What went wrong?
Game looks like shit and tried to compete with Overwatch
You making this thread.
Fuck off do we need dozens of these threads a day? I don't even play battleborn or overwatch but we all know the story faggot.
Poorly designed single player and awful writing
>>343569176
Nothing went wrong, it's a great game.
Overwatch got to brainwash all the 12 year olds with marketing and waifu pandering so they talk shit about anything that isn't their shit game.
It's a decent game, although it could have done some things different I still think it deserves more recognition.
That being said, I still think Overwatch is a better game than Bb in terms of game mechanics.
Tf2>>>OW>Bb
I truly despise the OW fanbase.
Terrible art design.
Really, if it had better art it would have been okay and not bombed as hardor at least not as fastas it is now.
>>343570562
Is the joke is that he has a small head
It's riddled with that nu-male "hip" dad humor
>>343569938
It's nowhere near a great game.
>>343570562
>>343570891
It's okay when overwatch does it.
>>343570891
>tiny head
>stupidly bigs arms and legs
>tiny feet

seems like the character itself is a joke

Reinhardt is wearing extremely thick armor which makes his body look bigger.

What killed Battle Born is that it ended up nothing like most people were convinced it was
>Game comes out talking about huge campaign
>Large skill trees to spend on making your character of choice even more 'badass'
>Ends up being a game that looks more like a pale comparison to Overwatch
>Game's campaign is actually all online and not even that big
>Multiplayer is where its at
>MOBA-esque with interesting, but overall gaudy art style that only looks uglier when 10 people are shitting on each other
>Cringe-y lines
>Too many characters that look like OW characters
>"W-we came out first! We're Overwatch with a story so we're objectively better!"
No, BB, you should've been a Gearbox game
It died dipping way too hard trying cash in on the hype - a decision that can literally break a game's potential
>ATTENTION ALL UNITS
>FEMINISM IS AWESOME
>>343572069
is this actually in the game? is there a video of this?
>>343572069
The line could've been funny if it didn't exist in a game where the opposite of it exists and isn't played for laughs as it should be too.

i was just kidding. this is my first time in these threads. i didn't even know they were being reposted.
>>343572069
This is line is triggered when you kill a girl. Not sure what it's supposed to imply.
>>343572887
Thats great to know
>>343572954
He's glad feminism is a thing because it means he can also kill women. It's honestly a funny line, however the less-than-subtle feminism pandering also present in the game makes it just kills it.
>>343569497
>first post isn't everything
JOB. ONE.
>>343573165
>>343572954
if the line was shown in context
i.e. you kill a female character multiple times
but the problem is if you have to take the time to explain a joke
>hurr, feminism is awesome because it lets me kill females without reprecussion since everyone is equally and a valid target for bullets
then it's not a good joke
Do you think Gearbox employees are worried their CEO is spending time getting coffee with his face in it instead of trying to salvage their studio's costliest blunder?
>>343573420
This, the writing is just god awful, as is to be expected from Gearbox
>>343573420
It's pretty fucking clear to me buddy. I feel people are just too eager to cross shit as "pandering" instead of looking at it as a joke.
>hey, how do we get more sales for battleborn?
>let's make a line of fireworks!
Jesus
>Feminism is awesome
>Fat tranny nigger characters that feel shoehorned in
>Horrendous art style
>Terrible terrible humour
>Guns and combat that feels rubbish, everything feels like you are throwing pebbles at the enemies.
I actually feel sad about this game. I bought the collectors game and can see a lot of effort has gone in. At least with battleborn you get more than one mode. Oveewatch is totally bare bones.
>>343572584
Fucking based Blizzard. Say what you will about them,it'll only prove you are a faggot anyway, but Blizzard are humble and down to earth.

>>343574237
And I love it when you do.
>>343570562
How the fuck did this design get greenlit?
>>343574237
What "memes" did Blizzard add?
>>343574237
What memes are in OW? Or did you mean the ones that spawned from the fans?
remember when this happened?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmeP1YkaeTo
>>343573863
Thats borderlands.
That said, they were realy trying to push the battleborn franchise. Figures, cards, clothing, hell... they were probably in discussions for a movie and series.
It's actually embarassing how hard this game tanked
>>343574237
>gearbox adds awful memes and makes characters spout them nonstop
>people on /v/ say it's obnoxious
>blizzard acknowledges a single meme that's mot excruciatingly obnoxious on twitter with a couple tweets

>>343574460
>>343574419
Blizzard officially sanctioned gremlin d.va memes
>>343573645
Randy is just learning about making coffees in advance of his future job.
This game didn't really interest me when I first heard of it. I mean I didn't even know if its existence until the day I played the Overwatch beta. I kinda feel bad for the creators to be honest. Look how hyped everyone was. Its like seeing a dream crushed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FElmjlzdSSM
Why are Overcucks so proud that their mediocre game was better than Gearbox's pile of shit? Did everybody forget that Blizzard has produced nothing but blunders since the Activision merger and this new game is just barely passable, but only because there's no existing game by Blizzard to compare it to?
Get off your fucking high horse. You aren't better than Gearbox drones, Blizzard is worse in almost every way.
>>343571634
I actually feel bad for Bitchford.
>>343574623
>officially sanctioned gremlin d.va memes
Are you feeling alright?
>>343574237
The difference is that gearbox makes their own memes and says ISNT THIS FUNNNNNNNNNYYYYY!?!?!? While Blizzard just reacts to the fanbase.
It's a huge difference.
>>343574685
You really believe they spent "hours and hours" on this kind of characters?
>>343574475
That was a waste of 10 minutes
>>343574623
>twitter pr team playing along with fans
Wow, atrocious
When memes make it into the game then you can talk.
>>343575186
Gearbox games actually have humor in them. Everything blizzard makes is devoid of humor.
>>343574685
When you hear about the shit Gearbox is pulled, and their style of game design, you stop feeling bad
>>343575415
Last two weekly brawls were memes. But I think that's fine. Dad 76 and MercyxPharah made for some kind of fun custom games. Not sure how they could make a gremlin d.va one.
>>343575558
>unending lines of "lol so whacky" text is humor

"""""""humor""""""
People keep saying overwatch being better marketed killed it but how does it explain the huge drop in the playerbase. Those people bought the game played it then decided it wasn't worth playing anymore
>>343575205
That character actually looks good. Some of them do look like they didn't try though
>>343575746
MercyxPharah brawl was around before pharmecy was even a thing.
And the last brawl didn't mention dad?
But really brawls don't count as part of the actual game.
>>343575910
They hired DeviantArt "artists" for this, right?
>>343574685
>all units be advised! Feminism is awesome!
Glad I skipped this one.
>>343575947
76 brawl started on father's day iirc
>>343575558
Warcraft 3 had some funny jokes. I miss that.
The gameplay is slow, more so than Overwatch
The character's aren't really that fun.
And the designs are shit. I'm not even talking about waifushit, just every human looks awful, and every non-human looks overdesigned.
Like, one character is both fat, skinny, and an amputee with an oversized limb.
>>343575757
>>343575832
Newsflash millenials, people can find humor in things you don't like. You are not the arbitrators of comedy.
>>343574237
Isn't that picture suppose to be a parody of something, I caught put my finger on it.
>>343575910
>someone is getting payed for this
>>343576174
Okay well that's clearly outside of game canon.
>>343576152
Probably some tumblr artists too. All she's missing is a big red nose
>>343575910
>Please kill me it hurts to live
Gearbox is incompetent shit stain of a company
>>343575910
My god. It reminds me of Badass Goku.
Someone got a salary for creating this. How do I land that kind of a job where you just do not have to give even the onset of a fuck?
>>343569176
Did anything even go right besides Gearbox making an ass of themselves?
>>343574237
Are you telling me you never seen the movie Gremlins?
>>343575205
And don't get me started on how they put fucking Brianna Wu in the game. Jesus Christ
>>343576395
I'm pretty sure they do have tumblr people working there, because I know some personally.
>>343576545
This is the years of Karma catching up on them for slacking off on Duke Nukem Forever and stealing money from Aliens to fund Borderlands 2.
>>343576417
why does he have abdominal muscles in his arms?

That doesn't look anything like Brianna Wu you fucking idiot

DYEL?
>>343576417
But the difference is that I would play the fuck out of Badass Goku
>>343576705
It's almost like their art design is intentionally hideous. Why they think that would make people feel "badass" I have no idea.
>>343576915
Looks more like Widowmaker honestly
>>343576705
Fuck. I totally see it. That is one nightmarish puss.
>>343576395I feel this character in concept sounds good, but the not-very-good looking face and ugly as fuck color palette makes it shit.
>>343576927
his arms remind me of these things
>>343575618
This. Fuck Gearbox. Fuck them hard.
They're con artists (DNF & ACM) and murderers.
I repeat: fuck them.
I don't even care about the bad visual designs of the characters, the true problem is the awful as fuck dialogue and awful VOs in the game.

The more I look at Melka, the more I see her as a Bizarro verison of Tracer for some reason.
>>343577303
bet Kaitlin Tremblay doesn't play it either
The only thing I don't agree with on the video is the characters being "ripoffs". Every character is simply based off different archtype so of course overlap would be big. Plus, Battleborn was revealed and shown off much earlier.
But other than that, spot on.
>>343577603
mos def bro
>>343570562
>skipping leg day
>>343577990
Man, some of the characters/animations are like 1:1 rips. The zenyatta/water girl is the most heinous example.
>>343572018
They tried going for the Hero Shooter market and went up against Blozzard on their first try. Shit's gotta be rough.
Frankly, a BL3/Borderworld instead would've been a much better idea. Specially in a post Destiny/Division world where it's clear that the audience for co-op loot shooters is still big and hungry for content.
>>343577990
I honestly would've preferred ripoffs
Them using archetypes is all fine and good, but they force their fucking gearbox quirky randumb humor onto every character when it would only make sense on 1 or 2 characters
>>343578612
Battleborn was made and released first. If anything, Overwatch ripped off Battleborn
>>343575205
when did Mil Muertes get put in a game
>>343577369
The Star Wars one is a clear homage though.
>>343579027
And yet overwatch is more asthetically pleasing, more fun and an all around better game than battleborn
>>343579260
Nice opinions, bro.
>>343570562

somehow I doubt that.
>>343576927

Would be funniest shit ever
>>343579709
>And yet overwatch is more asthetically pleasing,
this is absolute truth.
BB is an absolute perfection of artstyle. As an example of how not to do it that is.
>>343580079
Funnier comeback than any line gearbox has ever put into a game. (not saying much, but I chuckled)
>>343571634
that was an absolutely savage video. I'm impressed, all those clips, the audio, pacing. That was 3 minutes of hate and satisfaction.
This rivalry has a MySpace/Facebook vibe to it.
That being said, the combination of being the heir apparent to TF2, Pixar aesthetics, and waifu-bait meant OW would've been huge regardless of BBs success (or lack there of).
>>343580441
>that image
I don't know what you're trying to do, but it ain't gonna end well for you.
>>343574840
I almost did.
Then I remember all the shit he's done and the stunts he's pulled.
>>343579027
Overwatch is based on the remains of project titan, wich was around long before battleborn was even an idea
>>343580616
Crowbcat makes a lot of good shit. You should check out the ouya video.
>>343580616
You should watch the Evolve and Ouya videos. Much worse/better.
>>343580656
BB isn't "heir apparent" to TF2 at all. They're similar in that it has hero characters and abilities instead of classes and they're FPS. It's just unfortunate timing and Gearbox's awful marketing that make it into a competition.
>>343580441

>>343575558
They don't need it, D.Va fan art has been funnier than anything gearbox has ever put out
>>343570562
outside of the several intentionally unattractive females in the roster, the more wacky characters are fine/fun.
however it becomes an issue during multiplayer where you have literal giants in a tf2 game and can't aim around them on your own team, and also have trouble telling generally whats what.
>>343580441
please tell me there's a doujin follow up for this, I need it in my life
>>343573420
You don't have to really explain the joke because he says it after you kill a female. You only have to explain the joke to people who spout it out of context because HURRFEMINISM.
>>343574460
>>343574419
Both games have "I'll just leave this here."
F
>>343582851
That isn't a meme, it is a commonly used phrase.
You think "Now that the dust has settled" is a meme?
>>343570562
this is literally reinhardt though in terms of proportions, reinhardt a leastt has the mecha thing going on which looks cool
Overwatch and Blizzgaf shitposters.
It's sad because Overwatch threads in /vg/ literally shitposted in the Battleborn thread more than they posted in their own thread.
>>343570562
>SUPER SKINNY CALVES
>TINY TINY HEAD
>ARMOR FOR ONE SHOULDER AND ONE THIGH
>>343583000
When used in the context of "now that the dust is settled, we can agree that X", yes.
The lines are said in-game with a very weird inflection, like they're referencing something.
