That phrase loses its meaning when you rely on it as a crutch to explain how you want your players to feel powerful playing as these characters.

It's also just overused and tired at this point anyways so them going all out on calling everything badass just seems like an attempt at being "cool" and "down" with the youth of today.

it's amazing to me that people still don't get this simple concept. just because a small, but insanely vocal group of people bitches non stop about things doesn't mean you have to capitulate to them. plus it does nothing. I mean, battleborn is a perfect example. if the game itself had actually looked and been any good, then people would have played it and either not cared or been pleasantly surprised to find it was all about "badass women" but instead, they made a shit game and so people didn't play it because it was shit.

Overwatch is about "badass" women as well. So why bother with Battleborn?

sure, it definitely didn't help that overwatch was a vastly superior game marketed by people who knew how to sell it to gamers, but that's like saying that whatever movies that are actually good coming out around the same time as the new ghostbusters abortion will be the reason that it does poorly. it will do poorly because it looks like shit and they have alienated the true fans in favor of the vocal minority. battleborn was just a shit looking game from the start, so it got way less play.

What part of it was focusing on the "badass" women?

All I remember was you and a band of special snowflakes go to stop big bad guy and his big bad guy plans. The story doesn't do anything other than have a reason for the people to be in the same place and to have the story missions for people to item grind if they wanted to.

In Borderlands 1 it was an adjective used to denote elite enemies, a Psycho was a trash mob, but a Badass Psycho was a hulking tank. They were usually giant, deformed and had glowing blue eyes. It was a nice way of knowing that what you were facing was tough, the word wasn't used anywhere else.

Problem was after the first game the tone of the series changed drastically, and instead of being humorous in a cynical, dark way they went the method of being loud and shouty and "lol so randumb". "Badass" became the the word to describe the game in all he marketing and it leaked into the story as well.

Then it moved from a borderlands thing to a Gearbox thing. I fuckimg hate what happened to Borderlands after 1, they had something great and took it in all the wrong directions.

Regardless of that fact, its discussion was still welcome here on account of being a pleasant game. Same guy could have made Battleborn and spammed it here and would have been just as shit.

It wasn't a "nice" anything. Badass is a term used by children in pre-school.

The word you yourself used, hulking, would have been a lot more fitting and it wouldn't have come across as the cringecore badass does.

Today are huge MATCHMAKING CHANGES

https://battleborn.com/en/news/view/en-matchmaking-changes/

I am so hyped.

I will probably only choose COMPETITIVE PLAY or SPOTLIGHT BATTLES because I never had to wait long for matches (mostly under 1 minute) and you get better rewards than for the CASUAL PLAY.

Overwatch ranked is a disaster. It is not fun, it is just garbage. I hope Battleborn's new match making system will prevent the 50/50 bullshit of Overwatch matches.
>>
>>343274560
They bought into a meme and are being "rewarded" accordingly.

My only disappointed is that it's impossible for EA to get punished for their feminist pandering, because like everything EA does it's so superficial and insincere that there's no way for it to come back and bite them. Like everything they do it's buried in a thick layer of mediocrity and then wrapped in gold foil.

Battleborn is what cartoony over designed crap as Halo 5 is to "realistic" over designed crap.

At some point you have to stop drawing the cartoon, but Gearbox is as subtle as the sjws it panders to.

This is a hell of a call back but the game looks like an old sixth gen launch title Cel Damage mixed with Borderlands, run through a team of professional 14 year old deviant art users for final touch ups and blammo you have something as visually appealing as getting fucked to death via your eye sockets.

The only real entertainment you can have from Battleborn at this point is the entertainment that comes for free by sitting back, and watching the fire.

A fun thing about battleborn is that being able to load into a game first means you get first pick of any character rather than them making it equal for everyone in the match.
