not gonna pay 35 pounds for it... sorry blizzard, but that's not worth it.

I might just be too old for competitive gaming. feels like I lost all motivation to spend time on a game

DOTA2 is supposed to be a F2P game on release, so Steam charging $20 for 'early beta access' as they put it, is actually incredibly sneaky, especially since quite literally hundreds of beta keys are given out everyday if you just know where to look.

Bought it back in october or something when the preorders became available. I don't believe in it all that much though because of the current state of the game like hellbats, void rays, Zerg anti air problems late game and mid game protoss timing pushes being hugely powerful because of recall. It just doesn't look like its going to be fun until Zerg gets buffed or things get changed.

It's pretty expensive yeah but the amount of patches you get is amazing. No other game gets patched this often and that carefully to remain balanced
So yeah I already preorderd at amazon.

This is the worst comment in the entire thread. No blizzard doesn't take their games seriously, they just throw it all together willy nilly and hope for the best.... how moronic.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

Remain balanced lol. Implying it's balanced to begin with. WoL started completely broken, and 3 years later it has somehow managed to get even more imbalanced after all the constant patching.

The additions to the game appear to be too few to make it interesting again. One or two units per race just doesn't do it for me.

It's not so much for the game itself, it's pretty much 20 dollars for the items + the game is included "free" with it.
So it is still sneaky, but it's not like it's 20 dollars for the game itself.

Seconded, not going to spend another penny on Blizzard after these 2 disappointments.

Been a fan of Blizzard games (Played Broodwar, Warcraft 3, and some WoW). I can say that Vanilla WoW is the last decent Blizzard product.. Rest of their products ever since are either dumbed down or lacking character.

Just gonna borrow HOTS from my friend for the campaign I guess

Only reason I would end up buying it is to play the campaign.


Are MOBA games really that fun?

Likely going to wait for a sale, but I'll get it eventually. I'm too busy with other junk at the moment to play this anyway.

I have to say I'm actually quite surprised that there are so many people saying they don't feel as though the price is worth it.

I'm from Australia, bought the game when the release date was announced. Collector's Edition is costing me $80. So thats probably about $85 US I guess. I actually thought for a Collector's Edition of a game I was getting an alright deal. There may be some bias in that as I'm a pretty die hard fan of the franchise and watch entirely too much Esports each day, but I'm not convinced you could sell a product of this quality any less.

Its not just the game itself (which imo is worth the price absolutely), its everything that goes with it. The customer support which I've found to be really good. The new battle.net. Single player campaign as big as Frozen Throne, cinematics throughout, the voice acting quality, the orchestral scores. I'm a filmmaker and I'm not sure if that gives me a little more insight into some of these costs, but its extraordinary and what separates these games from the lower tier.

TLDR: Bought it day one, Collector's Edition, for $80 Australian and would be willing to pay a lot more.
