These days, the pound is the cheapest currency lol

Wow, I literally just bought this from Amazon for £23 - now cancelled :smiley:. Thanks

Brilliant game and a brilliant price! Cop it if you dont already have it!

Does progress sync across formats? I'd like a PC copy to go with my new gaming PC, but I've been playing on Xbox.

Any currencies I can take advantage of :stuck_out_tongue:

You can link your console account and your Battlenet account, but the only things that are shared between the linked accounts are the Nexus items, ie the Officer D.Va and Oni Genji skins, and the sprays and icons that came with them.

Wow, I literally just bought this from Amazon for £23 - now cancelled :smiley:. Thanks

Can anyone clarify differences between standard, origins and GOTY editions. Which should be bought?

No excuse not to jump in now! Getting this when i get home!

Good price id grab it at this now if your not 100% as it is never on offer.

Thanks, purchased

Is it safe to assume this price is valid until after the free weekend?

I did exactly the same thing this morning lol

Whats this like compared to the battlefield series of games bit bored of bf1 so up for giving this a try.

Get back to me tomorrow then lol.

Was also tempted by the Amazon deal earlier!

If the free weekend is on then I can actually double check how well this runs on my laptop before paying too...

Heh, I thought this would happen. Great price - bought!

Great price, great game.

Cheapskates... if £16.99 is too much then try Paladins :sunglasses:

These days, the pound is the cheapest currency lol

does this gameshare on xbox one as its
£30.24 with Xbox Live Gold, thought would be cheaper but the origins version is replaced with goty but still seams good price but i wont get the diablo 3 wings for my pc account which i have diablo on i dont think...

only asking about gameshare in case i have to login to battle.net etc

I cant seem to access any of the system requirements for this game at work do to them being blocked. I have an i5-2500. 16gb ram and a geforce 760. Is it worth buying with this spec?

Thank you kindly.

Cancelled my amazon order too and ordered this one :smile: happy gaming !

own 2 copies on PC and been thinking about getting it on console to play in bed :smile:

Ive played this on ps4 , reached a fairly high level , BUT using a controller , Is a big disadvantage to use a controller on the PC version ???????????? tempted , so I can play in 4k

Unhelpful

I want to chill with a controller and if you use a controller on pc you'll get trashed. There isn't even aim assist to help like you get on console.

Will there be additional cost i will have to pay to get the best experience out of the game? Ie addons like map pack

Is this game too competitive to get in to on PC at the moment? Use to play this game on PS4 when it came out, but just in general faded away from console, have a very decent PC now and tend to game on PC a lot more with MP games.. just afraid that I am going to get shattered on this game due to how competitive people actually are on this game now..

I disable aim assist on the PS4 version. Feels like cheating. My aim is decent even when playing the PC version because I use analogue stick extenders on the pad for more precision. I know mouse and keyboard is superior overall but I just prefer a pad for comfort reasons.

wasn't there a free weekend coming up ? £17 seems like a no brainer as it's rarely below £25 but not sure how well it'll play on my pc

yup, gonna give it a wee go first but i'd hope it's still on sale for a week

Just a great price. I double dipped on this on Xbone and PC at full price and never regretted it. Such a good game.

Yeah a few skins aren't worth the bother. There are loads of other skins from other events you can't get at all anyway as they were only exclusive at the time.

so annoyed I can't transfer over my skins from PS4 to PC. I started playing this last year August, so I've built up a lot before making this move to PC..

So is the price on during the free weekend.. want to try first..

thanks op brought

how mean, no-one has complained about me before :disappointed:

whats the game of the year edition, and is the standard edition the origins edition

Really want to try it first, anyone have any ideas how long it's on for?

Just bought it :smile: thanks! heat added

No it doesn't I was in the same position having played year one on console but there is no way to transfer unlocked content

Top game highly recommended :smiley:

I don't rate this game at all; maybe I've had bad playing experiences of it but the lows far outweigh the highs.
It's a team game; but because people are constantly chasing their own personal stats, most games will result in people leaving the losing side well before the map/game is over. Makes victories feel hollow; and if it happens to be your team they leave, comebacks nearly impossible.

Then there are ranked games, where your personal rank will be affected by the random people you get matched with. You really don't want people on your team to leave just because they think the team is going to lose. When they do, it's your rank that gets trashed.

Then OFC.. you still have the problem of multiple people picking the same class on the team because they always play a sniper, etc. Wrecking team balance. Finally there were a limited number of maps, not sure now, haven't played it for many months, don't even have it installed anymore.

It's an average team based shooter with a lot of Blizzard polish on top; upon saying that; a lot of people love it. I understand why, when you do get that comeback game, beating all odds, the feeling is amazing. It can also be a lot of fun to play when players stick around.

£17 thou' I guess it's worth getting if your curious :smiley:

So just to confirm, if I buy this now, I can install it on my xbox one? I don't have a pc capable of playing it yet.

You don't have to make a separate Blizzard account, I have both PC and XB1 on my same account but sadly nothing goes across from one to the other, not even cosmetic items such as skins.

why does paypal payment not work?

For some reason there is next to no solid information on the internet. I found one thread with only one post where a guy said he bought it for the pc version, and when he logged into his xbox one he said he had the option to install it on his xbox.

What a price! Well worth it, awesome team game.

It's for PC only, the guy posted that on the 9th September which a quick search seems to suggest that was a free weekend.

How, inflation is up and the cost of everything is also up as a result, we get less for it abroad too now... "lol".

wow waited till I got a new comp to be able to play this and thankfully been too busy to play... almost paid full wack for this a couple weeks ago! HEAT!!!!!!!!

Well if things cost more abroad, does that mean the pound has appreciated or depreciated?

They are definitely separate versions. Buying one won't get you the other.

The min specs are pretty low. A processor and graphics card from 2010 it might be worth trying the free weekend to see how it runs.

Just bought it and tried 1 game...I'm useless. Even the beta version of Quake I killed a few. All they do is keep jumping on this game not sure it's my game

Will see how it runs with my G4560 & RX480 build with the free trial this weekend then buy if my set up is capable.

still waiting for this darn free trial to unlock so i can start downloading...

honestly after a couple of hours playing i fail to see what the fuss is about - it's a very good arena shooter with a lot of character but both lives and matches are over quickly and often with little you can do about either, and there seems to be no progression but leaderboards. granted i'm new and stuff like team comps and counterpicks/switches are more advanced but i'll stick with HOTS. glad i waited for free weekend.

anyone want some barbecue ??!

Downloaded the trial on Xbone and pc and graphics are miles ahead on pc at 1080p I was shocked how much better it looks tbh so i just need to get used to the keyboard mouse controls now....it's been a while :smiley:

Though this seems like a good deal I didn't buy it in the end. I prefer some additional progression in a game besides from just "getting better".

Literally zero progression effort from game development side so basically all they've done is make a pretty slick rock, paper, scissors game. For me, this is not enough to call it a great game for nowadays standard (imo).

Then again, CS:Go seems to be popular still and that's zero progression with less dynamics so I guess I can't complain too much.

I'll stick to Siege...
