The origins edition offers a few character skins for overwatch, wings for diablo and items for other blizzard games. Nothing that would make you pay extra for really, but the normal version either isn't sold or is the same price so it's best to get this one, heat.

Exactly. I went for the origins version because it was the same price but otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. I don't even own any other blizzard games. This is their first game that has interested me.

Great find, this one really is the cheapest. G2A seemed cheaper, but the 20% tax kills it.

Are you a CoD/BF player by any chance?
Not trying to be sarcastic but all the enthusiastic CoD players that I know tend to hate less realistic shooters like this, Destiny and Halo.

This is probably obvious but I'll ask anyway. Would I get slaughtered if I used a Xbox One controller?
KayinAmoh to metalnigel
8 May 16#18
Against any serious K&M user, yes. The speed they can turn is way, way faster.
That said, a fair number of PC players will likely be using a controller too. It's just that you'l inherently be at a disadvantage against anyone who can use a keyboard and mouse. Blizzard have actually tweaked the console versions a little to compensate - turrets don't kill quite as quickly, so that players have more time to react.
Spark to metalnigel
8 May 16#19
Depends on the character you choose honestly. If you're clever about it and actually skilled then no but I wouldn't fancy your chances playing with something like Tracer or another one that needs super fast response times.
Saying that there are some BF4 top level players on PC who use controllers. It all just comes down to your skill level.
I've mostly been playing the PC beta but I went back on the ps4 version last night and the PC version has really improved my skill level. I managed a 17 kill streak on the ps4 but there's no way I'd get that on the PC.

It's unlikely unless Blizzard are delaying cheap keys for other markets (e.g. South America, India, Russia, China).
Starcraft and Diablo held their prices after release.
Prices have been on the rise all week, hopefully Gamesdeal won't repeat the fiasco they had with The Witness.
Nexy
8 May 16#27
Good deal, heat added. I'm really looking forward to Overwatch.
But if we keep buying pre-orders, PC gamers are going to continue suffering from the same bull from the gaming media and the same bull from devs. Something has to change.
I'll get it after release, assuming that it's not broken at launch. One hopes that these guys won't pull an EA on us, but I'm not gambling £30 to find out.

Price has been going up for months. It was about £20 five months ago at cdkeys and it's been steadily rising since then.
People who think this will be £20 within a month of release are delusional.

They seem to be an accepted supplier on here so I thought that it would be OK. There is also buyer protection policy through PayPal I suppose.
After I ordered this I received a call from America to verify that the order was actually be placed by me and any vendor that has done that sort of thing in the past has never caused me any real hassle.

More a MOBA player. I have no problem with the realism, I just don't seem to find the matches particularly engaging. Beautiful, quick but meaningless. I don't see any teamwork at the levels I'm playing. No effort to coordinate player picks, etc. Everything just seems like more of the same.

Fair enough. Personally, I find MOBAs as dull as dishwater but everyone is different I suppose.

I had a bit of a play, so this is only first impressions and I'll give it a chance.
It seems a bit.... generic. The gameplay is very consistent and done well, it's polished and well made, the characters have enough difference about them to be fun but overall... it doesn't really feel like it stands out that much.
Maybe bigger health bars and less binary outcomes so there's a bit more room for tactics and strategic play?
It's otherwise very pretty and "nice" but... I can't say I'm blown away by it.
If it had a more "novel" gameplay mode, something to make it stand out. It's currently a rather "me too" cartoony, character based FPS.
E.g: Stealing somewhat from WoW PVP - there's 3 "flags", holding them gives points, holding more than 1 at a time on a character gives more points, makes the characters weaker over time (and maybe puts some visual aid on the map to their location). It'd be something different at least. I get this is meant as a "moba-fps cross" so characters are intended as hard counters but spammy FPS play is a bit too frantic for that to shine through properly. It needs game modes that slow it down a TINY bit and make it have a touch more depth.
Will play it a bit more tomorrow and see if I can find a suitably baited hook to bite down on. I've not been overly enamored by it though.

There's no aim assist on PC so it's damn tough with a controller. I did ok with solider 17? or whatever his number is but mainly stuck to mercy the healer or the fat guy roadblock? Their aiming reticles are pretty huge.You can forget about using widowmaker, hanzo, or genji on the PC with a controller. Unless you're an absolute demon I cant see how its feasible to play those chars with a controller.

Is this a FP MOBA? it looks like one. Lots of chaos going on and people just constantly cycling through skills. It looks no fun.

No, think more along the lines of TF2 with more defined character roles. The diversity of a small MOBA with the gameplay of a decent FPS. I'm in.
Nexy
9 May 16#52
It's extremely polished. It's Blizzard looking at Team Fortress 2 and it's lessons learned, and thinking "We can make that PERFECT!"
It purrs like a kitten on an old quad-core AMD and a GTX 960. It's gorgeous.
Controller players, as someone else said, can use a character whose weapon doesn't need accuracy. Symetra might be a good choice too if you like support. That's a decent trick against zippy players like Tracer too.
The open beta is free to everyone until tomorrow. (Including console players.) I'm loving it, but I'll get it at launch.

I have to say the optimisation on this game is amazing. Only the Xbox one port has any technical issues of the three apparently and even those are pretty minor.
I guess it did have to be pretty well optimised since a huge part of Blizzard's user base are in China but even so, they did a brilliant job.

played the beta last night, beautiful, fluid, typical flawless Blizzard. However, I'm mainly a single player gamer so doesn't float my boat.... this is for the multiplayer crowd only. despite its beauty, it seemed a bit generic, but that might because you need to be in proper teams etc to get into its depth. anyway, it's Doom for me :smiley: (for the SP).

Just don't get Origins edition unless you really want it I suppose.
I didn't need Origins edition at all, I was just getting it for the sake of it really.
GamesDeal processed my refund request within roughly 20 minutes which you really can't fault. I've noticed that it's a bit cheaper on some of the foreign Blizzard stores like £27 (US) or £25 (KR). I wonder if it's possible to buy it from one of those. AFAIK only the Chinese versions are region locked.

Price is £27.31 + a 4% payment fee so the total is £28.48.
This seems to be the best price around at the moment by quite a bit.
