And this right here is exactly the problem with these stupid, modern Competitive MP games that handle everything server side. Even shit games 10-15 years ago that came out, that went straight to the bargan bin like this you might pick up cause hey, they had SP or a sandbox mode you could play no matter what offline. I was *interested* in Battleborne, mostly because it was a True MOAB but FPS, and it had sorta SP, but because everything is done server side, and the inevitable, likely soon server shut down is what made me hold my money.

Gearbox deserves that, after some games they fuck, I mean, I was a gearbox fan, but then duke nukem came, I said it's ok, not a good game but ok, then alien colonial marines, fuck that did it for me, and since that day I stopped paying for incomplete games of them. And also a big bonus was the fiasco of their borderlands 2 chest collectors edition. Mine didn't have some of the extras, when I contact them they treated me like a 10 year old with yolo in my mind, and in the end they did send me the missing things, but after almost a year (also it was used).

A steaming turd presented in place of a surefire guaranteed hit.
After the guaranteed hit was previewed.
The Sega money for the development got shoehorned into gearbox's own project, they then outsourced the job to a tiny company only known for expansion packs.
Pretty sure that's fraud or some shit, but not a yank game dev, so it's probably the done thing.

I played five hours of the beta and you're exactly correct in every single statement you made. The novelty of an "FPS Moba" wears off in the first fifteen minutes and you're left with an awful art style, insufferable characters, shitty grinding, mediocre gameplay (heroes lack depth) and an absolutely unexcuseable payment model.

OW's character designs are made specifically so one look tells you what their role is and what personality they have. I have NO clue what the character in that picture does.

This game could have actually been something if the artstyle wasn't total shit and the characters weren't so god damn cringy. Like if this was made by any other competent developer rather than fucking Gearbox I'm sure we wouldn't have daily threads shitting on this game. There is an actual game in there and it's suffocating in filth.

I've refunded the game but I can tell you that there is a decent game in Battleborn. It's just under a terrible art style and is backed by a stupid fucking company. Plus the game ran like shit for me. I don't have the best rig, I have an FX-8350 @ 4.6 Ghz and an HD 7950 OC'd yet the game ran like absolute dogshit even on medium settings.

>>342121089
I would say that it was actually a big contributor since they put the idea in peoples heads that it is a competitor to Overwatch when they're completely different games. When people start getting these preconcieved notions about games it's hard to undo them.

>>342118404
proper ex-marketer here, but we're all snake oil salesmen so take it with a grain of salt

Gearbox didn't find a pushable feature. All their promo work was weirdly lofty and like another anon said, very 2006. 90% of the visual styling of Borderlands means it (literally) blends in with its ugly browns and greys, it's major trailer was a cinematic one rather than a gameplay one (in which everyone spoke two times too fast to be understood given their baffling accents and off-key stylings) and it conspired to look like a B-lister: a game that the pub knows is crap but has to contractually cover their ass / maybe try recoup off impulse buyers. Nothing about any promotion of Battleborn showed a definitive, cool thing that you could do or feel that the market is not already providing (and more effectively).

A Day-z ripoff, for comparison, to various mobas, their own Borderlands franchise, Overwatch, and the grand daddy of it all, TF2.

Battleborn would have failed even without Overwatch, but what Overwatch did well was set the scene with in game displays of a very straight forward game (Hey look at us we're a very pretty and very polished TF2 clone) and let peoples hype run wild with the pixar shorts.

I know I'm comparing things a lot but damn, the character design in BB is just HORRIBLE. In a game that relies on its characters you're basically cursing it to only being liked by a ever-shrinking niche of "lerandumb" idiots.

not exactly a good example of how it characterizes her when it is an optional accessory for when the character is on screen and is one of the only identifiable things that might label her as a fastpased character

hell the fight jacket could be used to characterize her a slow becaseu she isn't flying a plane and that is what she spent most of her time practicing to be, not a track sprinter

They only thing that makes the flight jacket make sense for her being a character that is fast on her feet is her backstory/the mcguffin strapped to her back that needs the backstory to be explained

I've explained it to you how every part of her design shows her to be fast, nimble and speedy.

In game she is fast, nimble, and somewhat annoying. Anyone with a goddamn brain can tell what she does by first glance, your "she's a pilot so she's trained to be one that means she can't be fast" is a train of logic NOONE but you has followed.

Most, if not all of your points have been easily rebuked. You think Zenyatta has fucking anime hair for fucks sake.

>I was talking about her actions

No, we're talking about character designs. Winston's highlight intros don't all feature him shooting shit with his electric gun, yet you exempt him.
