You know, maybe if Gearbox put battleborn on the back-burner while everything with Overwatch was going on and waited until 2017 when the hype dyed down, then MAYBE it would have done well and had better promotion and attention.

Trying to beat Overwatch out the door and releasing around the same time as a fucking BLIZZARD game, a very hyped one at that? A stupid move all around. Hell, look at Max Payne 3 going up against Diablo III (MP3 sold OK, but would have probably done better if it did not release the same damn day).

Nah, I actually agree on MP3 being better then D3, I enjoyed the fuck out of it. It was still a bad move releasing it on the same day as D3, since it took a LOT of attention away from it.

In a sane world people would recognize that Bayonetta is equal parts female power fantasy and male fap-bait.

But in our world "body positive" means ugly. Not even overweight/obese because attractive fatties still fall into the "waifus for pervy, neckbearded, desperate basement dwellers" category.

The mods don't really communicate on the steam forums anymore, just the subreddit now which recently banned all threads containing the word Overwatch and any "toxic" threads (read: threads complaining how dead the game is). Basically, a mod of the subreddit was crying that telling the truth on how few players there were was scaring away potential buyers so they banned it.

Bayonetta is attractive therefore she's nothing but a sex toy for cismale oppressors to gawk at. Everyone knows women don't actually like sex, they're just brainwashed into thinking they do by the patriarchy.

>this got to me for some reason
Overwatch's characters ARE very archetypal, but that mostly extends to visual design. And that's all Auldwolf knows because he didn't read the lore.

Soldier 76 and Genji are a lot more nuanced and sympathetic than I expected them to be, and Reinhardt is both inspiring and tragic, as only a larger-than-life knight can be.

right now they're figuring out how to make the game f2p and they're setting up cash shops with the help of people from valve, sony and microsoft.

it's really really interesting to me, we're going to see something unprecedented, a game going f2p within 2 months of its release.

they have to. otherwise they lose tens of millions of dollars. this way, they can still hope to salvage something

anyone who bought the game will get super cool items that nobody can ever get again, and equivalent 60/40 dollars for the cash shop.

>>
>>340026162
I'm guessing because they thought they had a chance, despite desperately trying to pretend it was better than Overwatch, but then backpedal on release trying to distance it saying it was different.

Also Overwatch didn't really have any set in stone release date for the longest time, so I'm guessing Gearbox played it safe until the twitter thing and fucked themselves when Overwatch moved up their open beta because of it.

There was a third place with Battleborn, but due to there being no room, it just up and placed it in the empty slot for another game instead. It was Overwatch. They put a third stack of Battleborn's in the empty Overwatch slot in the games. But I didn't take the picture, so nobody will believe me sadly. Oh well, would have been pretty hilarious.

Did OW light a fire under Robin's ass and get him to make any meaningful changes to TF2? Maybe a weapon update?

Look at the official TF2 blog. They haven't updated that shit since February.

If Valve released competitive TF2 a few years ago it would have been massive but instead they sat on their lazy fucking asses and pumped out cosmetics and shit nobody asked for instead.

Stick to Overwatch. At least that looks like it will start getting consistent content and actual communication instead of radio silence.
