Is this the Wildstar of MOBA's?
>>342845502
But Battleborn is a fun, well made, and a successful game. Wildstar was not.

no. people still play wildstar.

And this is why TORtanic was cancer. Legions of newfriends came in, saw TORtanic threads, and kept trying to repeat it for every major game since. TORtanic wasn't even a failure; it was expensive and mediocre at best but still turned a profit.
i think the number of times ive seen battleborn shitpost threads exceeds the number of people that play the game
can u stop talking about this game faggots, thanks

It's the Scrolls of card games. Imagine if Scrolls was F2P. Guarantee it would still be alive. But it had to have a P2P system and got buttfucked when Hearthstone beta came out
>>342845661
>and a successful game
Even Wildstar did better than it. WILDSTAR
>>342845502
It sure is. NCSoft and Gearbox are both awful developers.
>>342845502
No. The Wildstar players stuck for more than 3 hours.
>>342846591
Scrolls was such an enjoyable game, shame Mojang fucked it up then killed it. I haven't found a PC TCG I have enjoyed as much as that since.
>>342846476
Nice photoshop.
I don't understand why 4channers are so intent on slandering Battleborn and hoping it fails.
>>342847070

>>342847335
Im surprised Battleborn even made that many.
>>342847335
>digital revenue
1. Battleborn is primarily a console game, so most of its sales were physical.
2. Overwatch had the biggest marketing campaign in video game history.
Thus, one can rightly assume that net profit for both games is very similar.

The irony
>>342845502
Is Overwatch the League of Legends of FPS games?
>>342845502
I wonder what its like to get matched with the same people over and over again in matchmaking.
>>342845661
It's had 1240 players max for the past few weeks. It's found it's audience now, and it's just over 1000 players big
>>342847647
Maybe?
The new CoD preorders are around 80k units compared to Blops 3's ~800k. Not sure how BF1 will do. But if OW's 10 million player amount holds steady it might hold the top FPS spot for a while across all platforms.
>>342847784
Again, that's on PC. Steamcharts doesn't show Xbox and PS4 players which make up the vast majority of our sales and playerbase.
>>342847070

Battleborn was Gearbox's most expensive and ambitious project yet, according to Mr Randy Cuckford himself, so I bet the profit must be really low when you consider how much it probably cost to develop.

They said they expected it to unfold like Borderlands, which started off slow but picked up in the 8 months after thanks to strong word of mouth and positive reviews.
BattleBorn has none of that, because people just keep saying it's a failed Overwatch which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when sales don't pick up

it's just cheap concept art, what amazed me is they couldn't find something better, it's like they had reach the character quota and ended up picking up the first thing some artist came up with.

I can't stand Gearbox's writing. I enjoyed Borderlands greatly, but when the second game showed they just recycled the same shit I stayed away. Can't believe they still do this
Do people even want the moba mode? Did it once to unlock a char and then never touched it again. Did the story with two friends and it's a nice solid game. Hoping there is still dlc coming for it. This is not the game for competitive mp though, but that was always apparent. If you didn't buy it for the story mode you clearly didn't do your research.
>>342852348
And it isn't a recent thing either.
>"After all, you can't go wrong with a badass shooter."
That's from the Aliens: Colonial Marines lawsuit. Randy has been pushing "badass shooter" for over a decade now.
>>342851838
The beta was only on PC iirc
>>342852336
The robots cool.
>>342852603
The moba mode was literally the only thing it had going for it. Story mode seems like just the moba mode but made for NPCs.
>>342852660
Overwatch's? No it wasn't.
>>342850695
Randy, please... I'm sorry. I just need a little more time. I'll have at least 6 sales by the end of the day

Morning After Kill speculated months ago Battleborn was just to test shit for Borderlands 3, like different classes, ideas, features, etc.
>>342852336
Despite being the penguin of d00m, that is still one of the better designs.
>>342852603
I'm not against the MOBA modes. I actually think they're a neat idea. But they should be used to compliment other game modes. Battleborn literally only has 2 MOBA maps and 2 capture the point maps. Plus their characters and balance are mediocre at best.
A MOBA mode would work for Overwatch or TF2 where it can be used as part of the current map rotations and where most of the rest of the game and characters are balanced.
>>342845502
>Is this the Wildstar of MOBA's?
People at least asked for Wildstar. They weren't many, but at least some asked for a hardcore mmo like back in the day.
Nobody asked for Battleborn.
>>342852896
And yet it was their highest budget game with no sales even after a 50% price cut. They can't make Borderlands 3 now.
>>342852896
>>342853080
I understand wanting to make a new IP, but at the same time people have been wanting a Borderlands 3. Say what you will about the writing, because it's ass, but at least you know people wanted it.
>>342853187
>They can't make Borderlands 3 now
You're a retard
>>342852979
Adding moba modes doesn't work I think. Moba as a genre needs careful planning and most probably has to have games in their own right instead of tacking them onto other games. Especially if it concerns fps or tps types like Paragon, there is too much rebalancing for a studio like gearbox to keep up with.
>>342853235
Not as much as Gearbox
>>342853223
Handsome Jack is written pretty well.
Pandora turned into a trash heap/meme planet and that kind of fits the aesthetic of the planet. It's a backwater junkyard full of mentally retarded people and bandits with no education.
Burch is no longer really writing, though, so Borderlands 3 has a new writer that did Borderlands 1.
>>342853187
They already announced they're doing it, as soon as they got the news that Battleborn flopped hard. It's the only thing they can do to get back the money they lost on Cuckborn, with relatively low effort necessary.
Get ready for Borderlands 2.8, this time with 200% more memes and 500 BAZILLION BADASSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>342845661
>and a successful game
then why is dead as hell on Steam AND got slapped with a $20 price cut around A MONTH after it's release
>>342853393
Borderlands 3 isn't going to 2.8
They stated it's going to be massive and unlike the previous 2 games.
>>342851879
That seems like a ripoff of Hellboy and Wolverine.
>>342853589
I've heard rumors it's going to be more MMORPG-like and set in space.
>>342852336
The robot looks okay, but the name and concept are fucking terrible.
>>342853448
Overwatch is a special case entirely. They made this really cool Pixar looking hero team with a nice story for a competitive fps. Makes no sense at all. I love Overwatch but it really needs a story mode too.
>>342853589
We'll see.
It's still going to be ridden with *le epik random badass memes!!* and bulletspongy enemies.
I enjoyed the first and second games, but I'm sure it was just because I played it with a full group of friends, because if you don't have other people to joke around with while playing it, the game on itself is disgustingly bad.
>>342853589
I can almost guarantee that they will be trying very hard with whatever the new borderlands is to appeal to the overwatch crowd
They're gonna go full fucking force on the waifus but mess it up with their usual shit
>>342849835
I thought I fought that in a JRPG
>>342853757
Agreed.
I would pay cash money dollars for a story mode/campaign for each character. Although I don't know how it would work. I don't think they could do a single player campaign since so much of the game relies on team mix. Unless they make some PvE/Co-op campaign but I don't think that would be enough to flesh out each character.
>>342853757
The premise they give it doesn't make sense either.
at least wildstar was fun for even a second before it died
>>342854293
It would probably get extremely boring if there was no progression or something of the sort. Imagine playing a full campaign with the same weapon and abilities. Even COD always had some sort of thing to mix things up, even if it is just as simple as picking up a different gun.
>>342854293
They could do some pve stuff still
Like overwatch goes on a mission to the moon to deal with all the super gorillas that are still up there
Or they could do something with doomfist
>>342845661
>>342846186
>>342847070
>>342847525
>>342848619
>>342854493
The mp focus gimps abilities. Look at Pharah, her suit could be upgradedable akin to Samus in a story mode. Symmetra is literally Green Lantern yet she only makes turrets.
>>342854293
I really want somekind of junkrat/roadhog storymode that showcases their various misadventures
>>342854538
It looks like they're just setting up Doomfist to be a future hero, but it would be cool if they turned it into a game mode. Something like the teams competing to keep and hold the Doomfist gauntlet for a set amount of time, sort of like oddball from Halo.
>>342851879
>>342848482
I don't understand these. Are they at a weird perspective or are parts of the characters deformed?
>>342854797
I can see it working like Starcraft 2, where you can do researches and shit to upgrade your stuff, I just don't think it would fit well with the way things work with the multiplayer. Or perhaps you could play your own hero, maybe even design it, select base weapons and abilities and upgrade them, that way they don't need to create over 20 different campaigns.
>>342854989
Thatd be neat, they could just make it the weekly brawl the week before he comes into the game to hype him up

>>342855710
>Guys we talk more about battleborn than actual dedicated battleborn forums
Like that's an accomplishment
>>342855710
Maybe it's all according to plan. Battleborn is a marketing technique for Overwatch. Gearbox never existed, it was all a ruse.
>>342855492
I'm not sure if that would really fit Overwatch. The main grab is the heroes themselves and switching between them, and if they're interchangeable then it becomes pointless, specially when they have very defined roles.
I think playing like a custom faceless hero, along with the existing roster, like a new Overwatch/Talon recruit or something, would be a really neat way to do a single player campaign, use all heroes, show more of the world, and actually be something different and cool instead of tacked on co-op missions or whatever.

>>342859082
Wasn't trying to shitpost, Battleborn's universe and characters are legitimately pretty deep and surprisingly very interconnected. One of my favorites is learning that Caldarius' suit can be changed to accommodate different species. As for Montana, I haven't played him very much so I haven't unlocked any of his lore.
