obviously its the comparisons to overwatch that it doesnt deserve.

That atrocious art design, for one.

Who the fuck thought any of the characters looked aesthetically pleasing to anyone?

hey guys, let's make a mediocre FPS, not advertise it at all, AND release it at the same time as a hyped up better FPS game
>>
I honestly had no idea this even existed and when it popped up it just looked like a cheap Overwatch clone, so bad marketing maybe?
But I think it also tries to aim at a demographic that doesn't really exist. People who play ASSFAGGOTS will continue playing their shitty LoL or DotA and shooter fags either play CoD, CS:GO or singleplay stuff.
I don't know who they're appealing to with this. You could say the same about Overwatch but they have the huge Blizzard name behind them which already guarantees them millions of copies sold.

GamerGate fascists slandered and killed the game, just because they took inspiration from a brave women developer to model one of their characters

Didn't OW move their release date to BB's?

But then again, BB could've delayed theirs in response.

Ever get the idea it was targeted towards console plebs who wanted to hop on the moba wagon while also getting more memelands? Of course it's bombing on PC. Gearbox has been quiet on sales and the price cut is pretty indicative of awful sales, but who the fuck was going to pay $60 or even $40 to tread over gameplay they've had in at least 3 other f2p games on PC?

Other than the fact his entire face minus the ears are the fucking same, i completely agree with you m8

It was stillborn

>>339833395
I know this is just jokes anon but please don't post that image again. It made me physically ill in the stomach looking at someone mentally ill. Why would anyone ever enable this.
>>
>>339833743
OW scheduled an open beta a few days after battleborn released. There was a massive drop in players for battleborn on the first day, but it returned to normal the next.
>>
Is it good though?

I mean, for $20 it sounds like it might actually be a decent deal.
>>
>>339834291
It was reduced BY $20 and as far as I know the offers over already.
>>
>>339832837
You can play PvP and PvE completely offline, so the player base doesn't even matter.

Battleborn is great, but the Overshilling is just retarded now.

I blocked everything which has Overwatch in its title and now the shills just want to shill through name shaming on Battleborn, disgusting!
>>
Well at least they will get their money back with Borderlands 3

>>339834492

oh, never mind them.

There's billions and trillions of games

All of them bad except for 200

Why the fuck would this not be a bad game? Who would buy this shit except for retards?

Who is buying this thinking this will be fun except for people who are both retarded AND hate popular things, AND can't do any amount of research?

>What went wrong?

The real question is, what could have possibly gone right?
>>
Haven't seen a game fail this hard in some time.
