If 2k themselves are burying it, is it officially that dead?

Reminder that even Evolve has more players than Battleborn.

How the hell did those shitty ugly character designs get approved?

Wow, gay fucking thread. At least post some of that NSFW Battleborn rule 34 I've been hearing so much about!

pathetic

Wait, as in Evolve right now? I dont even know if thats saying much since fucking Homefront the Revolution of all things is beating Battleborn.

Fuck, didnt write.

Anyways its not so much why everyone is ugly but Randy wanted a game where Master Chief, a jedi, and a wizard all fought side by side.

...

Im still waiting for it to be free.

I agree with this fine gentleman.

What do you mean, anons? Are you two implying that these outstanding characters that each took more effort to make then every borderlands character combined don't mesh well at all?

they implemented a stand based character but in a shit game.

DAILY REMINDER

You are not Randy Pitchford.

You guys are advertising it a lot fucking more than their creators themselves.
I didn't even know about this game until you started shilling it

seriously, why havent they made it free yet with the option to buy cosmetics?
its stupid

Does it really matter at this point, nobody here aside from that one autist who played over 300 hours is going to buy this pile of shit, and apparently, neither did anyone else.

OMFG STOP SHILLING SHILL YOU SHILL STOP SHILLING SHILL!

I actually heard from it first here, I then downloaded the beta and played abot 50 hours of it, I liked it a lot so I bought it because it was cheap (about 30€) I then played 100 hours and then unistalled it and I didn't touch it since, I don't regret my 150 hours because I found the game very fun, but I do regret a lot my 30€, even if it's concretely pretty much nothing, the fact that I supported Pitchford make me wince. I didn't know anything about the guy and the devs at the time, I honestly based my judgement 100% on the game

user, it was born dead.
This is just the flies circling over the rotting corpse.

I would play it if it was free just so that i could shit on it

How the flaming fuck did you not know, it's mentioned in almost every single thread involving a game made by them, including this one pre release.

lol
It was more like
Like this for fucking months. You advertised it since its creation
Even if the message is negative, it sticks in your mind.

I swear I'm not a newfag, I probably heard things about a "Pitchford", but the only thing I knew was the shit humor in Borderladns 2 and Anthony Burch, I had no idea about the grand scheme of things.

Because paladins is free.

Paladins even any good? I don't hear about it much.

Shouldn't you be in the Battleborn subreddit you like so much?

The game's daily audience peaked at 170-190 before this sale, and even now, when they've cut 3 quarters of the asking price, it still struggles to break 200 concurrent players, with a current player count of 225.
Here's caps of other games for comparison, grabbed from steamdb.

You sure showed me, great job.

So you are that faggot then?

Probably not since it's the first tim I out myself about Battleborn.

More comparisons for Blunberborn, because it's fun to laugh at how badly a relentlessly hyped AAA release is doing.

Was it ever hyped at all? I don't remember it being advertised anywhere.
I mean, when a friend bought it for me, on the condition to play it together, I didn't even know the game was out.

And then the spiral downwards happened: shitty optimization on EVERY map, most of the cast was boring, with some exceptions, boring levels, boring story, broken gameplay because on PC snipers were gods and on console they weren't, slow huge updates that took ages because console/pc parity… but we all know that.

But back to my previous point, I don't think the game was hyped at all. Specially when it was overshadowed by Overwatch. But I could be wrong for all I know.

It's f2p overwatch that started off okay but is now literally p2w since hi rez is retarded and is pulling T:A again by adding a third currency that you use to buy cards that sometimes dramatically change your stats and abilities.

Compared to just about every other game I've posted, it was hyped as hell.
I sure as hell don't remember Dominions 4 or No More Room in Hell showing up at any major game conferences.

WHAT A SURPRISE


HuniePop

Battlefront 2 was hyped EVERYWHERE, and with good reason; Goat Sim, NMRiH and Contagion got the youtube let's play treatment of hype; HuniePop was hyped because stupidity;
U wot.
The only ones that didn't are SoaSE and Doms 4 because they're too niche for the market to try to hype.

Still, when your marketed AAA release is barely pulling ahead of a Swedish history professor's hobby project, you fucked up beyond words.

Surge incoming!

That is true, but to say that Battleborn was hyped is to WANT to be debunked.

All I remember about battleborn before it released was A SINGLE video from The Know I was linked to and told to watch on a dare.
Got a hundred for it a week later.

Just from the video I embedded earlier, stillborn had a conference somewhere, an IGN feature, and at least one tourney.
You may not have seen it, but between that and the reported budget, it's enough to count as "hyped-up AAA release," especially compared to the comparatively ancient Battlefront 2 and AoE 3, the extremely niche SoaSE and Guilty Gear, and the previously mentioned Swedish history professor's hobby project.

Seriously, for the amount gearbox invested in this shit the return is downright shameful.

Its a fantastic failure, they sunk more into this than Borderlands evidently and it backfired incredibly.

Gearbox.
Anything they do BY THEMSELVES is shit.
The only exceptions are the Brother in Arms series.
Half life expansions don't count because they're not an in-house production, they're based off another game.

However it is true, a AAA game failing this hard is glorious and shameful at the same time.


Oi I still play it from time to time. Then again I'm also playing ballisticng so it might just be that I like racing.

You are an ok person in my books.

katie t3h penguin of d00m looks pretty cool.

Played it for a while since got it super cheap. The gameplay itself was pretty fun, but it needed more and better maps and game modes. Also, it ran like shit on my older rig. Big mistake for a game that wants to maintain solid player base.

it looked fun from what ive seen but i really couldnt justify paying that 60 dollar price tag. nice quads by the way.

Thank fucking god.

Some of the characters are okay. Just the symptomatic problem of the MOBA aspect where they just create a wide range of characters who have very little cohesion that they belong in the same universe. I'm assuming they come from different planets but that doesn't excuse it when there are characters that are literal caricatures of human anatomy when some don't even follow a somewhat similar style. Loadout! has a more consistent design than Battleborn.

Battleborn character design is mixture of lack of cohesion, too overly designed and yet turns out generic. Who would want to play these characters, let alone make porn of them?

Post an image of one of them.

Differentfag here,

I don't play nor do I care about Battleborn but maybe these 2?

Those numbers on Postal 2 are single player game numbers I think? I just checked the servers on MP and it has only one players in one server atm

It's "in game" as in "someone is currently playing this game with Steam active", so yeah single player games will appear.

Not in a million years
The only positive thing you can say about it is that its not offensive. But even then the face, shading and textures make her look like garbage. I don't want to bother going more in depth. Its Battleborn.

Paladins dropped from 5th to 15th in top played games on steam.

Fucking unbelievable, I tell you.
Could have become Overwatch's rival.

Not sure about PC, but im pretty sure the console version was published by gearbox themselves.

WEW

There are retards (shills) that actually believe this.

SWBFII first released on DVD! Then came GOG and steam. If anyone buys online DRM version he's a fucking idiot. The studio which made it got eaten by EEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
No point in buying it. Just get GOG version.
Proof that EA fires everyone after 2 years and steals franchises:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic_Studios
EA's SWBF2 is already in the making. I could cry. :(

...

someone here have a screencap of that thread?

At its core its a pretty decent game but it has a LOT of small issues that end up being very frustrating. Worth checking out if you want something to stomp around in, impossible to take seriously with all the issues and the other problems that come with F2P games, you don't run into English players often even at the higher ELOs and cheating is very easy to do since the anti cheat is practically non existent. I probably have another 300 hours on the game at least from pre-steam release and I'm sitting in the top 1% in win loss/time played for context.

HiRez tends to balance more around the casual players then the skilled players so they make a lot of stupid choices but few devs don't do that.


They back stepped on that hard, the third currency is still stupid as shit but its a complete non issue now. If you play the game to the point you even notice the different loadouts you'll have more then enough essence to get everything you need. I only play the daily wins and I have enough essence to unlock all the content for the next few releases even if I stopped playing for a while. Next patch they'll be allowing the disenchant of useless cards too.


I'm surprised it even stays that high, especially with so many releases coming out lately.


In terms of shitty f2p games to lose time to, you could do much worse. I don't think it would be worth starting unless you really needed an FPS fix and really enjoy payload style game play. I enjoy it far more then I do OW but your mileage may very. Buy reflex and get good at that instead, more rewarding.

This is too good to be true. Please someone confirm that gearbox is broke.

Paladins also seemed to attract ASSFAGGOT kids who would blame everyone around them while being shit or give up before the game even begins.

They're (((remastering))) Bulletstorm and adding Duke Nukem as a bonus character. Tell me that isn't a proof that they're desperate…

Well yeah its mostly actual children who play these games, I've found most people are fairly chill though at least in comparison to other games. Or they just talk in that tropical mexican language at which case I just assume they're ranting about tequila and burritos.

Reminder that Awesomenauts remains the only good ASSFAGGOTS because platformer is the only format that's good for it.

Is the birth of a new epic meme?

2 and 3 are stupid enough to be SMT4 designs.

If only the game didn't have this, then it could've actually been good.

To give you an idea of how much they spent, they had huge double-size advertisements on the walls of London's busiest tube stations.
As comparison, the only other game I've seen advertised there was single-size ads for Resident Evil 7.

...

Paladins has the cutest girls of any ASSFAGGOT on the market today and that's really all that matters with this genre. If I wanted a shooter I have Unreal.

I TOLD YOU THIS EXACT SHIT WOULD HAPPEN. I TOLD YOU NOT TO TRUST HI-REZ BUT YOU DID ANYWAY

Gearbox deserves more misfortune and bad karma coming their way for robbing Sega blind.

DAILY REMINDER THAT BLIZZARD WON THE GREAT WAIFU WAR OF 2016, AND DROVE GEARBOX INTO POVERTY AND PITCHFORD EVER CLOSER TO SUICIDE

r

I'm usually the last to sound the shill alarm, but seriously?

I still blame them for causing most of Sega to undergo lay offs in 2012 and preventing them from putting out the supposed Shenmue HD remakes.


I still dont know why it takes game devs so long to realize nobody wants to play as a visually unappealing character

Mushroom assassin is the only one I can say where I genuinely like the design.
The second thing looks like a complete piece of shit, but I like the idea of what looks like a single creature actually being made up of a bunch of other sentient organisms. Good thing that idea's been done in other areas.

...

Wouldn't even bother if it were free. Because I don't want to be a part of their figure when they go free to play and brag about their 3 million registered users.

Is it too early to call the Current Year + 2 winner?

how the fuck she can see the screen if that thing is all over her eyes man? you're breaking my immersion hard

Keep it up for Harambe, guise

I grant you that it's better than what most companies shit out, but it's still such abhorrent crap that I really don't see what is there to celebrate

For the longest time, I thought that one on the right was a screenshot from Wildstar.

that's because most players just stick with TF2, instead of going to Overwatch or Battleborn.


I have the CG porn art scenes already. The art is pretty poor anyway, one girl's spread vagina is a flat surface with no hole going into it. And since I hate tacked-on broken dating sims, I can just play Bejeweled instead, since at its core the game is a wannabe Bejeweled clone that's not even as good as a game I can play in a browser for free.

You know what, user? I just realized how completely Battleborn looks like some really cheap DotA/LoL clone made by a team of slaves in some giant Chinese telecom.

Everything looks so bland and uninspired and not at all like the process of genuine creative thought.

Overwatch has surpassed tf2 in popularity

See Overshit in 9 years

I wonder what's the next milked genre is gonna be. They can't make ASSFAGGOTS and dayz/minecraft clones forever either.

Battleborn is the Jeb! of videogames

...

I'm legitimately curious what the state of Overwatch will be in 9 years' time. I genuinely like the game, and it's probably the closest thing to vanilla TF2 right now. I don't know how it's possible to fuck up a game like that, but then, I said the same thing about TF2 and look where that got me.

no?

Haha, look goy, the game is only 7 dollardoos! G-goy?

The biggest irony right now is that more people are buying or playing Borderlands 2 and PS instead of this. Its almost as if most Gearbox fans hate Battleborn.

Dubs never lie

If I remember right that reddit was created a couple hours before he posted it. What intern had the task of searching for battleborn porn to post before they made that reddit?

this game does that poorly? what the hell? i play it all the time and love it, usually singleplayer/couch coop with my brother but every time ive tried online i get a full game, didn't think it was that ded, i have to play online more just so they get more players

even tf2 now is more balanced than overwatch

LOL

...

Jesus christ, how did I ever miss that?

Give it a few months, at least.

...

ALL UNITS BE ADVISED
FEMINISM IS AWESOME

Has this game even been cracked? Or is the interest so fucking low it one of those titles?

It's four years old at this point i think and steam version alone sold 900.000 units.
It did fine.

What would be the point of pirating this game? I doubt it has lobbies or direct connect, probably just matchmaking.

Actually, there was a thread some months ago where an "user" came in to say that not only has the game been cracked but it's cracked mp also works online.
Most people laughed the op out of the board.

For a bunch of people who hate this game and gb, you sure do have a lot of successful threads for it.

...

Huniepop is higher than Battleborn. It is close weeb fighting game and autistic god simulator.
Ok enough internet this info is good enough to make me happy to the end of a day.

id pay 7 dollars for it if it werent a ghost town

...

...

That's like a third of the people who are actually playing the game.

...

Shitposting on a shit game is more fun than playing the shit. It's pure schadenfreude and it's delicious.

If you actually played the game you'd know the answer to that question. Now go play it you fucking faggot.

It's almost like the content of the posts is important.

Kill me.

...

Well, it is a monday.

I can understand - why even trying this assfaggots autism if you already have a multiplayer in borderlands with similar gameplay and diablolike loot?

wats this 3d software, it looks like sfm but with bright colors making the image looks some sort of sfm but with toys.

3/5 wanks, feels like the Lucky charms of porns.
