Maybe the game just isn't for you then?. Because 21 characters and 12 maps with 3 modes with a hybrid one to boot as well as future characters and maps being completely free in the future is more than worth the money I paid. I also paid for TF2 at the time and then it went free which meant others got the game and it's content completely for free and that didn't bother me as much but you should know that content builds up over time more than anything.

I wouldn't be so quick to damn the game and slander it after a few hours play, unless of course you don't mind others slagging your games after no hours or even 3 hours of play, because that's exactly what you should expect in the future if you are willing to do the same.

Meanwhile I look at Battlefront with it;s high cost and extremely empty content along with a 50 Euro season pass that isn't going to give you the content in one go and more content in the future being sold in pieces as well, same with the unreleased Battlefield 1 that will split the community with map packs being sold as an expensive season pass. Some people here complain that £45 game is really expensive but forget to look at the £80+ expenses to pay for the full experience with EA and Activision shooters, and no extra modes or maps are not meant to rack up to £80+.

Also being able to pick a different character in the game is the same thing you do in TF2 when you die..... That is in no way unbalanced at all, in fact you are allowed to change your loadouts for some shooters and even classes during each game.

The first ever trailer I saw for OW was the moment I knew that it was going to aim to be like TF2 but more Pixar looking. The fact they said "we won't charge extra for maps and characters with cosmetics being the only micro trans" immedieatley set it apart from the current typical shooters out there who depend on those hyped season passes and their own over hyped marketing, just look at BF1, that got much higher than the latest COD video and OW along with the fact they went out to say "micro trans and map pack dlc", which means they are openly still sticking with their desire to keep you split up unless you pay and the majority eat that up each iteration.

Marketing affects different people. I didn't expect mind blowing huge changes to be made by that game, especially seeing as how Hearthstone hasn't blown the world apart for playing it safe for a MTG clone, just like OW being a clone of TF2 and SC being a clone of Warcraft.

The numbers drop for every MP game all the time, especially with ones that split the community for more cash and Blizz isn't charging more and more for maps and characters which gives them a better chance than BF/COD in the longrun. COD isn't going to steal absolutely everyone, especially not on PC, oh god not even by an absolute longshot will they not cap much of the PC audience, not with their fucked up port jobs and very expensive games that hardly ever go down in price.

5-6 hours is short for me, especially for looking at actual reviews which tend to put in more than that to get the full scoop of the game. Also I've been bored by RPG's before even the 2 hour mark, same with some MMO's that boast big content and WoW's last expansion was a complete letdown. I don't think we should br dragging RPG's and singleplayer games into this topic though, it;s going to become obvious and stick out like a sore thumb, especially with Goat's current thread on MP bias.

If you didn't enjoy it within the few short hours then it definitely isn't your jam. I played a few Civ games for 2-3 hrs and I knew the whole franchise wasn't my jam, same with Total War.

Why you come with exclusives to me? the game isnt one.

you know if the game would have a story, a singleplayer campaign maybe they would be a reason to find out. But this is just another online only shooter.

I played Unreal Tournament 3s MP so i played Overwatch, thats how easy you can decide things if MP all there is. And on top of that overwatch is only 6.3 GB big, 

For example

Uncharted 4 is around 44 GB

Dark Souls 3 is 19 GB

Star Ocean 5 is 27 GB

Yep screams worthy of my 70€

Blizzard died back in 2012. I guess the process started earlier but that was when it really happened. Crazy how I went from getting the CE for pretty much every release to not wanting to buy the new games at any price. A card game, a moba, a lite mp fps, wtf is this. It's Valve all over again. Both are dead as developers as far as i'm concerned. They should move to mobile cause that's where these games fit best

same here i have bunch of Blizzard CE

Game of the year so far for me and quite easily so. It has the most important ingredient games need - FUN - something most AAA full price game lacks. Single player campaign or not. Todays generation of gamers are so spoiled it's ridicoulous. Why would it be free to play? They arent a charity organisation you know... F2P games have more extensive mini transactions, Overwatch doesnt need any of those to play all the characters and maps.


The amount of people not even playing the gaming yet have a full sized opinion about it is hilarious.

The "It must have SP and all my wildest dreams involved or it;s not a good game" crew should really just stick to what they clearly love best, SP only games and just leave the MP games to those who love them. Battlefield and COD along with Planetside 2, TF2, CS, many other shooters have no actual story injected into their core multiplayer matches because that's not what we play multiplayer competitive shooters for, if you truly think that is exactly what they should be then I'm sorry but you should just step back and stick with SP games because that is not what MP games are made for or aimed at.

You played an arena twitch shooter like UT3 so that qualifies you to speak factually on the quality or value of a completely different type of shooter from a completely different studio. All while complaining that other people have a bias LOL.

Also, who gives a shit about how big the file size is? I guess you think Gods and Generals must be one of the most value packed movies ever? Nonsense :)

Not asking for 10/10's at all but I'm not blind enough to take notice of people who are cray for SP games, who hold them up high and go "meh" to shooters or MP based ones and then turn around to complain about them, it really doesn't add much weight to the topic at hand because we know how those debates are played out. You'll eventually notice how dull and irksome it can become when the same guy(s) who dislike MP based games will keep coming in complaining that they aren't pandering to them or fitting their desired spec dreams, all without taking notice that maybe the game isn't aimed or suited for them.

I don't like the Total War or Civ series for example but I don't dare demand they turn strictly into C&C games to appeal to me or knock down their quality/score, I'd rather just ask someone else to make a new C&C game instead.

People who go gaga for SP games with a good story are going to go crazy for them and praise them to the heavens, then they look at an MP only game and complain that there is no story and that there should always be a story in them despite the fact that both have always operated and been presented differently, do you think there is logic in one that clearly likes one but not the other because it's not exactly like the first making any sense?.

No it shouldn't but at the same time it doesn't really make much sense eityher, just like the rtecent WoW reviovews that pan it because it's "trying" to be a LotR and GoT when in reality it's WoW trying to be WoW and none of them bother to understand the IP because they never played nor were interested in WoW.
