You literally have no excuse now. Hop into the most exciting, fast paced, thrilling first person action shooter from Gearbox Software, creators of the hit Borderlands series.

Overwatch looks better though
DOA
The general consensus is that this game is great, we want it to succeed, and we want more people to experience and understand it. Cool thing is, we can easily help make an impact towards these goals through minimal effort:
Write a positive review somewhere. Amazon is a great place to start as well as Steam, or any of the major gaming review sites that allow for comments after the review. Doesn't have to be long, but put some substance into it.
This game could be a huge word of mouth success. It happens for movies, bands, and other video games quite a bit. Let's make it happen.
It's obvious that Battleborn hasn't been marketed enough and if you'd like to help Battleborn ensure its stay, then here are a couple things that you can do to help battleborn get noticed and therefore get more players!
The main way to spread things is through your social media such as twitter, tumblr, facebook, and even picture screenshots on instagram (Although it seems less effective)
1. One thing I did, and got almost 2k notes on tumblr, was just post the prologue video! I received comments drawing interest and even convinced some people to buy it!
2. Another thing to do is to post and write about your favorite characters with some pictures or gifs and what you like about them, their play style, and how useful they are with certain unique aspects of this game.
People love characters with personality so show them battleborn is chock full of them! show off your favorite character and gush over them!
3. Theres also talking about how chock full of lore and story it is, so along with campaign and awesome boss battle talk, you might want to add in
the link to the 3 chaptered pre-game "animated" comic or show off easter eggs to show the games humor! (since most people miss it) Or other things of this sort like direct funny quotes!
Is this just one guy, is Gearbox trying to harness the power of 4chan, or is this the new way to meme?
>>338499341
is this ironic reverse marketing
I understand it all now. Blizz and Gearbox planned this knowing mobas are usually free. They started this flame war, and now they are gonna bid each other down and pick up more sales each drop. It's genius.
>played the beta
>not even touching the gameplay the game was so visually offensive I had no urge to keep playing
I can't believe the artstyle is considered final.
Look at this shit.

Only about 24 hrs before overwatch shits this little "fpsmoba" that could.

Do all of their games have to look like the wind waker? Holy shit.
>>338500987
Don't forget the awful sound effects. It's not enough that the guns look like they're made of plastic, they sound like it, too. It hurts the eyes and the ears.
the one thing I kinda liked was the wacky humor this game seems to have. In that stream I watched the announcer lady outright said "it sucks to be them" when commenting on the enemy team, or this oscar mike guy, fucking crazy dude.

Art style is very much like those average guys who try to copy pixar style and who post on cgtalk.com forums for reviews. I will add an example
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=43&t=1207326
It's almost there but not enough to be enjoyable. They are just jumping on bandwagon with this game, it's an obvious cash grab.
Blizzard does it as well with Overwatch but at least it has consistent style and gameplay, which pretty much ensures it's going to be fun for 2-6 weeks and that's about it.
Haha! I love Gearbox!
Did you know that Randy won the Gearbox name from Gabe Newell in a poker match because they both wanted their companies to be called like that? Gabe had to call his company Valve because he lost.
I can't wait for them to finish the remastered version of Duke Nukem, it's going to have fresh new memes like Bazinga and remove all the misoginy the old version had.

Funny, I have my masters from an Ivy League school and my one major for my undergrad was based almost solely upon critical analysis (graduated with honors by the way).
I don't need to pretend to be smart like you, I know I'm intelligent. I just know what I like and I know what appeals to the general public/the major demographic of the gaming community. Sorry that I'm not a simpleton backwoods cunt like you.
Cell shaded graphics, immature humour, obnoxious characters, stupid amounts of loot, and explosions can't carry a game on their own. I feel bad that people like you exist, and that the major demographic accepts this trash as a quality game.
>>338506976
You still only see the first layer, so you must not have learned critical thinking during your critical analysis. You're perception is deluded, and narrow. Going to college doesn't make you smart. Some of the dumbest motherfuckers I've ever met graduated from some of the best colleges. It makes me feel good that someone could put so much effort into their intellect and still be so small minded compared to me.

No, i said one of my majors for my undergrad was based up one critical analysis. My masters was focused on human osteology and forensics you dumb fuck.
>>338507731
Borderlands has one of the most well developed lores of any fictional universe, but you have to collect all the audio logs and do every side mission to fully see it. If you just run through the main campaign yeah the story is pretty shallow. Gearbox is pro at separating story from gameplay, and letting you hunt down as much story as you want. Or just ignore the story and blow shit up.
>>338507897
Also, based upon your grammar and articulation you're clearly uneducated and ignorant/naive as fuck
>>338508058
Look at you sling monkey insults little man. At least I'm eloquent enough to tear you apart without resorting to base shitflinging.
>>338508157
Ah grammar I was waiting for it. The last fall back of someone with nothing else to say. I don't proofread my 4chan posts. Thats for people who rely too much on how they say things instead of what they are saying.
I'm excited to see the Steam numbers after Overwatch hits.
>>338508094
The games aren't good enough to warrant that many hours of exploration/hunting down collectibles.
People who defend these games are people who have no concept of what a quality game actually is and are most likely between the ages of 16-22 years of age.

>>338508990
Gentleman we have achieved butthurt
I think that people are overreacting to Battleborn. Having played the game in closed beta and open,. I found it fun. Not worth buying or anything, but it wasn't shit or awful. It just was just bland after a while, not to mention the balance was ass. Characters and abilities were nice too, but the graphics made the one game mode they had near unplayable (that one anon from earlier mentioned everything blending together, and holy fuck is that true)
Also I'm pretty sure the UI was customizable to be smaller than that one shit tier console screenshot, despite how obnoxious it is anyways.
overall, game is a 4-5/10. just unmemorable.
>>338508094
>Borderlands has one of the most well developed lores of any fictional universe, but you have to collect all the audio logs and do every side mission to fully see it. If you just run through the main campaign yeah the story is pretty shallow.
oh fuck off
So they hired a couple mediocre lit majors, wrote what amounts to a pulp-tier novella and threw it haphazardly into the game via audio logs. You cannot call that a success. The only impressive part about that is they circumvented any sort of acceptable process of worldbuilding or storytelling and they actually got retards like you to believe it was clever.
>>338506927
that game was horrible
>>338500642
I'm pretty sure its just a guy making fun of how desperate this game is... I hope so anyway, any viral marketer this bad at his job should be fired.
>>338509259
>>338509259
>So they hired a couple mediocre lit majors, wrote what amounts to a pulp-tier novella
Shut the fuck up. Many of the worlds most beloved fiction began in the pulps.
Lovecraft was pulp. Howard was pulp. Moorcock was pulp. Even fucking Dune began as nothing more than a dime store novel.
>>338508990
You've taken the bait. Lol jesus you're dumb
>>338509529
oh I guess all pulp was good then
spoiler - No they weren't, 99% of it was trash, because there was so much produced. The majority of it was cheap garbage. You have no idea what you're talking about.
And Borderlands is trash too. Get over it.

>>338508575
FROM. Story and game play are almost completely disjointed, and finding a new item with some lore is a joy.
>>338500642
I think it's some kind of reverse viral marketing where they keep advertising this, but bring up Overwatch so you get mad and want to buy Overwatch to spite them.
That or it's just shit posting
Is garden warfare a good alternative?
>>338509682
>oh I guess all pulp was good then
Point in my post where i said that all of it was good.
No shit. When you have an unfiltered publishing avenue, no shit the bad stuff will also come through.
But to claim that "99% was trash" is beyond being wrong.
Warhammer got its origins due to pulp influences. Eat shit, nigger.
>>338500642
Who knows, Gearbox has been known to do this shit with borderlands though
>>338499341
This is the most OBVIOUS shill attempt I've ever seen on /v/
This new meme is not funny. Battleborn meme shills please go.
>>338510015
Never heard of it but i will check it out anon since you came up with an answer
>>338510128
I think are either ignorant to the fact or severely underestimate how old pulp media is and exactly how much there was produced.
Hence why I said you have 0 idea what you're talking about.
Calling any sort story or book "pulp-tier" has been derogatory for literally decades, due to the bulk of it being complete garbage.
Authors in the early to mid 1900's could literally write hundreds of different stories and get the published with the way the industry worked at the time.
Hey kudos to your board game fanfiction though, but no one cares and you're still wrong.
>whaaah overwatchfans are just shills!
>This fucking OP
Yeah...
>>338504296
That was terraria
will this game flop kill Shillbox?
only one way to find out.
I think the character designs in Battleborn range from terribly boring to downright disgusting.
Like come the fuck on You can just tell what was going on at gearbox with some of these characters
>Uh so here's this gentleman, but he's a robot

Still not nearly as salty as gearbox right now.
>>338510505
Yeah but it's come to mean "So bad it's good" more or less, and Borderlands nails that deliberately. Battleborn too honestly. Which was my original point, that a deep story is hidden behind the deliberate pulpiness.
>>338508990
Fuck, I hate Borderlands too but the fact that someone as insecure you managed to get through an Ivy League college is more of a testament to their quality than to your worth.

I will give credit that there was SOME kind of potential somewhere deep within this steaming shitpile, too bad it was Gearbox that developed it
>>338499341
I still wonder what the fuck were they thinking when they set their release so close to Overwatch.
>>338511792
They thought their game was better
>>338511792
>Gearbox
>Thinking
>>338511792
They are in a mutually beneficial publicity arrangement. Being Blizzards rival gives Gearbox more credibility than they ever had even if they predictably lose. Blizzard gets all the free advertising the Battleborn fans put out while trying to flame Overwatch, and I promise some people will buy BB just out of dislike for Blizz. Also they are gonna bid each other down little by little in the prices, and pick up a bump of new sales each time. Ultimately the price will be low enough most people will just grab both.
>>338511694
Here's a thing anon:
Videogames are for the most part a visual medium. It's even in the name: VIDEO games
And I know gearbox' level of writing and can tell you, it's fucking rubbish and unfunny meme shit. I have in fact subjected myself to their crap before and am not willing to do so again.
So tell me, if the very first draw, the visuals, are already this fucking horrible, paired with the fact that past gearbox games are made specifically for meme-loving fuckheads which have disgusted me in the before, what kind of thing can you produce to undo my artistic taste, which is clearly above yours, and negate my more than negative experiences with gearbox?
>>338510967
Oh god I thought pic related was a joke
And to think, I thought no FPS could bomb harder than Evolve. Thanks for proving me wrong, Gearbox.
I'm not sure whether this is ironic viral marketing or real viral marketing.
>>338512194
See I think you're wrong. I don't think its about memeshit it's about originality. They don't care if some people think their characters are ugly, they make them how they want, and they write story to justify their choices, because fictional logic is so often scrutinized. Overwatch panders to the lowest common denominator, generic cool guy costumes, flat personalities. As long as there are no rough edges on anything. They don't even write interesting backstories, just little cinematics that dazzle your eye so you don't care how cliche they are.

>>338513986
>Is a stylistic choice really all you have to hate on it about?
No, everything else is shit too.
>>338513881
Because Overwatch wins, but their characters are generic hobos.
>>338510541
No, it was both.
The borderlands image became an instant fucking hate-tag for every thread.
It led to this place being nearly as unvisitable as it is now, but a few years ago, when there were actual engaging posts here.
I will purchase Battleborn and the DLC when it's down to about 20 dollars. I'm not paying 40 dollars for this.

>>338513881
Overwatch has decent gameplay, it's still a generic FPS, and the characters look like random fucking weirdos who don't know how to dress themselves or buy random pieces of stuff from goodwill.
>You literally have no excuse now
I do have one
>>338514507
Yeah, much better than generic fucking Grim Reaper man, and Blue Falcon Samus Aran, and LE INTELLIGENT APE :^)
Phew, so many fucking originals in Overwatch. Like Firestarter from 90s music video. I mean Junkrat.
>>338512130
Fuck no. Everyone will buy Overwatch, a few contrarian /v/irgins will buy Battleborn and Blizzard will make retarded bank.
Blizzard will certainly not lower the price of Overwatch in the first 12 months, and they probably won't for the second year either. Activision and Blizzard are bed buddies, and Activision doesn't do sales. Hell, MW3 is still full fucking price on Steam.
>>338514553

>>338512875
No the real staggering thing is that the UI NEEDS to show more for some characters. A lot of characters have stuff like charges on their abilities, or gear that gains stacks as you do things, and a lot of stuff like that that isn't shown places. I've got one piece of gear that I don't even know how it works because there's no way to check how many stats it has so I can't tell if it's functioning/resetting the stacks when my shield is damaged or not.
I'll give them credit for the depth they put into the game but holy hell the UI could use some improvement.
>Only 9 more positive ratings on Steam are needed to change Battleborn from "mixed" to "mostly positive.

Overwatch characters piss me off because I can point out 10 different shows, characters, and concepts that they come from. Blizzard literally took the most generic, appeal to all designs and turned them into their fresh unique characters.
I got super triggered seeing that Robot with the bird on it's finger. It's literally just taken from Dragon Ball Z, Iron Giant, and a dozen others, and it's the same exact drone design from Iron Man 2.
They didn't even fucking try.
>>338515572
It isn't bad. It's just not super amazing.
>>338513881
Pretty obvious

I am joining the battle for Overwatch 2: The Expansion Pack. Download now. Comes with 2 additional Diablo 3 characters for 59.99. And lots of additional costumes to customize your style :)

why are his legs and head so fucking tiny
>>338499341
Nice ad
>>338515238
yeah just donated my last $40 to Gearbox, guess I won't have groceries this week but I know I did the right thing
>>338515962
But o wait blizz confirmed new heroes and maps would all be free
>>338515605

You're talking about comparing generic designs to designs that are one part generic and one part shitty.

LOLLLL, EPIC

>>338516024
The head is a balance thing because he's meant to be a tank which doesn't work very well if you're super easy to headshot. No clue about the legs, if I had to guess I'd say either dumb ass design choice or to make sure he could see while looking down.

I hope they drown in their memes and die
>>338516227
Epic, simply, epic!
>>338516024
they wanted to make jokes about his tiny head due to his giant muscles.
So instead of making a proportionate and well designed character that has some sort of "tiny head" complex due to his big muscles, you just create a character with a tiny head
the jokes write themselves, jerry

Thats an android not a robot.

You DO know that a robot and a cibernetic human are two diferent things right?
>>338516436
>robotic/cyborg humans
Thanks for proving my point.
I dont know your understanding on human anatomy but they dont have miniguns welded to them or able to literally transform into turrets.
No one wanted Battleborn.
Everyone wanted Borderlands 3 (without Anthony Burch, and guess what, we're getting that, he "moved" companies) and more Tales from the Borderlands.
I don't know what the fuck Gearbox was thinking.
>>338516328
No its because the super soldier shit he took made his muscles huge, not his brains. Why would it make his head gigantic? His head is a normal guys head size it just looks tiny because his body is enormous.
>>338516680
So a Robotic Human isn't a Robot?
>>338516686
Why would they put a bunch of resources into another game? I think a lot of people are assuming it was a testbed for Bordelrands 3 features, like a dozen more characters or maybe even a Vault Hunter character creator this time around, and a bunch of different gameplay mechanics.
Most people are, probably reasonably, thinking Battleborn was a step to Borderlands 3.
>>338516721
only his arms are huge which makes it look rediculous
>>338516721
It clearly made his bones in his upper body grow to accommodate the larger muscles, so why wouldn't it work on his skull? Not to mention he'd flat out die if his organs hadn't increased their size or efficiency because there's no way his liver could cycle out the toxins in so much more blood and flesh if it were a normal human one.
>>338516965
Have you seen him in game? he's like 15 ft tall.
>>338516721
why does he have massive hands then.
they're twice the size of his head.
super soldier shit obviously morph bone so why doesnt it make his skull bigger.
>>338516721
There are a bunch of muscles in the head.

I assume it doesn't work on brain matter which is a sensible assumption because if your brain rapidly swelled, you'd die or go retarded.
>>338517035
Probably so he can carry his giant ass gun.

>47% price slash less than a month in
stillborn-shills can't use the "PC GAMURS ONLY PIRATE" argument on this bad boy because pic related is on PS4, the console with the most current market share.
>mfw they tried to say it's selling similarly to how Borderlands 1 sold
>Except Borderlands 1 sales increased, not decreased after two weeks
>>338517637
Can I use the I've been playing for 12 hours now and theres always players queued argument?
>>338517694
That's because Borderlands 1 was new. Unique.
Battleborn is heavily edited version of Borderlands 2. It's not new.

Just fuck off already Randy
Why doesn't anybody talk about Paragon? It's much better than Owershit and Shitborn combined.
>>338517743
Go wild, just keep in mind that anecdotal and hearsay evidence doesn't have much weight in an argument.
Reasonably speaking if a game is doing successfully a price cut wouldn't happen this early.
>>338515962
But what about Battleborn: Memey Meme's Memey Memers DLC campaign, followed by Feminist Friendo's Friendly EXPLODING AWESOMENSS DLC campaign, which is then followed by the Transexualvania Awareness DLC campaign, and finally the Nerdy Epic Pop Culture Reference Campaign of Le Randumbness DLC campaign?
I actually love Borderlands, and don't give two fucks about Battleborn, but honestly, this shit is pretty fucking retarded, and it's something Gearbox is guilty of. Blizzard however, not so much.
>check out Battleborn on twitch
>it's under paragon in terms of viewers
>see someone advertising "high level play with a pro scrim later"
>they're playing on xbone
Yeah, competitive level fps play on xbone. Suurrrreeee.
>>338512909
What the fuck are you talking about? Its just a falcon character obsessed with rockets. That's the joke
/v/ doesn't like Battleborn because it's bravely progressive.
>$60
What were they THIIINKING?
>>338518390
The only progressive thing about this game is its playerbase decline
>>338518629
I have no idea. Even back in the closed beta people were saying they thought it was way too much.
>>338500987
Battlefield 3 is that you
>>338518390
Holy fuck that image, god damn Im so glad im not anthony burch.
>>338517992
I would normally say thats true, but during the 12 hours of playing I've also been here, and I've only encountered 1 other anon whos actually played it. I'm the authority on this shit here, you're the one with hearsay.
>>338499341
I really hope this bankrupts Gearbox. I hope they pour their blood, sweat and tears (especially tears) into this game only for it to slowly crumble before their very eyes. Yet I want the dawning realization that this is *it* for them and their company to be swift and brutal so that they know their hubris is the fault for this ruin.
Scatter their employees to the four winds so that they never come together to work under the same roof again. I care not what happens to them, only that they are unable to find repose and regain their strength to reassemble under a new banner.
I hope for all of this so that one day the rights to Douk Nukim can be sold to a good developer to bring him back in a good game.
Hail to the King, baby.
>>338518390
Epic for the win. Racist drumpf supporters are the only people that hate battleborn, and they only hate it because they hate the right side of history.
>>338518390
What world do these fucking people live in?
>A rare surprise to see a cool badass female Rogue-ish type
No it fucking isn't, it's been an archetype for a long LONG time now. I look at that and think "Oh alright, another one of those characters." and that's it. Not in a spiteful manner, or with any sense of disgust, just, oh alright, it's a character like -that-, and she's brown, okay, and?
I don't understand what happened in these people's lives, to warp their shit so goddamn bad. And this is coming from a spic, no part of me thinks "OH GOD, FINALLY, SOME COOL BROWN CHARACTERS.", a person's skin color shouldn't be any sort of fucking point of pride or something to really feel for and identify with for any reason. That shit is just shallow.
>>338518390
>HEY LOOK AT DIS BLACK WOMAN IN OUR GAME, AREN'T WE INCLUSIVE!?!?!
Fucking fake and retarded.

Fuck off shill, the only good thing about Overwatch is that it's going to cause this shit to bomb and lose Gearbox and that cunt Pitchford a shit load of money.

You don't have to like the game, but the character designs in Battleborn are truly terrible. Tumbler feminism, fanart tier, parodies, things I thought were cool when I was 15, deviantart shit.. just no.
>>338499341
>>338499448
Holy fuck, is it really doing THAT badly?
For all the Stillborn shills that say Overwatch will flop and go f2p, it sure as shit seems like this is the game more likely to go free.
>>338521583
That's my favorite part though, I don't like either game but Battleborn sinking faster than TORtanic would be amazing.
>>338520208
I'd like it more if one of the characters had a taunt that let her go super saiyan. Or you know even just tons of dbz references.
>>338499341
>>338499448
Your game is shit gearbox, when overwatch gets released its going to sink
