Blizzard went for the simple tactic. No bars on what character to use, matches aren't extremely long and all the characters have a charm about them.

This is in comparison to battleborns extended match times, grinding to unlock a character you want to play and a bunch of forgettable characterss whose quirks are mostly pop culture references like the chicken dance from arrested development or gamergate jokes

Blizzard have had an incredibly successful marketing campaign with Overwatch. Giving the "beta" almost exclusively to streamers and youtubers but making it seem like anyone without a significant following had a chance of actually playing the game was so obvious and so effective I can't believe no one has done it before now. It turned the game into this rare, sought after commodity.

Also, Gearbox are fucking awful and it feels like people are finally cottoning on to that fact.

It's practically impossible to get any meaningful amount of cosmetics without buying them though

Right, but it won't be in at launch. It's only skins though.

A shop nonetheless.
Kind of an iffy move to include one in a p2p game if you ask me, even if they start "cosmetics only!" it can be a slippery slope.

you have to look at it from another persons set of eyes. I know that alot of competitive players from games like Team fortress 2, Dirty Bomb, UT and W:ET that don't find the game all that fun, but are forced to learn and play it simply because its the only arena shooter like competitive game that is guaranteed to have a scene. The game is flawed with issues, but no one gives a fuck so long as there is guaranteed fame and money.

It's not cosmetics though, it's a mechanic to get cosmetics faster. They are not locking out people out of getting them through gameplay, it's not CSGO or Warframe.

Because the multiplayer is already dead.
I'm level 4 and it takes me at least 5-10 minutes to find enough players to start the game, all of which are 99% of the time level 50 or higher. From what I can tell, or at least, what i've experienced, snowballing happens pretty quickly in this game, so it essentially boils down to "enemy team gets 5 kills and proceeds to dominate everyone" followed by our team surrendering after about 5 minutes"

Aside from this, the "story" is boring shite again, and is made worse by the fact that every character is almost the exact same generic "badass merc" with unfunny "badass" lines and reactions to everything, like literally every other character gearbox have made aside from like 5. Honestly at times I feel like i'm watching a children's TV program with the quality of writing.

Marketing. I've gotten old and don't play much vidya anymore and haven't played multiplayer games since TF2 went F2P. But in the last few months I couldn't go anywhere vidya related without hearing about Overwatch. I tried the beta and actually enjoyed it so I bought a copy.

The fact that they're being uncertain as hell with everything surrounding this matter is what really makes me raise an eyebrow over all things.
They can very much change their opinion regarding "free" heroes and maps later on, and since they already stated "optional real money purchases available" on their initial product details, well, might as well take advantage of it. And at what point, why even charge money for the game if you're going to fund yourself through an in-game shop? I'm having horrible TF2 flashbacks on some aspects right now.

I'm not really against shops, they can be ok if properly implemented, but they rarely are, and I don't exactly trust modern developers/publishers/whathaveyou.

I mained Mercy then 3 other charactets during the beta and only got one drop (a spray) for her and a few sprays and one skin for my other characters. But I got plenty of drops for the characters I didn't touch. I hope Blizzard tweaks the algorithm to favor characters you play the most.

They'll obviously sell cosmetic stuff but I don't think they'll sell heroes, which is the important stuff

My point is that adding any kind of shop sets the framework for all kind of bullshit, also in my eyes, kind of an scum move charging for the base game alongside it.

What if they start adding weapons and loadouts just like TF2 did, or some other similar gimmick, they never said anything about NOT selling that kind of thing through the shops, did they? and they might as well do since, well, everybody interested in the game got it already, and they'll need some funding to maintain all the shit.

I don't know, I'll probably end up buying it because I had too much fun in the beta, but I'm afraid I'm going to regret it down the line, and I'm even more afraid it's going to be TF2 all over again.

If you want some kind of competitive high ttk shooter Battleborn is the only choice right now.

It isn't even much of a traditional moba, besides having level progression during the match.

I play Overwatch, I pick a character, and I know I have all the tools at my disposal.
I pick up Battleborn, and immediately feel fucked because I haven't put in the pre-requisite amount of time into the game and don't have access to good loot or certain upgrades in that weird helix tree.
Also, Battleborn is a fucking mess visually.

the only similar game in the market right now is paladins which is hot garbage. this game is not for people who like traditional dota.
>>
>>337447303
Everyone is already burned out on mobas.
They are downright stressfull.
Putting 5 strangers with non established social dynamics into a situation where a very high level of teamwork is required is automatically leading to tension and rage.

And 95% of players arent playing as full stacks.
I always wondered why and how this genre became this popular.
Because it doesnt work at all if you dont have a fixed full team.

Battleborn is a MOBA.
MOBAs are the worst games.
Overwatch isn't a MOBA.
Therefore it's fun.
>>
>>337455281
Every single post 2004 blizzard game is casual except sc2.

He isnt wrong.
OW is a very casual game, it doesnt even show a scoreboard ingame so underperformers cant be raged at or dont feel pressure to perform.

>>337455167
Well I have about 1500 hours in DotA 2 and I'm not really burned out. I actually got most of the time I've played out of it from beta to a couple of years ago and started playing again recently.
I just get bored of it sometimes because I have so much play time, but if there was another new DotA style game with the similar complexity then I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. I tried HotS today and it was a giant pile of casualized dogshit.
The reason I might get burned out has nothing to do with stress though. After so many hours you can automatically work with randoms on some level and as long as the other team is similarly disadvantaged then it's at least partially a game of who can pick up on this better. Unless someone picks Outworld Devourer.

>>337458942
And it's fucking pointless to compare features of the two because they're completely different games at their core, you retard. Nobody is going to buy Battleborn over Overwatch because it has 27 heroes over 21. Nobody is going to buy Battleborn over Overwatch because it has unlocks and leveling. People are going to buy Battleborn over Overwatch because they want a full-on MOBA with some shooter mixed in rather than the other way around.

Nobody I know who wants to play Overwatch gives two shits about Battleborn. Nobody I know who wants to play Battleborn gives two shits about Overwatch. It's like asking why people play CS when they could play superior Battlefield 4 because it has unlocks, and better graphics, and a campaign, and 64 players.

Stop right fucking there. I don't often say this but the art style is downright disgusting in Battleborn, it looks like it deserves to be in a fucking 2012 p2w Play Store game or something, it's that bad. Like I said I'm not usually a graphics fag, bug Battleborn's stick out like a sore thumb.
