>>337034348
They had a massive booth at PAX east. But lo and behold, it was the overwatch booth that had the massive lines.
Not even an Overwatch fanboy but there's something satisfying about this game failing.
They tried to cuck Blizzard by releasing the game early and then Blizzard just cucked them back by having the beta released at the same time as the launch of this game. Now nobody is interested in playing BattleBorn, even though they're very different games.

battleborn has been in development for far longer than overwatch.
>>337035432
what would being an overwatch fanboy have to do with this shitpile?
its a fucking moba shooter, overwatch is shitty but at least it isnt a fucking moba.
battleborn commited suicide right out of the gate thinking that anyone cares about any moba that isn't league or dota 2
>>337035763
for a second I thought that these sales were actually important
>>337035271
Its more popular then ever
>>337035280
I liked brothers in arms. But I'm glad that IP is dead. I don't want modern gearbox touching those games.
>>337033890
>UK
So these hardly matter.
>>337035786
Yea but being MOBA has nothing to do with why it failed. MOBA's are really popular you fucking idiot lmao.
If Overwatch was a MOBA, people would still love it. It failed because it has shitty characters, and a terrible art style.
>>337035772
Irrelevant point.
>>337033890
the shills have been in full force on this board and it still isn't selling.

>>337035962
>It failed because it has shitty characters, and a terrible art style.
This pretty much sums it up
Ironically battleborn has really great gameplay but visuals are all that matters to average players
>bomba
Why don't you just go back to neogaf you pathetic cuckold
>>337033890
They totally should have seen this coming.
I haven't play Battleborn and Overwatch is meh, but releasing it alongside with the beta of another roughly similar game made by a company everyone knows is suicide. No amount of advertisement can save it.
>>337034253
I currently lived in Bongistan and many major advertisement spots have posters of battleborn plastered on, I think for merriclaps ESPN has been broadcasting ads for it non-stop too.
>>337034769
>Only within the last few months has hating on neogaf been the new got meme.
Lol are you for real?
Ok just watched the 12:50 minutes long trailer/advertising for this game and tries WAAAAY too hard for what it is
Like WAAAAAAYYYYY TOOO HARD
No waifus, ugly art and characters, graphics look like ass because of the art
Looks like a mishmash of a F2P game, but has a price tag along with >Gearbox
>>337035901
They didn't hit big with Brothers in Arms like they did with Borderlands 2
>>337035962
>>337036035
>It failed because it has shitty characters, and a terrible art style.
Why didn't Borderlands 2 failed? It had far worse characters and art style
It's fine because the game was designed for a long tail. The base game is early revenue, DLC and promotionally free content will make it profitable for a long time.
Make-or-break is how the player count holds over the next three or four months. Evolve had a big start which tapered down quickly because the game sucked, so the investment in DLC didn't have good return. If Battleborn's weak start means it's unpopular at a fundamental level, it'll get fucked like Evolve. If the weak start is due to the mindshare with Overwatch, there'll be a gradual player increase over time.
>>337035772
It's more complicated than that. Titan was in development longer than Battleborn, and Titan was chopped down to make Overwatch. But Battleborn was announced far before Overwatch, so it's also "first". Did Battleborn influence how Titan was reorganized into Overwatch, or was there mindshare leading to parallel action?
>>337036214
No they didn't but brothers in arms was actually good and had decent writing. Borderlands 2 was awful.
>>337036107
They couldn't see it coming because Blizzard deliberately announced the beta once they knew Battleborn's official release date.
Despite being entirely different types of game experiences, Blizzard is so scared it is doing everything it can to crush Battleborn. It's pretty fucking scummy. Just turn on a TV and, despite having never seen an Overwatch commercial or sponsored thing in the past 3 months, literally every channel has a commercial and ESPN and shit are sponsored by Overwatch all of a sudden.
It's like a petulant child with endless resources not wanting anyone else to play with their own toys.
>>337036348
It's also fucking borderlands, people are desperate for the diablo autism but in fps form
>>337035962
Overwatch is a moba with a tf2 style
Im a fanboy and can say this why are others so quick to say it isn't ?
And why are people trying to make tf2 and overwatch seem like they're competing when tf2's community barely exist
>>337034753
Not really. Overwatch was extremely low production cost due to the fact it's almost entirely made up of assets / lore etc from Project Titan which was scrapped. Any profit Overwatch brings is just that, profit. It has almost no sales goal to turn it profitable. You can substantiate this by looking at their quarterlies and noting that since the start of overwatch production, there has been almost no increase in the companies costs.
Aside from that, battleborn isn't well known at all as it didn't market itself for shit. Blizzard is marketing the way they always have. Their characters, which is what everyone knows them for. And yes, it's going to work just like it always does.
Mind you my actual opinion of the game is it's pretty shit, and I'll only play it when friends bug me to and bring alcohol. But if you think it's going to flop? You're pretty delusional.
>>337035432
imagine being a developer for this game and being pressured to meet an extra-rushed deadline so you can release the game before Overwatch, only to have blizzard's polished game that's been in closed beta for like 6 months go to open beta literally the same time and completely shut down everything you worked so hard for. All those sleepless nights for nothing.
>>337036013
>shills
All I've been seeing are anti-shills and blizzdrones with the tenacity of barneyfag.
Like I don't think I've ever seen a non-EA, non-pretentious game dogpiled on this fucking hard before, even before it left the starting gate; people are even trying to use out-of-context quotes to drum up more hatred too.
>>337036035
>Ironically battleborn has really great gameplay but visuals are all that matters to average players
Well it's a videogame, I would say the FANTASY of playing and pretending to be something that isn't real is part of the charm, like, 50% of it, the other 50% being the actual game design and rules.
As far as I've seen you can only pick lanky edgy thing, mushroom thing, ugly color nightmare of yellows and shit spider thing with a random red eye, and a cartoon of a cartoon of a soldier with tiny head.
I don't want to play with any of these things. All of them are spam MB1, i know it, i sense it, and also the effects look like SHIT so it's not even satisfying to do so.
>>337036673
>Overwatch is a moba
No it fucking isnt, having skills doesnt make something a dota game
>>337036348
Because BL1/BL2 have that diablo style of killing mobs for better gear to kill better mobs. However after 2 games pretty much everyone was tired of the style, it's why presequel didn't do that well.
Who the fuck is still buying black ops all these months later?
>>337034769
> I've only been here for a few months
neofag please go
>>337036580
Who thought this was a good idea? I'm glad people caught up when Destiny came out
That's what you get for charging 50 bucks for a game literally no one has ever heard of.
>>337036806
The game is not played like tf2 solely
You won't have a single game where people are just using one or two abilities to defend a cap or two
People go all out on a battle like you'd see in a dota or league game
It isn't like tf2 where the abilities were from the weapons because everyone has a ability
Clear difference
>>337036138
The character trailer is pretty crap. A better cut would be like Overwatch's character trailer, but the existence of that probably forced Gearbox into a weaker script to avoid echoing Blizzard. Both games are in a terrible position, cutting each other down.
>F2P
I'd bet that's Gearbox's endgame, following Valve's pricing model but throwing some DLC in.
>>337036567
You can hate on this tactic all you want but I won't call it scummy. I would do the same thing to my competitor if I were in bliz's shoes.
the world of business is always like that, if you want your product to dominate the market and you have the money to waste and push it out, nobody can stop you unless they have an exceptional quality to their product. But since we know that's not the case with battle born it's easy to see why they fuck up.
>>337036794
That's cool and all, but that doesn't mean others feel that way.
>>337036718
>Overwatch was extremely low production cost due to the fact it's almost entirely made up of assets / lore etc from Project Titan which was scrapped. Any profit Overwatch brings is just that, profit.
I don't mean to defend Battleborn here, but this statement is insane. Did Project Titan ever turn a profit? Fuck no, it never released. So you can't even begin to say Overwatch just gets a free ride on its coattails. It still has to make up for the sunk costs on those assets in the first place. Which it seems to have no problem doing anyway.
>>337036983
Just because it's not exactly like tf2 doesn't make it a moba. Moba has very clear mechanics and overwatch is missing literally all of them save for the skills which are just a tiny portion
Are you mentally handicapped
>>337036940
80 bucks in Canada famalam
>>337036994

>>337037106

Did you even play the game? It is fast paced like a moba and more tactical like early tf2
>>337036794
>it's a videogame
>gameplay is only 50% important

>>337036869
Pre-sequel didn't do well because nobody fucking asked for it, and even normies saw through how fucking obnoxious Burch-era gearbox had become (haha woah guys it's called PRE-SEQUEL that's totes not a word WOAH wacky).
Borderlands 3 is going to do well unless they utterly shit the bed colonial-marines style.
>>337036754
The hatred is because for months every Overwatch thread has had Battleborn posters saying how OW is gonna flop and their game will come out on top.
The difference is OW has an actual following and popularity, whether that be because of successful marketing or not. Battleborn is paying semi-popular Twitch streamers to play their dead game to the point that they have more people watching it on Twitch than playing it. And people aren't watching for the gameplay, it's for the streamer.
>>337037017

Yes Private Obvious, someday you'll be captain. Keep it up.
>>337034201

Where are the in game levels
Where are towers
Where are in game items
Where is PvE
Why can you switch characters in middle of the game

>>337037257
Unless it blows me the fuck out of the water with pure unadulterated FUN I don't see myself ever touching some setting that I don't find interesting.
The only time i've been getting into the overdone military shooters was R6Siege because it is indeed THAT GOOD.
BUT also it didn't cost me much money and i had the incentive of playing it with friends.
It was worth it at the end but it's a long shot to try something blindly, even more when it's kinda ugly anyways.
>>337037535
>those dudes did like Borderlands.
That's funny cus a lot of people who dislike borderlands like this game
>>337033890
Battleborn came out?
>>337037502
only difference is the bottom 2 things (gear box and thing directly up that), rest is the same
>>337037061
That's not really how business works, anon. Titan had it's plug pulled because it wasn't panning out. It was not scrapped so they could make overwatch instead. To Blizzard, Titan was already lost money. They didn't intend to make something from it's scraps to save a buck, rather they wanted to make another new IP still and a lot of the assets from Titan could fit that new IP.
They also did this with StarCraft with assets from WC2. It's not a new practice, most game studios do this, Titan just got a LOT further along than most studios have the budget to allow if it's not gonna pan out. tons of resources are shared or revamped between projects whether they be ones that went full retail or something that never even saw the light of day outside the office.
Titans cost have zero relations to Overwatch. The fact it was able to use so many assets from it is great, it also used a ton of concepts from SC2, are we taking the production cost of that series into consideration too?
>>337036567
> What is competition
> What is marketing
You do realize in every form of media, the small frys schedule around the behemoths, and if they don't they get stomped?
If Warcraft or even Avatar 2 came out at the same time as Star Wars 7, they would flop regardless of how bad Star Wars 7 was.
>>337037301
Who wore it better, that thing or the DaS3 Estus Flask plastic?
>>337037280
Pre-Sequel was 2K wanting a new cut of a new Borderlands pie, and Gearbox letting them make it because they'll get IP rights revenue for doing nothing. It's literally what Gearbox as a company has been building towards for years.
>unless they utterly shit the bed colonial-marines style
Is Sega managing milestones and deadlines? No.
Is Timegame involved in any way? No.
Those two fucked up A:CM's development, and Gearbox stuck around that shitstorm to get paid for what they did.
>>337037641
oscar mikes weapon is smaller
crosshair is different
no minimap and small icons on screen indicating where shit is are gone
augment is at the bottom of the screen
the game is a visual clusterfuck but misrepresenting it is still stupid
>>337034295
Yes, because people will throw money at them to make Borderlands 3.
>>337037130
>different genres. Different markets.
Please explain your reasoning, yes they do have some differences, but they are basically TF wannabes aimed at casuals.
>>337035271
It's not beating CoD on consoles so it already lost there.
>>337037367
>literally everything possible that the UI can show is on-screen at the time
>mid-jump (which raises the admittedly large weapon models higher momentarily)
>on a character who will be looking down his sights 90% of the time he's not sprinting (which lowers the weapon model)
>>337037061
Overwatch doesn't have to get a free ride on Titan's coattails because Titan got a free ride off of WoW and Hearthstone's coattails.
Blizzard isn't making ends meet boyo they're swimming in a mountain of cash from their other long-standing or low-production-high-profit games.
>>337037883
Different genres but I'd argue largely the same market though both games play very differently which you would know if you played both. Only one of them has any resemblance to tf2
>>337037802
It was all Gearbox's fault. You should know it by now.
>>337037641
And OM's gun model reduced and moved down off-screen.
But the real issue is that the screenshot was taken during combined ding swirl and killstreak announcement while the player held a helix point. Literally the busiest point for the UI.
>>337035365
Holy shit, that's two massive "esports" flops by 2k games. How will they ever recover?
>>337038215
was this game supposed to be esport?
>>337038054
Because Gearbox, because of embezzling speculation, or what?
>>337036013
Answer me this, Overshill.
If BB is dying, why is it that the playerbase has been steadily climbing up?
>>337038376
Not on pc it hasn't
In fact for some fucking reason there are 2k less players now than exactly 24 hours ago
>>337038483
>in fact for some fucking reason there are less players on a monday than there are on a sunday
>>337038582
I was still living in sunday because I'm a fucking neet, that explains it
>>337038054
Yes. Because Sega giving development to the section 8 dopes was all on Gearbox isn't it?
>>337038483
During low hours? No shit, Sherlock. Every game was at its lowest point.
This is the current stat
This is impressive given the fact that at every opportunity given, OW was tripping it over and it's a new IP.
>>337037401
> Where are the game levels
It has both maps and experience levels
>Where are the in game items
Can be earned by playing the game. They're cosmetic because non-cosmetic items would make the gameplay worse

So you can counterplay the other team's comp?

>>337036673
Overwatch has no resources or upgrading your character throughout a match. It's a class-based shooter you dummy.
Oh and TF2 is 3rd most played on steam, not bad for a barely existing community

Isn't the whole point of this thread that ratchet and clank outsold BB on PS4? The fact that the top 2 games sold more than all of Battleborn's sales combined?
From my experience, Steam games have more active populations long-term than PS4. Dark Souls 1 and to a lesser extent 2, were completely dead on PS4 but there were still surprisingly active communities on PC.

>>337039441
The PC can't hold a playerbase doesn't apply to most singleplayer games anon. Only multiplayer. As a PC owner, I am not stupid enough to buy a multiplat multiplayer game on it. EVER. There are too many games on the platform to keep it steady (toaster games suck most of the playerbase) Single player games on PC offer longetivity with mods and backwards compatibility that consoles don't. On console, if you beat it then you are done.
And this thread is a Blizzdrone shitpost more than anything. Try making a thread discussing OW flaws, mods delete them in 10 minutes or less, even if it is active. I am certain a Blizzard shill campaign is going on.

Sweet, now I can play it when it goes F2P.
>>337044310
You mean a first person game with rpg elements?
>>337044310
>gearbox practically invented a new genre with borderlands
well no they didn't though
because they basically copied diablo without the math interactions that make diablo work, it was one of the most half ass things ive ever seen
any game continuing that style of gameplay lends itself to diablo, not borderlands, which just aped something and did it wrong in the process.
>>337044417
>>337044479
borderlands was the first to do this and inspired countless games, no matter how good or bad it was it started it
>>337044609
it wasnt the first to do anything and it didnt inspire anything
the concept of "lets make a first person diablo game" was as old as first person games and diablo games, they just hit the market first.
no, borderlands didn't start shit. diablo did. it's simply an inferior diablo clone in an fps game. you cannot attribute innovation to it
>>337033890
Good, we don't need more shitty cartoon MP fps
>>337044609
There was literally never a fps game with rpg elements before Borderlands, are you sure?
What games did it inspire?
Not even the art style or story premise is original.
>>337044737
>it didnt inspire anything
Is that why every single fps rpg hybrid copied Borderlands's number flying off of enemy figures?
Destiny and the Division are most certainly inspired by the way Borderlands operates. Hell, id even blame it for the insane increase in open world sandboxes in recent years.

Keep being stuck up your own ass. At some point you gotta get some air.
Borderlands was ripped off in many respects by Destiny and definitely by the Division. It even helped spark a resurgence in co op focus more than L4D ever did since its market was closed by its PC environment.

>>337035142
They aren't.
The point OP is trying to make is that Battleborn just came out. This was it's release week and the sales couldn't beat Ratchet and Clank and CoDBo3 which have both been out for several weeks to months already.
>>337045947
Gearbox didn't spend the money, 2K paid Gearbox to make it.
>>337046350
Also it's finals week.
Releasing games on the last month of school seems stupid considering the demographic.
>>337034295
Borderlands fans are pretty stupid.
The biggest question is who will Gearbox rob to fund a new Borderlands game?
>>337046092
Trying to copy that other poster, bub? That's me, and you know what - you're correct.
Destiny and Division aren't Borderlands clones, but they're damn well inspired by it in the same way Diablo inspired Borderlands. They didn't "rip off" Borderlands, but copied certain mechanics to throw into a bunch of other unproven ones, just like Borderlands.
Think, dumbfuck. Think.
>>337034243
they're nothing alike
battleborn is Memelands+Smite, Overwatch is TF2+abilities-weapons
>>337033890
Who would play that based on that image? Shit looks like a chinese game from 2000s. And to compete with overwatch and its design? Dead on arrival.
>>337034243
i think you mean poor man's overwatch, if that poor man had 20 extra dollars
>>337046570
You have no proof, as far as I can see they're just another set of shooters with rpg elements. The Division isn't even in first person.
You are 100 percent talking out of your ass.
>>337046570
Diablo just inspired the loot system.
Borderlands created the FPSRPG genre that destiny is part of. Not that that makes it a better game.
The Division is more like APB with out the cars imo.

They're both first person games with an emphasis on hero characters that have abilities, with Overwatch focusing more on TF2-style play and Battleborn fusing FPS with MOBA elements, although it would be a disservice to call it a MOBA as you would traditionally expect.
Battleborn in particular has an actual single player campaign that can be played in co-op, a king of the hill-like game mode, and the more MOBA-type game modes. The MOBA-type game mode in particular shifts the focus so that minions ACTUALLY ARE IMPORTANT. Killing your enemy's minions before they get to the scrapper to gain them points is just as important as protecting your minions from the enemy players trying to destroy them.
Furthermore, unlike typical MOBAs, you bring your equipment loadout with you into battle, a set of relatively minor passive bonuses that can enhance your playstyle but not define it, that need to be unlocked over time by spending points, points that can instead be used to generate or upgrade your minions thus gaining you a significant XP boost, or to set up various structures like turrets or accelerators that will attack enemies or improve your mooks/teammates while also gaining you a significant XP boost to level up faster.
Meltdown has you trying to take down towers that are nigh impossible to take out on your own without minions distracting them and helping out.
>>337047143

>>337035365
kek but its gearbox so they deserve itreally nobody is fan of that ugly art style they use in their every game plus blizzard released overwatch open beta for sole purpose to soil battleborn launch and looks like they were succesful
>>337046865
>just another set of shooters with rpg elements
Literally no other game before Borderlands had first- or third-person shooting with lots of randomized item drops.
And if you could fucking read, you'd see "copied certain mechanic sto throw into a bunch of other unproven ones". Not copying the whole game, but the shooter-looter part. They changed it to a third-person perspective along with adding dungeons, open world PvP, and other mechanics unproven in a shooter-looter. Not a clone, but an inspired succession.
>>337047143
>Division is more like APB with out the cars imo
I don't remember APB having character levels and growth. There's threat, but that's ELO rather than Level 80 Mage shit.

TF2 came out 2 years before Borderlands. The item drop system was implemented 7 months before Borderlands came out.

>>337048234
>TF2
Seriously? Quit grasping at straws and stick to items with random stats dropped randomly in-game by killing certain NPCs as a primary engagement loop. TF2's item system is similar to Diablo and Borderlands in only the most abstract sense.
>>337048254
Now that there is some
A R T I F I C I A L difficulty
>>337048663
well I guess you could say it was the very first shooter that copied the random loot system from diablo then. I still don't see how The Division or Destiny has to do with borderlands though.
>>337049138

>>337050263
I played like 10 or fewer hours of it while trying to understand what the MOBA genre was about. Once I understood, I burnt out pretty quick and haven't played it for years.
A big problem was that it didn't feel very much like I could just pick my character based on taste and learn how to do well with them. I wanted so badly to do well with the armoured angel gal but I kept getting fucked in the late game because I just didn't learn when I should go mook hunting or to whichever shops to make whatever item, it felt like playing certain characters REQUIRED certain item builds to even be viable, and so on. Also you always, always focused on killing enemy players first and enemy minions second. You did this because players were the primary target, and minions were really just... fodder. That each minion is actually valuable and critical to your success just resonates well with me.
I haven't bought the game yet though, I've just been looking at it, wondering if I should. I've got a huge fucking hard-on for genre fusion games, part of why I liked the Battlezone series so much.
>>337050179

>>337050634
Saying sex sells isn't really saying it shouldn't. Gearbox was retarded for not including a bunch of sexy wimmens in BB
I remember the game being unplayable in beta, had something like 15-25 fps while the game looked like something you'd play on your phone.
Did they at least fix that?
>>337050936
There's waifus, it's just some of them are still in development.
I think all of the girls look alright but if you want to go as utterly basic and broad appeal having as possible Phoebe, Reyna (I know /v/ hates niggers and you're just itching to throw that at me but she's perfectly normal looking barring dat massive ass.) and Melka are alright.
I honestly don't get what people hate so much about the art style. I like them all but can see why some people don't like certain characters but there are some that should have mainstream appeal like Kelvin, ISIC, Caldarius, Galilea, and Kleese.
>Battleborn has no waifu appeal
