Is this the greatest flop of our time?

They pretty much brought it on themselves.
Battleborn was already sure that he was going to fail, do not know why they insist on selling free games for $ 60 is absurd. The next will be Overwatch, which is just a cheap copy of Team Fortress 2 being sold at full price.
>>337901267
why the fuck are you even here?
Don't people like you have neogaf or gamefaqs?
>>337901135
They failed at marketing this so badly
Is it even out yet?
Why haven't they advertised it or shilled it on /v/ at least?
Also Overwatch is coming, who the hell thought battleborn would be a good idea?
>>337901135
How did Gearbox not go under after Colonial Marines?
Didn't they literally steal money from Sega for it?
>>337901442
Borderlands 1 sold like shit when it launched and only later gained traction.
That´s not going to happen with Battleborn.

I don't know shit about gearbox but what have they done to deserve this exactly?
Someone quickly explain?
>>337903420
You must be joking, the shills have been working overtime trying to get people to play Battleborn instead of Overwatch here
Unfortunately for Gearbox even the shills for Overwatch are better
>>337903497
Overwatch is hard but as fans have to buy Blizzard games they will continue, eventually the game will die, just like Team Fortress 2 died.
>>337901135
No one asked for that game. Fucking insane why they invested so much into it . It was clearly not gonna happen from day one.

>>337903613
In the far off future when Overwatch finally does begin to die, they'll do a shitty F2P update and give anyone who buys the game a bunch of shiny bonuses, which will stimulate the game for a long while.
It fucking sucks.

They also fucked with the Duke Nukem IP, not only by making a terrible game, but also by shutting down any other games, they even went as far as shutting down fan projects. Finally they removed every Duke Nukem game that is not Forever from digital stores, if you go to Steam right now and search for Duke Nukem, Forever is the only one you'll find.

Good. Gearbox hasn't never made a good game in over a decade. The Borderlands series has been especially egregious, being blatantly plagiarized and ran off an obvious skinnerbox initiative designed to hook idiots. Also, death animations and floaty bullshit in a shooter.

Literally everything said in this game is the most tryhard lolsorandum shit ever.
Every line of dialogue should be punctuated with a robotic voice shouting "LAUGH NOW", because if you forgot to laugh during any of it, the game will remind you it's fucking hilarious.
>>337902594
Battleborn is not a MOBA. It's a first person hero shooter/RPG with MOBA - like maps.

I would have no complaint about this if the character was your typical tumbrina design-wise.

it's not randomly shouted that's a line he says when he kills female characters, it's literally the opposite of what you are making it out to be.

>>337902683
How many times do I have to tell you people? Battleborn was announced months before Overwatch. Battleborn's release date was announced in March and right after our announcement, Blizzard changed their open beta date TO THE SAME FREAKING DAY OF BATTLEBORN's release.
Blizzard has been sabotaging Battleborn for months and you people refuse to see it.
>>337903917
It's alright.
It's the game that is shit.

This is a big reason why I dismissed the game instantly, the game is already $60 (SIXTY FUCKING DOLLARS) and they're immediately selling a season pass for $20 more for a game that doesn't even look all that impressive?
2K is one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) kike publishers in existence and there's no way I'm going to get scammed by their $60 + season pass bullshit when they've pulled the same kike shit for literally every game they've released in the past several years and that ALONE is enough to make me not buy it.

No, they failed at marketing the game CORRECTLY. Fact that people think it's even remotely the same as Overwatch is living proof of that.
>>337903619
This.
Blizzard looked at Titan (or whatever game Kaplan was working on) during development and said this just won't work. Then they took the assets they had and used them as the basis for Overwatch.
Sometimes you just have to admit something isn't going to work and cut your losses instead of pouring more and more resources and trying to force it.

They weren't held accountable.If they are at risk of running out of money they will release Borderlands 3 which will take them back into the black with interest thanks to DLC and people having no standards.
>>337904935
Randy's pockets of course, just like with Aliens and Duke. Borderlands 2 was literally funded on the money Sega gave them to make Colonial Marines and he put none of it into that.

>>337904668
Seriously, I've never played this game or anything, but all the characters look uninspired or really boring. I still think TF2 is the most iconic because they intentionally kept the class number low. Overwatch suffers from this as well because it seems like some characters are a bit samey or have similar roles, is this the case with both games, I know Battleborn has more characters than Overwatch?
>>337904829
At least their DLC tends to either have some actual content and is reasonably priced, or if it's not real content then it's dirt cheap.
Can't really say the same for 2K.
>>337903923
What is the lore of Battleborn anyway?
>>337904742
They are going to release their own version of 3D that won't be compatible with any sort of mods made by the community.Duke will also say Bazinga and they're removing anything sexual
>>337904587
Too fucking bad, it's a free market if you can't compete with a viable product then of course your competitors are just going to steamroll over you, what the fuck did you expect

>>337905081
Borderlands 3 is already in develolment, they'll probably show it at E3
>>337905192
Exactly my point anon.
Gearbox isn't going anywhere unless Borderlands becomes a series that tanks.
>>337904668
Even ignoring the atrocious character design, isn't this wildly imbalanced from a gameplay perspective? His hitbox is like 3 times the size of the character next to him
>>337905146
this was the same name you idiots used for Bloodborne
actually it fits bloodborne more with all the babies and shit, be more creative.
>>337905147
Battleborn is nothing like TF2, it's literally Dota.
>>337905170
The world's power concerns would be solved just by harnessing my endless anger from that happening.
>>337904587
>>337905264
his gun too has 3 times the size tho
>>337905163
Something about a dying sun and it's quite literally one of the last ones in the universe or something. I'm not even sure if it has one. It probably had something to do with battling for a solar system.
>>337905170
Gearbox really deserve all the hate.
On top of that, they harass the only guy taking care of Duke Nukem 3d, as asked by 3D Realms

Yes it's possible to kill your own game by unrelated proxies.
>>337905734

Because Gearbox doesn't make games anymore, they make investment schemes.
Compare Colonial Marines, the goal wasn't to make a game, it was to siphon money out of the project and its investors so they could put it toward Borderlands, an IP that they fully own which they would reap all the profits for.
This game was just a way to suck money from 2K.

They didn't do anything technically legally wrong.
It would be like if they got paid to make a bridge and then used Popsicle sticks and super glue to save money, using the money to build a night club to profit from. Sega's fault for not having a good enough contract, but it is still a scummy thing to do and no one would ever want to work with you again.
Technically legal and "the right thing" from a business ethics standpoint aren't the same thing, anon.

You don't understand the purpose of quality control do you? Putting out low quality shit like this reflects badly on your brand, whether it's free or not

Still looks like shit. Even the biggest Battleborn fanboy probably wouldn't want to display something that ugly.
If they can't afford to deliver a basic, presentable level of quality they shouldn't be giving them away at all.

The thing is, with this game, they did EXACTLY THAT.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furious_4
Furious 4 was a first-person shooter video game which was being developed by Gearbox Software. It was unveiled by Ubisoft at their E3 2011 Conference.[1] Originally set to be published by Ubisoft and be part of the Brothers in Arms series, the title eventually became an independent intellectual property for Gearbox Software. The project was ultimately cancelled by Gearbox in July 2015, with many of the gameplay elements transferred to another project, Battleborn.
>On July 16, 2015, Pitchford revealed that Furious 4 "is not a thing anymore".[11] Many elements of the game were inherited by and transferred to Battleborn, which is a new intellectual property from Gearbox.[12] The company also announced that they were working on a new "authentic" Brothers in Arms video game, and was seeking additional help from external developers.[13]
The only positive thing to come out of this shitshow.

>>337906197
If they are really desperate for it to sell they should just bundle it with some Overwatch keys.
>>337903917
Eh, Battleborn looks like shit, but that intro was pretty good. Just way too long.
>>337904668
That big dude's design is so fucking horrible. His head looks like a tiny dot. Terrible art.
>>337904157
Agreed. Only nice design.
Can't believe there's not one but TWO multicolor mohawk lesbians in the video.
>>337901135
The marketing for this game has been terrible. They got the name out there with commercials and articles and the fact its created by Gearbox but not actually why people should play it.
When its needed for people like TotalBiscuit to make two 30+ videos to detail the game to clear up confusion, there might be a problem.
>>337906329
>develop game
>realize halfway through it's shit
>start again
>end up with Battleborn
That's just bad management
>>337905192
The fact that people will lap it up after the pre-sequel is sad.
>>337906502
I didn't even know a thing about Battleborn until some console shills started talking about it, I'd forgotten that Gearbox still makes games
>unique and innovative game made by an established dev
I really don't understand why Battleborn is struggling. Casuals these days should be buying it up just due to the Gearbox name alone.
I wonder what went wrong. The game so clearly had a razor sharp focus!

That gave me autism.
>>337906694
It really did not help them that news came out that they're harassing a cripple and trying to take his money he uses to pay for his wife's Lupus treatments.
I actually enjoyed the beta and probably would have gotten it when it was 20 bucks but nothing is worth supporting this company to me anymore.
>>337906694
It lacked the aggressive viral marketing of Overwatch. Casual games are built on almost nothing but marketing.
>>337906694
Most of the bad reviews and negative backlash for Battleborn is coming from Gamergate subreddits and websites.
I guess not having a bunch of underage girls prancing around in bikinis is enough for them to justify sabotaging an entire studio's hard work.
>>337906720
Holy shit I spat out my coffee this is hilarious
>>337906841
Randy, It's about 6 AM for you, go back to sleep.
>>337906720
That's memetastic, Mister Pitchford!
>>337901135
it's a game nobody wanted.
NOBODY.
And they put 0% of that budget into advertising, and, as we all know, all that matters are the commercials.
>>337906749
It's a cherrypicked screen from the campaign where whoever took it is pressing literally every extra key he can to make more UI shit pop up, but yeah it's real.
In multiplayer (which is what you should be playing since the campaign was hot garbage) the UI is much less cluttered.

Why the fuck would anyone buy this game when hundreds of moba games exist
>>337906841
It really isn't. Read the reviews on steam. There's no GG rhetoric there, just people talking about all the unpolished areas of BB.
On that topic, disabling Dynamic Lights in the config will cause the framerate to double. Nice one, Gearbox.
>>337906263
Fucking parody is more clearer than actual game

The game is still a hot mess. Work harder instead of shilling.
>>337906561
>>337906776
But also on Gearbox's greatest hits:
>Develop game
>Realize it's shit
>Release it anyway
>Put remaining funds toward new project
>>337901267
Battleborn is a cynical cash grab that failed to grab anybody's cash. They completely deserved this.
>>337906720
Is Pitchford on drugs?
>>337903917
God these are bad designsexcept for the gentlemen robot.Like they could of just copied zero for the sword dude and they would of sold more, except they chose old prune face for him.
>>337904587
>release a way better game than gearbox

Ok.
Should they have made their game shitty on purpose? Like building in some game crashing bugs?
Reminder.
>check out the Battleborn forums, steam discussions, and subreddit
>barely any activity
>the few active threads there are bitching about bugs, lack of players, and the game’s impending doom next week

Wow, even with TORtanic fanboys were defending the game non-stop. Battleborn has already moved onto the acceptance stage of grief.

To be fair the elf on the boxart already looks ugly, badly designed and disguisting.

>>337903479
It doesn't help that it's main competition was Overwatch (I don't care who argues otherwise, it's true) and Overwatch isn't even out yet.
It'll be 100% dead the second OW drops
people who want an fps will play ow/tf2/ut4/ql
people who want an arts will play league/dota/smite
who the fuck does this appeal to?
>>337906841
A) How did you come to that conclusion and what makes their opinions less valid?
B) Yes, not having a bunch of --attractive-- women running around bikinis was a bad idea. Go back to school and take statistics again. There's a bell curve that you're supposed to hit the center of with any product you're hoping to sell. This is a product that you made to sell.
