Sigh. I guess 4Chan really is populated mainly by literal children.

There's no reason to think that Battleborn won't do the same.

Gearbox has no good rep in the industry.

First, there was Duke Nukem Forever. They bought the rights to a game that was basically like Half Life 3, in that no one ever expected it to be released but people were hyped about it anyways, and released what they got with little improvements. It was reviled, killed the franchise for good, and Gearbox was blamed. Not entirely their fault, but they shouldn't have even released it in the first place.

Then, there was Aliens: Colonial Marines. Basically, Gearbox wanted to make their own video games, but didn't have enough money. So they made a partnership with Sega to develop an Aliens game, made a very barebones (and bad) game with the license, and used the money Sega gave them to create their own games (I think Borderlands 2?) So they stole money, basically. Went to court for it.

Next, we have Borderlands. The first game was a bit of a cult classic, in that it was released with no real fanfare, but then exploded in popularity due to word of mouth and a decent quality. Gearbox decided to take that franchise, and fuck it up. They had a guy named Anthony Burch write it, and for the most part, he fucked it up. Cookie-cutter plot, "kooky" bad guy, bad characters, and worst in the eyes of the community, took lots of internet memes and used them as plot points (such as the big threat of the early game being a robot called "Wilhelm," and having the Wilhelm scream go off when you beat him).

The writer got called out, the writer went crazy, he made it even worse with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (Did exactly the same thing as Borderlands 2, but this time he added political messages).

And finally, the CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, has been known to be a huge asshole to people, online and in real life.

And that is the summary of why people hate Gearbox so much.

Oh, right, I forgot about that.

Long story short, this group of people created a cool animation that was basically what Borderlands was, but before Borderlands was in development. Looking at the design, atmosphere and general look of both the game and the short, it's clear that Borderlands ripped off the Codehunters short to create the setting of their game.

Good job, Overwatch fans, you did good today.

Five dollars for each of you for today's work. Remember, don't let Battleborn even start to gain momentum, we all know that's what kept their other series alive.

Lack polish
Lack of advertising
Lack of waifus
Brianna Wu as Thorn
Cluttered UI

It was really stupid attempting to compete with Overwatch which was both heavily advertised and has waifus. /v/ loves to rage against marketing budgets, but the effect is undeniable here.

At its core, there is some good game play to be had out of Battleborn. It isn't great.

In all honestly, I can imagine battleborn doing better on consoles since overwatch is much more prominent on PC rather than consoles.
Don't get me wrong im not defending this awful game, I'm just saying.
>>
I like Battleborn. It felt like something different while Overwatch felt like yet another fps essentially.

I don't understand why people just use Gearbox as an excuse to hate it, despite how shitty some of their games are (Borderlands 1 was fun and 2 was ok for a bit). At least that's what 90% of this thread is.

Though I play it on PS4, unsure how many players are on consoles.
>>
>>339646371
The marketing just tells you it's "BADASS!!" with their stupid Gearbox-brand XD writing. It could have differentiated itself if it actually made it clear it was a loot-based Singleplayer/Co-op campaign that fed into a MOBA-style multiplayer mode. But apparently, they were dickless and didn't want their game being called a MOBA: they dug their own grave by not telling us what their game was.
>>
>>339658009

I can't find exact in-game stats, but if the number of people streaming on Live from PlayStation is any sort of representation of it, then Battleborn has 24 streamers and Overwatch has 500+ currently.
>>
>reading on Battleborn
>game is set in an universe where there's literally only one star left

Alright, okay, that's spooky.
What is it with Gearbox and making games that are 9 parts unfunny jokes and 1 part interesting plot points?
>>
So how is Battleborn compared to Overwatch gameplay wise?

I haven't played either and I'm building a new toaster soon.
>>
>>339658410
They march their games around with inane, cringey writing with cocksure confidence, yet they're actually just spineless cowards that have to fall back on "being wacky" and not playing their actual good ideas simple and straight.

It really is honestly a shame.
>>
>>339658670
Overwatch is FPS with MOBA elements.
Battleborn is MOBA with FPS elements.
Pretty much.
>>
>>339658670
It's basically a moba but also a first person shooter.
>>
>>339658807
And the MOBA elements of Overwatch are basically hero skills, and that's it. There are no creeps and towers, it's all strictly based around the characters themselves.
>>
>>339658670
Battleborn is a first person MOBA in the style of borderlands.

Overwatch is like a stylized TF2.
>>
>>339659284
More like destylized. At least at release TF2 had a good, cohesive artstyle. Overwatch looks like someone looked at a bunch of liefeld's art and decided the designs weren't busy enough.
>>
>>339659431
>throwing the L world around so carelessly
Now now, let us not be hasty. Reinhardt has a surprisingly small head but it doesn't quite reach Liefeld levels

>>339643445

Reminder that /thread happened here and that the Overwatch hype train will probably guarantee immunity for a solid 6mo to a year before people start actually hating it.

With any luck gbox will have cleaned up Battleborn and the only golden age it will actually have will probably occur then before settling into a consistent playerbase.

Gearbox's management is a way bigger reason to shit on the company besides the fact that the writing in this games is complete fucking garbage, they are outright terrible people managing that company and I doubt anyone would miss them if they were horribly removed from this world.
>>
I had no idea this game existed until a few weeks ago when I saw people joking about it crashing and burning compared to Overwatch. Maybe I've just been under a rock, but Battleborn seemed to come completely out of the blue.
>>
Lack of sexually attractive characters. Porn makes money and brings interest to a game.

almost no fucking advertising for this game, and what little advertising there was was shit. Almost nobody knows this game exists.

Gearbox humor, only rated T so they can't even try to be offensive.

Shit campaign that nobody wants to play. Items make multiplayer unbalanced.

And also a really poorly timed release. Not only did Overwatch come out, but also Gearbox harassing a cripple man and trying to kill his wife, which is the main reason I didn't get it.

Gearbox owns some of the rights to Duke but not all.

Apogee/3D Realms handed Duke 3D and the Build engine to one of the original devs who has a Pannenkoek-tier knowledge of the engine and game. he's cripple and his wife has Lupus, he relies on royalties from Duke 3D and other Build engine games to cover her treatments.

Gearbox is trying to sue him saying that Apogee/3D Realms never had the right to give him those properties, also they removed Duke 3D from all online retailers so the guy's money gets cut off.

Basically Gearbox is literally the most evil company in the history of vidya, worse than fucking EA and Activision and Ubisoft combined.

So, battleborn will be going free to play about three weeks from now, in what will be a pretty much unprecedented shift. They're going to have to convert all sales to premium accounts that get some kind of special "founder" status and a bunch of gold to spend in the store.

Right now they're working with Valve, Sony and MS to get stores into the game ASAP. I estimate this will take them another month to reach basic functionality, so f2p in 3-4 weeks.
