What went wrong?
shit character designs
>>339603352
Over watch did it better
>>339603352
If you chase two demographics you shall lose them both.
>>339603352
bad marketing and lack of real support to fix there bugs
The style and humor in this game is super off-putting to me.
I guess a /v/ poster shouldn't complain about something being juvenile, but fuck man.
>>339603352
Overwatch
>>339604492
dunno, overwatch is shittier by miles and sold well.
>>339604742
Were they chasing casuals and TF2fags?
>>339604884
FPS and MOBA fags
>>339603352
Overwatch had better advertisement
>>339603352
Tried challenging Overwatch right out of the gate
Little to no marketing
asked for 60$s when a game that's practically the same was asking for 40$s
It's a gearbox title
The maps look like a colorful mess of garbage
I'd say the only thing this game has on Overwatch is the fact that the characters are slightly more interesting to look at, but that's somewhat cancelled out by other characters looking atrocious.

Fuck, did you see Battleborne's designs? A fucking mushroom and le lumberjack Canadian, eh?

Overwatch had porn.
Bicker all you want about advertising and game differences, that right there is the kicker.
>>339603352
It was developed by Gearbox who could not steal segas money to work on it.
>>339605290
Porn is the by-product of popularity, otherwise we won't be seeing porn from source materials that doesn't "normally" intended to be sexual to begin with i.e. MLP, Sonic
>>339605178
Sorry I couldn't remember how Battleborn was spelled so I just guessed.
>>339605264
Wow, that is really fucking depressing.
This isn't sinking ship levels of sad, it's plane crash into side of mountain with no chance of survival sad.For You
Battleborn. From the makers of Borderlands. A game that makes you think that you would rather play Borderlands.

You mean $42?

It was a train-wreck from start to finish. Somebody thought "What if we turn Borderlangs into a first-person MOBA?" and nobody told them what a fucking awful idea that was.

>What went wrong?
Color scheme and most models really kill my desire to play the game.
Perhaps if I was 8 years old again.
The only character I like is that one girl with the floating swords.
When I played the Alpha it was immediately apparent the game had some serious flaws.
- Borderlands crowd love loot but loot was put behind chests you had to buy (never found out if this was strictly mtx or what).
- The humor and story felt really forced but that didn't even matter because it was impossible to focus on since you were always in the middle of some chaotic fight.
- Enemies were bullet sponges and didn't have much variety.
- Ugly character designs. Seriously. All of them.
- Bad/confusing map layout.
I was immediately turned off and reported my feedback but it looks like they just went ahead full steam with their original vision.
Horrible ui and characters aside.
Played the tech alpha and beta cause I was desperate to play anything after not getting into the OW closed beta. The actual game play felt fucking horrible. It felt floaty like I was playing some third rate f2p Korean grindfest and the shots didn't feel like they were registering.
>>339603352
yeah, i played the first beta.
immediately couldnt get onto the servers.
they kept fucking up and dc'ing me. Didn't bother playing the first night.
Few nights later I tried it again, matchmaking was fucky, no real info on how the game worked, felt kinda hollow and stupid.
>>339603352
Moba fags don't want to play an FPS
FPS fags don't want to play a moba, simple.
>>339603352
Shit art design and horrible dialogue keeps me from even getting the game.
No idea how well it plays.
>>339605002
Yeah.. THATS why all their players got a refund.
