So Why exactly is OW2 $60?

You are attracting people by outright stating false facts, indicating that OW2 will cost 60$. All you did is spilling lies, essentially clickbaiting. Great job, Mr. Marketing Expert.

Regarding the topic, my estimate is that the game will cost 60$ for new customers (those without OW) and less than that for those that already own OW. Looking at it that way, I’d say the price definitely is fair. It depends how big the PvE aspect will end up of course. If it’s as much content as full blown AAA PvE games (which I doubt), let it be more pricey.

let me in on these leaks you’ve been seeing, i want more information on this game, too

this is blizzard we’re talking about

their games have been consistently been strong, and hold up for years, in some cases, decades

they’ve already said OW2 will have some form of replayability seen in Diablo, what ever that exactly means

there’s literally no history to suggest otherwise yet

yes, it can flop
but again, the history literally isn’t there to support it

OW2 will be fine, and likely worth a 60$ price tag, if that’s even true, since, again, that’s also your poor speculation, using absolutely nothing to prove it

That’s why I said possibility, and knowing how companies operate currently, it will probably be $60 dollars.

that helped me a stupid amount, thank you!

Also cool, Toronto.
Also cool, co-op!

People took it that way? I had it in the form of a question, guess they must of misinterpreted it. Then again, people tend to not understand the message I give.

I have yet to see a gaming company do something like that in a while: give a discount to those who already bought the game. If that does happen then that would be one for the history books.

There’s no confirmed price yet. The price on the leaked pre-order stuff can easily be placeholder as that’s the standard price of most console games.

Again, as I said, your question indicates that the price is confirmed to be 60$. Just because you put a questionmark at the end, you can’t just say whatever you please and not act confused when people “misinterpret it”.

Think of it as being similiar to the standard edition and legendary edition of OW.
The legendary edition costs more because it adds content in form of skins. If you already own the standard edition, you will pay much less for an upgrade to the legendary edition than someone who doesn’t own any edition yet.

Major engine overhaul and future proofing the game and the people who buy OW2 subsidize the non buyers.

I still think it’s a great deal
Better than a new CoD every year with new ways to monetize it

Title is misinforming. I feel baited.

The gameplay shown of the story campaign is practically what we have in the Archives missions (Uprising, Retribution, Stormrising) but with more polish and different bosses/archetypes.

I’m just hoping they allow you to have the talent system in the story mode in some way, maybe after you beat it or whatever. Like a super hard mode, perhaps.

Because Blitztivision needs money.

so, out of the 2 big game modes they’re going to have that we know about, we saw story mode, one section of it, during a demo, which, in plenty of games, has linear progression because there’s only so much you can do with story

and it’s also different than what we’ve seen with archives because it’s… different?

and that means the other game mode that they said would be replayable, is not going to be good?

because you’ve seen early footage of the one line, on the one story mode?

high doubt

doesn’t mean it’ll be perfect, doesn’t mean it can’t fail, but seriously, at least have better arguments than relying on “what i saw in early footage of a subsection of content means the entirety of the release package will be bad”

what do you mean?
the hero talents should be in the story mode

during the demo, they definitely chose their characters, and saw the talent screen after

some might have been locked out or whatever, can’t fully remember, but obviously it was a demo, so, it’d be acceptable either way, but it certainly looks like talents will be in all pve modes

didn’t realize jeff said anything about this, sorry, missed it

Too early to tell honestly. And we don’t know how big the PvE will be, it could have mmo-type capital zones and raid bosses for all we know

But PvP I’m not sure. Because it’s a free upgrade idk how much effort they’ll put into the new heroes/maps :sweat:

They said that was only for the demo.

The pve looks like a run and shoot stuff thing.

The only thing that is behind paywall is the Story Mode by the way, developers said that.

You act as if this is a small thing.

They were enabled for the Rio mission to show them off at Blizzcon - Jeff said that the talents are planned to be for Hero Missions only, but he’s open to adding them to story Missions.
