Why aren't you playing Battleborn?
>>
It's Monday Night Combat but $60.
>>
>>338009756

Because only 3 heroes are available and you need to unlock the rest. I'm not going to spend 100 hours to unlock everything
>>
Overwatch is more popular
>>
>>338009837

Stop comparing Battleborn to Overwatch. They're no where near similar to each other

>>338009836

Having everything available on start up is casual as hell. You're not a casual are you?
>>
>>338009756
>fully blown single player campaign with co-op

This is such a ducking lie. They keep talking about this grand coop story campaign. It's 8 levels. And 5 of the 8 are fucking wav based shit where you stand around waiting for more things to shoot.

It's fucking trash. And it only has 6 multiplayer maps. Even fucking splatoon has more.

>>338009756
>critically acclaimed hero shooter
non valid since critics are easily bought with money.

>25 heroes with 5 more on their way
which you have to unlock, solely for the purpose of delaying gameplay length and give player false sense of "The game lasted very long, it worth the $80"

>fully blown single player campaign with co-op
boring shit

>PvE maps and MOBA elements
I would go warframe for PvE and dota2/LoL for MOBA

>literally 20 hours on unique dialog
doesn't make the game fun

>>great art direction and design
KEK
are you the kind of person that claim modern arts are artistic?

Probably would had gotten battleborn if it's not freaking $80.
But still, it's not as good as you shills claim it is.

Why would you want a single-player campaign in a game marketed to be an arena-shooter? The problem with Stillborn over here is that it tries to be too much; is it an fps? A moba? A single-player campaign?
As a result, the game spreads thin, leaving fucking nothing to stand out as amazing or eye-catching. Also, the designs are vomit.

it's both their faults, gearbox made zero effort to distinguish the game, and Blizzard actively is spending all the money they can to assert Overwatch is everything but what it is to normies.

I was thinking about buy Overwatch but Blizzard hasn't released their pre-order numbers. They would have done so already if sales were good, so it leads me to believe Overwatch won't do so well. Combined with Blizzard's anti-consumer past and dubious level of content updates in the future, I went the safe route and bought Battleborn instead. It's so much fun so far and I could play it immediately instead of waiting another week for Overwatch.

I sincerely recommend that everyone try Battleborn.

But the point is that they're not the same game. They're not particularly comparable, so it shouldn't be an Overwatch vs Battleborn which is better situation. The game should have gone off their own merits, but the lack of marketing and distinction from 2K means that Blizzard can steamroll in with their massive marketing frenzy and force this idea that they are two competing games.

Don't' you even for a SECOND think gearbox aren't the bigger fucks in these situations. 2k are assholes but they're Activision style 'we are soulless monsters who discard our employees like trash, but still are a business' types.

Gearbox are some of the slimiest devs ever, and their complete fluke of luck with borderlands basically sent them into good goyim meme level greedy. we know gearbox lie, we know gearbox funneled funds from colonial Marines for their 'real' game, got sued and WON because of their level of slime contracting.

i guarantee gearbox will be at least half if not the majority reason for any and all problems that end up happening with battleborn scam wise.

Battleborn:
Progressive, pro-women rights, inclusive, written by people who respect social justice

Overwatch:
Regressive, objectifying, cultural appropriative and has a not so subtle pro-industrial-military complex message and even positive allusions to Trump

Overwatch is shallow, it's a massively common complaint supported by how badly it struggles on twitch and the comparatively restrictive play access. the 'only' thing thats actually saving overwatch, is blizzard itself a sa company. specifically that even as shitty as modern Blizz is, they stick with their games, keep them running long after launch, and in d3's case even threw out half the game trying to fix it. Peopel cut Overwatch more slack because they 'expect' even if lacking, blizzard will add more later. it's literally the same situation as Evolve, just with a publisher/dev people actually 'trust' long term.

No, you can't pay real money to unlock them.
Buying the season pass gets you instant access to the upcomming DLC characters when they're released, instead of you having to either level up to a certain level or complete a specific challenge (i.e., kill 50 enemies) like you do with every character in the base game.
All but like two characters can be unlocked within a few days easily if you work towards them.

Well, I played for roughly 14 hours during the beta, mostly D.Va and Mercy, as well as some Zenyatta and Zarya.

I expected the same heroes to get stale, but when I started learning them it actually got more interesting. With 17 other heroes I barely touched I can probably expect 60+ hours at least, not counting group-play with friends or updates later on. For 40€ that seems acceptable.

You'd pay more for Doom 4 with an eight hour campaign max and no replayability.

I was going to buy both Battleborn and Overwatch since they both seemed fun, fresh and different enough from each other, but after all this, I no longer wish to support Overwatch. The mere thought of it disgusts me. Overwatch already has one of the most cancerous communities I've ever seen and the game isn't even out yet.

In a way, I kind of want Battleborn to stay niche for a while longer. At least that way, the community will stay good.

It's the fault of marketing. Gearbox tried to start a rivalry through their marketing and Blizzard responded by having an open beta around BB's launch, smothering it in its crib.

but popular. Hots is shallow and shit, but still 'exists' and gets worked on. Blizzard have a reputation for long term with their games, that REALLY helps on the fence people who feel overwatch is missing things.

even if launch overwatch is as bad as D3 was, there's an 'expectation' to blizzard that they keep working on shit after the fact. literally look at the level of throwing out and redoing they did to Diablo 3.

Comapre to titanfall, similar mp only problems, but a publisher people massively distrust, and expect to abandon projects if they aren't super hits instantly.

you are going to see BB shilling until OW comes out (at which point this single marketer who works for gearbox will give up?? hopefully??)

The game is probably the most polished and simultaneously most souless thing I have experienced, and i've suffered through launch diablo 3.

It started with this. There was more after and Randy started to take it more seriously and shit talk Overwatch.

Blizzard responded by moving the beta date forward to the day Battleborn launched. This resulted in Overwatch beta having FAR more media coverage and plenty of people not even realising Battleborn launched.

an open beta that lasted five days, and if you actually looked at the twitch page, it only had a lot of viewers because of the sheer 'number' of streamers streaming it, the actual viewers per stream was pretty low by twitch standards. hearthstone and CS GO have single streams that get 24k+ viewers, Overwatch most streams were 1.5k unless guys of LIRIK tier were playing it. there was just a LOT of them (probably hoping to be the trumps/kripp's of overwatch._

the game literally fell off into forgotten status during the closed beta, and remember by comparison during that exact same time for hearthstone that game exploded into the weird streamer breeder it is now.
