$60 on Piss4

:^)

I've already bought a couple of $10 ones and a $20 one. Please send help.

I think the only people buying these are no life neets or kids with daddy's money.

They have to make money somehow, stop being entitled.

>buying it
RREEEEEEE

Don't buy it ya fagoloid

or completionist autists with a tugboat

No-life neets can't afford that.

Why would you buy them when you can get them for free? You aren't even guaranteed anything good.

>spending actual real money on virtual cosmetics
Maybe get some self-control?

Thats always the case.
help

What exactly is the problem?

It's just cosmetics, don't be a stupid faggot, go fucking play the game and level up you sad sack of shit

How long till it goes F2P?

Do people really want skins that bad? You don't even see it 99% of the time you're playing. People who pay for cosmetics are total idiots.

>WHY MUST THIS COMPANY FORCE ME TO BUY THIS ALTERNATIVE COSMETICS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hopefully never. I don't want BR's and CYKA BLYAD's infesting this game. TF2 going F2P was the final nail in it's coffin desu.

cucks will defend this

But hey, they need all that money to fix the "hit boxes"

I didn't buy them you autist.

no-life neets have all the time in the world to get everything by leveling up though

>OH CHRIST NO NOT COMPLETELY SUPERFLUOUS COSMETIC ITEMS FUCK

It's hilarious how far you faggots have to stretch to try and shit on Overwatch. Because POPULAR THINGS JUST CAN'T BE GOOD RITE GUYS?! EVERYTHING IS TORTANIC NOW!

The word cuck means nothing anymore

roooooooOOOOOOOOOO

>haven't bought a box
>level 54
>have gotten like 5 legendaries and have 600 gold after buying a bunch of dumb shit at level 45
One of the legendaries was actually a gold drop after spending like 400 gold and i felt the salt flow after that.

No, I like overwatch, and I'll still play it regardless. i'm just miffed at blizzard being corporate dickheads.

Weakest bait today

Well why are whining about it then?
They don't give anyone else an advantage for wasting their money.

>giving people options makes them dickheads

Never

>buying skins in an fps where you barely even get to see said skins.

K E K

More money than time.

rot in hell stillborn cuck

>defending microtransactions in priced games
Go fuck yourself. That's the only valid response to your shit.

>before release
>N-NO CASH SHOP, NOT 100% CONFIRMED YET, T-THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE RETAIL PRICE!!
>after release
>W-WELL IT'S JUST COMESTIC'S E-EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOING TO BE FREE FOREVER Y-YOU'LL SEE!!
damn am I laughing

If you keep playing it, you get boxes. If you bought boxes, it'll not be fun to earn boxes. Get mad at blizzard all you want, they're still a bunch of people trying to make money, this is the best way for everyone to get what they want overall.

>People actually spend money on lolrng boxes they get by playing the game for free

I will never understand millennial cucks.

>O-h shit, he's r-right. Uh, better resort to using m-my bait card. Hehehe that'll s-show him.

You keep throwing insults but you've yet to explain why this is a bad thing

Charging for shit that should have come with the asking price does make them dickheads, yes.

I'm actually impressed by the fact you called it a forty dollar game instead of sixty

>>Doing this in a $40 game
Its okay when BDO does it
Its okay when FFXIV does it
Its okay when does it
:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^)

They are cosmetics that don't change the game in any way. What is the problem?

If you go to an amusement park, you can buy Speed Pass for more than the entrance price and go to any ride you want first.

You pay 60$ to get in the amusement park and then 80$ to go in front of everybody.

Isnt that the same concept?

You get them for free you autist

It does come with the asking price though. You get a box every level and there is infinite levels.

You're wrong.
The people who buy these are those with jobs and tons of disposable income because they only get to play for an hour every other day but can easily afford buying loot boxes

>1990-2016
>buy game, get all the content

>2016+
>buy game, basic features/items locked behind gambling paywall

people defend this stuff now. even on Sup Forums. dont even try OP

Honestly i'd probably buy some boxes if i had some more spare change and the bought boxes had a better chance at giving good shit.

Money is a bit tight right now though so just getting them from leveling up will have to do for now. Already got two legendary skin drops and the legendary 500 coins drop and i'm only lvl 30. Bought the Lucio hockey skin and now all i need is the legendary safari Winston skin and i won't really care about skins at all.

When hell freezes over.

This.
>its better than tf2, you get cosmetics through the games unlike jewlve where you need to buy keys
Now
>shhut up it is just cosmetics, nobody force you to buy
Delusions I tell ya. At least tf2 items can be sold.

>bought 400 loot boxes and livestreamed opening them

My 23 viewers loved it

So is someone going to actually explain why this is bad or are we just going to throw buzzwords around for 300+ posts?

DUDE I HAVE A LIFE I CAN'T SPEND TIME PLAYING VIDEO GAMES LIKE A LOSER TURBONERD

Congrats you’re an idiot and a tool. The exact kind of people Blizzard’s jews are targetting. Don't come back here to cry afterward at your useless spraypaints sucker.

False.

Also, the game is not locked behind a paywall. You unlock cosmetic items. Just like in Diablo 2, you dont get ZOD runes for free, you have to "grind" them.

>People giving a shit about purely cosmetic stuff that has no actual impact on gameplay
>Meanwhile TF2 and CSGO have loot crates and keys and whatnot and people eat that shit up

>most of the legendary skins are divisive
>most of the blue skins are barely distinguishable from the base skin
>purple skins are generally okay
>boxes are like 60% white-white-blue-white anyway
>the skins you actually want can be bought with in-game currency, which is very easy to accrue once you have the level of dupes typical at about level 50 or so

There's literally no reason to buy the boxes unless you are like level 10 and the most impatient person ever to exist.

I'd buy some if there was literally ANYTHING special coming out of those boxes, like in Valve crates where you have a fraction of a percent of a chance of getting something.

But there's not. It's just skins you've seen a hundred times over. No unique items, no special snowflake stuff, just the skins you see over and over again. Kind of like LoL.

>I'd buy it if it made me a special snowflake
You are the worst type of consumer

>b-but microtransactions, guys! they're all ebil!
Die in a fire, faggot. Nobody with a brain gives a shit about entirely optional cosmetics that you can still get by just playing the fucking game.

>mfw
Wait till Blizz start charging for new characters or maps.

I have no idea why people either complain about this, or actually buy into the boxes. I'm only level 27 and I've gotten a ton of good shit. The exact Mei skin I wanted, a good Symmetra skin, the absolute best sprays for my most played characters, Chill Out for Mei and Play Nice, Play Pharah (the two indisputably best voice lines for them). Lots of other good shit. And even if I make it another 27 levels without getting the few remaining things I want, I have enough in-game coins to just buy them.

I guess it helps that I have better taste than almost everyone, and therefore realize that 90% of the skins are inferior to default.

It does come with the asking price you mong. What you don't like the fact that they gave an option for the people that are impatient, when literally everything can be earned without paying an extra cent?

The main problem I have with paid cosmetics in a pay game is that I'd consider these cosmetics to be part of the buying price. You can earn loot boxes with play time but I feel like the upper limit on points required is a bit high and it's easy to see that they'd make loot boxes take a little longer to get to encourage you to just buy them.
It CAN be done just to give people an additional option, but the fact that you can't just buy currency doesn't give me much faith in that.

>and therefore realize that 90% of the skins are inferior to default.
>being that guy

Already confirmed new maps and characters will be free and you can download them right from the get go, unlike something like Battleborn that has their characters locked behind timegates

No because that actually changes core mechanics instead of just aesthetics. If you were able to pay to change the color of the coasters you're riding on it'd be the same concept

What is it about Overwatch, and Blizzard in general, that triggers Sup Forums so fucking ridiculously hard?

Claim
>It doesn't affect the game!

Reality
>Mere existance of a pay2notgrind system causes the game to be designed in a more grindy manner

Popularity.

Sup Forums is full of tryhard underage contrarians. Always has been always will be, there will always be dumb children.

They got scammed by WoW

I bought some because I'm a richfag and I just want my goddamn mariachi Reaper skin. I make that much money in an hour.

It's becauze TF2 and CSGO don't have the hype and mainstream popularity of Overwatch, and Sup Forums is hipster as FUCK even though they'll never admit it.

If it's a popular game, Sup Forums is going to shit on it regardless, no matter how nitpicky they have to get, or otherwise they won't be "real hardcore gamers who don't eat up that casual normie AAA garbage," even if the game is actually really great.

You can get everything from the boxes you want in time by just playing the game. People without that time can just buy them

>REEEEEEEEE BUT I PAID FOR THE GAME AND WANT EVERY SINGLE SKIN THE SHILLS OWE ME!

Possibly, but the route Blizzard is taking is by selling random boxes that retards can buy for free updates to the game. EX more heroes and maps down the line. Piss and moan all you want about how blizzard is lying and updates wont be free, they haven't given any indication otherwise and it isn't a counter-argument.

I am happy with this system, because many games with skins are only unlockable via cash.

>W-WELL IT'S A NEW GAME MODE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE --BASE-- GAME ACTUALLY, O-ONLY NORMAL TO CHARGE FOR NEW CONTENT LIKE THIS, A-AND WE CALLED IT EXPANSION PACK'S IN 1970 YOU UNDERAGE NEW-FAG'S!!

>Implying it isn't already filled with BR's.

No. You pay to have more "fun" faster.

Western company, Sup Forums is a weeb hangout and always has been.

>Grindy
What are you grinding for user?
Theres no additional/loss of gameplay if you grind harder/slower
Its literally just cosmetics.

>the "grinding" is literally just playing the fucking game
What the fuck.

Rich streamers buy like hundreds of dollars worth of them and earn it all back almost immediately

Maybe it's the 100 fucking daily threads about the same waifus over and over again?

I have a friend who keeps looking for my validation to buy a bunch of cosmetic loot crates

How do I stop him?

The problem though is that it's easy to see some of the F2P model potentially leaking in. Like if there were no pay option, loot boxes being earned 20% faster for everyone. It gives them an incentive to dilute the game to encourage you to pay more money. None of that is provable for Overwatch but I do think loot boxes could stand to come in more frequently by a little bit more.

never
less than 10 second queues and good games

queuing solo is fucking retarded though

I bought two $40 packs.

As if Sup Forums didn't have hundreds of waifu threads before Overwatch?

>REEEEEEEEE
What is this? Some sort of mating call? Never seen a human make that sound before

>I'd consider these cosmetics to be part of the buying price

That's your problem, then. It was never once implied or advertised that you would get a bunch of skins for every character unlocked from the beginning.

How is changing the way your character looks when you can't even see them for 90% of the match considered the fun part of the game?

Its the autism screech.

Blame /r9k/ and frogposting

>and earn it all back

Yeah just with the video they record unboxing all of them.

How so? It only takes like 22k xp to level up after about 30, and it doesn't increase from there until at least 60, probably further than that too.
22k exp is barely 5-6 long games, equivalent to roughly 45 minutes to an hour of play.

This "grinding" is also just playing the damn game, it's not like you're going far out of your way to kill level 2 boars in a forest for a week to get a box.

Tell him that it will fuck up his sense of progression and kill his desire to keep playing and gaining levels. It will only make the game less entertaining.

what's even the point for skins in an FPS?

You won't be even seeing them for 90% of the time

>mfw I don't even have enough money for the base game

Hard lines help. You might need to compromise something like "You can get 10 but absolutely no more. I don't care if you only need one more D.Va skin to complete the set, no more after 10 period."
