Why is Overwatch more popular than Battleborn even though Battleborn is a much better game with better character designs and much better gameplay?

Is it because Overwatch has a generic anime girl in the cover?

You tell me, Gearbox.

horrible shit game, ugly as fuck vomit inducing character designs and art style, boring as fuck gameplay, that's what Battleborn is


in fact, for every Battleborn shill thread you make, i'm gonna convince another person i know to buy Overwatch, just to spite Gearbox
>>
I got burned with Colonial Marines, and DNF also just realised Duke Nukem: Forever is the same acronym as "did not finish" coincidence? so they arent getting a full price purchase out of me until they prove their worth.

Subjective, personally, i dont like the Battleborn designs.

Subjective

Deciding factor for me is one is $50 and the other is fucking $80. Battleborn is not worth $80.

No seriously. Why and how are you surprised?

>Battleborn is not worth $80.

It is $60 without the dlc. Also that's a kinda subjective point. I've been finding $60 worth of playtime and things to do since it came out.
>>
>Game is $60
>Characters are all shit
>Campaign is terribly boring

Because it's the unholy child between Borderlands and MOBAs, but retains none of the very few good qualities either has, why the hell would anyone play it?

It's ugly and not blizzard.

Battleborn has a much smaller advertising budget and too many butch tumblr women compared to most of Overwatch's women being feminine and typically attractive.

They basically only published Duke Nukem. It was doomed from the start.

Overwatch is only $40, which is still $20 too much.

More like $40 too much

Both of these games make sense as F2P games. Except maybe Battleborn, due to its skill ceiling and because of the influx of possible shitlords who come in just to fuck shit up just to let their teams lose.

Nah, Battleborn is more of a F2P game than anything I've ever paid for.

Since 2010 all gearbox has been responsible for are three mediocre Borderlands games, a remastered version of a old sierra game series no one remembers, and then the shady as hell bullshit they pulled with both Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines and you're going to sit here and shill them out as a good company?

Get off of 4chan, Anthony.

The game is good but not great. It doesn't have any waifus so vee can't drool over it. Gearbox should have just marketed it as Borderlands: The MOBA.

So lets see

Gearbox
>One trick pony with memelands
>Otherwise a shit studio that pumps shit like Duke Nukem and Alien colonial marines
>Tries to jump on the MOBA hype train
>Makes a wacky looking game like Borderlands, but with MOBA elements
>It's a mess and not that fun
>Tries to market i against Overwatch for some reason

while Blizzard

>Fails astronomically while trying to pull off a MMO
>Recycles some ideas into a team shooter
>Actually pulls something fun
>Moves away from the MOBA aspects
>Makes a high quality game after a lot of time
>Avoids F2P business model

How is Battleborn even in the same category? Gearbox is filled with hacks and literal dank memes, /v/ never gives them a rest for SJWlands. But now Battleborn is cool? Just because of Overwatch? The contrarian hivemind are being hypocrites right now.

1. Shit artstlye
All the characters look like they come from four separate games. The world is angular, sharp, and displeasing to the eye.

2. Dialogue is atrocious
I actually liked a lot of Borderlands 2's jokes and even I can't take all the shitty writing in this game.

3. Game is an ASSFAGGOT
Meaning that instead of having quick gunfights and satisfying abilities, you have grindy fights where you shoot at tiny bots instead of the people across the way, game moves at a snail's pace, and everybody has shitloads of health that takes forever to whittle down

4. UI is shit
The UI is so fucking cluttered and I can't see anything that's going on when all the effects are whizzing around the screen.

In the new age of ASSFAGGOTS/FPS with ASSFAGGOT features, Overwatch and TF2 will stick around, Lawbreakers, Battleborn, Paragon, and whatever the fuck else comes out will fade away within years/go F2P.
>>
>>337858994
Im very sure battle born is fun, but not for 60$.

Also BB is using FUD because the launch numbers had something to do with overwatch open beta and it had a huge effect.

24th is doomsday dead on arrival the FUD is just making it worse brining awareness.

people are really bad at battleborn (on console) my win rate is like 90% and its really easy to carry a game by yourself so I'm having fun with it
