This guy's character design and lore.

In game ISIC is overpowered as all fuck and honestly should have his ult nerfed. A mobile bastion turret that has a railgun AND missles? Wew.
Also the opening cartoon was well animated.
To all people who may have played BattleBorn, I get that you all like Disneywatch better.
But can we actually discuss why this game still got a 74 on metacritic?
A 74 isn't a bad game, it just not a great game.
And in my eyes that's just what BattleBorn is, a perfectly average game that did a few things right, but also a lot wrong.
What could've made the game better?
What could've been done differently?
What direction would you have preferred the gameplay to go, more fps, or more moba?

I love that guy's look so much but I'm not sure I could bring myself to play a first person MOBA. Battleborn has far superior art and characters to Overwatch (Montana excluded) but ultimately I just want neo-TF2.
>>339830907
That is basiclly what he was, I am sure that someone more versed in ideas and ideologies like nihilism could provide a more accurate term for his personal ideology.
I'm not being paid to do your job, OP.
F2P when
>>339830780
>>339830907
ISIC's main thing is "reality is a joke with the ultimate punchline, everyone dies. So in light of that fact I'm going to burn everything in the universe to the ground and beat the universe at its own joke"
The happy nihilism (spelling?) and pretty witty comments, made me think of mr ledger.
"Suck it organics, there's thousands of me!"
Its just a shame that ISIC is in BattleBorn.
If he was in Pixarwatch I might actually be able to enjoy the game.
>>339830259
>the right kind of crazy, like heath ledger joker crazy.
At least try to fit in, marketer.
>>339831010
Someone soubds like they get their shit pushed in by montana.
You only hate him because he isn't russian.
>>339831010
Agreed.
Only part I like about Montana is how his VA sounds like Patrick Warburton
>>339831098
I wouldn't call him a nihilist really. He was trying to teach people a lesson and show off the darkness inside everyone. He wanted to break people like he himself had been broken. He was seeking a twisted sort of affirmation, not something a nihilist would ever care about.
>>339831563
Spec him to be a sponge and he wipes the floor with everyone.
The one character that bored me is rath. Way to easy to play.
>>339831428
>If he was in Pixarwatch I might actually be able to enjoy the game.
He couldn't be, because blizzard have a company policy against writing interesting characters. Against writing characters at all, actually. You're only allowed to rehash stuff you've seen other companies do. It used to be only stuff you've seen games workshop do, but valve fucking them in court made them spiteful.

Who killed Battleborn? Was it Blizzard, or was it Nvidia, or was it Mr. Garrison, or maybe the 1991 Denver Broncos....
>>339830259
>ISIC's turret form
>overpowered
You move like a turtle on sleeping pills while it's up, on top of being a big-ass target.
If you step out of position with it even one iota you get riddled with bullets or bombarded with CC (which automatically throws you out of it).
ISIC ain't overpowered; he's a solid A-tier character though.

How did battleborn FUCK UP so badly, everything from that game is so ugly
Another thing that BB did right Imo,
Was the unlocking of character lore through in game challenges.
Yeah that kind of thing has been done before and certainly isn't anything to buy the game for,
But it's refreshing to end a match and see that you unlocked a little bit of the character's backstory.
Somtimes it'll just be documents, and sometimes it will be a recorded Voice segment.
Little things like that
>>339832386
I have yet to run into players competent enough to get me out of it.
Seriously, I pop isic's ult and wipe the team.
>>339830259

Is school already over?
>>339832619
Because your team is probably doing their job well and holding the front lines, giving you free reign to unload.

The ONLY reason this game bombed is because it's a visual mess.
There's nothing distinctive at any point. Everything blends and blurs into the thing next to it.
I don't know how they managed it but somehow at no point can you ever just look at the screen and realize what's happening.
See this screenshot? See how the colors/contrast blend and make everything appear to take place in the middleground of the image? This mysterious lack of depth plagues the entire game and is subconsciously making it very "off" to play. The colors clash but the saturation is so low that it's just offputting. THEN to compound that they threw this horrible bloom on everything so it glows and continues to wash out the depth that already wasn't there.
People who aren't aware of what's happening will just call the game boring. Because it is. It doesn't suck you in because it can't. Your brain literally isn't being fooled. If anything it's being confused.
tl;dr: The art designers shot this game in the head before it even had a chance.

>>339832991
Makes sense. In all honesty I haven't played a lot of mobas
And discounting 20 min of LoL,
BB is my first that I've actually enjoyed.
What is the necessary mindset to play this game well? I get that even though it is an fps, to not treat it like RNG, to stick to your mates and not be an idiot. But aside from ISIC, I just can't seem to do Jack Shit in a match.
How do?
>>339833318
He was right. Just participatin In my own thread.
>>339833342
Depends on character. I play mostly the ranged/melee hybrids like sna and with them you just focus on being annoying as hell and going in hard if they get low / let their guard down.
Ok first off, you >>339832137 stop being retarded.
And you >>339831873, also stop being retarded. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+long+is+an+aeon%3F

Checkmate, Blizzard
Game was fun. Liked the loot mechanic and the characters were alright. A little too Borderlands at times but certainly has more content than Overwatch. I only played the robo butler because I thought he had a revolver and was sad to find out he didn't. Would buy it for twenty. Shame Overwatch had far better marketing and a much better UI. Maps in Battleborn are kind of a mess, too.
>>339833587
Clearly, which means it's not samefagging nigger

BLIZZARD IS OVER
>>339831428
Holy fuck thats cliche and gay as fuck.
Doesnt surprise me coming from gearbox.
You also sound like a retarded fucking kid, get the fuck out.
>>339833636
Seems like a solid strat to me. Any tips of gear loadouts?
With ISIC I usually spec shields and attack speed. To get that charge faster.
I've played SnA a bit but can't seem to find that rhythm.
But then again I don't have too many options available being rank 7.
>he unironically bought Battlememe
>>339833342
-Killing minions is important, as they increase offensive pressure (they may not do much damage, but they can distract enemies and block fire)
-Don't get greedy
-Don't get fussed about early-game deaths.
>>339834765
Thanks m8. I'll keep that in mind
>>339834016
On most characters I prefer hp to shields because shield pen is pretty common, although the most powerful/efficient option is normally the one you should take. On SnA I actually do prioritize shields though because they regen them very quickly and often.
When looking at price think about when your character has their powerspikes. If they spike late use cheap gear to get them over the hurdle and give you more time to buy buildables for xp. If they fall off expensive but powerful gear is good to keep you relevant. SnA have a weird spike where they're strong early then fall off once everyone gets their ults because hers sucks until level 10 when it becomes amazing, so I mainly use cheap gear but have one really strong legendary piece that I use to try and offset the time when I'm weak.
>>339830259
>the right kind of crazy, like heath ledger joker crazy.
I agree, he's intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
>>339831634
Didn't say he was a nihilist, used it more as an example of what kind of personal ideology I meant.
