BLUNDER OF THE DECADE
Gearbox deserved this, fuck them. Keep pandering to agendas see where it gets you
>>342368345
At this point they should start trying to reclaim their losses by making it F2P, despite how cancerous I think the practice is.
I genuinely hope Gearbox dies. They're bottom of the barrel devs.
>>342369024
I have seen this idea bounced around but how practical is it really? How long would it take Gearbox to even break even if it went f2p, especially with the terrible player count.

What's the problem with the gameplay?
>>342368345
Yes, yes. Well done Gearbox, well done Gearbox.
HOWEVER
>>342371884
Honestly if they had waited several months after Overwatch's release they would maybe have a larger playerbase
>>342368345
At least it is better than Overwatch
>>342370825
That really really wasn't funny.
Also, that quality character design. I guess I might be biased because I play OW and not BB, but those character designs are just not appealing at all.
>>342372206
The problem with that was Blizzard moving the date of OW's beta to BB's release date. It's not like they could just move the release date willy nilly.
>>342370825
Ahh, the classic edgy deadpan yet upbeat delivery. Fr*aking hilarious.
>>342368345
I just listened to BB streamer try to justify why he thought BB is better than Overwatch, and he got really salty when I said the game was dead.
BB players are not only Gearbox cocksuckers, but they're also completely delusional.
>HURR BB HAS MORE CONTENT
It's like they've never heard of quality over quantity.

What a stupid move to go and try to compete with Blizzard.
I hate Blizz but that is just stupid, Blizz can just pull out a turd and everybody will buy it.
>>342369367
How long do you think it's gonna take them to break even with sales? Cause let me tell you one thing, nobody's gonna pay a cent for the game at this point. Though if you milk the loyal ten people left still playing this for a couple grand a piece, and get another two or three guys playing cause they check it out once it's free and find themselves spending a bit on cash shop stuff too, that's probably the more profitable thing.
Anyway, not that we have concrete numbers but based on the statement that BB cost more than Borderlands 1 & 2 combined (which means it's more than ~55 million bucks, advertising not included) and that according to an recent statement BB sold just a slightly better than Borderlands 1, which got ~2m copies in the first months... and that a game can easily need a million in sales for every 5m of development budget (I remember that one gaminginsiders article where it says it can go up to 1m sales / 10m budget), basically, even with generous estimations, the chances that this ever turns out a profit are nil.
Sooo might as well experiment, eh. I can see this go f2p. Wouldn't play it either way but I can imagine it.
>>342372862

>>342372797
What did he say when you said that to him?
>>342372672
Battleborn had already had a demo out by then, and was generally getting tepid-to-bad reactions to it.
>>342370128
And half of them are viewbots.
>>342370825
At least it's better than nothing
>>342373431
Wrong game.
>>342373289
Just that the game was "clearly still alive" and that everyone has their opinion in a really defensive way.
I don't know how people think that just being able to play a game online means it's alive and not on life-support at the most.
People seem to think just being able to play something doesn't meant the community is fucking gone. There's a reason only salty, no-name autists on twitch stream it.
>>342373006
B-but he just keep talking and talking...OMG that voice.
>>342373095
>sold slighly more than 2 million
That is a much larger amount than I ever could have thought. I thought the key issue was exposure but if it sold that much and has this few players then ya, it sounds like it actually is beyond saving. Attachment per user is legit garbage it looks.
I don't even know what this is.
>>342372887
>Hell's highway was just as bad as borderlands
You're a real contrarian. The story was solid, gameplay fine (They did make you more capable which I the reason for some complaints), and graphics still look good. BiA was never a deep game, the story is why people played
>>342373567
The voice is the best part. There's something with the delivery and the lines that just work perfectly together.
Usually, I cringe at a lot of gearbox writing. But the way they are delivered kills me every time.
He doesn't deserve to die with this game.
Did anything ever come of that rumor that Battleborn wasn't really closing out whenever people and logging hours played when they weren't even supposed to be "in-game"?
>>342370825
>4th second
>badass
just why
>>342373887
I don't think it's a rumor. I have a lot of hours played even though I definitely don't think I've played that long. Allegedly I have 49 hours played but that doesn't sound correct to me at all. I play Overwatch far more often and I don't even have that long in it.
>>342373095
>according to an recent statement BB sold just a slightly better than Borderlands 1
Shame there isn't a Steamspy equivalent for the consoles.
>>342373095
>>342373580
Miswrote that, 1m sales to break even with a budget from 10m to 20m rather, I can't math.
But yeah, it still sold quite a lot more than I would have thought too, still, when you look at the budget and the laughably low player counts now, you can tell this is a financial trainwreck.

Not him but I knew this game sold copies. But how many are still playing across all platforms? How many copies were refunded/returned? I feel like of you were in the market for BB you would also be in it for overwatch. And overwatch is a huge success
>>342373861

ET for the Atari
>>342375228
I know you are memeing, but sometimes I get the feeling that there was a good game tucked away, and it was 60 percent of the way done. Then Randy or some other gearbox fuck popped his head in and went something like this.
>Hey guys, how's it going? Game's looking pretty great, forgot it was here.
>But man, you know, these designs could be a little CUHRAZZZIIEERRR don't you think?
>and don't forget NO waifus! We hear at gearbox don't believe in that.

It's kind of a disappointment, really.

>>342375772
humor and waifus dont necessarily make a good game. From what I've seen the gameplay of battleborn looks bad, and not even in a so bad its good sorta way.
>>342377205
>humor and waifus dont necessarily make a good game
battleborn doesn't have that
>>342377205
I had no problems with the PvP gameplay honestly. It's pretty fun, especially when you get an actually coordinated team.
PvE is boring as hell though, and you have to slog through it to unlock most of the characters.
>>342377205
The previous gen and the current one didn't teach you that no one cares about gameplay? It's all about the characters and/or story.
>>342376953
SHUT UP!!
>>342368345
You have to stop advertising for Stillborn at some point.
>>342377205
Gameplay-wise, it does some good stuff, and does some bad stuff. I like the moba-gameplay myself, because all of the characters feel unique, and you can get some creative builds going. I really hate your usual ASSFAGOTS, but I like some of the elements. (Hence why I fell in love with Awesomenauts.) I like some of the emphasis on melee characters (even though they can clear a path no problem.)
What I DISLIKE as of late is a lack of balance, and how easy it is to get a shitty team that has no idea what they are doing vs a team of level 100's since the matchmaking is so dead. As I pointed out earlier, melee characters can wipe the floor after a certain point. Same with characters like caldarius which can just ground pound your ass. There's also a few useless characters, and a few characters that are way too bullet spongey for what they are. (Ninja shroom is way tough to kill for a healer.)
As I said, there's a good game underneath the gearbox trash, but gearbox can't market and gearbox can't really do anything right. So it will fade away.
>>342370825
Why are they so slow?
>>342375772
You can't just intentionally create a waifu, especially not Gearbox.
Hell they accidently created a husbando and that was never their intention.
>>342374287
While watching a Battleborn video one time I came to the conclusion that Gearbox's target audience is literal children. Maybe 13-year old males.
>>342377897
it won't do them any good

I just meant he's only a story element if you make him one. Otherwise he just sits around rotting after you pick a side. Which is still kinda retarded because I guess the same can be said about a lot of characters, but eh.

Not him but im enjoying MN9 and its only 20 bucks so whatever. 4 millions not even a lot by todays standards for a game. It was probably less because of kickstarters cut of it.
I honestly wouldn't have known about Battleborn if it wans't for you guys shitting on it.

Has Randy posted anything yet?

It is bad. Very bad considering it's a new game heavily based around multiplayer. There are several multiplayer based games that came out years ago that are still heavily populated.

The bigger problem is that in order to get queue timed down to 10 ish min from the usual 30+ they had to loosen the matching making which made 90% of matches wildly unbalanced.
