fun game but it feels like a scam to pay 40 USD (like 60 AUD) for what is essentially just tf2 (which is and has always been free)

basically im just a poor kent and if i had money id buy it but i dont

It's weird to think that portal, hl2:e2 and team fortress 2 all came out in a bundle for 30 quid, like, that's just insane to me in retrospect.

overwatch is pretty much the death knell for the last bastion of true gamers. overwatch is the beginning of the new normal in gaming and signifies the medium's full transition into a democratized entertainment product at the sake of innovating truly powerful and unique storytelling and gameplay experiences

basically it is the final step in the full casualization of gaming

Blizzard still knows how to make fun games, which of course is important. However they've lost that knack for story telling and narrative polish. SC2 and Diablo 3 come to mind.

No, they only know how to make eye candy now. Engaging and meaningful gameplay has been gone for a while.

it's good to me that there might be an an arena fps "casual" people like to play. they will like them and this will open the market for a broader swathe of entries in the genre.
