Battleborn is the worst-looking game in the history of the medium.

Not because of a lack of graphical fidelity, but because the art style is legitimately the ugliest thing I've ever seen in gaming.

to be fair that is the first image I've seen of Battleborn that didn't make me want to tear my eyes out. I'd go so far as to say it looks good.

However, it's obviously a carefully constructed and painstakingly arranged image to make it look significantly more appealing than how the actual game looks, which is still shit.

no, he's not. Pulling the "back in my day" shit doesn't work, becuase guess what, times change. It's unacceptable to have a 30 minute queue time for an online game,especially a fucking new one in this day and age.

>>
>>343902695
Even if its marketing was a total failure, how easily remembered are any of the characters in battleborn?

Besides being mostly memorable, making derivative and user content out of Overwatch's characters isn't exactly that hard.

On the top of my head the only character that sticks out is the soldier one, not because of any actual interest, but because of his stupid dialogue.

Releasing a MOBA into a climate where League of Legends and Dota 2 exist was already suicide. Overwatch was just another nail in the coffin.

The fact that they relied on word of mouth instead of conventional advertising sure as fuck didn't help either.

Gearbox dropped the ball, kicked it out of the field and when they went to pick it up they fucking popped it. Oh well, I'd consider it karma for Aliens: Colonial Marines and their theft of Borderlands artstyle from the artist of Codehunters.

Battleborn is actually a hidden diamond it's a masterpiece that should be preserved its gameplay is fluid and incredible it has a incredibly diverse, progressive and fun cast with well written stories and clever commentary its characters appeal to all the oppressed minorities and its deeper and more complex than overwatch

Meanwhile over watch has shitty gameplay it's pay to win characters are racist sterotypes with no depth or backstories and women are overly sexualised to appeal to the racist and mysoginistic assholes

Blizzard is a shit company that created a 0 effort game and paid reviewers to destroy this masterpiece and steal the well deserved money form such a hardworking and great company as gearbox

all it just feels like nowadays the difference between an non esport game and an esport game is "is the publisher/developer throwing money in an attempt to try to cement the esport scene before it forms solidly?"

Guys, i want honest opinions.

Is Battleborn fun? I'm getting OW tonight becuase i played from level 0 to 15 on Open Beta and had so much fun that i decided to give BLIZZARD my money.

I loved it that much.

But i am also wondering about Battleborn, i might try it someday if they do something to boost their community.

Battleborn was actually pretty alright until recently. The dropping player count coupled with the newest matchmaking changes killed it for a lot of people that were still hanging on.

I know it's a bit unfair. But Battleborn isn't an indie upstart. It's a major release from a major studio that literally came out 2 months ago. Counter Strike came out 16 years ago.

That's... not good.

It's clear that Overwatch completely ate this game's lunch. Why does this shit keep happening though? I see it so often.

How could nobody go "ABORT. ABORT. DELAY THE FUCKING RELEASE. WE'LL CUT OUR LOSSES"? Is it a retailer thing? They had to have known Overwatch release way ahead of shipping.

Maybe the game would have failed anyway. But I'm sure it wouldn't have been the hot dumpster fire it currently is if they'd delayed the game by a couple of months. Is simply putting a finished game on the shelf for a while heresy or something?

Depends on a lot of factors. If a company is public, it's easier to shrug off failed products launches to shareholders as the capricious whims of the public, rather than delayed products which fall 100% on employees and management.

Gearbox is private though. Chances are they realized the game was always going to be a dud, so pushing it out was, in fact, cutting their losses. Unless they reasonably thought they could hold on to it and make it better, it would be better for them in the long run to stop development and simply grab as many sales as possible.

Personally, I would have probably delayed until the Christmas season, hoping players got bored with OW and get the holiday sales. I have two guesses as to why they didn't. 1) They figured they had a sloppy turd and didn't want to waste any more resources on it, or 2) They legitimately believed they had a better product than OW and would beat it once they released.
