Yeah. I'm not sure I really believe much of what you said, including the fact that Recore will be $50 AUD. If Overwatch and Recore are priced the same, why would Overwatch be twice as much where you live? I also think the budget and man hours spent making Overwatch was probably much larger than the budget and man hours spent making Recore. I'd be willing to bet on it.

All in all, you're just someone who either A.) never bought Overwatch, but says he did so he can talk shit about it or B.) really regrets buying Overwatch, so he talks shit about it. I don't know what being a PC gamer has to do with anything, but I do know that Overwatch was $20 less for PC gamers and that all DLC is free. That's pretty rare these days and Blizzard should be receiving praise for it.

Also, in case you didn't know, most of the world didn't pay what you paid for the game. Stop blaming Blizzard for your country's pricing of video games problem. We all know it's not just Blizzard.

Single player games involving story, character development, lots of motion capture, scripting, sound bytes' etc'. Will always be more complex, more expensive and require more development time than a multiplayer-only game that released with a dozen maps and 3 game modes.

Good thing I don't need you to believe it for something to be true.
But here you go Recore: https://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox-one-206797-ReCore-Xbox-One
50 bucks AUD.
Overwatch: https://www.ebgames.com.au/xbox-one-210385-Overwatch-Origins-Edition-Xbox-One
Boom. $100 AUD.

And whether I own overwatch or not? I actually do. See here:  https://xboxgamertag.com/search/Pemalite/xbox-one

And being a PC gamer has everything to do with it, Brood Wars/StarCraft 2, Diablo 2/3 etc' all got updates which added features and more content for free, Blizzard does it more often with it's games than it doesnt.
Most games allow for some degree of modding also, allowing for more free content.
Some games (Like Left 4 Dead) actually had DLC cost money on console, but were free on PC.

Overwatches main competition is Team Fortress 2, free game, with free content, free updates and has more content than overwatch.

In the end, the fact of the matter is... ReCore is HALF the price of Overwatch here and is easily good value for money, Overwatch is overpriced.

Of course, none this invalidates the work put into recore, but none of recore's work should invalidate overwatch's. Both in my mind are great for $40. However, saying one is good value at $40 and making a 180 and saying the other is a $40 cash grab is pretty hypocritical

I do agree with you. However Overwatch is a cash grab at $100 AUD. Recore will likely be good value at half that price.

I am done talking to you about the price in Australia. I DON'T CARE And neither do most of the people that have his game. Because most people don't live in Australia and the game was $40, just like Recore. I would be willing to bet you on the fact that Overwatch cost much more than Recore. Also, I laugh at the fact that you still think TF2 is a competitor. Newflash! It's not! And it never will be. TF3? Maybe. But TF3 isn't a thing. A 9 year old game is not competing with a Overwatch, plain and simple. And if you're a PC gamer, you should have bought Overwatch on PC. Would've saved you some money.

To summarize, Overwatch is a great game that has sold a fuckton and is the definition of not a cash grab. I'm sure Recore will be a great game as well and I look forward to getting it if the reviews are decent.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
