    Yeah, I'll be waiting for a sale or price drop later for OW as well. It's a great game, had a lot of fun with the beta, but multiplayer only games should not be $60 IMO. I would say its worth it buying on PC, since you can get a vanilla version for only $40, but not at all on console.

    Angry Joe actually touches up on his feelings about this pretty well and what some ppl might think about it currently. However he does give the game allot of praise but its still a game with a few faults mainly being the shallow content experience. Again i feel safe in waiting for this game to develop more before i decide to pick it up. The loot boxes are a bit disgusting though even though they are just vanity items.

    Blizzard will probably release new maps (and hope they don't charge for them). They do it for Heroes of the Storm although they do take a while to make. The loot boxes, I don't mind but they should give skins the microtransaction treatment so players are allowed to buy the skins they want. That being said, I am a pretty cheap bastard and want the skins for free so I'd rather grind them out and get loot boxes (we're all collectors here so the blind box thing isn't new to us). I wish we could grind to get other skins in HotS but that is not the case. I can't believe he's saying $40 is still too much to pay for this game. At $40, that is like buying a game 10 years ago...with less content. It is totally worth it for $40. At $60, it is only worth it if you play other Blizzard titles...and the console players, all I can say is, play on a PC ;) (at least on a PC you don't get those annoying kids on their mics yelling at their mom for a juice box).

    Yes, no $40 version for consoles sucks and Blizzard probably would have sold a ton more units if they had hit that price point.

    This is flawed logic, and I see it all the time on the Internet when people who don't understand development complain needlessly. Blizzard's art department made promotional videos. That's it. If those individuals did not spend tones of company time/money making those videos, that does not mean that there would somehow magically be more features in the game. It doesn't work like that.

    lol

    Anyway, I am personally waiting for a sale to pick up Overwatch as well. There will undoubtedly be more content in the coming months, and I can wait to play it since Battleborn is still holding my attention.

    Even though iv heard your argument a billion times as well from various ppl i still stick with my guns on the expectations of the core game though.

    Its just to shallow to justify the price. Im going to wait till the price drops and it matures more. Im going to give it at least a year or 2 before buying. But i do respect the ppl that purchased it and have invested in the long haul on the product.

    For instance i purchased Dayz and it still in alpha stage. Iv purchased it fully realizing that im investing in a product for the long haul for good or bad. Different situation but still same dedicated principle at the core. In fact they JUST got around to putting the new engine in and i was playing some test servers last night. Its coming along pretty good.

    I think he's a little off on examples A and B but it is just pretty funny anyway.

    ^^^ Indeed that was a fun video to watch. I do remember hearing about that well known game journalist from Polygon pretty much playing like hes completely smashed. It was funny watching him trying to play seriously on Doom haha.

    Check out the new Zelda game. It looks like it will have some nice Windwaker graphics and im fine with that since Windwaker was a super solid game.

    At the moment I can't get enough of Goat Simulator... it's totally stupid and mindless. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much... lol!

    Yeah, I have the medieval/fantasy/zombie versions too, and they're just as insane! Apparently there is a space version now too?

    With the release of all the new trailers from E3, are there any games people are looking forward to. Titanfall2 on the xbox will be getting a single player campaign which I'll be playing for sure!

    Well lets see the new Zelda game for NX, State Of Decay 2, Gears Of War 4, Skyrim: Remastered with full mod support for consoles, the rest of the Fallout 4 DLC, Titan Fall 2 which looks promising, Days Gone By, and a couple of others i cant think of off the top of my head.

    Im actually interested in COD: Infinite Warfare despite ppls negative opinions. The space combat actually looks pretty cool.

    None software game items im looking forward to are the Nintendo NX and Xbox One Scorpio which is supposed to be a HUGE upgrade in graphics and hardware in general for much smoother gameplay performances. And im looking forward to the Bayonetta and Cloud Amiibo figures.

    Bought Stardew Valley and it took me a bit of work to get it running on mac (Thanks google). Love it, it really takes me back to that year I spent playing Harvest Moon on the PSX. Very recommended if you enjoy that type of rpg.

    as for consoles, I will buy one once I finish this Masters degree thingy. Prolly will jump on the ps4, since it has MGS and FFXV

    We don't own any consoles but recs for kids? They won't be using it for internet/talking/gaming online etc I like the idea of a wii u but kid A likes Madden and I just saw that EA doesn't make Madden on Wii past Madden13.

    Well since Nintendo likes to alienate 3rd party developers you can bet allot of good products will not end up on Nintendo except for mainly Nintendo exclusives. Hopefully the NX will change that but I really feel Nintendo is going to exclude AAA game developers again with there new system.

    Idk i really have an issue with Nintendo trying to be to innovative and gimmicky with there game systems.

    Good points all around. Keep in mind it's for humans under 11. Completely active but occasionally like to be numb. As an adult? Hands down Xbox/playstation.

    But keep in mind old NES and SNES did not alienate age category like they do now. There was something for everyone. I just wish we would get the variety like we did that Gamecube had. Remember that system? It had GOOD quality games for both kids and adults alike. I mean that's what i would like to see is pretty much a "well rounded" Nintendo system that will keep everyone happy no matter what the taste may be.

    But i do understand what your doing. Its a shame though that Nintendo has to be branded as the kid friendly system is what i mean.

    Gone a little crazy on Street Fighter V, even went as far to get a TES+ Fightstick so ready to get my ass kicked online.

    A couple of noteworthy non-AAA games shown at E3 that flew a little under the radar (with links to footage):
    Abzu
    Battle Chasers: Nightwar (SERIOUSLY! WATCH THIS!)

    Bahaha, git gud! :)

    As a lifelong Street Fighter enthusiast, I played SFV for about a week then dropped it. I, like many others, was really bummed at the utter lack of compelling 1P content. Personally speaking, I don't like jumping into any competitive games (especially something like a 1v1 fighter) unless I am confident in knowing that I am passably good at it. I still follow the SFV DLC news, tournament results, and all that, but I am way more excited for KoF XIV -- I mean, look at these insane character designs!

    Does that mean your picking SFV back up in a couple of days? Finally getting that story mode + a couple new characters stages costumes etc.
    I mucked around with KOF in the arcade years back but I never had anyone to play it with so I never got into it. A big factor for me with Street Fighter is the ability to have a few rounds with friends that come over, even if they haven't played for years they can still throw a fireball.
