GIVE ME AN HONEST OPINION ON BATTLEBORN, IS IT GUD? IS IT WORTH THE JEW GOLD?
I'M VERY INTERESTED BUT I'M SCARED OF SPENDING MONEY ON A VIDEO GAME FAD THAT WILL BE DEAD IN 5 MONTHS AND I FEEL THAT'S WHAT OVERWATCH WILL BE.

Its more for ASSFAGGOTS players than shooter players. Pretty much the polar opposite of Overwatch, which is more for fps players than assfaggots players.

Both games are inspired by both though
>>
>>337700765
yeah.. overwatch is more like.. TF2 with a tad of CS, Q3 and classes that mirror other games in fun ways.
A straight shooter but with 21 characters

Meanwhile battlenborn is a straight moba with lanes and minions, and shooting and gearbox humor
>>
Paladins is really mediocre.
It's entertaining for a while but it's really shallow and making "good plays" doesn't feel satisfying at all, they made the game too team centered.
>>
>>337700581
Sounded like a good idea. But non existent matchmaking means 9/10 games is boring 1 sided stomps.

1 game mode is currently not played by anyone since one of the heroes can cheese it.

The heroes also, for me at least, turned out to be much more boring than i initially thought.
>>
>>337700112
Honestly, after all this years, Tf2 still is the best of those 4 games. Although im playing a lot of Overwatch lately, it's fun.
I've played Tf2 for WAY too much. I needed a change.
>>
>>337700765
Well i've played more ASSFAGGOTS than TF so I guess that's good.
But does it do justice? And is the online active, doesn't seem like it'll die before a year?
Battleborn is more appealing to me. But I'll get overwatch if it has much more potential in the long run.
>>337701010
Ok so balance issues seems to huge.

And how are the heroes boring, you mean their gameplay and mechanics are boring, or just the character's themselves.
Because not League, not Dota, not TF, not even overwatch has appealing characters to me. They all endlessly seem bland as fuck to me.

It suffers from a lot of balance issues. Not that you could expect anything else from developers who revel in having big numbers flying out of the heads of your enemies.

>>337702214
That's because of the nature of the game. It's not an FPS in that the skill comes from how well you shoot, this is more like borderlands where it's about getting better gear, your skill in shooting comes second. Overwatch is the opposite. And both are fine, they're just different types of game. I was watching this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAMGrDUSGJU
Where both games are directly compared. And to be honest they both look good and fun, my main concern is how long will it be fun for? Which one do you think will die out first?
Both have more content coming in the future as well.

TF2's balance has gone out the window and it's just a flogged horse now compared to it's non-F2P days. Battleborn is DOA. Paladins is a while from launch and probably will scratch current TF2 numbers or more given the success of SMITE.

The early launch is only for consoles. The game is released the day before, but the servers still don't go online until the 24th, so that way the console version is playable at the exact same time as the PC version.

How the fuck is that a fair comparison?
The bitch has the ability to fly, that's exclusive to her, it's one character with the mechanic, it does not speak for every character or the whole game.

It'd be a better comparison if you showed that the rocket jumping or something similar is not at all possible in overwatch.

>>337704746
>Gearbox kinda fucked up everything marketing related with Battleborn so it's suffering from a lower player count
You don't think it'll pick up? I don't mean what will be more popular in the next 5 months, i mean which game will be more popular for the next year or 2 at the least, and which game seems like it'll have the most support from the devs in the long term.
I'm scared shitless that gearbox will literally just drop battleborn within a year if the player count doesn't pick up.

But if the game is good, it should pick up right?
Right?

You understand it straight away
Skill ceiling is low.
Three modes at launch
21 characters. Most of them use guns. More to come afterwards
Roster is unlocked straight away
Three modes at launch like they came right out of TF2
Developer has a track record of supporting even the deadest of their games
40$+ inevitable microtransactions for cosmetics

>Battleborn
Harder to understand intially
Higher skill ceiling
Three Modes at launch with one of them being KotH and one being Mobalike with one lane
Single player and co op available
Gear
25 characters. 1/5th of them use guns. More to come afterwards
Most of the roster is locked behind challenges
Developer has a track record of supporting their titles but has never gone into the MP space
60$+inevitable microtransactions for cosmetic and an additional 20$ for purely cosmetics and story missions.

Here's a QA with the lead designer of Battleborn

This is actually one of the biggest reasons why I'm not picking it up, that and it's made by Gearbox. Fucking war-torn Iraq is a more pleasing sight.
>>
>>337705040
I want it to pick up, yes. I do own the game myself.
But, if that's the question you're asking, then right now it is shaky about if anything is going to die.
Gearbox is planning on supporting BB to the best of their abilities according to a stream interview that got posted on Reddit
Just go with what you think will last and what looks good.

You're absolutely right. But if Overwatch proves anything, it's that waifu pandering certainly helps.

It won't die for quite a while, I'll concede, but it won't have as steady of a userbase as TF2 after two months time. It's not going to last 7 years, either.

I will admit it does but, when the chips come down, most of it's popularity comes from it just being a Blizzard title, at least in my eyes.

>I will admit it does but, when the chips come down, most of it's popularity comes from it just being a Blizzard title, at least in my eyes.
I have a group of friends/acquaintances who played the beta, none of which ever played a Blizzard game before, ever, including myself in that. (This is maybe 16 other people). I know for a fact that 14 of them have prepurchased OW after playing seeing as we're already organizing some team games.

Don't let me make a mistake anons.

The complaints about waifus is irrelevant to me, however, i did notice the visual mess it is when I was watching gameplay videos and it did deter me a bit.

I definitely wish battleborn had an aesthetic that was more soft and polished like overwatch.
Battleborn is a literal paint brush splatter on a screen. However, at the same time, it can make things feel more intense.

But we don't know how popular it will be after 2 months. If updates are consistent and they don't break shit, perhaps it will reach 5 years. The only reason TF2 exploded into a new wave of success was because it went F2P, before that it's population was declining.
>>
>>337705447
IMO tf2 died on its own when Valve decided to make hats, weird game modes and optional weapons instead of making an update to the base game. Now Overwatch comes out and it's just filling the void Valve inadvertently created.

Any other anons can feel free to add in stuff to the list but i will say.
Battleborn feels like a game that has the potential to grow but it's struggling at the moment seeing as how difficult the game is for people to "get it".
Overwatch is more immediate and will obviously have a huge community at launch because of Blizztards. But so did Diablo 3 and Starcraft.

So we can at least say Acti-Blizzard surely has a lot of money to throw out at marketing.

My opinion. Get neither. See in a months time after the shilling from Overwatch is done to see how both games are doing community wise.
I like Battleborn a whole lot but if you're on the fence, just take a step back. Or just get some more cash and get both, ya dingus. Getting them both off places like kinguin/cdkeys is the cost of a single PS4 title.
>>337707772

Cartoony styles are fun and distinctive, and allow things to be more believable.

For example, people would have a much harder time accepting a photo-realistic jetpacking gorilla or mushroom ninja. Cartoony styles just lend themselves better to more out-there character designs.

Good point.

At first I thought battleborn was the game being put in favor, then I looked at more videos and I see this very often.
"Overwatch is better" "I cannot see the appeal to this, it looks boring"
And then right after "well I tried it and I had a blast". Seems like everyone who's tried Battleborn are surprised by it, but like you or another anon said, it's not an entry level game, so I can't trust first impressions of it.

TF2 & Overwatch are the best.

All others are irrelevant.

I do hear this a lot.
So would you say that Overwatch basically be one of those games you play with your friends for a night or two before you go back to your other games?

You mad paladins is doing better than your shitty battleborn cuck?

>another try to invent a genre to see if it sticks like "doom" or "diablo"
>put tf2 in this fucking invented genre

please, do not enter in this pieces of shit game
>>
>>337709138
Well the shooter elements are pretty big in battleborn aswell. You need aim to track targets etc.
>>
i hope overwatch being a thing shows the fucking trashcan that is robin walker that people still want to play fps games.
>>
>>337700681
This. Even Blizzard's failures (like Diablo 3) generally end up outliving similar titles.

It's a company that fucks up occasionally but never on such a level that their games fall into oblivion. Considering how much they put into Overwatch development and promotion, I expect it to be a huge success regardless of whether or not it's as good as TF2.
>>
Honestly, it's a shit-tier normie genre and I don't indulge in it.

>>337700309
anatema. Its mere mention could get you executed by beth shill dept.

I'm glad you included paladins. It's so under rated. Still, overwatch is better.

>>337700112
You mean Class-based fps?

He is right you know.

Overwatch is a very fast paced game.

What about Gigantic?

>>337700112
Hi-Rez has repeatedly raped Paladins with one patch after another, each somehow making the game, which at a fundamental level is actually kind of fun, worse and worse. The game's own developers have killed it before they even got it out of alpha.
>>
>>337709681
No, because that would include fps military shooters that have basic classes like 'solider, medic, engineer'.

Hero shooters make each class feel a lot different than those fps class based games do.
>>
>>337710027
No one cares about that disaster of an ASSFAGGOT
>>
>>337710027
Gigantic is a moba, not a hero shooter.

Team Fortress 2 is the only one with actual interesting competetive gameplay in the form of mobility/push-based 6v6 or janky-ass 9v9, every other game is a gross halfassed MOBA/bullet sponge shooter hybrid at high levels where the only interesting thing is how well their teamwork is as they slowly make their way through chokepoints in gamemodes and settings that TF2 came up with years ago.

These games are really fun to play with friends, especially Overwatch, but they're just gonna be the fun flavour of the month game with teens and young adults until the playerbase slowly dies out like with The Division.

Overwatch has a huge advantage because it's a Blizzard game and therefore is guaranteed a huge playerbase so it'll die out slower, but it's really obvious that it's a soulless cash cow with microtransactions even though they expect people to pay for it.

TF2 has been totally fucked over by Valve though, and competitive TF2 is super unstable and volatile, so chances are TF2's competitive scene will die out before any of these other games (except Paladins) despite its merits.
>>
>>337710243
Overwatch entire meta is mobility and push based meta tho. No need to shill a decade old game like TF2.
>>
>>337710243
>but it's really obvious that it's a soulless cash cow with microtransactions

That's exactly what TF2 has become though.
>>
>>337703881
Nexon shit.
>>
>>337710243
I mean the only microtransactions in OW are the boxes which you already get at a pretty steady rate just from levelling up. And those only contain cosmetics.

It amazes me how people are still comparing their shooters with a game that is almost a decade old.
>>
>>337711194
have they stated that is coming? Because for now, there is no microtransactions in the game at all.

Is starwars battlefront 2 a "hero shooter"
>>
>>337711406
Fuck no.
>>
>>337711361
You'll be able to buy credits and loot boxes with real money at launch.
>>
>>337711361
Yes, it's on their game page. I'm pretty sure they said it at some point a long ass time ago.

They weren't in the beta because shit's getting wiped before launch.
>>
>>337710243
kotaku, is that you?
>>
>>337711406
No.
>>
>>337711481
Not credits, those are contained in boxes and from duplicate items.


>LOOT
>A random selection of customization options come packaged in Loot Boxes—you’ll unlock one box every time you level up, and can purchase more in the in-game Shop. Loot Boxes have a chance to contain credits you can use to acquire any specific cosmetics you want.
>>
>>337711651
Okay then, just boxes. Which is even more RNG to throw your money at.

>battleborn is a moba
>>
Overwatch is in a whole different league.
>>
>>337711000
Yeah, but TF2 competitive play and Valve-endorsed play are two completely different things. 6v6 with strict rules and 16v16 killfests are barely the same game.

Contrast that to modern eSports games where the developers have to keep both competitive and casual play in mind while designing the game. It's like Melee vs. Smash 4.

Why? All the classes play really different

Battleborn was more fun than Paladins or Overwatch, but I didn't buy it because I'm on PC and it was always obvious that the PC playerbase would be small for it. I have friends that are buying Overwatch, so I might get that at least the fact that it's 40 dollars is nice. It's definitely more enjoyable than Paladins. I haven't played TF2 in a very long time so I can't really comment on it anymore.

>>337711970
Not really. It's been a while since I played battlefront 2 but they where just different shooty gun classes e.g sniper, engineer etc. The only classes that play different are the heroes but you don't play them from the get go.
>>
>>337704843
and the solider is the only class with a rocket launcher? The demoman can sticky jump but its not the same. how is that not a fair comparison?
>>
>>337700428
it's just retards
TF2 and Overwatch are not similar to Battleborn or Paladins and people need to fuck off

>>337712639
>not liking shock trooper

Poor taste

It's more hero shooter than any on the board desu
>>
>>337712824
Tf2 isnt similar to overwatch outside of engineer guy that makes sentries with levels and payload gamemode

Paladins and overwatch are very similar. I've played both. Still play paladins actually. The only thing paladins does different is add the card system.

>>337700581

No.

Never get gearbox games.

jesus can you think of a better idea blizz?

>>337713721

Feels slowish, the item system in game is dumb and a complete turn off, it's really fucking pretty

This. It's a quaint shallow game but it's not as good as tf2 and only a matter of time it's novelty wears off.
