I understand why people could dislike BB, but giving any game a 0/10 unless it's literally broken and unplayable is bullshit. Same with giving a game 10/10 unless it is literally perfect. Fuck this guy.

That's a good way to describe the game.

It's so ugly and so "busy" that I barely understood what was going on. The thing with these kinds of games is that they need to be very easy to digest visually.

You can tell exactly what you're going up against just by looking at the character and making assumptions.

Big guy takes a lot of damage
Little guy is fast
etc.

It's why TF2 was so easy to pick up and play and why Overwatch emulated that.

But BB's designs are so ugly and so over the place, the player has a hard time understanding what the fuck is going on.

Add in leveling systems and MOBA elements and you have something very close to "color vomit"

>>339362112

Hardly their only bad choice. Everyone's already beaten to death discussion over the art direction. They tried to compete in the merch department even though their shit looks like you stuck Gumby in the Microwave. They held fast to the release date even though they knew the storm was coming.

But worst of all, they tried to charge not only $60 for the main game, but an extra $20 or so for a season pass, a season pass that if you don't buy you have to grind to unlock all the characters. The game is already full retail price, and you're expected to spend more for all the content. Meanwhile Blizzard got goodwill heaped on them for offering a lower price for the basic edition on PC while having all characters unlocked from the start for free, and future content (including maps) also being free.

The only way Battleborn could have stayed competitive is by releasing itself as F2P.

True. I've already spent $20 in loot boxes in Overwatch because I feel like I'm getting additional content on top of a full game.

If I was forced to spend that $20 on a season pass to unlock half the game I wouldn't bother.

Season passes are never a good idea
Optional cosmetic micro transactions are harmless and make more money.

They spent more money in battleborn than they did on borderlands so yeah the most they've ever put into a vidya in their history. I'm sure Randy is fuming. Everyone at gearbox was saying they were sure battleborn would become much bigger than borderlands ever was.

I'll admit it I enjoyed bl 1 and 2 with friends a ton but I still realize how corrupt gearbox is. I guess this is just karma. Well at least they made this and it flopped rather than doing bl3 and having it flop. That would've been a death sentence. In the coming months this shit will be forgotten and they will still be known for borderlands when their name comes up.

It's their own fault.
They could've waited a few months and polish it some more. In a few months, people will be tired of Overwatch, and that could have been the game they go to.

That's such a fucking bizarre decision. Why do that at all? Why come up with a shit new art style? Why not reuse the Borderlands universe for their shit MOBA?
I'm not sure if it would change anything but I'm guessing it would improve sales even if just slightly. They also took a long sip of the feminist kool aid. You can't have a moba without waifus.

Wasn't Battleborn announced and teased first? And though there are very obvious similarities at a first glance, they're very different games. Overwatch is just getting mad marketing cause Blizzard is op, so it's more successful, plus Blizzard's a more generally well known name - parents will know Blizzard nowadays due to WoW, not all of them will have heard of Borderlands or Gearbox. Though they shouldn't have been released so closely. Had they been a few months apart, people would just refuse the 2nd game cause of it being a 'rip off' and wanting to 'mooch off the other's success'. Business.

They put this review snippet on their steam page:

>“When inevitably compared to Blizzard's Overwatch (purely on the PvP options since Overwatch doesn't have any PvE at all), Battleborn is a deeper, more complex beast that has far longer match times and a slower, more methodical approach.”

Almost as if companies like SEGA and Fraxis want to cash in on the tablet market and thus alienate it's core customers or some shit.

The flak is all because of the microtransactions bullshit, it's always been a great game.

Hats didn't ruin it, but it did decrease the quality of the game substantially.

Character design in overwatch is okay, TF2 absolutely shits on Overwatch in gameplay, map design(2Fort doesn't count as it's the shitter trap); and balance.

after lurking /v/ during the past few weeks and this thread right now; I can confirm with 100% accuracy that Overwatch/Blizzdrones are the true cancer of gaming.

Battleborn looks mediocre, but the lengths Blizzdrones go to attack it is far more pathetic than the quality of the game, and their hypocritical arguments/logic are ironic at best.

>be a mediocre game
>get endlessly attacked for being a similar product to something mediocre Blizzard made
sadly, this isn't even the first time we've seen this behavior either.

Remember when Warhammer Online was coming out in the height of WoW?
funny thing is, Warhammer Online was functionally better than WoW too

Even funnier is, when a Blizzard product isn't the most popular on the market, those same rabid fanboys retreat with their tail between their legs and never mention it again.

Borderlands 1 was a good first try. a sort of Diablo FPS game, with a space desert planet western thing going on, with nice cel shaded graphics.

Borderlands 2 lost the fairly decent writer, and hired Anthony Burch (who had "criticised" game writing for Destructoid, with his Rev Rants thing... which suggested he'd be good at it). Turns out Anthony can't write for shit.

Then it also turned out the Borderlands art style was stolen from another guy, by way of not paying and then pretending no dicsussion had ever happened.

then Anthony proceeded to meme up the game, and shit like hidden Minecraft ares were added

tldr: BL1 was a good start, BL2 trashed it and killed any further success.

whenever Anthony Burch talks about other writers not, he always talks about "how much better at writing" they are. This included instances for the Telltale spin-off, and Battleborn, and basically any writing project he's ever involved with since.
