I thought Quantum Break was pretty good.
Most gatcha games are F2P too. What does your personal purchase history have to do with my point?
I just want Blizz to actually put out more for it tho. This last push of arcade update was needed because having like 3 modes only in a game that already is low on content ( and maps) was insane.
Their entire content drop is insane in of itself.
edit: oh yea forgot about the lootboxes. Dudes out here doing youtube vids on 50 box unboxing with majority of them having dupes in it lol

It has nothing to do with a gatcha mobile game, for starters. You can find much worse examples of MTs in basically every other AAA game.

this thread is actually a honey trap to find the most horriblest people and ban them before they keep shitting up the place
It's the randomness that's problematic.
Mei got robbed.
Inside I can see, but Doom? What point does it have Overwatch doesn't exactly?

But the randomness is ok because it doesnt have an effect on gameplay

That you don't have to spend shit cause everything is cosmetic.
There is no problem with Overwatch's model outside of arguably being able to directly buy the cosmetics you want.
Will have to be fan-created.
The game isn't F2P. Also, the micro transactions have no impact on the actual game itself. They only change the way characters look. So you may not like the way they're handle their completely option and affect nothing. You're not getting locked out of matches or characters by some arbitrary clock that you have to spend real money on to override. The game you buy is all you will ever need and nothing more. And we get new, free content. Game is fucking awesome.
Don't even pretend buying loot crates is on the same level as the microtransactions in freemium games. That level of exaggeration is fucking gross.

My point is simply that people cut that game a lot of slack for using a loot crate real money system. I don't care that you can find worse examples, I never even contended it was the most egregious.
I thought you were making fun of him. My bad, sorry.
It uses the same basic gambling premise.

The reason that the content comes out so slowly is because Overwatch is an incredibly difficult game to develop and balance. Every new map and mode must work for every character in the game without any one character getting a clear advantage. It's frustrating to wait for all the content to come out, but there's reasons it takes so long.
I haven't had to pay a single cent for any crate just yet, and I've gotten literally hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of them.
Meanwhile I get all new content, heroes, modes, for free. I literally don't need to pay a single cent more for years and years of support.
Bingo.
Ok, then tell me what other cinematic action games were released this year bar Uncharted?
Thought the show itself was great, although I was pretty disappointed with Mass Effect and the Zelda gameplay footage (trailer was great).
People getting upset about which game won is bizarre, every game nominated for GOTY deserved it, Overwatch is astounding and new and is 100% deserving IMO.

I mean it's not great, but it's not like any of the bullshit freemium games out there.
Those micro-transactions affect the gameplay, these do not.
Freemium mobile games typically use wait timers to run up player's tab, making the system almost unavoidable if you want uninterrupted play. How is that like the microtransactions of Overwatch where, like others have stated, is purely cosmetic based and the player never has to interact with it to move on to the next game?

Hydro bot should have been used more.
I can only imagine your time played. What does that have to do with how it handles it's comestic purchases?
You people losing your shit like I said it was pay2win. I know you don't need to buy anything.

definitely agree
I completely agree. The double standard of Titanfall 1 vs Overwatch is hypocritical as hell.
I'm being very serious. The game has microtransactions but the way they are implemented is fundamentally different from something like candy crush or dungeon keepers. It's not a pay to win or pay to retry the level. So I do think overstating the impact of the microtransactions in Overwatch, calling it fucking gross and comparing it to how they're typically used in the mobile market is disingenuous.

I only would have enjoyed hydrobot if Verne Troyer emerged out of its chest in full pilot garb and grappled away into the rafters.

I'm speaking of draw systems many of those games employ, not the "energy" or whatever metric they might use to gate. The cosmetics are random drops, that's the part I find problematic.

I don't buy it. OverWatch had plenty of time to make more content available at launch that excuse is just not going to work for me.
Blizzard is an extremely large company with the resources to develop more content than almost any other developer on the planet. They didn't have a campaign or even lore to create. They only had to worry about maps and characters and it's still underperformed.

I kind of really hate what Blizzard has become.
the overwatch director said "i have to thank the amazing community for this award"
and i thought "you probably haven't had the same experience i've had"
but then he said "dicks out for harambe!"
and i guess he is the the shit community i've been playing with for the past six months

Are you really suprised by Kaplan? His everquest name was Tigole Bitties. I mean come on now. He hasn't changed.

I'm pissed inside didn't win but it was never going to win. I'm more mad doom didn't win.
Quantum Break? Gears? Both games clearly wearing their Uncharted inspiration on their sleeves even, especially the former. Mafia 3 when it's actually good. Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4.
And that's not even addressing the numerous cinematic first person games.
I agree that pay2win is the worst of the evils, but I really don't follow how people are so forgiving of a loot crate system especially considering the developer and nature of the product.

I think Overwatch is a fun game. I think it's the most fun game I've played all year. Hell I think Overwatch is my game of the year, because it provided me the most enjoyment this year.
Cheezits crust can't people just like a game because it's fun anymore? And yes fun is an opinion.
Always having to put everything into little compartments, this game is this and that game is that.
Oh and another thing. Calling people racist in this thread because they don't like music you like.... grow up. I hated the first music act. And not because the group had a black guy in it. But because I personally thought it was terrible music.
