Dont forget that the game artificially inflates steam hours by keeping you in the game long after youve left (and shut the computer off, so its not an EXE running in the background), so those 900 players might actually be closer to 200-300.

Gearbox forums attract the worst kind of people, it's basically a cult.

Borderlands 1 community was really good, but 2's popularity brought in a heap of people who's way of looking at things is incomprehensible to me.

If people are willing to trawl through the threads over there you will find some golden bait images. There's a few people (this was pre-beta) getting excited about the fact they would be spending additional money on the game through DLC.

Before it came out, before anyone had even played it, people were getting excited about "I hope they add X as DLC" and literally defending pay to win (I'm going to try track this one down, the guy was saying how he had no problem with paying for gameplay advantages because it's totally fair, anyone has the option to pay)

>Battleborn is recording hours played even when game is not on

>Okay, so. I went to sleep. I wake up to see Battleborn have 8 more hours played. It's at 116 hours when I woke up. Last time I played, the hours were at 108 hours played. Steam was offline, I checked it through mobile, so nobody accessed my steam account and I don't family share. Basically, it keeps clocking in hours even when I'm playing another game, hell, even when I'm offline and the computers off. Now it's at 130 hours and I haven't played since.

While competition is good for the industry, I agree. Blizzard has hyped this game up for what? A year? Longer? And then they put the beta on the Battleborn release date.

What they should have done was do the Batman vs. Superman.

Just release it quickly or move like a fucking leaf in the wind and vanish from this face of the earth for 6 months until people want 'more Overwatch' and Blizzard's slow as fuck update rate won't deliver and then release.

This is the reason I can't be imerrsed in any Gearbox games. You can hear the faggots in the gearbox writer's room jabbing you with their elbow constantly trying to get a giggle.

You're supposed to draw people into the world for the purposes of escapism, not constantly remind them they're playing a game written by 40 somethings trying to be young and hip.

The sad truth is that not even the 1000~ people running the game are playing it, they're all waiting in 25+ minute long queues. The game is apparently alive on consoles, but then again I think the only reason we're hearing that is because we don't have access to stats like steam does.

If Gearbox doesn't get someone willing to fund BL3 for them, this game could legitimately kill them.

Because it's an extremely unappealing game to me. I would hate for the game to become a trend-setter through its success. Seeing it fail gives me hope for the direction of mainstream games.

Though maybe it shouldn't, since as others have pointed out, poor marketing is probably a big factor. I hadn't even heard of the game until Totalbiscuit.

Ever since it got out how much of a piece of shit dev Gearbox is, let alone its CEO, people enjoy watching them bumble and stumble their way around.

It got pretty bad when it came out they stole money from Sega with Aliens Colonial Marines and used it to keep developing Borderlands 2. Gearbox deserves all the shit they get.

This is painfully spot on.

I really never understood the fanbase. Even back when BL was shilled on here, I tried it on my roommate's console and this dialogue was all over the game. None of it was funny, it was all dated 4 years from back when that hyper ironic shit was still funny.

And then really the game itself sucked. MILLIONS OF GUNS. Which you used the one blue drop and trashed all the other trash guns you picked up. The RPG elements kinda borked the FPS shit. It looks like you can travel around, but your guns not able to kill certain shit in certain high level areas railroaded you into where to go. Which isn't bad, but then why even give me the option?

Game was forgettable. Played it 6 hours with my roommate one night and then we literally had forgotten about it the next day.

Haven't touched Gearbox shit since. Gearbox feels like that uglier girl who wants to hang out in the clique of uncouth boys, but her placement of the clique's inside jokes is cringey as fuck.

I know I may be called a Blizzshill, but I honestly think Blizzard hates SJWs and probably shit talk them behind close doors at meetings. Felt this way since that one dev said "who cares?" when addressed about their games having attractive females and they gave a half assed apology to the SJWs.

Zarya has become the "standing still, their vision is movement based" to the sjw T Rex.

>sjws bitch about beauty standards being unachievable by 99% of women
>OW is full of big assed, fit waifus, but SJWs don't notice because Zarya exists and they applaud her

Really her being a robo racist is just icing on the cake. SJWs confirmed for shallow dipshits.

The Remastered Collection is pretty good. It wasn't as close to the original HW as it had some things that didn't work like before, but much of the code was LOST and emulated. Then, a gigantic patch struck yesterday fixing these issues to resemble the old game, after a year of release. It's been a titanic work of love for the franchise, but i'm almost certain it wasn't coming from GB heart.

Battleborn failed because it looks like a Smite clone with an awful aesthetic, and with gameplay that doesn't do anything better than either Smite or Overwatch.

Battleborn looks like a kid's game, it's virtually indistinguishable between Skylanders or Knack to my adult eyes.
And it doesn't help that it's apparently being marketed by a team of 16 year olds.

Not my intention, scaling sucks, I just didn't understand the mechanic direction of BL. Getting cockblocked in a RPG is fine, but in a shooter it felt odd. And then BURYING the player in shitty stat guns while only a very few were worth a shit was also lackluster.

All in all the game was not smooth, witty, and the only thing unique about its gameplay was how it uniquely meshed different genres in a terrible manner.

Was a snooze. Maybe it's a younger person thing, I just could not get into it.
>>
>>340639827
You must remember Blizzard is an enormous company with a ton of employees. Saying Blizzard hates this group or agrees with this or that idea is silly. Even among the people who have decision-making authority, I find it likely there are enough people to cover a variety of beliefs on things.

But I agree with your general idea that there's no SJW-ish intent overall there. Which makes sense because the SJW mentality is quite rare other than certain, very specific circles of very specific websites.
>>
>>340639349
have you played both? Battleborn does nothing spectacularly well while also being in one of the most saturated genres with little to no appeal. Overwatch is much easier to get into and much less intimidating so that new players join in and can function well because of how strong abilities can be. Noobs can get kills, this helps their morale and keeps them happy while in depth team composition ensures that skill and strategy is still needed for high rated matches. Overwatches combat feels much better and is the more enjoyable game.

Overwatch is also fast paced, pick up and go; no dedication needed while battleborn looks slow with long matches of people shit posting at eachother like in mobas. If the shooting didn't feel shitty and the game was better overall there would be no problem and it would have a healthy population for at least a year depending on what is done with it. Overwatch is solid while Battleborn is mediocre.

People looking for a fun shooter found that(during the free beta) Overwatch was simply more fun because the genre itself is also more fun than MOBAs. MOBAs aren't enjoyable unless you're with friends and even then it can just become frustration.

This, but also with cards. You build your deck before the game, and each character has a Hyper card unique to them. You draw cards by landing on a card draw space.

I don't think it has anything you'd consier an RPG element, no.

>>
>>340640321

basically

you have stats and you fight (through dice rolls). You can also use cards, with each character having a specific "hyper" card just for them.

You basically go around the map either trying to rack up a lot of stars or wins and try to keep everyone else from getting the same.

Kind of sad. Its a decent game marred by a fuck ton of bad decisions and priced way to high for what it was.

>Barely any marketing and what little it had was talking shit to Overwatch so people began to compare the two.
>Over-abundance of particle effects makes it difficult for people to understand whats going on
After you play for a little bit you can pretty much understand all the effects going off, but a lot of abilities are needlessly flashy. Characters like Melka and Kleese have basic abilities that are quite clean , but then you have characters like Alani who covers the entire lane in water effects that hide what the fuck she's actually doing.
>UI
I don't honestly find it that bad (yes I've seen images that get posted here). The issue comes from the FOV having 1/3 taken up by your gun. Playing a big character, I've often died because I can't fucking see someone stabbing my ankle
>Issues way back in beta still there on release.
Honestly if the game held back like a month to tighten things up and let the Overwatch hype die down a bit it probably would have done a lot better. On release Marquis the sniper could still snipe your sentry from the safety of his base. Galilea was still hugely overpowered. Destroying the first sentry STILL caused a snowball effect that made it almost impossible to come back. All these issues are fixed now, but first-impressions are everything these days.

In the end it came to fill this weird niche that wasn't really in demand, competing with other games that are f2p. Its only hope of survival honestly is just going f2p and trying to jew people with cosmetics.
