Yeah.... I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $60 on what I've seen so far.

I think it will probably do fine on PC but on consoles the Blizzard name especially when it comes to shooters doesn't mean very much.


edit:looks like its $40 dollars. Hmmm... Still don't know. Maybe.

edit2: Maybe I should read an article before I post. Apparently there will be a $40 dollar version on PC but the console base edition is $60.

Yeah console base is the $60 version with skins and such

Watching the panel now. No console/PC crossplay (duh), Pharah most played in beta

They're going through the new stage now. Looks cool.

My issue is they need to be more clear up front about what their future business model will be and I have a feeling they are not going to be.

I'm not going to buy a $60 dollar game and then later buy another $60 dollar pack to keep up with the new heroes. I'm not going to buy a premium priced game and then get looped into a never ending string of moba style DLC I need to purchase to keep up with the scene. That is one of my problems with Destiny (among others)

Isnt ut kind of the same with any shooter now?

I get your point though, kind of what makes me not commit to one shooter anymore. By the time id start to get the hang of it id have to buy dlc

With most traditional shooters, its normally fairly straight up about what they are adding. COD always adds 4 map packs. Battlefield does the same and adds in a few guns. But in nearly all of these cases none of what they add is especially game changing. It's more about I'm sick of the 12 base maps that were in the game and here are 20 more for you to play on if you want that.

Overwatch feels a lot more like a MOBA model where the meta changes around which heroes are more useful and powerful based around the current balancing. And MOBA's add in characters all the time. So to me this feels like the worst of both worlds. Its got the free to play potential of a never ending flow of DLC like a moba has but eveybody is also being forced to pay $60 dollars and then maybe have to pay for extra characters on top of that. At least in LoL you can grind out in game currency and "buy" any character for free and DOTA just straight up lets you use any character and makes their money off cosmetics.

Also games like DOTA and LoL are able to guarantee a massive base of players of all skill levels because of their free to play status. Once you put a game behind a paywall that immediately narrows the player pool. Probably won't be an issue on PC or early on but on console and after people start to move on to other games even temporarily, it may be noticeable.

Of course it all depends on how Blizzard is handling all this which is why they should be upfront about it imo instead of being all coy and pretending like they don't know how they have it planned for the future.

I'm just assuming it's going to be like Destiny with $20 content packs every few months and $40 expansions once a year. If the game is fun and the community is big enough on PC, I don't mind paying that.

I don't mind whatever model they choose honestly. I mean I may decide not to play because of the model but that's fine. I kind of just want them to say what it is. They are a big corporation. They absolutely have a model plan in place. I don't like this bullshit about "We are figuring it out".

yeah it's such obvious horseshit, but the backlash against the Destiny model probably has them wary of spelling out their plan.

Destiny getting nerfed from a true MMO to back down to FPS with levels and Overwatch also turning from MMO to FPS arena shooter has me wondering if Activision handed down a "no more MMOs" edict.

I'll probably preorder, not til the day before release though. No need to do it before.

Really enjoyed playing Lucio, Soldier, and Roadhog. Didn't expect to like those last two but goddamn they are fun and suprisingly efficient at killing others very quickly.

They announce here that all future maps and characters will be free.

That pretty much destroys any of my fears of this turning into a destiny situation so I'm down. Good on them for clearing this up.

Re: Overwatch - new blizzard ip
« Reply #94 on: December 07, 2015, 06:16:52 PM »
whew.

The alternative would have been super shitty since you can counter characters on the fly just by switching them midgame.

In other news, I'm finding Zarya in particular to be pretty hype. Getting that clutch bubble to defend your teammates and being rewarded with a fucking death ray :lawd

I'm pretty sure it's an open beta. I tried it earlier and from what I can tell it seems cool, but it's almost unplayable due to lag right now. I'll give it a shot in the am/afternoon tomorrow and hopefully it'll be smoother
