> Despite being discounted by 40 per cent over the weekend (which is almost unprecedented for a AAA game in its first month of release), Battleborn‘s numbers haven’t rallied as we head into June. Not only are player numbers dwindling, but according to SteamSpy, the amount of time that Battleborn‘s relatively few players are spending in the game is quickly decreasing
> The game saw only a slight peak on Sunday, with its highest number of concurrent players peaking at 12,101 on the day of its release. At the time of writing there’s a fairly dismal playerbase of only 2200 online. That’s less than the number of people playing Youtubers Life, that sim game about being someone who plays games on YouTube for a living.

How does it feel to be murderers? Your incessant crapposting literally murdered Battleborn.

So what exactly happened here? Is it just the timing with the far more heavily marketed Overwatch being released around the same time or is it sort of a "WoW effect" where no MOBA-like game can be released without being overshadowed by whatever the dominating game of the genre is, in this case LoL?

Marketing and $40 ($60 if you want the skins) pricetag. Also, Overwatch is a bit more aesthetically pleasing overall. You can put the characters side by side and your average normie will gravitate towards the Pixar looking shit.

That, and I feel like marketing behind this wasn't great.

Rember, this was a game that was first unveiled by Randy Conman Pitchford as:
>Battleborn is: FPS; hobby-grade coop campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice + epic Battleborn Heroes!

On top of that, I really couldn't tell you much about the game, and I'm someone who plays vidya, listens to vidya podcasts, and browses a vidya chinese imageboard. I have no interest in Overwatch, but I can tell you it's TF2 with more people and also butts.

Also, no one likes Gearbox anymore, and they haven't done anything to earn back trust, either as honest business people or as creatives.

It wouldn't be a smash hit if it released almost two years ago when Overwatch was just a Pixar-esque short on YouTube.

Now, being released at the same damn time as a vastly superior game only wrote the Stillborn in stone.

Hey Randy I am little bit worry people are starting to compare us to Overwatch even if our game is totally different and I dont want that we put ourselfe in a position that Blizzard think we are trying to compete with them for the same people so I am thinking to spend some money on marketing to show the people thatour game is more of a moba shooter and Overwatch is the new TF2.
>Randy the fucktard CEO
YO DONT WORRY FAG, I FRAG THIS !!!

>randy proceeds to post on blizzards twitter posts with Battleborn and taunting blizzard

At what moment Randy thought that it was smart to go against Blizzard a company with a market share of almost 29 billion $ who has a bigger marketing budget for Ovewatch then what Randys whole company is worth , we will probably never know.
>>
>>339714813
>unique characters

uniquely bad, sure. everytime i hear/read someone saying the game has interesting characters, i get confused. i mean they are interesting, but not in a good way. in a "trying too fucking hard to be different" way. they literally have a penguin of doom. come the fuck on.

the game even uses censor bleeps as punchlines. its as if the game was entirely written to appeal to edgy preteens.

Because of this, it could have been a groundbreaking amazing game, and still no one would have played it.

Basically, Gearbox has no fucking clue what they're doing.

battleborn failed because of bad marketing choices. they should have either released it one month earlier, (i would have picked it up then) or a few months later..

Let me spell it out for you. Battleborn has its open beta phase. 2 million players. Battleborn launches. At launch, the peak players and all time peak is a mere 12k people on pc. After one week, 6k. After two, 4. After the launch of Overwatch, around 2.

Blizzard took some swings at Gearbox for sure, but the game was a fuck up. Literal millions of people gave the game a shot, and the tiniest of fractions of those people actually bought it, and half of those people continued playing after *one fucking week*. Even before Overwatch came out, the pc playerbase was virtually nonexistent.

It's just a bad game. Performance issues, late moba cash in, marketed poorly, picked an epic meme fight with Blizzard on twitter for some reason which fed the whole "Battleborn vs Overwatch" thing, cluttered visual design, horrible business model (60 bucks, 20 dollar season pass, and you still have to unlock over 3/4ths of the cast ingame). It's a fucking mess and it's just more proof that Gearbox have no fucking clue what they're doing and that people have truly stopped falling for their tricks. They'll still buy Borderlands 3 though.

I liked the first Borderlands, it was an interesting idea at the time. And then Anthony came in and turned it into Cuckedman's Borderlands. Gearbox deserves every bit of hate they have ever gotten.

Borderlands had a consistent theme of junk addled shit.
Some ASSFAGGOTS game doesn't matter about consistency of character design quite as much due to the view perspective.
LoL looks like fucking horseshit but doesn't matter so much
Dota 2 looks decent

Battleborn took shit designs and made you look at them in detail.
It's a huge clusterfuck and absolute eyesore.

This.

I remember the second or third mission in Stillborn had me storm some complex on a mountain and kill a horde of weird bull people or something. Hardest part about it was sitting through the unskippable audio that seemed to drag on for hours.

I get it. I need to shut off the scrambler stopping you from landing. You don't need to add in some stupid subplot about it fucking with your autopilot in a way that turns her in to a drunk teenager with daddy issues.

Yeah it's uncanny. I remember an article I had read when it was still announced as a fairly realistic with no cel shading FPS. The number of guns was a massive argument but the game looked neat.

Widowmaker is the only overtly sexualized character (and maybe D.Va when she's not in mech form). All the other female characters are wearing shit that's more tame than what you'd see out in the fucking real world.
