I don't think these are the same people. The people who think in price per hour usually hate artgames

The complaint isn't that it's still $40, it's that playing on console incurs a mandatory $20 premium.

Ah. Yea that does suck. Although I thought it's generally accepted you are paying less on PC for almost everything. Nothing on consoles even come close to Cdkeys.com, green man gaming, or Steam Sales.

I'm not sure how I feel about that or the game itself, but I definitely object to 60$ being the money-grubbing option when the f2p model is explicitly set up so that you have to continuously spend money.

I don't think anyone was disputing that New Vegas is better than F3/4, in fact I'm pretty sure Freeside alone has more quests that feature zero combat than both Bethesda Fallouts combined. More that everything F3 does F4 does but better better (exploration, combat, etc). Writing/plot is not one of those things.

Blizzard sells their own games directly, and they're usually $60.

The best part is that everyone there could have survived if they just got behind the big pillar in the middle right before it blew. Her ultra is insanely weak once people know how to counter it (line-of-sighting behind even the tiniest piece of terrain rather than running away).

So is Overwatch the kind of game you buy digitally or physically. Seems like a lot of content will be added over time and the playerbase will always be there so even if you're sick of it you'll come back later?

Haven't played the beta, just trying to decide if I should buy the game

In my experience with Splatoon, a game like that is definitely the kind you want to have on the system, so you can load it up whenever and enjoy.

I know this is the PS4 thread, but I am wary of any long term sustainable online multiplayer on console. The best time to play any sort of console multiplayer game is the closer to launch you can get. What happens to a player base is anyone's guess as time goes on.

There isn't really another big online shooter game until September/October? I guess.

Well the COD playerbase dies simply because a new one is constantly released at the same time annually, and most everyone jumps ship at least eventually

Also guessing it's two different fanbases

I wouldn't say it's fair to say that Overwatch has an existing fanbase that's distinct from the COD fanbase. It's very different from what Blizzard's done before, at least Heroes of the Storm has some passing resemblance to Warcraft III. If the game will succeed(and it probably will), it's going to have a large part of that COD playerbase.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Does the star wars battlefront dlc have any single player level stuff in it? I just want to mess around and be dart vader, fly an xwing and whatnot, don't care about playing online.

Waiting for the price to drop to where that's worth it. Not sure if $25 is it. But do I care about the dlc's?

this should probably go in the blizzard containment forum but what are you having trouble with. console fps / tbs games have very fixable problems

Its pretty disappointing that Battlefront apparently never got better, if they just slapped new graphics on the original X-Box game it would've been a day-one purchase for me.

Digital Foundry called TMNT the sequel to Korra. Platinum's worst game. The boss battles are more akin to MMO combat. :smith:
That's disappointing, but I lost interest in the Transformers game halfway through too. I don't think Platinum made the right decision in having two distinct tiers of games, one glorious and one mediocre to bad. They should just focus on making more glorious games.
