Is this actually real?

Is this actually real?

I don't remember a game ever bombing this bad ever.

Maybe they shouldn't have included that "From the makers of Borderlands" bit.

Beautiful if true.

I have to double check, is that a price for a preowned copy, or a new one? Either way, about the only thing funnier would be if it was free and no one fucking wanted it.

New with all the preorder bonuses included apparently, like multiple codes stuffed in.

So when is pitchford going to commit sudoku?

This year has had so many games bomb that they're labeling gamers terrorists!

He just got drunk at the game awards, got out a guitar and sang a very badly rhyming song about 'gamergate bigots' as a crowd of borderlands cosplays awkwardly smiled for a few lines then looked down kind of sad.

I don't know what they were thinking trying to pass off a Shovelware title with cringey dialogue as a AAA title

Sure, there were some laughs, but nobody even talks about this shit anymore.

Borderlands is a popular series, the second game sold around 15-20 million copies.

Be a smug retard elsewhere.

I hate borderlands as a game, Anthony Burch is just more shit lumped into an already rancid turd.

This is literally videogames discussion.

Yes user, Battleborn is a real game

Get triggered, stormfag.

...

Pretty clear why it failed. The signs were all there from the start.

Stillborn was only ever really alive once, the fact that they thought it could compete against Overwatch is insane, especially when OW was $40 by itself.

It's very real

It didn't even have waifus or porn.
Even bad games can generate rule 34.

It was so bad they became a publisher (I bet it'll be a mad scramble to push out everything as cheap as possible to recoup money, or they're hoping to find the next Undertale).

Out of all the bombs this year, I actually feel bad for Wildstar. The devs seemed like decent people, and I liked the look of it, the gameplay just wasn't there.

hey at least it's doing better than this pile of crap

Well, Mirrors Edge and Other M hit bargain bins within 30 days much like Battleborn if i remember shit right, but neither went below ~9$ as far as i can remember seeing.

It is indeed one of the greatest failures in modern gaming history.

and people doubted the power of bootywatch. Those butts were just too perfect.

I don't think anyone underestimated how retarded blizzdrones are

They certainly had the fapbait thing going for them. Somehow they (mostly) got away with it as well. Maybe it's because no character had big boobs (which are a misogynistic tool of the patriarchy as we all know).

Mei is pretty stacked.

I wish this game would have sunk them hard enough so I can live with the comfort that the Duke IP can either be sold off to hopefully someone better or finally find rest. Maybe some day.

For comparison.
Even if they go F2P now, it's too late for the game.

A true failure on every single count.

I thought people liked it, or was that subtle EA marketing leading up to the release of Mirror's Edge 2?

Some people liked it but it had REALLY bad initial sales and retaining rate so probably the later, especially since everyone i saw who liked it back in the day on halfies basically went "IT'S FUCKED" about the chances of the sequel being good when everyones favorite scam artist was invited to the Devs.

I think that was potentially more EA overshipping that caused the price reductions though, i know itm Battleborn and Other M are the fastest reduced prices i have ever seen for "mint" physical vidya.

I bet it would be bought out by Bethesda, they love ruining oldschool classics.

Maybe they shouldn't clone Overwatch. They thought that adding singleplayer will allow them to sell it in the same month as actishit game launched. From all TF2/Overwatch clones, only Paladins stay afloat and it's because it's F2P.

Why not both?

Why not feet?

I always knew it was a subhuman fetish.
Now I finally have proof.

Holla Forums only likes moderately suggestive images of underage girls and cuckold porn.

...

I was talking about the pedowood kikes being all over underage feet because it's the most kosher fetish that they can use to satisfy their degeneracy.

They thought listening to the virtue signalers was going to make them fat stacks.
I mean, they're so many of them! Look how vocal they are on twitter and tumblr! Of course they'll all buy their great game filled with hot sexy strong independant women who don't need no man like this!

more mei

Lots of games bomb OP. At least this one was just mainstream triple A multiplayer shit.

I'm glad it bit them in the ass because they people dont play games at all, they only complain about them like Holla Forums. But for them to invest this much into a game is crazy when all they have is the fading popularity of the first two Borderlands games.


Its basically a joke at this point, like a chinese bootleg of Overwatch.

...

Holla Forums really does buy videogames at least and that's really as much as needs be done. Just look at DoAX3. I bought it anyway.

Stillborne had one thing running for it that they had to burn to the ground: The Coop content.
The PC version was really messed in this part, but, if this game could have an efficient coop with local split screen and wasn't always online for single player content, this shit could have a unique place in the race.
But of course, 2K and Gearbox could not allow themselves to have a slightly chance in this derby.
These are some really stupid companies.
By the way, have some tumblr and deviant.

Egyptians confirmed for Aryan Master Race

Have you seen Paladins before Overwatch was revealed?

Also, I'm not acti-blizzard's drone.

For me, it was hearing about this disaster.

I don't care what 'body positive' messages these Tumblrinas see. Ugly is ugly.

That orange witch girl is probably the only decent looking female character. But then she opens her mouth and it's fucking Ashley Burch screaming into the mic trying to be ZANY & RANDOM. Any chance of a boner you had is lost as your dick has shriveled up like a Raisin.

what baffles me most is the confidence they had in this game to send it out against overwatch. now overwatch isn't hot shit itself but it is simply a better constructed game with much more advertising money behind it. then the guys are gearbox slap battleborn together, you can't tell what the fuck battleborn is from screenshots or commercial footage, and you can't tell what the hell is going on with their bonkers character designs. go look at any yahoo from overwatch and you can probably guess their role in the game, now try that for half of battleborns cast. or better yet try to explain what the point of battleborn even is.

so gearbox has this clusterfuck of a game and somehow have the balls long enough to say "yeah we'll release this around the same time as a a much more huge somewhat similar game, and we'll charge more for it too"

...

I followed my father to a camestop to make sure he didnt buy anything retarded, and I saw battleborn on the wall for $10 dollars.

And apparently Red Dead Redemption 2 is only coming to consoles.

that was suppose to say Scamstop.

Battleborne probably could have stood a chance with better marketing. I can't even name 1 character from it. Just descriptions of what they look like… kinda. If they released some videos like Team Fortress did with their "MEET THE..X" to introduce us to characters and their abilities, it probably might have had some ground to stand on.

overwatch did similar with its big blizzard CGI trailers, so yeah you're right gearbox really shoulda tried to get people to even recognize stuff from their game

This is the only one Mei/overwatch picture I have

im glad it flopped
i still want to fuck the butler robot though

Holla Forums is sleeping on this game. There's a reason casuals didn't pick up on it. Think.

Why didn't you niggers eat a good breakfast this morning? dobn't you know that shit is the foundation of a good day? Instead you just had that and started your shitposting. If you had set aside fifteen minutes you could have had hashbrowns, bacon, eggs, and coffee. Now doesn't that sound so much better?

...

But sir, rapid weight loss comes with severe depression, for when you just work and sleep, and say to hell with eating, you have a ZERO CALORIE DIET.

you mean 9999999 calorie diet of pure binge food?

Overwatch is copying tf2 so hard that even its bow guy has as shit hit detection as skillsman in tf2.

UGH JEEZ HERE YOU GO

Their coverart was shit too. Looks like some generic movie that flopped and they made the THQ shovelware adaptation.

They were expecting to turn this shit into the next e-sports franchise. They had merchandise lined up and everything, and it fucking bombed. I hear it needed to sell a minimum of 500k to break even, just to break even mind you, and it didn't even reach that mark. They lost a substantial amount of money on this shit

Nice trips for starters, and on the contrary the Borderlands is probably the only thing that got them some sales in the first place.
Their problem was directly competing with Blizzard right out the gate and on top of that the last time Gearbox was in big headlines was the stink around them siphoning funds from Colonial Marines in order to further pad Borderlands 2. That bad press sticks around with the usual crowd that tries to stay informed and probably stigmatized them (For example look at how Pre-Sequel flopped, so bad that the Australian branch in charge of it closed up and they couldn't even afford to release all their planned DLC)

The only people buying Battleborn are diehard fans, or the small amount of Contrarian fans who want to 'stick it' to Blizzard. I unfortunately know one of such people and they're a complete fucking drone
He actually owns Overwatch and spurdo'd hard over it from Closed Beta to full release
Above are his usual go to points whenever its brought up in conversation.
That last bit actually the closest thing to a sensible argument I could get out of him to be hones but it's when he tries to talk other people into buying it that I get annoyed.

Also embed related since no one has posted it yet.


Don't fucking go there man, TF2 is not like any of these games other than the fact that you're killing eachother while trying to accomplish an objective. TF2 is equipment based and has actual customization, Overwatch Battleborn, Gigantic, and all these other new HERO based shooters are based around unique characters with set inventory and active skills. It doesn't hold up and full all the people who keep saying it.
