HOLY SHIT GEARBOX LITERALLY ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>
>>337873076

How the fuck was Battleborn more expensive than Borderlands 1 and 2 combined? They literally just reused the engine, have a 5 hour single player campaign and 4 multiplayer maps.

Fuck.

It's a shame they didn't invest anything in marketing.

Because they didn't have money to steal from Sega this time, it was all their own funds they had to use.
>>
>>337873325
Because BL2 wasn't funded only by T2, remember Gearbox took the money and ran from Sega
>>
Does this mean Gearbox will finally fuck off? Thank god

I like Borderlands, but this is also the studio that brought was Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines. Not a big loss.

I can't believe that the immature denziens of this forum who have never poured their blood sweat and tears into a game will celebrate the downfall of a game and possibly a studio.

You people have crapped all over Battleborn and Gearbox and have elected to carry Overwatch's banner because it has "waifus" whilst Battleborn has in depth gameplay and actual unique characters.

This is what modern gaming has a become. Nothing but a bunch of horny teens buying games with their genitals.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

This fucking "people only like Overwatch because of waifus" meme has to fucking stop. For one, Battleborn also tried to create waifus, they just failed. For two, the games shouldn't be fucking compared because they are very different. Battleborn is MNC with a new coat of paint, meaning it's basically third person Dota. Overwatch is TF2 witha new coat of paint, meaning it's a fucking FPS.

Maybe if Battleborn wasn't the most calculated attempts at creating a heartless cash cow they would have better success.

I mean seriously, a MOBA plus an FPS? How can you make a more uninspired trash combination. It's like they listened to a little kid idea guy.

They failed in the most important thing, which was differentiating it from Overwatch.
The two are completely different games, but because Gearbox dropped the ball so goddamn hard, they were seen as the same product. And guess what, people think that Blizzard made the better version.
Doesn't help that the game as a whole doesn't seem to know what the hell it is. Someone post that Randy quote, I forget what it was exactly.

Wrong. Battleborn is not only innovative and unique, it's well designed and easy to jump into yet difficult to master. It has a full single player campaign, PvE, and PvP. Overwatch is yet another class based PvP only shooter. Yawn.

Maybe they should have poured less blood, sweat, and tears into it and put forth a bit more effort. The whole thing is riddled with flaws and problems that any serious playtesting would have lit up like a fuckin spotlight.

Seriously, how did the entire dev team seemingly miss the fact that the UI is absolutely atrociously bad and that the battle effects make it utterly impossible to tell what's going on in even a minor skirmish? You might as well play this thing on a fuckin tablet for all the visibility that you have.

We should be ashamed of ourselves? Fuck no. Those devs should be ashamed of themselves for trying to push something like this as anything but the cash-grab DLC-delivery system bullshit aimed at the lowest possible skill demographic that it obviously is.
>>
>>337873842
Obvious troll but I never really got interested in Battleborn because it just all looks like generic shit. The waifu thing with Overwatch works because ultimately it gets your fucking attention.

Just looking at those two pictures, the two battleborners look unforgivably dull in comparison. Then I watched the opening cinematic for battleborn and just dropped it altogether.

Dude, I don't even play Overwatch or any Blizzard game, nor I have an interest in playing them at all. I'm just glad for Gearbox's misfortune. Karma is a bitch and they deserve all the shit they can get.

>>337876312
I hope so. i sort of liked battleborn but godamn are Gearbox due for some karmic feedback for the shit they do.
>>
>>337875182
I don't give two shits about waifus, and I have to say, I actually really like Overwatch's character and level design. Battleborn's art direction really just does not click with me at all, something about the majority of the characters feels so off. Aside from that, from what I've seen, while the gamepaly itself looks decent, everything else around it just looks so very messy from an aesthetic point of view, to the design and color palettes of the menus and everything, I dunno. Just comes across as an odd mess, to me. I just don't have any interest in it, likely because of this, as aesthetics as a whole are so damn important. Though I don't care about it now, maybe I'll try it later, because I do enjoy RPG/FPS hybrids.

Having said that, if you're some mildly annoyed Gearbox employee, I'm sorry. Really, really, -really- cannot wait for Borderlands 3 though. I guarantee you, give BL3 your all, and you motherfuckers will cash the fuck out.

Try to make sure it's not too pandertastic like the shit Burch was pulling, that's the only thing I'd avoid.

Is this bait? The downfall of gearbox is certainly something to be celebrated, and it has nothing to do with what their competition is.

They made their defining game with money that they took from SEGA, essentially stealing the money since they were supposed to use it to make Colonial Marines, but instead outsourced that to yet another company and made their own thing.

On top of that, they phone it in more than any other game developer. They've used the same engine for Borderlands 1, 2, pre sequel, and Battlborn, and despite the improvements in technology and hardware over that period of time they have done little, if anything, to improve their game's visuals. Obviously graphics aren't the only important thing, but their games like good sound and visual design as well, the voice acting and writing are terrible, the animations are jerky an unnatural and they put no thought into balancing their games which is especially heinous if you're making something that's focused on non-cooperative multiplayer.

So they steal money and can't be bothered to actually put effort into their games, so why the hell shouldn't people be happy if they drop out of game development altogether?
