So what you're saying is that it only have 470 players anyway.
>>
>>342330685
Popular =/= good, and conversely unpopular =/= bad. The reason for the disparity in player numbers is that it hasn't been watered down to blandly appeal to the masses, unlike certain other games that get posted on /v/ ad nauseam.

It's like the difference between a fine microbrew, and Bud Light.
>>
Gearbox pissed off the publishers with their sleazy money management antics, and pissed off the players with their sleazy SJW douche Anthony Burch, so they're left hated by both sides of the industry. And then they were stupid enough to try to release a game when Activision-Blizzard marketing was in FULL force for Overwatch's release.

Because american marketing is stuck with paradigms from the 90s

Consumerism has evolved so fast, thanks to the internet and mobile devices, schools and publicity business are behind the current trends.

Regarding videogame merch we went from the "cool in the 80's" to the "rad and badass in the 90's" but the next 15 years have been a complete mess. Kids want to be different, but kids also want to use popular products, kids don't give a fuck about the games themselves, but they care about owning certain brands and the latest console. Previously you could slap Mickey's face or any other disney character on everything and it would sell (KH). Before you couldn't sell 10 hours games because people would complain and rent said games, nowadays people don't like long games and want to finish a campaign with ultra realistic graphics or play a quick arena match and forget about videogames until the next day.

Japan has always maintained their wacky side on advertisement and that is timeless, but the history of american advertisement has always been reliant on capturing the latest trends and bombarding teens with desires of things they don't need via sabotage mechanics, celebrity endorsements, or wow factors.

There has been so much focus on the mobile and internet industry, the actual advertisement trends have been neglected and no one seems to care, so you end up with cringy commercials and nonsensical things like the "splatatatatatatoon" or "badass" commercials adds that alienate actual teenagers and don't really have a target audience anymore.

Or how stiff the competition was; Blizzard literally waited until after BB's release date announcement to have their free beta overlap.

Or how poor the marketing was; BB was competing for mindspace with with Overwatch, Doom, and TW:Warhammer, and didn't beat the flash those showed.

I don't want every game to look realistic, but it's starting to look like an excuse not to do competitive, high-polycount modern 3D. Ayyliens: Colon Martini looked budget as fuck too, which leads me to believe Gearbox isn't really up to modern vidya art's standards

I don't know, I had more fun playing it than Overwatch, and was planning on buying it eventually (maybe this next sale). To me it's probably the best interpretation of an FPS moba that we've had in recent years. (I never played SMNC or MNC). Maybe the WC3 dota mod for CS or Savage 1 and 2, but that's it. There were some issues with the UI and performance but I geniunely enjoyed the game, and loved the co-op mission I played.

Gearbox probably already recouped all their expenses on the game, everything else is just pure profit at this point.

I liked the first Borderlands, for their shoot-and-loot gameplay and the look as well. Never played the followups.
What is wrong with Battleborn's design? Mind you, I am a software engineer, not an artist, but even I can fucking see that these screenshots are revolting, color combination wise. The models remind me of this:

you see, I was curse at birth, that any online multiplayer game that i play a beta for. is destin to die. specifically, the ones i like to play

I play Dawngate, and really liked it. and EA shut it down.
Then played some Infinite crisis, and it was ok, I use to play it from time to time. and it got shut down.
Then I loved Nosgoth, It was fantastic for just being a spin off Legacy of Kain. And it was shut down.

and sadly, I played Battleborn beta, maybe if I did not try the beta, the game could have survive...

Im sorry....

But this time... could be a light at the end... this isnt shut down yet, so We need a come back. something to remind people that this game exist. And that it can be really fun and unique

So I can end with this curse of mine

i have to hand it to blizzard. they are masters of kikery. and their fans lick it up.

wow: full retail, full retail expansions, monthly sub, cash shop. no one complains

dota: p2w moba shit

hearthstone: a digital CCG. nuff said

overwatch: full retail, mostly copied of TF2 with massive aim assists and auto targeting. also moba elements. has a cash shop for buying skins which people are literally spending thousands of euros a day on

most of their games are poorly balanced despite being desinged for competition and that not good anyway. and are very frequently copies of other, better, games

their marketing department is actually the stuff of legend. not even the trickster gods of ancient mythology could have pulled off some shit like this. i dont play any of those games or the ones theyre copied from so i have no skin in the game. i just admire their racket. its very impressive

they are not in any way similar outside being first person and having character specific abilities.

OW is fast and polished
battleborn is slow and clunky

BB matches last anywhere from twice to four times as long as OW matches. the people who like long form pvp (ie mobas) already play dota/lol/smite and dont give a fuck. the people who like shooting shit dont like long matches, generally speaking.

also gearbox are fucking awful and have shit the bed far too many times. fuck them and fuck randy.

The memester developer happened. The Borderlands series had memes, but there were also gloriously dark or comedic moments.

Stillborn was just stale meme after stale meme. You'd think they were reading 4chan archives from 2011. That and personally I thought the graphics were pretty shit. I wasn't expecting Crysis tier, but the UI... ugh, I don't even know how to describe it.

I don't know why this lie is constantly repeated here and on Reddit. Gearbox announced Battleborn first; started developing it first; and announced its release date first. It was Blizzard that set their open beta date to sabotage Battleborn's release.

I feel patronised by Overwatch, it thinks I'm stupid. It believes I want a fictional 'waifu,' and that I'm actually going to be racist, sexist, and generally just a horrible and not particularly intelligent person. But that's not me. I am intelligent. I don't even like to think of myself as of above average intelligence, but I am at least that. So I can't abide by Overwatch's brain rot. I really can't. I'm not stupid enough for it.

Battleborn treats me with respect. It has brilliantly intelligent jokes (The Algorithm is one, long skit in and of itself, and perhaps hands-down the best satire of the Simulated Reality theory I have ever seen), nifty humour, great dialogue, as well as a diverse, charismatic, and sometimes quite deep cast of characters.


It's brilliant, and there's so many moments where it's caught me off guard. Such as ISIC yelling my name in the middle of The Algorithm. Which resulted very much in 'oh, eff you, ISIC' as I'm easily startled. It was great, though. That's a brilliant joke to pull if you can get it right.

Ultimately, Battleborn is clever, and Gearbox thinks I'm clever enough to appreciate their clever. Thanks Gearbox!

Now, I could either have a game that's so diverse, characterful, charismatic, and has more of an identity and a personality than so many others from this year or however many prior... Or instead I could play Street Fighter II with guns and far less diversity. I feel that Battleborn is as intelligent and respectful as Overwatch is air-headed and patronising.

I think the funniest irony is in the statement "I have to hand it to Blizzard, they are the masters of kikery" being in a fucking Gearbox vs Blizzard thread. Gearbox jewed up their game to the highest extent possible.

>full sixty dollar release with a twenty dollar season pass (with no garauntee on content, I'm betting it'll be very slim like Borderlands:TPS was)
>Slashed price by twenty dollars almost immediately after release, infuriating all the early adopters
>You only start with SEVEN characters, with significant grinding required to unlock all twenty-five
>Microtransaction cosmetics, that can ONLY be bought with cash, that not only screws over the Deluxe Edition buyers (since their extra points are useless for cosmetics) but screws over everyone since you can't even preview the skins, reason being Gearbox doesn't want people to realize that they're just lazy pallet swaps since no one would buy them
