>released during overwatch beta
How do you fuck up this bad?
>>337080798
they want to compete and they lost
I never even heard of this shit until a few days ago.
Is Gearbox really that bad at marketing?
>>337080798
>implying blizzard didn't purposefully set the beta date to coincide with the BB release
say what you will about the quality of blizzards games, but they sure know how to mercilessly kill competition
It's a fuckig shame too, the game is really good fun.
I'm not a fan of the moba-like game mode, but the characters and especially in-game levelling feels pretty novel and is applied eel to other game modes.
>>337080798
Both games look and play like they were aimed for people who haven't been playing video games for more than 5 years.
It's too easy to wipe the floor with people online in both, I'm still getting Overwatch but holy shit I want people to git gud.
>>337080798
>>337081081
its one of those games they develop to sustain before releasing borderlands 3
alien colonial marines, borderlands TPS, and now battleborn
little to no marketing, they're just here to make a quick buck and it works
remember kids : no publisher gives a fuck wether the game is good or not, they sell for the same price as those who get goty and 10s from ign, they got your money already and its all that matters
>>337080798
Kind of hard not to.
Overwatch has been going in and out of beta for the last 3 months.
I wouldn't doubt that Blizz would put out yet another beta right before their actually release just to fuck with people.
>>337080798
Can someone explain this to me. Did gearbox literally just develop this game to ripoff and compete off of Overwatch's succes. I mean I don't give a shit about either game.
But is GearBox that fucking lazy?
>>337081936
doesn't play anything like overwatch besides first person though.
Game actually has a story mode and characters level during games just like normal mobas.
Overwatch is just a prettier looking TF2 with special moves.
Battleborne is First person LoL with a story mode.
>>337082134
don't act like the story mode actually mean anything when it's just waves and waves of the same 5 enemy
>>337081382
>remember kids
god, you're a faggot
>>337081936
Considering Battleborn was revealed before Overwatch, that would be the other way around.
Regardless, the games would have to actually be similar to rip each other off, so you don't have to worry about that.
>>337082228
Not saying it is. Just telling you the differences.
Which is pretty much everything besides it being a FPS.
>>337080798
The game is good, but not great. So far, I'm not having any trouble finding teamates.
If you got the time to kill, the game is fucking good. I highly suggest it, even the PVE is fun, and sometimes difficult.
The games have nothing to do with each other other than visual style and being a shooter
Overwatch is akin to TF2 while Battleborn is akin to Dota

t. gearbox shills
>Gearbox actually thought that people wanted games from them that aren't Borderlands
>>337080798
>>337080798
Seems fun but $60 fun? Eeeeeeh
1: Gearbox made all their announcements before Blizzard, giving Blizzard the chance to counter them.
B: Battleborn and Overwatch have FPS and Multiple Heroes, the similarities end there
•: Battleborn is for more in-depth long term play, Overwatch is for shallower casual time-to-kill play
Lastly: Battleborn is more MNC than LoL, Dota, Smite, or any other game traditionally called a MOBA, Overwatch is TF2 Blizzard Edition
Both games are fun, both will have their niche in gaming.
Personally I think Overwatch and Battleborn have some really shit designs for their characters, I want to fuck Orendi tho, Battleborn has more depth. I didn't like how my attacks never really felt like they did enough damage in battleborn and the screen gets cluttered with so much particle effects I lose track of what the fuck is going on. Overwatch is just plain boring and incredibly shallow with no room for growth. I prefer battleborn but too expensive and dying playerbase will make it so I never play it.
Battleborn Bingo, here we go
>>337083134
>screenshot of player numbers on Steam
>>337083308
>Poorfag thinking price is unreasonable
>b-but they're different genres
No one fucking cares that Overwatch is closer to TF2 and Battleborn is closer to a moba, for all intensive purposes they fill the same niche for the majority of casuals.
I'm so happy that blizzard is shitting directly down Gearbox's throat, I can't remember the last time a game's release was cucked so completely, and in this case they got fucked over by a beta, not even a full game.
>>337083517
>someone for some reason defending this trainwreck
thats a bingo!
>>337083615
trainwreck? a game that hardly anyone knew about starts slowly? man, stop the fucking presses!
>>337083712
you're right! Its got nowhere else to go but up!
I forgot this was even a thing after it got announced at E3. Guess that's what happens when you use such a shitty art style and a generic two-word name like every other fucking MMORTSMOBAFPSDASWDAFGSWGW that gets shit out onto the market place.
>>337080798
If they delayed it, people would have shit on it.
It was released during Overwatch's beta, so people shat on it.
If they released is early and added unfinished content later, they would have been told they're rushing and being greedy.
There is no winning here.
>>337083615
>>defending this trainwreck
Dawg, it's the same shitposts every Battleborn thread. I'm just having fun playing my own game. Waiting on a few more things that are always posted, then we' ll have a bingo.
>>337083952
the "winning" move would have been to make a good game at a decent price and advertise it
three fucking strikes
>>337083952
>If they delayed it
Little do you know it actually was delayed. They wanted to release in February but after the CTT they needed more time to balance and probably finish some things up.
>>337080798
They were bold, what's wrong with that? Not every developer if a pussy little shit that bends over, anon.
>>337083517
Someone crying shill when someone say something positive about Battleborn. >>337082995
>>337084397
This
Just imagine just how hard this game would've been shit on even more if it pussied out releasing next to Overwatch.
I'm sure Gearbox knew what they were fighting, so you have to give them some credit by doing it anyways.
Unlike most developers who pussy out because someone calls them "problematic" on twitter.
>>337083134
>12k highest CCU
LMFAO HOLY SHIT THATS PATHETIC
>SINGLE PRIVATE WOW SERVERS HAVE MORE PEOPLE CONNECTED TO THAT RIGHT NOW THAN BATTLEBORN HAS EVER HAD CONCURRENT
>>337080798
What were the "designers" thinking?
There's a limit where cartoonish proportions just become grotesque, and whatever the FUCK this is well passed it.
>>337080798
literally more dead on arrival then overwatch
>not having 11/10 waifus in the game in 2016
good luck
>>337085360
>Games need waifus to survive
I wish you subhumans would go away already
They don't have to pander to you virgins all the time
>>337081081
It's Gearbox, they have their head so far up their own ass they probably thought they could go 1v1 against Blizzard and win.
You can totally imagine the meeting they had when deciding the release date. "Yeah we're Gearbox, we're totally amazeballs awesome fuck yeah! Lets release the game a month before Overwatch and fucking destroy Blizzard because we're so super we can do that fuck Blizzard!".
>there are people on /v/ RIGHT NOW who actually bought this game

>>337085539

Not long. Even Evolve had better numbers than that at launch.

I'm gunna be honest and just gush for a second here; but this was one of the first videos I saw about Battleborn and the passion that those guys talk with about their craft is heartwarming. Call me a fag, but that video got me excited that they were trying something new. Everyone who wants Borderlands 3 wants Borderlands 3 (myself included) but I'm glad that Gearbox is trying something different and stretching their wings a bit.
op i wanted to believe
but now the reality of battleborn has set in and it is grim
>>337085290
honesty this is probably inspired by one piece
what are everyones favorite characters? I've been digging Miko, also been messing with shayne and aurox
>>337080798
I'm never able to find a match, fuck this
>>337086625
I had some weird NAT shit going on when I was trying to find matches on Xbox, try hard resetting if youre using instant on
>>337086295
They are only doing this because they want to see how they can balance 25 vault hunters in one game. This was a test.
>>337080798
>stellaris reach 21k at launch
whoever did the marketting and pricing needs to get fired
Shoudla just made a borderlands MMO to compete with Destiny, not an FPS MOBA
>>337086849
I'd like to see vault hunters with three abilities.
>>337085718
>@LadyFuzztail @GearboxSoftware I am in the middle of the biggest game launch of my career. Already gave dude my time. Dude has gone insane.
>biggest game launch of my career
This was him talking to someone about the EDuke32 fiasco
>>337083615
You need more than three things to get bingo retard.
>>337086918
In their defense Stellaris is PC exclusive, I imagine more people would be buying Stillborn on console
>>337086295
If only they'd have that much passion as they run a beloved franchise to the ground or blatantly steal money from publishers then they would be in a better situation.
>>337087246
>tfw working as temp customer support for Blizzard Entertainment during SC2: Legacy of the Void's launch means i've had bigger game launches under my belt than the majority of Gearbox

What happened with that mod?
>>337087554
Don't come into a gearbox thread and start shitting like that, anon. Randy's got plenty of passion for stealing money and crapping on customers.
I don't think there's anything he's more passionate about period.
>>337087853
One of the guys who worked on it and was getting royalties for Megaton Edition is having legal issues with Gearbox.
http://techraptor.net/content/duke-nukem-dust-up-gearbox-vs-gobeille
Man, I would love to get this game, but 60 bucks is kind of killer. It's a really fun game though. I'd love to see it live a long time. I love the variety in characters much more than Overwatch.
You all do realize that the release date of Battleborn was set in stone well before Blizzard announced the open beta for Overwatch, right?
If anything, Blizzard purposefully allowed people access to their game the same day as Battleborn released. That's some slimy business right there.
>>337088440
Yeah, but it's nice karmic retribution for the shit Gearbox have pulled.
>>337088563
>battleborn is gearbox
awesome. that means packed full of cheaters by the end of the week.
>>337084658
eyyyy I like it, can't believe I missed that
What else do we have here... aha!

>>337089160
There are no goalposts. The point is that a game does not need to have several hundreds of thousands of people playing it to be lively.

>>337089480
I'm not the same guy who said it's growing. There are more people posting here than you and the person you happen to be arguing with at any given time.
>>337088727
Why does TF2 still have so many players? Everyone keeps telling me its dead but 50k isnt bad.
Are those just bots or something?
>>337089587
It was about a minute after my post and you said "guise" like the other guy did.
>>337089585
Yes.
http://steamcharts.com/app/273350
>>337089585
Yes, because it was hyped and advertised.
Then it crashed and burned due to it's fucked business model.
If anything Battleborn may end up being the reverse of this, low sales at the start that build up due to having an actually fair business model. They're releasing new characters and maps for free and the only thing sold extra right now is the Co-op missions.
>>337089704
>161 in the past 24 hours
J U S T
I bought it. I thought the Beta was fun. I was bored with the Overwatch beta by Thursday and bought Battleborn then. I think Battleborn has a bit more depth and variety in it's gameplay.
I also went to the Launch Party in Dallas. Gearbox gave me way more than the $30 I paid on a key selling site in their open bar.
>>337089704
Guise is a pretty popular term to use when you want to make light of an argument.
>>337082337
Most people here are kids trying to be edgy
>>337089848
Not on /v/ it isnt.
This game any good?
I've already signed up for CliffyB's Lawbreakers Alpha, keen to play that.
Overwatch is okay, a bit shallow though; a problem that seems to be commonplace in recent Blizzard titles.
>>337080798
Played it's open beta. It was so tedious, shallow and overall UNFUN it still hurts. How did they fuck up this bad is a mystery for me, since even borderlands series was enjoyable
>>337090157
If you think that, you haven't been here long enough.
>>337090171
It's a fun game, more fun definitely if you have friends to play with. It is fairly "deep" as far as how much customization you can do.
>>337090171
It has a single player/coop story mode with 8 missions running about 45mins each.
PvP with 3 game modes:
>Capture
Basically King of the Hill with 3 points
>Incursion
Basically your MOBA gametype with less laning phase.
>Meltdown
Basically kill the enemy minions, keep yours alive
Fun as fuck with friends and even with pubs who talk. Surprisingly a lot of people talk on PC.
>>337091059
i dont get your pic
>>337089670
Global playerbase, like CS and Dota. Idle bots were killed off years ago, nobody does that anymore.
It's a fun video game. I think some people were holding off purchasing it until they played Overwatch. I know I did. I'm confident numbers will swing up, even if slightly, in the next two weeks.
>>337091452
I just wanted to keep with anon's theme.
As a side note, this match was too much fun. Whenever I saw my Cald double I screamed at the team to not kill him.
>>337091059
>>337090694

>>337091803
Just so you know, any gameplay you watch is gunna look like vomit on the screen, and you'll have no idea what's going on. That's normal.
This is a game where you accept that you don't know what's going on at first but are willing to learn what everything means on-screen.
>>337081240
Holy Shit, I have seen this exact post, with same typos. And here I thought paid shills was more of a /pol/ thing..
