I can't be the only one who likes Battleborn over Overwatch.
Why was this game dead on arrival?
because nobody gives a shit and also overwatch came out
>>336560363
Just cuz /v/ ain't talking about it means its DOA people are playing.
On console :^)
>>336560363
Me too. Got tired of Overwatch months ago.
I hate Battleborn's artstyle but everything else is way better than overwatch.
Battleborn is what Overwatch should have been.
I just hope this Blizzard meme doesn't kill the better game.
>>336561682
Maybe when the Overwatch beta ends people will take Battleborn for their FPS fix and then stick to it?
That's my only hope.
Maybe this super monday night combat, style of game just doesn't appeal to a lot of people?
This feels like a more polished version of that, yet so few people playing.
Blizz have done their best to crush it and it is working, yeah it sucks that it will be dead soon but fuckkkk both games should be f2p
>>336563026
Fuck off poorfag
>>336563026
>should be f2p
poorfag please leave
>>336563026
More like Gearbox forgot to tell anyone that they where making a game.
I have been hearing about Overwatch for over a year, only heard of Battleborn by chance a month ago.
It's not like it's even the same style of game.
>>336560363
it's shit in almost every way.
it should've just been an smnc clone.
>>336560363
because nobody cares about gearbox unless it's borderlands
also
>$60 moba
>mfw mnc like games are my favorite kind of multiplayer games
>mfw everytime somebody try making something similar it inevitably dies

>he actually bought Stillborn
Caldarius is too much fun
Alright /v/
>waifu
>main
>best design
>fuck that character.
>>336560363
>Most character designs are fucking atrocious
>Shitty 2d animation and rap "music" as it's launch trailer when they did a really fucking good job with 3d animation already.
>Releasing at the same time as overwatch
>Not having enough Beta time so people could be more interested in the game
>Base version 20 dollars more expensive than overwatch
I prefer this game than overwatch but gearbox fucked up really bad
>>336560363
Well basically because ppl who like the genre is already in TF2, the normies, shillers and fanboys are waiting for Overwatch...
Even when its shit, theyll already pay and play it.
>>336560363
>Gearbox
That's why
>>336568230
But this is nothing like TF2 or overwatch.
>>336567510
Phoebe
Caldarius
El Dragon
Marquis or Miko, both are pretty annoying if a good player is behind them.
>>336567510
>>fuck that character
Miko.
Makes every game 100 times worse.
>>336568380
>pheobe
My nigga.
>>336568565
shame there isn't more Battleporn
>>336568513
I love playing miko, start with 0 shard activation boots, fly around healing all the wounds, later on turn your spore bomb into a stun, get out of jail free card.
>>336568719
Its what happens when a game ain't realeased in Japan.
I just don't understand why my battleborn and paladin waifus must not be in overwatch.
they should have just made overwatch with all girls.
Battleborn isfun.
>>336571889
>fun
>>336571889
it is, sure wish I could actually find games for it!
>>336575485
Yeah i was having problems looking for matches last night.
>>336567097
He is, at yet I also fucking hate him.
Most anti-melee character around.
He has one of the best melee escapes in the game as a fucking passive. Once he takes the lateral distance upgrade for his double jump, nobody can stop him from zipping back behind his buddies, and if he's feeling really panicked, the flashbang gives him all the time he needs to figure out how best to escape.
And if that's STILL not enough, his ultimate is one of the best screen clears around.
Not so hard to deal with as other ranged characters, but if you're any kind of melee character you're best off ignoring him. I didn't even mention that you can build him for a bit of decent melee damage as well, and he also has an even better escape than his double jump as a skill that can ALSO be upgraded to be even more ridiculous.
This weekend is the only hope. Peaking at 12k on release won't last long.
>>336578409
>lateral distance upgrade for his double jump
>not lifesteal
nigga do you even?
Melee Caldarius is the best, everyone focuses on his TMP but forgets about his melee. It's beautiful.
>>336560363
You're only as good as your last game.
The last game Gearbox brought out was Alien: Colonial Marine.
>>336581676
>The last game Gearbox brought out was Alien: Colonial Marine.
Actually the last game Gearbox made is Battleborn.
>>336560363
Seems pretty active on console.
/v/ does not equal a games success or failure.
>mfw whiskey foxtrot
I almost fell for the oscar mike meme but once you get some of his mutations unlocked he blows mike out of the fucking water. Health on kill and 3 aoe burn nades compared to mikes one is ridiculous and I'm only level 5.
Also that scrap cannon is god tier for pushing melee characters away and juggling weak people into walls so they can't run. He is just so god damn versatile.
60 Euro game with f2p features.
Also "Moba" type of games does not work well when in FPS.
>>336582442
Pretty active on PC too, been finding games all day.
>>336575485
This seems to be an issue on PC maybe people are just waiting for the beta for overwatch to end. But I dunno I'm playing on ps4 with no issues.
>>336580367
Lifesteal isn't on the same rung as the lateral distance upgrade. You get a choice between that and a vertical upgrade, which is so minute a change that there's no point in taking it.
Melee Caldarius can't stand up to dedicated melee characters (which is what I was talking about), it's a good option if you want to be a support chaser though, since you can pursue, close in and melee, then use gravitonic to escape when the rest of the team closes in.
>>336582943
>with f2p features
What features are those?
>>336583674
I think he means progression and minimal story.
>>336583674
He might be thinking unlocking characters is a f2p thing. But that's wrong.
>>336560363
>Borderlands: The MOBA
Because it's shit.
>>336583590
>Lifesteal isn't on the same rung as the lateral distance upgrade.
Nigga you what?
Also Melee Caldarius can too stand up to dedicated melee characters. By "Melee Caldarius" I mean helixing all the melee upgrades so when people are in your face you fuck em up.
>>336560363
it competed with a game with infinitely better marketing, overwatch
also I took one look at the BB ui and threw up
Holy shit.
I feel bad for anyone who bought this game.
Going to die faster than Evolve.
>>336584110
How do deal with galilea and her stun or pheobe with her slows and silence?
>>336584228
>steam
Most players got it off of CDkeys
Also consoles exist.
>12k peak players
>7.5k currently playing on Steam
it's dead jim
>>336560363
>Honestly, it's just an ugly ass art style. It looks fucking horrific to look at.
To some extent, Overwatch sort of has too much contrast in color and design with their characters as well.
Team Fortress 2 did it so fucking perfectly that I'm still mad about those goddamned hats.
>>336584441
>most players got it off of CDkeys
Oh, that's different then. How many got it?
And how many are on the console versions? I don't know how many moba players are on consoles, so I can't speak for them.
>>336560363
Game runs and looks like shit compared to overwatch. I enjoyed battleborn fine, but its shit optimization and gated content for 60 bucks is pure bullshit.
90 dollars for a stillborn online fps... no thanks randall
>>336584441
>>336584547
It's not different. It's a Steam key.
12k peak players for a brand new AAA MP game.
DOA.
Already bought Battleborn for my Bone. Got it for the single player and Co op.
I don't give a shit about PvP so I'm skipping Overwatch.
>>336584547
Console player base is higher than PC I believe but that's not unusual behaviour.
>>336584858
What but I'm not playing on steam...
>>336584317
Maybe I'm not explaining Melee Caldarius well.
I don't mean you play him like a melee, I mean that when you get into melee range you wreck shit.
But to answer your questions, if any of those get you just double jump or Gravitic Burst away. Those are situations that you don't want to be in and should get out then wait for a better engagement.
Putting out a free beta the day after Battleborn releases is no accident.
>>336586163
Nope.
Neither was holding their closed alpha just before Battleborn's open beta.
>>336586163
>Blizzard killed Memelands: The MOBA with an even shittier FPMOBA
GLORIOUS
I'm enjoying it a lot. Dunno why everyone cares about player count so much as long as it can be played and matches can be found.
>>336586163
battle born is shit, full of memes, and is generally unfun. Fuck off anthony burch
battleborn is the poor man's overwatch, if the poor man had 20 dollars more to spend on a game
>>336587115
>spends all day on /v/
>hates memes
>>336587586
You are comparing two games whose greatest common ground are attempts to appeal to people who enjoy the COSMETIC fixations in MOBAs like skins, emotes, titles.
If the only thing you see in both of these games that makes you say they are the same is completely superficial, what does that say about you?
>>336587115
Burch had no part in the game.
>>336587586
Your implying OW is better...
>>336560363
Because people dont appreciate having to unlock every character despite the game being B2P
Because people dont like the lack of feedback from attacks. it feels like you're hitting air.
>>336588185
Let's be fair, he got the lead writer for this game the job.
>>336578409
You realize calderius is a melee character right?
>Supporting a game where a character says "Feminism is awesummeee!!!"
Burch would be proud
>>336560363
CITY OF THE DEAD
AT THE END OF ANOTHER LOST HIGHWAY
SIGN POSTS LEADING TO NOWHERE
But I do like the game more than overwatch. It helps that the tone the game goes for is more appealing to me
>>336588441
Base level, his TMP has better DPS than his melee.
He has upgrades for both options in his helix.
His ridiculous mobility means he is meant to be a chaser, he picks out priority targets, isolates/confuses them with the flashbang, and then uses whichever tool is appropriate for the target - if it's someone like a half-dead Phoebe, he will use the TMP, if it's Miko or Reyna he will melee.
>>336588667
So you're just a retard, gotcha.
You do understand that his gun does more damage based on how close you are to the target?
>>336588407
But he did not.
>>336589310
You do understand that the TMP is mapped to M1 right?
I never said the guy was a fucking sniper. Of course a submachinegun is going to be close ranged.
If he's a melee character, why does the only melee skill he has cause knockback? Why does that same skill have a helix upgrade that also sends him AWAY from the opponent?
>>336589592
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6vLLt0hXRk
Right in the first fucking minute and a half.
He even introduced the cuck to his wife.
>>336589669
No seriously, are you retarded? He has 2 melee skills. One that is spammable and uses his energy blade like a sword, and the other that has knockback and extends the wrist blade in a stab motion.
>b-b-but i didnt say he was a snipper
Retardo, his gun LITERALLY does higher damage the closer you are to the target. The closer you are, the higher % damage increase.
>b-b-but he can get a talent that
Because being a melee doesnt mean you cant get any escape moves.
Seriously, you're the kind of retard that goes on my team and causes me to lose.
>>336588507
Considering he only says that line after killing a female character I don't think burch would be proud.
Bought it yesterday day for my PS4, loving it, played all day yesterday.
Miko and Phoebe are my favorites so far. Looking forward to unlocking calderius.
Tried to get my fiancé to do the co op story with me last night and boy what a disaster. She couldn't hit a goddamn timing as orendi lol.
Anyway this and Paragon are going to be my main squeeze for awhile.
I wish they would do some thing slightly different with the Incursion game mode. Like maybe a bomb you could bring to the sentry, it's pretty fun regardless some people just turtle for 20 mins.
>>336589928
Not the anon your replying too but that guys a better writer than burch.
But please though senpai, if your going to play a support actually use your left trigger every now and then. Can't tell you how many Ambras or Mikos I've seen who want to be more power ranger than bro.
Most Reynas I've played with were all right.
Most Reynas I've played against get rekt....by me as phoebe
>>336582673
i like oscar mike inv skill
its pretty hard to see him with the clustterfuck going around
>>336560363
Battleborn litterally looks like a parody of a video game.
Like the self awareness was so profound that it broke the fourth wall and started knocking on a fifth one.
is it better or worse than paragon?
its a direct competition with overwatch, a game by BLIZZARD
blizzard has some of the most loyal fans i have ever seen and every game they release is a big hit
also, 20 dollars more expensive and not nearly enough martketing
>>336591348
Better. God damn is paragon awful.
Any fans of The Killers kinda salty about this game taking the spotlight of the name "Battleborn?"BLONDE HAIR BLOWING IN THE SUMMER WIND
>>336591739
Would been pretty cool to have one of thier songs in the game.
Anyone know if the player base for this game is bigger on Bone or PS4? I have both, just curious.
>>336592805
Ps4 is a likely guess.
>>336592729
The titular song has a great "never give up, fight till the end" vibe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPJQQeeYDYI
Blizzard saw that battleborn came out on the 3rd and released their prepurchase beta on the 2nd so people would flock over to them instead. Blizzard does that shit all the time that's how they keep getting people to come back.
>>336560363
Because Over watch is better in literally every way.
>>336593825
But they are not even the same kind of game.
One is a 6v6 pvp game. The other has shit like creeps, levels, buildable defences, more than 2 game modes.
I just decided to look up a video of the game.
So... it's just MOBA trash?
>>336593825
But that's wrong.
>>336595860
Kinda? It does not have all the same fundamentals as a moba.
But its certainly better than death match huurrr duur.
>>336595970
No it's not.
Its just as bad.
>>336596053
But it makes character rile diversity shitm like overwatch.
>>336595970
>>336596053
Looking at the vid, it's the same thing with the differences being that it's first person and that it's $60.
That being said it looks fun, but, I'm sure that's because it's first person and maybe after 4 or 5 matches it'll wear off and it'll just feel the same as any other MOBA except with the sweet, sweet, aftertaste of buyers remorse
I didn't even know this game existed until yesterday from Dunkey's video, while I've known of Overwatch for 1+ year
Just bought it, hoping for some fun.
>>336596323
It doesnt feel like a moba, it feels like a first person shooter.
The dota elements are pretty weak but significant enough to make this a completely different type of game than say overwatch.
Shitting on people With Shayne and Aurox, they should have had the capture the point mode in the beta, it's fucking awesome.
If anyone on PS4 wants to do some private story missions then say so.
>>336582673
>that scrap cannon is god tier for pushing melee characters away and juggling weak people into walls so they can't run
Nigga just stick melees with a slow grenade to escape and juggle people into walls with your quick melee.
>>336598974
Capture point is fucking cancer, worst game mode ever. Might as well be playing tdm
>>336600546
Care to explain why?
>>336600597
i don't like capture point because the game feels fucking empty when theres no creeps or turrets or anything. might as well be playing overwatch then
