Every time a new hero is released, a tons of new cosmetics will come with it that people will willingly empty their wallets for.

Honestly. I'm liking this model the more I see it

It's always wierd seeing free dlc tho after so many years of seeing dlc abused

 

[deoee]

I thought they said it was going to unlock today? What time does it unlock.

High noon

[Tecnniqe]

I honestly feel bad for the Battleborn team, they made the wrong game at the wrong time :/

Time and marketing was off. Also the price considering.

It may be worth $60 but competing vs $40 for OW on PC probably didnt help

 

[XANDER CAGE]

What does the future of this game look like if all maps and heroes are free.

Is the business model just going to be to keep adding new stuff and keep the retail price high?

I'm sure there will eventually be cosmetic purchases. Also, I can see the merchandising for this game being *massive*

 

[Stone Ocean]

7 hours from now

Careful, you might be called obnoxious for posting about anything remotely fan artsy.

So it looks like the cdkeys.com codes went out, but mine says "EU" for some reason (I'm in Canada). Does blizzard usually have issues with different regions on codes?

It comes up as global in Battle.net

 

[Dance Inferno]

Blizzard said they'll allow people to buy loot boxes, which I assume will be the crux of their business model. Reminds me of Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, where you could buy booster packs but all the maps and characters were free to everyone.

Yeah about that...

[schaft0620]

Has anyone see a guide for what characters are good against other characters?

 

[LordGorchnik]

Will ask again but are either of special editions still available for digital order? Work has me locked down right now and unable to check.

 

[maouvin]

Please no error 37, Please no error 37, Please no error 37....

Error 37 has been promoted to Error

 

[Dreavus]

IIRC there are two codes: one for RU/CIS and one for global.

So you should be okay.

Hmm if that's the case it should be fine then. Does it say that somewhere in one of their FAQs?

Did you get two images?

Code 1 Link: Game Code
Code 2 Link: DLC Code

Like this?

Spoiler

Just checking :|

Yes.

The first image says
"Overwatch Origin's Authentication Key - EU"
**Key**

Second one is just the key

EDIT:

It comes up as global in Battle.net

Good to know, I'll try it out.

 

[rdytoroll]

I could get this game tomorrow with a trade in for PS4, but I really want it digitally. Fuck swapping out discs all the time. So I have to wait till it's at a better price and the PS4 store almost never has good deals on newer games

You guys have fun tho!

Yep. People keep saying stuff about selling skins separately and how are they making money, all this stuff. They've said all along they planned to let you buy loot boxes. There are enough cosmetics that for people who don't play a lot that will basically be how they get them. People who play a bunch should be able to eventually get everything and sort of stay 'up to date' as new shit comes out I would imagine.

The CE was never 'digital', and the Origins Edition is available, I doubt it ever won't be.

 

[vypek]

apr 22. gonna bug customer service and see if i can't get it tomorrow instead.

Thats insane. It wasn't even like you just ordered it late last night. Yeah, checking with customer service is a good idea. You might actually be able to get some store credit or partial refund on your order.

Hey now, Battleborn was a fantastic game and everyone that played the beta and said it sucked is just a hater alright.

 

[ThisOne]

Can I buy the game tonight at Best Buy or do I have to wait until midnight or tomorrow? I have not preordered, in case that matters.

[serenewarfare]

I see so many people comparing this to TF2, so it's odd that I love Overwatch but am super lukewarm on TF2.

You should be able to buy it today.

Well I hope theyre free and not free*

* = earn an asinine amount of gold to pay for "free" characters

I dont hate the game, I hate Randy Pitchford but besides that Battleborn made my eyes bleed when trying to watch it.

Like a color bomb on repeat

 

[Permanently A]

When the only way to get that Mercy skin is via limited premium-only Halloween event loot boxes I don't think I'll be able to resist.

Where are you trading it in? Sometimes I trade stuff in and just buy PSN credit with the credit. Could do that?

servers are up tonight (5pm Mountain time, etc). Check with your nearest best buy to see if you can go over an buy it now. But don't trust the web site as bestbuy.ca is still saying Tuesday as the release date.

Man, all these extras in the physical edition make me feel like its the 90s and early 00s again.

Is the Statue supposed to be black?

Rest looks juuuust right.

 

[rdytoroll]

At gamestop. Not a bad idea! Have a few older PS4 games I don't need anymore, I'll check that option out

 

[_Legacy_]

I'm so hyped for this, currently camping with the wife but will be playing this first thing when I get back tomorrow, also got Weds off. Anyone else off work for this game?

God i tried to like it but i played an hour of the beta and "noped" right out. The framerate (PS4) was garbage, the characters were not my style and the "humor" was horrid. BB is one of the worst games i've played in the last 6 months... but that's just me.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

[Permanently A]

If the statue was of any other character I would have picked up the CE. Even Reaper.
