>It’s only been a couple weeks since Battleborn was unleashed on the world and already new heroes are joining the fight to save the last star! The first of five new free playable characters - Alani, the warrior-monk healer – releases on Tuesday, May 31st for all platforms and can be unlocked for 47,500 credits earned in-game. Can’t wait that long? Digital Deluxe and Season Pass holders will not only be able to instantly unlock Alani using a Hero Key (more on these keys below), they will also be able to play Alani early starting on Tuesday, May 24th!
>Alani Early Access: May 24th starting at 9am PDT for all regions

>A member of the Eldrid faction who was raised as a healer, but forced to be a warrior, Alani is all that remains of her order after Rendain’s Jennerit Imperium stole the oceans from her world. As a warrior from a planet with vast seas, Alani’s attacks and abilities revolve around her power to control water to dish out pain, or heal her fellow Battleborn. Check back on May 24th for her full reveal and in the meantime, here’s a first-look at Alani fully rendered in-game.

Threadly reminder, Battleborn hasn't sold well and has not made it's budget back yet (and may never at this rate).

Gearbox themselves said it sold just slightly more than Borderlands in it's first week. Borderlands sold 300k in a week, so Battleborn sold no more than about 330k.
In it's second week, Battleborn had a 75% drop in sales. This means it cannot have sold more than 420k copies across all platforms.

Gearbox stated the games budget was more than Borderlands 1 and 2 combined. Borderlands 2 had a $35ish million budget, Borderlands 1 was less but not hugely so. Probably $25-30 million.
Battleborns budget was at least $60 million but estimates put it at above $70 million.
With it's current sales at $60 a pop, it's made about $25 million of that $60-70 million back. That naturally excludes the cut retailers take.

I want haters to leave. No one is making you play the game. All you're doing is discouraging people from trying the game and ACTIVELY trying to kill it.

Battleborn is the top selling game on consoles in the US; 7th on PC, the issues the game does have the devs have acknowledged.

When a game first comes out people buy it. Then they play it for a while. When it's no longer new they don't obsess over it and play it all the time. This doesn't mean the game is dying. It doesn't mean everyone has to jump ship.
"But the numbers are so low"

Also, not everyone buys a game on release. Some people wait for the price to drop. We are a month and a half from huge steam summer sales. I love Battleborn and only played two missions yesterday because I had work and went to the movies with my girlfriend after that. Not all people live and breathe video games we have lives beyond games and trolling.

"But borderlands 2 has more players"

Borderlands 2 is also considered the best in the series by a lot of people and has been on sale God knows how many times.

"Matchmaking!"

Has been acknowledged and is being worked on.

"PC shouldn't have to wait for patches."
It shouldn't have to... doesn't have to... but you will. No one cares about your sense of entitlement. Buying it on a platform doesn't mean you deserve to be catered to. I'm on PC too and you don't see me bitching about the wait. Some of you don't seem to realize that "PC master race" is a joke.

"Most mobas are free!"

Entitlement as above see below. Most mobas make you buy the character or grind for days to get just one. I unlocked 22 of 25 characters in under a day doing public story.

"But it's not growing because it's not free"

Purchase to play games also have a lot fewer issues with aimbots. How many of those do you see in tf2 and other free shooters? Mobas are also a slow to grow genre.

Battleborn has good mechanics. Fast gameplay. Strong characters. And plenty to do. It has flaws but we are working on it.

>literally disguise a planned dlc as a free update

I was really interested in Battleborn.

Some of the designs are wasted on that game, wanted to play it for those specific characters.

But I knew with everyone constantly shitting on it for overwatch it'd be forgotten quickly and the playerbase wouldn't be much. So I just didn't bother.

Not gonna get overwatch either now since it's a team based game and the community is already extremely awful for the most part.

It's been completely unknown because Gearbox didn't do any worthwhile marketing, Randy Pitchford said himself he was relying on word of mouth to spread hype for Battleborn in an interview.

>Not gonna get overwatch either now since it's a team based game and the community is already extremely awful for the most part.
The OW playerbase isn't overly defensive about their game being dead. Honestly as someone who's involved in the OW threads and who has never bought a Blizzard game before, the discussions that occur are usually about balance and excitement for the launch. The people who give a shit about waifus are in the minority.

Usually the people pissing on OW are people who didn't play the beta for very long (or at all) and don't know what they're talking about, if gameplay is the topic. Or they don't understand why it's so hyped and just go into a dismissive tone.

Battleborn is tainted by it's plagiarist, liar, thief developers with a cunt CEO, so obviously the focus will at least partially be on them and their incompetence with regards to how much of a flop Battleborn is. That and it's fun to watch something that is awful sink, Gearbox deserves it.

I had no idea what Battleborn was at the time of the OW beta. I wasn't hyped for either, I just tried OW on the 2nd-to-last day of open beta and enjoyed it thoroughly. I can buy both also without money problems but I feel repulsed by Battleborn because of Gearbox and other reasons.

Ya nah, barely anyone knows about battleborn outside of "hey its that game that wishes it was overwatch". Its an FPS moba that does neither particularly well (i was in the beta a few months ago). There is no reason to play this if you already play an fps and a MOBA. The single player for battleborn is embarrassingly bad.

>>338213397
1. The UI is atrocious. next-level awful. With no exaggeration, a third or more of your screen-space is obscured by useless shit at all times.

2. The gameplay is phoned in as fuck. The MOBA elements don't really work with the way maps are designed. Once a team destroys a tower its over 19/20 times, and that's being pretty generous. If you team knows wtf they're doing you can come back, but it's an uphill fight that's only going to make the match require more effort than it's worth.

3. The developers clearly didn't know what to do with certain heroes, and seemed to have shoved in whatever came to mind in order to to reach a roster quota rather than actually making them all serve a purpose.

4. The game generally feels like a half-assed version of Borderlands. It features no varied weapons and generally just feels uninspired.

5. It plays like complete ass. On both consoles and PC the game seems to enjoy dropping frames every chance it gets.

6. The art style is so fucking terrible it actually affects gameplay. Characters have idiotic movements and a lot of them seem to just be incredibly thin and hard to hit one minute, then do some ridiculous motion that allows everyone to blow them away the next. In addition to that, the colors are so bright and obnoxious it actually hurt my eyes as it makes it impossible to see what the hell is happening passed giant lime green and pink explosions.

7. Because of the way the game is already faltering, and because Overwatch seems to be killing it off, the community is already cancerous as fuck, trying to either pretend that their game is the next eSports fad, or that it is perfect and you're just too stupid to see it. Everyone who is a fan of the game is quickly becoming an apologist for it.

If you have AMD there's some performance issues, I had them up until the most recent drivers were released but I don't know if you'll be the same case.
The season pass doesn't really have anything worth getting it for unless you really end up liking the PvE, the new characters and maps they add are free.
So far game balance wise I don't think anybody is broken, Galilea is kinda annoying but they've stated they'll be doing some changes.

If anything wait until the patch by the end of this month and see if any of my statements about the balance/performance have changed by asking other people. It's a fun game honestly, it's got most of the good parts of a moba like messing around with character builds and playstyles without any of the frustrating shit.

Understandable. My purchases are heavily swayed by morales. Other than the shit posted here regarding Gearbox, the studio has a track record of abandoning titles they're responsible for that weren't massive financial blockbusters. This also dissuades me.

No.
Only faggots want to, especially reaper players for some reason.

It would bring the "toxic" mindset of Esport you see on Dota/LoL.

Make better financial decisions and stop supporting awful companies like Gearbox. I can't force you to do anything, though.

>>338215830
Ultimates make it so that noobs feel useful and truly skilled and aware players will avoid most ultimates while also ensuring that their ultimate is used at the exact right time. Noobs will use theirs to get a few free kills, pros will use theirs to turn the tides in one fell swoop. There is still enough skill involved to allow try hards and good players to feel good while keeping a casual player base from feeling awful. Its going to be great and you just can't stop it. Battleborn will be F2P within 6 months.

Well, what exactly is your issue with Overwatch? It's the perfect "normie friendly" shooter for parties and hangouts. It's a lot of fun, it's polished as fuck, it has neat characters with something for everyone. Why do you want a fun shooting game for friends, but not THE fun shooting game for friends?

You don't have to pay for characters, you need to grind to unlock them. Read the thread.

>>338217285
$40 for the game on PC. $60 for origins which comes with some goodies but that's the only one available for consoles.

All current and future characters and maps are/will be free.

I think you are misunderstanding what Blizz is doing. It's unlocking everywhere in the world at once, but because of timezones that the local time is different.
