Overwatch or Battleborn?
>>
>>337796496

Is that real?
>>
>>337796496
Battleborn hands down. One of the best games I've played in a long time. Really makes me think of the golden age of gaming: Modern Warfare 2, AssCreed 2, Uncharted...
>>
Overwatch because it's cheaper
>>
>>337796553
Yes it is real. The game doesn't show all those UI elements most of the time, but it's still a visual clusterfuck, not just because of the tons of useless info on screen, but also design-wise. Game's a mess.
>>
At this point Battleborn is just trying to use this line to get more attention for themselves

They're two totally different games and I fucking hate MOBA game-types so Overwatch wins.
>>
>>337796553
Extensively cherrypicked, but yes
>>
>>337796569
Nice try.

But seriously, why does Battleborn have straight up DOTA 2 health bars?
>>
>>337796496
Stop shilling Battleborn.

No one gives a fucking shit about Battleborn and no one even knew what the fuck it was until some autists started all these shilling/false flagging threads.

We don't need a new thread about this bullshit game.

Now fuck off.
>>
You know, you could make your point without looking like a biased asshat if you if you used an Overwatch shot with the UI. It would still be miles better.

It's impossible, however, to take you seriously when you present your opinion in such a slanted manner.

But that's how /v/ always is, isn't it? People can't help but invalidate their own viewpoints that would otherwise be quite arguable by constantly shitting out hyperbole after hyperbole.

Mushroom yes, but it's still an extra moment of double checking every Mushroom when you want healing.
Other stuff is not so easy, I remember constantly walking into Thorn's and some other traps because I disregarded them as friendly in the midst of a battle. Considering how much shit there's on the screen it's really easy to make that mistake.

Wow, what a crybaby.

thorn's shit is one legitimate aoe that i do not know if it's friendly or not. can't think of anything else that would give me trouble. but i've played the game a lot
>>
>>337797312
I agree with what he said, not really how he said it. This battleborn ui looks like this for about 2 secconds of the game when everyone hits lv 5. The overwatch image has no ui. When looking at real overwatch health and skills are placed in the same spots as battleborn, its never as cluttered as battleborn but then again there as not as much shit you might want to keep an eye on in overwatch compared to battleborn
>>
>>337797496
I bought OB because of HL2, TF2 was just a nice surprise

Battleborn is irrelevant compared to Overwatch. It's just another game where as Overwatch is shaping up to be the next big thing.

battleborn is legit one of the ugliest games ive ever seen

You know /v/ is doomed when they prefer a microtransaction based multiplayer only online F2P garbage that's $60

compared to Battleborn that has a story mission, Coop, multiplayer, tons of content and characters that all play differently while having amazing gameplay

What happened?
>>
>>337798159
I agree

Yet it's legit one of the most fun multiplayer games i've played in years

People pretty much never post about Battleborn, yet we have people spamming /v/ with copypasted Overwatch threads (using the exact same images and text over and over).

If any game is getting shilled it's Overwatch.

I've seen tons of shills posting about it.

>> Everything is shit that I don't like because of vague reasons

I went into it very optimistic with the plan to actually beta test it, but the more I played and the more I heard the devs talk I realized how utterly terrible the game will be.
Really, I actually paid for early access to help them fix the game and I gave up on it. I say this as someone that has played or tried most MOBAs, including dead ones like Infinite Crisis.
If that doesn't tell you what a sorry state the game is in I don't know what will. The game is gonna flop megahard.
>>
>>337798724
Yeah, hundreds of copy pasted threads about BL/BL2 during their release were also false flags. You can generate attention through it too. Nobody cares about individual posts, it's hard to calculate reach with those, but creating a thread is a different story. You can see number of posts, for how long it's been up, how popular it was etc.

This image has become obsolete.

This anon gets it, we know battleborn is the better game but Overwatch isn't suppose to be like battleborn so there is no reason to compare them like this.
>>
>>337796496
>that screenshot

I'll admit that Battleborn can be a little chaotic at first, but not for that reason. The UI isn't actually that bad, but the onscreen action is. The game can be confusing as shit a lot of the time until you get the hang of it.
>>
>>337799159
Not necessarily. A lot of anon's forget that image isn't just about clutter, it is suppose to contain all the tropes most hated in shooters. Quick time events, underwater levels, escort missions, etc.
>>
>>337799067
yeah it's kinda unfair, battleborn has so much more content
>>
>>337796880
Overwatch also uses different voice lines for the ults depending on your team, so you know when it's an enemy or a friendly ult
>>
>>337796496
Lmao what mission is that I've never seen the hud cluttered with objectives and shit like that before what an absolute cluster fuck.
>>
>There are people who actually, genuinely enjoy Battleborn and will hail it as a hidden gem once the servers are shut down a month from now

How?

Depends, do you want a dead game or a game that'll actually get played?

Cause if you want a game that'll actually get played you'd go for Natural Selection 2

Real talk, how likely is it that Overwatch/Battleborn turn F2P in the future?
>>
>>337799547
Yes.

played both betas

hated Overwatch for the godawful map design and having only two shitty game types.

sort of enjoyed Battleborn but the characters are annoying and Gearbox is a shitty company full of actual murderers.
>>
>>337799584
Battleborn flopped hardcore so that's actually really likely.

Overwatch will eventually be 15 dollars like CSGO but it won't go f2p.
>>
>>337799584
>Overwatch
Unlikely.
It'll probably just go on sale a bunch like CSGO.

Not until the final piece of Season Pass content drops at the least.

>>337796496
Played the Battleborn beta and it's was meh. Not terrible, just kind of boring. Gameplay was kind of clunky and the humour was cringy as fuck.
The Overwatch beta was much more fun. It actually felt fast and lively and you could see the polish.
Both were betas so take it for what it is, but personally I think Overwatch > Battleborn.
>>
>>337800681
Why do you think battleborn was boring but like overwatch? Purely from gameplay perspective

Genuinely curious
>>
I absolutely hate push the cart gametypes and I hate King of the Hill in all games that aren't Perfect Dark or Halo, so I did not enjoy Overwatch much.

I mostly liked Battleborn aside from the hideous artstyle and cringy humor.
>>
>>337796496
Neither both are trash
>>
>>337799785
>Gearbox is a shitty company full of actual murderers.

alleged murderers, anon. you can't prove that we killed anyone.
>>
>>337800840
Battleborn is inherently slower paced.
>>
>>337796742

I play it, I thought it was pretty fun. Overwatch is too cartoony, Battleborn is too, don't get me wrong. But at least the characters in battleborn aren't all fucking smiling ear to ear about almost going into war.
>>
>>337800840

Not him but here's my reasoning.

Abilities don't synergize well in Battleborn. Everybody feels like they are playing their own game rather than as a team. I've never encountered something where two different people use their abilities in conjunction to do something. This makes the game feel less like a team game (which is what it should be) and more like 5 people who happen to be on the same team running around doing whatever. In Overwatch, you constantly see people working together and trying to use their abilities together in order to push objectives. Certain characters inherently complement others as well, leading to team composition being much more important and making the game more team focused.

As a result, Battleborn feels very boring. There is less emphasis on the team which is an inherent flaw of the design of their characters. Since the game is so objective focused, it's a bad thing that your team composition ultimately doesn't matter as much when no two characters synergize well with each other. It's the same issue SMNC had, which this game feels very similar to, and that ultimately led to it's failure.

Overwatch will be very much alive for few years after release with free updates.
>>
>>337801826
Battleborn's hud is honestly hideous.
>>
>>337802203
What's wrong with it? It's pretty much exactly the same as Overwatch's. You have the match status in a small bar up the top, notification popups in the middle, your character portrait and health in the lower-left along with secondary information (special weapons in OW, money in BB), and your skills, ammo, and cooldown status in the lower right. Overwatch puts your ult status in the bottom-middle of the screen at all times, while BB leaves that spot clear unless you have a skill point pending.

The only real difference is that BB has the minimap in the upper right while OW doesn't have one. Both HUDs even have a mix of opaque and translucent elements.
>>
>>337802203
nothing wrong with the hud. it's the actual particle effects and everything else going on in the screen that's the problem.
>>
>>337801826

Is this an elaborate inside joke shitpost or is /v/ just shill central now. As of now there are over ELEVEN posts about overwatch. There are only 2 Battleborn posts, one of which is a shitpost shill for Overwatch being better. So only one...oh wait that one is someone mad about Blizzdrones making shotpost #9999 about Battleborn. So there are ZERO real threads about Battleborn and over ELEVEN Overwatch shill threads.

I just want this game to release already and die as everyone who isn't autistic knows it will. But you keep shitposting now /v/irgins.
