What's the better system?
Buying a game with things you don't have to pay for or any battlepass system? hide the cosmetics behind beating the pve on the hardest difficulty
Zoomers are fricking ruined. Everything has to have a Battlepass or it's "no fun" "no objective". What ever happened to having fun in a game.
Even fricking CS:GO Zombie servers are implementing Battle pass systems as the playerbase has requested it so much. Literally what the frick... You know that game where you hide in a corner for 5 minutes deffending from zombies? Yeah that game has a battlepass now.
haha what are you like 60 or something 😀 whats there to do in games if there's no incentive to play thru a season pass. like what are you doing in games if not unlocking the season pass. we're done playing with sticks and stones grandpa 😀

I play video games for fun, homosexual.
i cant believe it i am gonna say it but league of legend.
>all free
>you can unlock heroes with ingame currency or real money
>skin are the only thing you have no option but pay for
now your company just need to shit more and more skins and heroes every month to get revenue.dont forget that new heroes have to be op to then nerf them to the ground in the next 5 months and you are gold
>What's the better system
You buy the game once and that is it. No games as a service model or matchmaking system. If you want to play with others you hop on a privately hosted server and that's the end of it.
If there must be cosmetics, tie them to achievements/overall rank like halo 3 armor unlocks.
So no post launch content at all? I mean you cant expect them to work for free.
>for free
They're still selling the game aren't they? Terraria can do it, Stardew Valley can do it, I see no reason why billion dollar corporations couldn't
>this is the brain of an indie tard
>this is the brain of a zoomer corporate bootlicker
You just listed off two peak zoomer core games and you're really going around calling people zoomer.
Not even close, that's Fortnite, Undertale, and FNAF
This is gonna shock you but the games industry did perfectly fine up until around 2010 without this shit. They still made money hand over fist. You're just a dipshit who won't stand up for yourself.
They didnt, they patched the game to work up to next piece of paid content. And when thats out they drop the game and move to the next game. Still better than milking a game for decade though.
Dumb zoomer. Pre-2010 there was little to no post launch content, and going further back patches were often were sold to you as expansion packs. Never mind that it costs a lot more to build a game nowadays. Back then we had dozens of companies on almost equal footing with EA or Blizzard, the difference was not in production value so much as in how many IPs they churned out. Nowadays there's maybe 5-7 big companies that still manage to consistently release something with AAA production values. Not that things are better today, it's actually exactly the same except instead of expansion packs and yearly sequels you pay for passes, and just like 10 years ago the companies want to israelite you out of as much money as possible.
>why yes i play every game with the default skins how can you tell?
I blame the cancer Mercy event. They disguised the first paid skin as a charity reward. Once they introduced the concept, they started pushing OWL with its paid skins and emotes.
>they started pushing OWL with its paid skins
Arent those just default outfit recolors though?
>get tons of players because f2p
>battle pass "forces" these players to play every day so they don't miss out on stuff
>playerbase doesn't dwindle because more sunken cost than just "buy once and play"
It's obviously why they made OW2 instead of a big update, they changed it to the ol' zoomer scamming system.
They should've done this right from OW1, but they still had a shred of integrity before.
Holy frick that UI is so insanely SOULLESS. Everything in OW2 seems to be a gigantic step back from OW1.
fricked up
Open up the game to community-made content and the devs can frick off. TF2 thrived off of what the community made. Blizzards older games did too, but they're still bitter that dota blew up and now they refuse to give the community any autonomy withing their games.
>What's the better system?
Don't buy a shit game
the better system is never touching this soulless chink cash-grab game and moving on with your life
Have not followed what happened because I stopped playing ow years ago but it looks like fall guys since epic bought them. You bought the game and had access to everything and could unlock the best costumes with crowns but now you can play the new season but need a season pass to unlock the costumes and the best ones need a new currency and you barrely get any so if you want a cool new costume you need real money
Frick all these people for ruining everything for money
Come home white man
Remember when winning or losing was the point of multiplayer games? Now, it's all skins to show off to other people. What the frick happened?
Devs identified another exploitable aspect of the human psyche, first shooting games at all sold to let people take out their aggression and frustration they couldn't take out in civilized society, now that is just an excuse for a social platform where everyone is women on a coffee meetup bragging about their designer handbags and the status they bring them
Only tards fall for cosmetics. Heroes of the storm die enjoy your cosmetics now on a dead game sure was worth spending money on it lul.
Same will happen with this trash game because blizzard cant make a proper mm system to save they life. Watch good players getting punished again for being good and be matched with absolute shitters and be forced to play the meta char of the week and hard carry them if they want to win. No fun allowed in blizzz games if your good. Memeber when this shit was so bad it Heroes of the storm that top 100 or so where literally ignoring ranked and where playing custom games among themselfs imagine how bad things really are. Same shit comming soon to you via OW2
>Only tards fall for cosmetics
The average gamer spends $80 a year on MTX. But we already knew normalgays are moronic.
>What's the better system?
Pay for a game once and have everything unlocked at once.
There is no excuse to having to unlock anything in a game you paid for. Everything else is a scam, that only complete drones can't see and feel a need to defend.
>gameplay content locked behind grind or cash wall
