Overwatch

Dafuqbro?

The game looks fun, but for $40/60 and a possibility to buy skins again - no I will pass probably too. Still they show a greedy model again and they will never learn.

And to be honest I'm curios about how they've managed to steal that much design from Read Dead Redemption's protagonist: McCree

YEP FanBoyssss will buy that.
In my in my opinion Blizz make BAD decision and Overwatch will end like Diablo 3 ...
There are also a lot of titles with similar gameplay coming out soon that will be F2P like:

• Gigantic
• LawBreakers
• Paladins

MY HYPE go Downnnn sad ;/

It is still a team play game like TF2 - definetly better to use F2P model if you want to play with the big dogs

Guild Wars is a game build ages ago too and to be honest I doubt that they made as close to Valve as money from TF2

They can simply use the same model as HoTS?

And yes you are correct about TF2, but that was ages ago... nowdays you have too many options on the F2P shooters market and Overwatch have to be one hell of a game to match the price tag.

It depends on what people want. If the player base wants to try out something new ( after playing the same game for a long time) they will try out the competition. Though the paywall will certainly keep a large portion of it out. Considering this is Blizzard we are talking about, they will probably make a decent amount of money out of it and go on to push the game on the competitive scene too as they did with Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm.

I haven't said they said anything about F2P but as the way the game looks - people did expected F2P

People was expecting it to be f2p because no matter how you sugar it, it just a class based fps with a pseudo moba ability system, that is only gloryfied because is made by blizzard

Actually Hearthstone brings a lot of money...for HoTS not so sure - Dota 2 and LoL are way ahead there

Well they are actually free (the standard edition), you have to pay to have the ''full expirience''

Yeah it is a mistery...

I only mind the price tag. In this type of games both models work depending on the game. I still will prefer like 10-15 heroes and option to buy more heroes later on a f2p over paying $40-60

I agree. I could have seen them taking a F2P + paid skins route like Dota 2. It would have been bad with a LoL-like model with restricted champions though. I think I personally prefer a b2p model (I'll probably just hope for a good discount though; does Blizzard do those?) since f2p communities are usually pretty toxic. I'm also still worried Blizzard will release future expansions with heroes that willll divide the player base. And +1 to never buying a game without knowing all the details.

Also, were was all this Overwatch love a week ago?

I don't think it's the initial price tag alone but the fact that the whole game is pretty much designed in a way to later ask for tons of money for additional content which you will need to stay in the game. Like how WoW is "free", yet if you want to actually do anything in it, you must buy all the expansions for the level unlocks, which makes the "free" game cost what now? 120€, plus the monthly subscription, plus possible microtransactions…

And why it is dumb? Because it comes from Blizzard? The price tag is high. The game is not something new as an idea(Warframe, TF2, Dirty Bomb...etc.) and on top of that B2P + extra milking - yeah this is one of the Blizz main courses in their history.

And you compare a game like Witcher 3(60 euro AAA gam) to this?

Yeah, if anyone else would have made it, probably not even tenth of the people would have heard about it or be interested in it in the slightest. It's like how Destiny was hyped because of Bungie, and we know how that 100 million dollars turned out to be. (Had to bribe to get an award, spent another year and millions to redo the entire game, changing core aspects twice or thrice now to make it finally playable.)
Otherwise, it would probably be another Titanfall. Another MP-only FPS that comes, burns bright for two months, then everyone leaves it for the next similar one.

Having less people playing your game is a pretty major screw up. A lot of people will not buy it at this price tag(bare in mind that on 2 of the biggest markets - Russia and China - this is a lot of money)

Yeah that is the sad part, that the name sells... not the quality. And we just talked with ZPavelZ ...and the russian price for Overwatch is 55$ for the regular version o_O

and CSGO generates money from drops too

If you get it on a sale, it's like 5$ XD. And you can get your money back if you are lucky with drops.
