Why do people keep comparing Battleborn to Overwatch?

Battleborn has a single player campaign; Overwatch doesn't.

Battleborn has hours of character dialog and interaction; Overwatch doesn't.

Battleborn has PvE and co-op; Overwatch doesn't.

Battleborn has freaking MINIONS and MOBA maps; Overwatch doesn't.

Battleborn has thirty (30) heroes; Overwatch doesn't.

Battleborn is a fully fleshed out original IP; Overwatch is the scraps of another failed Blizzard game.

Battleborn is the better game, but Overwatch had the better marketing. That's why publishers are willing to drop twice as much money on the marketing of a game as the development of it. Ads sell, quality and content don't.

And how the freak would you know? There's no independent third party verification on Overwatch's playerbase. Blizzard releases vague numbers and you people eat it up.

>Battleborn doesn't

Battleborn has sold more than Borderlands 1, which was a smash hit. The PC playerbase is a bit light, but it's doing great on consoles.

I am sick and tired of seeing this image. Battleborn was in development first, Battleborn was announced first, Battleborn went into beta first, Battleborn's release date was announced first and then Blizzard changed Overwatch's open beta date to coincide with Battleborn's launch.

Blizzard has been trying to sabotage Battleborn form day one. And do you guys chastise the bully? No, you make fun of the victim.

Hello Blizzard employee/Twitch streamer. Thank you for supporting Overwatch (because if you don't you are going to be unemployed).

But the art style of Battleborn is great. It has the Borderlands charm. Overwatch is just a Samus Aran (Nintendo) copy, they even fucking copied no suit Samus perfectly.

Take-Two downsized Irrational (and let Levine take the blame for it) over development issues over the course of BioShock Infinite's development, even though it sold pretty well and reviewed well anyway. They then gave Gearbox, who shit up development of Aliens Colonial Marines, a large pile of cash to develop their very own ASSFAGGOTS. This game was a complete and total failure of epic proportions and no one likes it.

Let's see if Take Two gives Gearbox anymore money.

>>343995410
Does TF2 still have a playerbase? I don't know anyone that still plays it, and last I checked it was losing to CS:GO and DoTA 2 on the charts. Overwatch is succeeding on consoles, whereas TF2 failed. Overwatch is appealing to a larger userbase, whereas TF2 has a slowly dying userbase. No amount of updates can save TF2 from the inevitable

Unless of course, Valve makes a TF3. That would override any existing TF2-killers. Especially now since console games are much easier to update with more content.
>>
>>343995410
>Tf2 players.pretebding their game is still relevant

Tf2 is an obligatory free to play part of the internet. Its not so much a game anymore as Habbo hotel with hats. That's not a bad thing very few games are so successful that sheer stubbornness and momentum can carry them on forever. Like WoW. TF2 is like WoW. People still play it in the millions, but it's not really relevant. Just there, like a benign tumor.

>Borderlands 2 success.
It's a mystery to me in all honesty. Borderlands 1 was awful, but had a potential to become something actually good. Borderlands 2 could've been an improved version of BL1 that didn't base their marketing on MILLIONZ OF GUNZ XD but instead created actual distinctive weapons that feel differently, with an actual world that isn't a bunch of completely dead small locations with nothing in it, with actual enemy and level variety instead of relying on popping numbers and random loot to do all the work for you.

TF2 will simply kill itself from lack of gameplay updates.

I mean, even if Tf2 dies , is it really a big deal? The game supported a fairly large playerbase for nearly a decade. It can die with honors at this point

If competitive comes out, I might actually go back to it. Overwatch competitive is garbage

Being considered vaporware is usually not something to be envied. TF2 is something of an anomaly in that regard - more often than not, titles with a development cycle that protracted end up falling flat.

TF2 is less a template to emulate and more an example of strange fortune.

Why should that matter? Better to be in development for 9 years than to be rushed out as a steaming pile on the floor just like Battleborn

Well lets see, a lower drop in quality of optimization, replacing Borderlands gun drop system with a pseudo-moba system and a storyline that is exclusively memes.

It had potential but Gearbox shot themselves in the foot with the "It's Single-Player But Not Really" routine.
>>
>>344000957
You said "look", hence why I asked. It's one thing to say "It looks like it plays like shit" and another to say "It plays like shit". If I wanted retards spouting opinions about how shit looked, I'd go to fucking San Fransisco and ask a game journalist.

I'm asking opinions about the gameplay, as in how it controls, the balance and if it succeeds in being fun, not how if the gameplay looks bad or not.

And yet, when it did release, it did everything conceivable right. TF2's 'fortune' isn't some mistake or chance shift in the winds. The game has been both popular and hugely profitable for an age. Saying it was simple good luck is sour grapes. TF2's foundation design, when you look past the hats, is incredibly strong.

The only reason it's on the downslide now is because you can only throw so many ideas in to something and have it remain recognizably itself. Valve has thrown the kitchen sink at TF2 in effort to keep it fresh. There's no shame in this. That's just how it goes, but even then TF2 will probably float around and trickle in cash for some time to come.

As previously mentioned, extended development cycles have historically been more likely to produce mediocre titles than actually deliver upon the promises made during that time. TF2 is an exception to that rule - one should not strive to take 9 years to develop a game. Far too much can change in that time.

Like it or not, how a game presents itself matters, and this board is full of people who have been gaming for all of their life. Unless you're underage, that means two decades or nearly that. At this degree of experience, one can safely say they can tell if a game is fun to play by seeing gameplay of it. A vague sense a game is kind of bland is enough to avoid it. Particularly in such a choice rich environment. Half assed efforts won't succeed.

Which might also be why professional trailers are so carefully constructed these days, but that's another matter.

Be mad forever if you like. It doesn't change the facts.

And here we are, dancing around the point at hand. Yes, TF2 was successful - inordinately so, even. That doesn't change the fact that it is a statistical anomaly in that regard. One shouldn't necessarily expect the same results from another project trapped in development hell.

I can't speak for precisely why it worked as well as it did - timing, perhaps, or the relative steal that was the Orange Box, in which it was bundled - but it sure as hell wasn't 9 years in development. Other games have tried, and failed.

Dark Sector, Too Human, Duke Nukem Forever, Aliens: Colonial Marines, et cetera. Time will tell whether or not FFXV and The Last Guardian fare better.

The extended dev cycle doesn't matter. The very games you listed doomed themselves with having mediocre gameplay AT BEST. Simply put, the games were bad. It's not the dev cycle at fault. You're drawing a correlation between the wrong factors.

TF2 came out and had good gameplay regardless of it's dev cycle. That's what matters. Players don't care about dev cycles. They care about results, and it's the players that determine success. Players will wait literally forever and never lose their hype till the instant they can actually play it themselves, and it's that first instant they can actually experience it that matters.
