Marketting. Overwatch blew it out of the water with marketting. Then Battleborn tried to pick a fight, which just made them look pathetic.

marketing, because it has nothing to do with OW

BB is like league of legends + fps, and has campaing like destiny or warframe wich is really fucking fun and awesome

OW is like TF2

get BB at least for co-op campaing its worth it

I play both Overwatch and Battleborn, and i bet you my life that you will have more fun with BB, why you ask? because they are different games, different genres
>>
It's a mess of a mash up of genres.

There's MOBA and Tower Defense mechanics demanding awareness and team play without facilitating either with mechanics.

It's First Person so you can't quickly track important information like lane positions or teammate locations. You also can't track for shit with the several melee characters.

Compound that with aggressive bloated HUD and unrestrained particle effects going off everywhere and you have a recipe for an ill time.

It came out at FULL RETAIL price on digital distribution platforms when it's biggest competition was releasing for 40 bucks and already slated for a better start due to extensive beta hype marketing.

This alone should be enough to convince any reasonable individual not to support these thieving pieces of shit. But then you have the acquisition and destruction of the Homeworld franchise. The release of Duke forever, a game that should never have seen the light of day. And the constant insulting and patronizing from Gearboxes own mouth towards their consumers for not being satisfied with utter shit business practices. You shills need to realize you're never going to convince the people here to buy this game, and we're going to continue to laugh as the price and playerbase gets lower and lower and I hope you're first on the chopping block when the inevitable layoffs start.

It was a scam game. Not nearly enough content to justify it's launch price, the campaign was too short and didn't utilize most of the characters they made and it fell back on wave defense too many times. Unlock requirements get ridiculous and only recently could someone who doesn't have at least two friends were able to unlock everyone outside of the slow leveling system. Like Destiny and the Division the game is designed to try and get you to stick around as long as possible with as little content as possible, because 2 maps for each multi mode is just pathetic.

Why can't the Battleborn shills/fans talk about their game without mentioning Overwatch? You're the ones saying they're completely different games (although they're both colorful shooters based around heroes, so they look very similar to the average consumer) so why do you keep mentioning Overwatch?
Reminds me of Nintendo fans saying "sonyggers" everytime Nintendo is criticized and vice versa, just form actual arguments and maybe you'll be taken seriously.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you unlock everyone by leveling up OR doing some challenge?
I don't think it's the greatest game out there, but it seriously gets WAY more hate than it deserves. It has modes, characters, and levels being made for it for free and all the actual fans of the game are total bros. I can't say the same about the Overwatch players. They either ban you because they are insecure pussies, or they are total cancer who rage when their team loses. I think people should just give the game a shot. If you don't like it, fine. Just play it for yourself instead of listening to the people on /v/. /v/ has always been wrong. They were dead wrong about Doom in recent memory.

But it doesn't retract anything from a fictional piece, I know because whenever there's a hot girl doing a "wooow sexy power look at my moves" thing it does nothing to me, neither arousal but ALSO no negative feeling. Which puts me back into the point that for anyone to feel something negative while looking at a hot guy then there's some serious issues with the person.

You mean stealing stuff that has been used before? By other games? Games that came out before the games and videos they stole it from? So, did Call of Duty rip off Doom? Did Windwaker rip off Jet Set Radio? Even if they legitimately stole ideas to make their game, it's been done by plenty of other studios as well. They "borrow" ideas and call it their own all the time. The only reason /v/ hates them exclusively for it, is because their game happened to do really well and ended up being really popular. You fucks are hypocritical hipsters who hate anything that gets big. You all lover Blundertale until it got popular and now people call the game Reddit. You all praised Battlefield, until it got popular on other platforms, starting with BF3. You're the same people who praised Amnesia for being the "Best" fucking horror game in years, until PewDiePie made it popular to normies. I seriously hope none of you listen to the faggots on /v/ for advice on games. Even /vg/ is better. Hell, even /b/ has better discussions on video games than you meme loving fucks.

Ok let me put it this way, there's a cutscene, you can either make the male character act normal or you can add a sexy element to him. It's the same amount of work, but adding a sexy element you'll please more:
>gay men
>bisexuals
>females
And bear in mind that current polls put bisluts on numbers as high as 40% in some areas. That's a huge demographic they are missing.

And I'm not even talking about some crazy thing like two himbos wrestling in oil semi-naked. I'm just talking about a tighter clothing so it reveal the body form, angles that give the spotlight to a butt and things like that.

besides the obvious problems like:

the actual game itself has some fairly big issues:
>tacked on single player campaign
>shitty edgelord story
>ceaseless, awful attempts at humor
>over-wrought character designs
>LoL style unlocks, SEASON PASSES
>the moba elements only break the flow of the action and bog down progression
>LEL balance
>redundant modes, only one is worth playing
>the actual FPShooting is watered down at best

its just the worst of both worlds with lousy maps, shitty characters, fuck all balance and even the single player game is short and forgettable. its simply not worth 60 buckaroos, much less has enough content to fucking justify a season pass of any kind.

its tries too god damn hard and fails at almost everything. you can see/have brief glimmers of fun, but its quickly ripped away from you by the utter shittiness of the whole.

if it were free to play, it would be alright at best.

Let's not be complete idiots, 3d Realms sold them the rights, and then went and tried to make another game without the rights.

They effectively pretended that they had never sold anyone anything but still pocketed money for it.

They're both shitty for effectively stealing money from another company, let's not act like one is better than the other, especially when 3D Realms is also responsible for the state of the Duke property in the first place.

The game is alright, but misses the mark on certain things. The single player is redundant as all hell, and I get bored with a level 30 minutes in. The heroes skills don't feel impactful on other players.

For the most part the game is fine multiplayer, and of course like any game is fun with friends.

Yes you can unlock most people heroes, not the new ones, through leveling or challenges. The problem is that some of those challenges are just retarded, Ghault is probably one of the best characters for PvP because if you set up a trap and a hook it's almost a guaranteed kill on anyone but the only way to unlock him is hit Level 40 or complete all the campaign missions on Advanced Silver or higher. Problem is until recently there was no way to play Advanced difficulty in matchmaking, so you had to have friends or play the game solo and certain missions, like Saboteur and Renegade are very difficult to do solo because the AI will prioritize sniping the core over killing you almost 50% of the time. And now after adding MM Advanced Campaign when there is barely anyone playing normal campaign, it really makes no difference.

It should also be noted that I really can't tell the difference between normal and advanced, because they play almost the exact same. Fuck the final mission wasn't any different on the harder difficulty the enemies just did more damage

You're pretty factually wrong. All it takes is loading up the first level on both difficulties to see it, the very first spot you encounter enemies the advanced difficulty has like double the enemies, and half of them are tougher enemy types including some that will ceaselessly try to spawn more enemies.

But if you're not satisfied with that level of being wrong, the final mission also doubles the number of bosses in the boss rush section, simultaneously. You cannot have possibly missed the fact that you were fighting one boss on normal difficulty, and then were fighting two different bosses on advanced.

When I hear people saying that they enjoyed Borderlands games I feel like I'm from a different fucking planet.

The first one was so boring. The only thing it had going for it was the artstyle, but even then the environments were all the same and everything had a grey and brown tinge. On the other hand, the gunplay was terrible, there was no enemy variation, enemies were bulletsponges none of the npcs did or said anything interesting and it was all just wow/diablo 2 with guns but worse in every aspect.

Borderlands 2 was more colorful and the gameplay felt a bit better (but not by much, it was still shit) with the addition of having extremely poor and annoying writing, as opposed to the first game, which had no writing at all. They're all just so weak from every aspect and so boring to play that I can't wrap my head around the idea people liking it. It's like enjoying listening to someone singing out of tune.

My sister loves borderlands 2 and I don't understand it much. The writing is very desperate to impress teenages to the point where I don't think a teen would even like it. Yet here we are, I guess I learned that if you're writing for teenagers just write a zany whacky dude who doesn't take anything seriously and makes jokes about dicks being blown off. You're immune from being serious but also still get to be "cool".

Then explain to me how to play it right and what is there to it more than shooting the same enemies for 10 years with shitty guns that manage to get progressively shittier because they're randomly generated.

Who fucking cares what 3DRealms think?
They deserve all the shit that's thrown at them.

Their offices is now a Goodwill store and i'm glad. Atleast it's not a waste of space as it was for nearly a decade.

they weren't going to say anything until the artist saw it and pointed it out and all of a sudden Gearbox felt bad.

if the artist wasn't a Borderlands fan, IDK if anything would have happened.

Different strokes for different folks familia

For me it's one of the best games I ever played, and I have no idea why. I guess its because of the replay ability, loot system and RPG feel to it.

Although I can't say it's objectively a great game, it's certainly better than average.

Now, call me a faggot all you want, I don't mind, I know I don't have that "patrician" taste in video games

Has there been a documentary or a huge writeup on 3D Realms Duke Nukem Forever history yet? That's probably the best post mortem to read through if anyone's worked on such a thing.

borderlands 1 was tons of fun, of course with friends only, I went through it two times with friends. I honestly can't say it is a good game if I had to play it sp.
What I really liked was that it was like diablo 2, but an fps, the item gen system was relatively good.
The gun play was mediocre, but going through missions with friends, rescuing each other, thinking of tactics on how to pass this and that without dying a million times was all part of the fun. The gunplay isn't that bad, it's just a cover based shooting.
I don't think there is a way that they don't make bulletsponge enemies and have item gen at the same time.

Shut up Scott. How DID Bombshell score again? The game so bad even LGR told people to avoid?

I despise 3DR because of what they did to Duke, what they did afterwards and their association with the lying Danish shitbag known as Fresch. I also hate all the crap they were throwing at the mod community before it all went tits up.

A game with exactly the same premise but far better marketing and far better company backing it up was released at the same date.

Overwatch.

Oh, forgot to mention b2 was shit and so was the pre-sequel, both had terrible item gen and the missions and levels were shit compared to the first one.

There's a point where "everyone is entitled to their opinion" doesn't work anymore and that point is where you admit that you admit liking to read books that have been soaked in water. Everything you said you enjoyed about it is objectively done poorly. There is no replayability at all, the gorillion guns are all shit because they inherently couldn't bother designing good guns and there is no "RPG" feel to it, you just level up skills like in WoW.

>it's certainly better than average
I guess you must've not played enough games. It's not even about patrician taste, it's about having no quality standard at all.

Why are so many people claming that overwatch objectifies women ?
Can someone explain ?

No. Least not a proper one. There are so many people and companies involved with it, you need a fucking graph chart.
id is involved. Epic is involved. Fucking Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation is also involved in its development in a minor capacity.

He's not credited. But he did contribute, not sure if he actually based a character on Brian or if it just coincidentally ended up looking so retarded that they resembled each other though.

The debacle with tracer having an ass that they were talking about removing a month before release because some tumblrina thought asses were unholy and were gonna taint her imaginary six year old daughter who persumably would play overwatch.
