srs question
you can compare BB with:
Warframe
Destiny
SMITE
LoL (for pvp)
WoW (campaing co-op is like a dungeon/miniraid)
So i dont get it, ive played both games OW and BB, and they are way different
It's a team shooter you dumb fuck stop playing semantics. The BB PR team have directly compared their game to overwatch on Twitter and the likes

Except it plays totally differently. Overwatch has no leveling system and no "MOBA" style of gameplay.
Overwatch is TF2 and BB is Monday Night Combat in PVP and Borderland in PVE.
Because Overwatch has no real competition for it's genre aside from TF2, and the people that play that aren't really going anywhere. Blizz ' s best marketing idea was to shit on anything remotely similar to OW because the platform for the game is basically "Casual Magnet with Competitive Scene". BB was prime for that because tons of people hate gearbox/Anthony Burch anyway and it was an easy target.
It kinda worked since BB looks casual as fuck, but actually has a deeper (I use that term very lightly) meta game since objective control is forced and you can't just run around killing other players. So the average shitter will pick look at BB, see it's more difficult than OW, and since they're told OW is a comparison, will just buy OW instead.

Only after OW did the same, and everyone at gearbox is a meme spouting fuck, so of course the retaliated.

>tons of people hate gearbox/Anthony Burch anyway and it was an easy target.
Just a reminder that /v/ makes up 0.01% of all gamers.
>>339141636
>team shooter
with your logic you can compare LoL/Dota with Starcraft
>>339142418
but none of those games are shooters
>>339142239
/v/ isn't the only one who shits on him. I've seen reddit and twitter screen caps that do the same. Not being Anthony Burch is a meme outside of /v/.
All I can say is that I got it for just 22e and Im loving it so far. OW is probably just as fun, I haven't tried it, but this one is great
>>339141963
You mean after a fired probably intern got passive aggressive.
>>339141636
Don't forget how they tried to back pedal afterwards
BB made the comparison themselves and got put down for it.
>>339142675
JACK NOOOO
>>339141480
Because of that Facebook/Twitter post where BB stated they were competing with Overwatch. Does anybody here have it?
>>339141908
BB went after OW first, not the other way around, though.
>>339142925
My order of events is foggy, I could've sworn OW started the shit flinging.
>>339142834
This was after some mild yet positive comment by overwatch iirc.
