time. Everything can be unlocked by just playing the game. I got the GTA V Cargo Plane. By playing the 2 player heist, for a month. To just get the 2 million.

If you can do that. You can unlock everything in Overwatch. Hell, Overwatch is a lot fare. BEcause you can win in game money to buy the unlocks too. And if you get a duplicate unlock. You get money, as offset. I've unlocked 10 things for Zarya. With in-game money. And nothing from the random loots. Except money, and other characters.

Microtransactions are all cosmetic (you should know if you played the game. New characters, game modes, and maps are coming free of charge. The price point actually prevents hackers, and unless you plan to play a really old game, overwatch is the only one of its kind right now.

Population is not gonna plummet anytime soon

Important gameplay aspects will also never be locked behind a price point, it's all cosmetic

Caps locks makes it true? I guess, well as long as you understand my first statement now... and by that I mean you were able to read the exact same post again but with the words underlined for ease of reading.

And no I don't hear the posts I type, I often don't have to speak them aloud while typing, but perhaps it helps some people?

Pretty sure there is zero content from league of legends which isn't available with the in game currency rather than paying for it, same thing you just do the time and unlock the champions as you play more and more, skins have zero impact on the actual gameplay.

I'm not sure though, are you saying the fact that the loot boxes are just cosmetic items means they are not micro transactions? I mean what would you call them so? dlc? because they aren't adding anything extra to the game which isn't there already, just wondering what people who think they aren't micro transactions would refer to them, just out of interest.

So it should. Because there isn't enough game for the asking price, simple as that.
Same thing went for Halo 5, for a Halo game it featured less than it's predecessors (I.E. No Forge, not many maps etc'), so the updates had better be free.

Still zero need for Microtransactions other than it being a cash grab... It also leaves room for Microtransactions to be expanded upon in future patches so that it plays a larger role in the game.

It's still a money grab, it's still Microtransactions and it still shouldn't even be in a game that isn't even full-featured and fleshed out.
A couple of game modes and a dozen maps isn't worth the full asking price, same went with Titanfall, StarWars Battlefront, Evolve. etc'.

And yes. I do know. I do own the game.
Overwatch is a rarity in console land, you do have competitive titles like Battleborn and Team Fortress 2 in the Orange Box. - Not PC, on PC, games like this are on almost every virtual street corner, you have Battleborn, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite, Dirty bomb, Gigantic, Battlecry, LawBreakers, Paladins, Paragon, Super MNC and many more.
Overwatch ranks up near the top in terms of balance and overall presentation, but in many aspects games like Team Fortress 2 still have the edge in many aspects and will continue to do so for the near future. Oh and it's actually free.
