(DEAD)overwatch goty PS4 xbox one PC..19.99/15.99 GCU best buy

Awesome, thank you! It's time to pick it up for X1 to play with some friends since I used to play it on PS4.

I wonder if this is a sign that 2 will be announced at E3 next month?!

 
Overwatch is one of those games where they keep it updated with a new map or hero every couple months. There is no point in a part two so I don’t see that happening anytime soon if ever. It’s a great game. And it’s in the least skillful season it’s had since launch right now so it’s easy to get into and enjoy almost any hero. I’d recommend at this price.

This has easily replaced one of the games in my Top 10 of All Time list. I've played for countless - hundreds (1,000?) - of

hours since its beta and never looked back.

I play it on PC and while I like my consoles, I'd never play this game on console for the same reasons I wouldn't play Starcraft or Counter-strike on consoles.

Considering all this, is it strange that I'm buying a console copy of this, probably never to be opened or played? This CAG site makes me question my sanity sometimes (which probably means I shouldnt be asking any of you fellow CAGers for life advice)

Would recommend for this price.  The game is pretty decent these days.  It's a fun (imo, casual) shooter, as long as you aren't the kind of person that will get incredibly salty when your team comp is bad.  I would not recommend if you're looking for something predominantly based on player skill, this game is so much more about counter picks and teamwork, unless the skill gap is absolutely massive.

If you already own, and enjoy, you can buy it with GCU, then trade it in for psn or xbx credit at GS and basically get the 10 loot boxes for about 3$.  Not a huge deal, but we are cheapasses

It's not cheapassness. It's something far deeper.

 
For $15 (GCU and pickup), guess I'll finally give this game a shot. Thanks op!

Does this game feature single-player mode in any form? I know it's multiplayer focused, just wondering if it will still be playable years from now.

Training mode with bots. I'll probably be doing that a lot since I'm not as competitive pvp as I used to be.

Cool, thanks! I might just have to finally bite at this price. I googled it, and it looks like Blizzard might even consider adding a campaign mode in the future. Maybe they could offer it as a patch or something.

Besides the initial purchase, how do they make money then since the added contents are free?

Casual but have your mute button ready because your teammates will rip you if you’re not playing to their “standards.”

if youre like me and youre not interested in comp (especially on console, i highly dont recommend comp), just turn off chat volume and go pubbing whenever you feel the itch.

thats what i bought my copy for.

 
got an email from PSN ..saying overwatch is free to play this weekend so maybe some reason why sales/ free to play this week/weekend? maybe they are announcing something soon?

I think this is the 5th or 6th time it’s had a free to play weekend since launch.

And blizzard discounts Overwatch quite often but usually for $40 on their client and around events especially right now since this is Overwatch biggest yearly event by far.

The more hardcore player base in terms of playtime does buy loot boxes and what not IF they want every cosmetic. Plus their game sales are still there and a surprising amount of people have smurf accounts which cost money each account on PC at least. They also started the first esports league that is nearly equivalent to that of the NBA/NFL. And according to them it’s doing better than expected. Players and coaches are salaried 60k-150k each to play in that league.

Nah, this is just the two year anniversary, so they're doing a lot to try to pump some new blood into the playerbase with free weekend/sa;es. They do free weekends kind of a lot.

 
Ended up grabbing a PC copy. $16 for this is pretty hard to pass up. It's always goofy when a physical PC copy of a game is cheaper than you can find a digital one. 

 
Hey Team.. Er Crew.... Peeples... This is also 19.99 on Amazon. I believe this is another price drop insisted on CAG as a best buy sale.
 
Easily my most played game of the generation, not even a competition. It turned into my Skype crew’s multi-weekly game. Each of us have definitely invested into the loot box purchases. I’ve spent maybe $60-$80 on them. No regrets.

If you’re looking for single player, don’t bother. If you’re thinking the game will die off, it has long legs with Overwatch League still going strong and constant additions. If you’re worried the game won’t be playable in the future regardless, well it’s like $16 and you’re bound to get a lot of hours into it if you find your hero and a cool group of friends so don’t fret.

I ended up grabbing a copy for PS4 even though I mostly play on Xbox. This deal is too good.
 
Just used a $5 cert to get this for almost $12! I had a pickup order ready at Gamestop but I cancelled it once I saw BB had it. GCU makes it a no brainer

oh... Ok. Thanks. I will grab one. I remeber when we were all excited about the psvr games "on sale" at best buy and people were rushing to get them and it turned out to be permanent price drop by manufacturer.
