Financial failure I hope?

...

Wait, Battleborn released over a week ago? I only started hearing about it a couple days ago, I assumed it was coming out later this month. Christ.

I didn't even know Battleborn was a thing until a week ago. And I think I'm at least adequate at keeping up with video game news.

I want it to kill gearbox and put randy on suicide watch.

...

Waking up to what?

ITT we post blunders of the century.

Sometimes I like to try to imagine how board meetings goes after such blunder. An amiibo sold more than this pile of shit game.

So did anyone on Holla Forums make the mistake of purchasing Stillborn? I'm curious to hear just how bad it is, but no one I know fucked up badly enough to actually pay money for it.

To Gearbox's bullshit. Not even Memelands 3 will save them now.

So, what does this mean for overwatch?

Is FPS ASSFAGGOTS dead on arrival?

Where are these stats from, specifically?

Steam public profiles.

The numbers aren't perfect, since it doesn't account for private profiles, but it gives a decent ballpark.

No console numbers though, and we know console people are more starved for games, even shitty mobas disguised as fps.

So it's not the total, but you can compare it to other games, then.

How long until it's f2p?

I hope so. The more stupid new ideas that die right away the better.

Probably never. AAA games nowadays are fire and forget borderline scams. They make a shitty game but hype it through social media and other cancerous platform to sell as much preorders as possible. Then they forget about it and start to work on the next scam.

Never saw any sale stats for that game after the initial one. Was it a failure?

really?

HEH

EA don't even acknowledge it exists anymore. Barely any DLC, many Bioware employees "left" after.

Pretty sure it is.

But that obviously didn't work, or they would have had reasonable sales. Surely they would go to plan B.

Really. Best not to give people the idea there was ever a "before" they can study from in hopes they can salvage this sub genre.

VGCharts are usually optimistic, but even they said it's a fail (depends on the budget, of course)

What the fuck is battleborn

When the fuck did this game even come out?

I think it's more due to the fact that they released a generic product in a saturated market with no marketing at the exact same time the most heavily-marketed product to ever exist in that market was released.

Seriously, like said, I keep up with vidya too and the first thing I even heard of Stillborn was in some image listing all the ASSFAGGOTS-like team game shit coming out.


You got any sauce you could link for that? Half of my normalfag guildies were playing it and I'd seen something or other that made me think it might've sold decently, I was pretty bummed. Would feel good to have some proof it bombed.

2 million would be a great number for anyone but EA, Square Enix, or Capcom.

heh

Huh, so it was.

And so another shitty developer learns that F2P games are called free-to-play for a reason.

I'm dying here user, go to their subreddit, it's even sadder than Evolve.

If it weren't for constant threads on Holla Forums about it I wouldn't have even known Battleborn was a thing.

So good work doing marketing for Gearbox I guess.

There were Holla Forums threads? Because this is the first time I've heard of it, guess I wasn't paying attention

I don't care for any of these two stupid games, but I feel like all the Stillborn mockery threads are a way to sway idiots into not buying that and to buy Overwatch instead. Holla Forums never cared that much for OW and now fapbaot threads will have a lot of Tracer/Mei/D.va shit. Who cares if the game is shit, hot chicks right? But OW.

Its not like most of Holla Forums plays assfaggots anyway. Noone here is going to buy it.

I didn't notice that haha

Excuse me, they are unofficially called CRAPCUNTS (Comprehensive Roster of Abnormal Player Character-Underpinned Netplay Team Shooter)

Overwatch won't seem like it'll be a massive trainwreck, probably because of Actiblizzards loyal fanboys

the epic jar is filled, now i can go to japan and have sex with an JAV actress

kek

Also
reddit.com/r/Battleborn/
this is just fucking depressing

I thought the A stood for ASSFAGGOTS.


Reminds me of the windows phone reddit.

Doesn't fit as good as "Aeon of Strife Styled Fort Assault Game Going On Two Sides" does, it literally describes what a MOBA is.

Never heard of this game, wonder why people even cared, then
I just noticed

PFFHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Apperantly, it also has anthony burch writing for it and ashley burch VAing for it.

Burch doesn't work at Gearbox anymore

I don't really understand how you can fuck up a Team Fortress 2 clone in 2016, but I guess it's possible.

seems more like this game is putting them to sleep.

...

what the fuck

It;s not surprising. I'm impressed there are people who can keep up with all the generic TF2 clones coming out to compete with Overwatch when they all look exactly the same. I have to wonder how this even happened, surely they didn't all want to compete with Overwatch yet they were all announced at around the same time. Did all the AAA companies take advice from the same "inudstry expert" or something?

I understand

it's still funny

what a cuck

...

...

it wouldn't surprise me if this whole shootermoba or whatever you want to call it wave is just a manufactured stunt to make Overwatch look better while all the other publishers are none to wiser.

Nice full house user.

...

...

...

...

What is this game and where is the porn?

Some things to understand about DA:I.

It was their longest development time for a game at post-EA Bioware. It was new tech (Frostbite), so you can assume they put a lot of money into it. Just look at all the new art assets, the huge zones, et cetera. None of that stuff was cheap to make, even if it felt completely worthless to the gamer.

It wasn't a complete bomb, but it was certainly a bomb relative to what Bioware wanted, and I'm certain EA suits were not pleased with the result. This was their attempt to go full Skyrim mainstream, hence the open world design that feels like a bad MMO. It resulted in a game that sold worse than previous titles in the same series.

what is battleborn and why should i care?

Sounds like Gearbox needs to shit out another Borderlands as soon as possible.

imagine someone who can't even balance a game where you stack numbers and hit mostly stationary targets correctly. now imagine them making a pseudo-competitive shooter.

that's Battleborn.

...

Man, at least Evolve had Wraithposting.

What the fuck can one even do to this pathetic product? Are there even shills for this thing?

How close does this get Gearbox to bankruptcy?

i wanna meet the marketing guys on this one, the guys who said "oh yeah release this in the same month as overwatch"

This kills the Gearbox or at least their partership with 2K

they're a private company, unfortunately, so they can more easily cook the books and fool investors into keeping them afloat.

Nah man, they killed whatever "cred" they had with A:CM.
Nobody will hire a company that will embezzle their money for their own personal projects and shit out an abomination that will land them a lawsuit for false advertising, costing the ip owner millions of dollars.

More like piss them off, and have unfortunate events come upon them.

Let me tell you that producers are one thing to have in your hands, but investors? Fuck, as if you'll live to see the next day, at least without someone breathing down your neck.

Blunder thread?
Blunder thread.

The only times I've heard anything about this game was a video title on youtube "The problems with Battleborn" (didn't watch) and seeing a picture of some weirdly proportioned elf character and thinking it might be sufficient for some barely passable r34.
Is there any?

I don't know about you guys, but I don't even find any of the characters attractive enough to warrant porn like the Wraithposting did. The females are either ugly as shit, or have some crazy bad anatomy or proportions going on.
It's a weird day when I find a xenomorph rip-off more sexy than a dark skinned elf like Battleborn has.

tomb raider was another one of those retarded marketing moments

"lets release this game in the same month as fucking fallout 4 what could go wrong?". are these guys that confident in their game that they think it can compete with a big name like that, or do they just want the gmae to die

...

Lol no.

To be fair, that "xenomorph rip-off" was pretty alluring, alone. It was sort of meant to happen. Really.

You need a good mix of cute and sexy girls. Battleborn has neither. The art is awful.

What the actual fuck? How much money was spent on making this game's extras? 10 cents?

Though Sega lost the lawsuit against GearBox. Also what happened to the guy that using GearBox for false advertising??

That's because fear boner is best boner.
Fear love is best love.

Indeed.

Those were the days.

He won and sega had to pay him on and a half million dollars.


Here's another one for you

...

...

Overwatch won't be a trainwreck in the monetary sense because they've designed it for mass appeal. It looks like a pixar movie and plays like league+tf2

Really? So he robbed Sega, ruined their IP and on top they had to pay the faggot for doing? Talk about fucked up.

I wish zenimax games were such blunders

...

They are, but all bethesda has to do is shit out Skyrim 2 and make one billion dollar easily.
And they are making their own, notheartstone as well.

Oh shit, i forgot the evil within.

Welcome to the justice system

...

>blizzard kills battleborn via aggressive marketing.

Don't be so sure, user.

If Gearbox spent a few years on Battleborn (which I think they did), and it came out earlier this week with goddamn near no marketing what so ever, that should say a lot about their potential financial situation.

And to launch their own crappy Wildstar-looking MOBA/TF2-clone against Blizzard's much more popular and more widely known Wildstar-looking MOBA/TF2-clone while the original TF2 and Moba scenes are both still healthy is.. well, remember how well Warface worked out for Crytek?

Yep.

Zeni is one high profile failure away from having their Bioshock Infinite moment where the whole ship capsizes. If, for example, the next Skyrim is shit and doesn't sell, or hell, doesn't sell to meet their projections? I'd expect Zeni to go full scorched earth and start closing pocket studios (like id, Splash Damage, Zenimax Online, etc) to appease the shareholders.

Could be an interesting next few years.

I'm also glad to see Battleborn fall on its face because Gearbox is a shitty company.

Also

Please tell me there's more

don't forget Wet.

And here we have the primary reason this game failed. When your marketing is so bad that even the core gamers dont know when your game is going to come out, you're not going to be able to compete with something that has been marketed for casuals for almost a year now.

Or Demigod for MOBAs.

kek

...

!!!

Ahah. Oh fuck. I didn't even notice, jesus christ, what a joy. Maybe that's why their female characters all look ugly as shit, they're socially engineered to be diverse and gender fluid bull dykes.

Holy shit, that has to be a fan made thing… Surely.

Now the day seems to be much nicer
Thank you user

More like stillborn.

I hate how everyone in this thread holds up a screencap of battleborn's steamspy stats the day of release. The creator of steamspy himself said that steamspy needs atleast 1 month to produce somewhat realistic numbers.


The number of owners for Rise of the Tomb Raider rose to 720k. So it more than doubled your numbers.

Maybe there will be bird posting from it.

Inquisition and the DLC are all part of Origin Access, wew

...

INSIIIIIIIIIDE, duh.

Just like how the reddit and twitch numbers are a month behind.

Fuck all multiplied by two is still fuck all by the way. Due to the incompetence of the publishers and developers these games have mammoth budgets and need to sell millions to break even.

Here the probably

I like battleborne

...

ya its a shitty company but fuck does the battleborn play far better then overwatch does.

...

it really is at this point.
overwatch is cheaper but like 20 bucks but fuck does it play like shit with its 20tick servers basically fucking me as an alaskan i'd be 100% support and shit but that is about it.

played beta battleborn fucking played fucking awesome but then the humor and everything else was starting to get to me, thou all the extra shit you can earn for classes was cool

and blizzard is expecting overwatch to be fucking esports with its shitty servers

Gearbox has some experience making shooters compared to Blizzard's none(?) Even if Gearbox's are boring at best, it's still better than having no experience making them

He threw a spergfit once people started making fun of him for all those buzzwords

What is this? He is using it like it's a pro but it just sounds like "not industrial grade" to me.

Industrial grade materials are actually lower quality than normal ones, the purpose of them is that you buy them cheaply and in bulk.

It's a buzzword. It's just supposed to sound nice.

He really should have said Industrial Grade, then.

I work in machinery so "industrial grade" means "it won't break down and cost you production but it's not going to be cheap".
As for chemical reagents it's lab grade > food grade > industrial grade.

The figure looks happier than the actual character.

It might be a bootleg-looking mutant but at least it isn't trapped in a shitty game.

BULLY THIS NERD


Damn, that really illustrates how dead the game is. It really has failed.

...

Total Asscancer is shilling for it every opportunity he gets.

open beta

we know you are.

...

God damn.

...

...

so when is volvo throwing their hat game competitive thing into the mix?

...

...

It's kinda pathetic really
I mean sure poor cuck needs money to feed other man's child and fight his cancer, but come the fuck on.

What do you mean? TF2 is the one that started all this a long time ago.

yeah but they were making some kind of ranking system so they could stay relevant when blizzard made overwatch

All I remember hearing is that a ton of prolific players got banned because Valve finally got around to countering a several-years-old hacking peripheral.

I don't think they'll have much issue staying relevant, Overwatch is just a simplified version of TF2 with less consistent visuals and characters and it actually costs money.

The game gets super boring after you play 10-20 matches because there isn't nearly as much emphasis on teamwork or skilled play.

He's been pretty vocal about his love for (S)MNC, and Battleborn is the first successor in the genre. You're surprised like someone who sees a Dark Souls fan talk about how much they like Bloodborne.

this was on sale for $14 inthe first month it came out on PC

Mother fucker.

the PVE aspect is like the least appealing part of battleborne, overwatch was slick by just taking moba hero skills and slapping them onto TF2 game modes, battleborn copy pasted the whole MOBA formula into a shooter

What the fuck were they expecting.

Also

It drew in too many different games' concepts in too shallow a way, and the heros are mostly shit. I ignored the MOBA part because >ASSFAGGOTS
Then I saw the $60 price tag and laughed my way to the uninstall option.

And you're going to shell 60 dollars, riiiiight?
No, you stupid nigger, no one will from hearing about it on Holla Forums

If you wanted to check it out, most people would have downloaded the beta when that was up. It was pretty shitty. How can you think to make a sub 30 fps game an e-sport? It felt like borderlands in all the wrong ways. Clashing art style, environments and effects that littered the screen when in combat.

The only decent thing was that moba x fps mode. The idea actually works. Though, the mode where you have to destroy 2 enemy robots that are bullet sponges and take forever to destroy unless you have a good sniping spot because the thing can fight back if you're to close. You have 30 minutes to compete and most games can end in no robots destroyed. I don't think there are draws but they calculate who performed better or how much shield & health the robot has.

Story mode is really just loot grinding game and a way to force you to unlock characters for the game for the "replay" value. It's pretty lackluster, especially if you have to pay money for it. Seems more like should be a free to play game.

...

Ever since Anthony Burch came into my life, I have never been depressed. It is great to have some cuck take it all for you.

...

...

10 outta fucking 10

60 dollars is a ridiculous asking price for a successor to a free to play game

are they SJWs in any way? i dont want to feel sorry for them, but i kinda do. the game is kinda lame, i tried the beta (but admittedly not the multiplayer portion). and they seemed so excited about it and did a good job marketing it.

is there any reason i should hate gearbox and not feel sorry for them?

did you forget about borderlands, duke nukem forever, and colonial marines?

...

hownew.ru

season passes which dont include everything.
i feel bad about it, i dont feel bad for gearbox but i feel bad what could be a successor to monday night combat is a flop.

Abso-fucking-lutely. Or at least one of their former writers, Anthony Burch, was.

And to think Dorito Pope shilled this as GOTY for his yearly shill show.
also

"negative marketing is still marketing" tactics only works on large groups of uncritical idiots. i think most of us here understand the negative response and do our part to correct the gullible.


"I PLAN TO SPEND MY ENTIRE LIFE IN THE FETAL POSITION PITY ME"
jesus christ

OP, I hope the game fails as well, but you're being pretty misleading. It only came out a few days ago, you gotta wait for at least two weeks before making judgement on the sales.

...

Please, if it was going to be big it would have made a killing in the first few days as other games do. It will get more players, but nowhere near as overwatch.

If you saw his face while announcing it you would know he was mad pissed and maybe even unaware of it
Shilling is his punishment

You forget that they probably spent close to 200 million dollars making that turd.

So anyone else think Blizzard payed Randy to rush this piece of shit out before OW? You know, in that people think OW is good compared to this steaming pile of shit?

2mil across 5 systems is pure shit man.

Sure, whatever you say buddy.

I had no idea this thing existed. Another sjw infected game?

Just playing Devil's Advocate. I remember people saying FO4 didn't sell as well as FO3 only a few days after it came out, even though it's overtaken FO3's sales since then.
It does look like it's going to be a failure, though. Even Dragon's Dogma had more sales than this six days after release and that was a port of a console came from last generation.

You know what else? Dragon's Dogma was a good game that had interesting, unique concepts and didn't feel like some desperate grasp at 'what the kids like right now' like Stillborn.

Is Gearbox in some kind of financial trouble or something? It seems odd that they'd work on this trash when it literally hasn't worked for any other company.

Someone was saying the memelands the prequel did bad, so that might be it?

I bet it did as well as Bioshock 2 did; probably enough sales to maybe break even, but nothing more. To the powers that be, it'd be a failure.

If Stillborn really tanks, I think Gearbox might be in a bad position. The first sign will be people leaving the company. If a bunch of people start quitting in a few months, then they're probably in a bad spot.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! WHAT IS THAT SHIT?

WAKE

You know if your pic was made into a game, it would sell like hot cakes.

It would sell like shit, user.

The Brony contingent is super niche, and the Brony Gamer sub-group is even more narrow.

I'd pirate it, mostly out of morbid curiosity.

Gearbox has a lot of experience making TERRIBLE shooters.

I'll take someone with no experience versus someone with a track record of 100% garbage.

...

I can't masturbate to this

well its their fault for not designing more hypersexualized lolicon fantasies

you know if you really don't like this game, just stop talking about it. All you are doing is making people more interested in it.

Probably would've helped them in the Asian markets. LoL banked really well on their fox girl

This is how retarded you sound.

where do you get that kinda info?

kek

I'm interested in getting battleborn and seeing how banal it is myself, since it's generating a lot of controversy.
Maybe this is retarded, but I've played a lot of great games that most people consider to be garbage.

...

...

steamspy.com, I think you have to register to see sales.

I wonder if Blizzard intentionally fucks over their competitors by doing stuff like this.

You know nothing about memetic engineering. What a shame.

Any kind of reference is always a reference. Anyone that didn't know about it now knows about it, but while the numbers of the few who will pass on the reference to others is small indeed, the passing is exponential, and so is worth the capture of even one passerby.

Though I have no qualms about neutral(as far as Blizzard can be considered neutral) memetic manipulation, I do have qualms about those who do not even have a basic grasp of the fundamentals of memetic manipulation when they are in the very place where this is being openly studied, and where information on the topic is numerous.

32

You'll spend $60 to see how bad a game is? Christ man, what's wrong with you?

I'll buy it twice just to spite you

While you're at it, go buy some of them nice 1k JPG from Shekel Citizen. That way you can stick it to us something good.

Am I being softly trolled? Or are people legitimately this stupid? Are you a millennial by chance?

It doesn't really matter, the fact is there are people who will do this and you're enabling them.

Then the only saving grace here is that these walking slugs, such as they are, will never be a large enough buying block to do anything to a game's success.

4chan is niche and 8ch is even more niche. Games like Stillborn don't survive from the, at best, 10k sales they might get from a site like this.

It's not just here man, meme magic works everywhere. The best way to get people interested in something is to generate controversy. How many forums do you think heard about the ass pose? Or blizzard treating fans like garbage?
People don't buy things because they think it's good, they do it because it's popular.

...

I think there has to be a fine balance for games coming out. There are 3 things that go into a purchase

Content. Quality of your product
Exposure. Recognition of your product
Finance. what will people pay

First I'll have to give Blizzard marketing a cookie. Even I cheered them on when they decided to make an ever more sexual pose of Tracer flaunting her ass. I was played like a fiddle into defending a company I hated. But that was all in all exposure. People are playing Overwatch for free right now. There are commercials on ESPN. There are stands of Tracer at the mall I just came back from. Once you have Exposure you're left with the last two ingredients. Content and Finance.

I also forgot to add my point. Stillborn has had none of that. They don't have the reach of Blizzard. Their name is tied to A:CM and DukeNukem4never as much as memelands so their recognition takes an automatic hit. And I know for a fact a company that was brain dead enough to employ Burch doesn't have enough brain capacity in all their employee's combined to trick me into helping their online controversy when they've danced the SJW tune almost like a robot. Even if they added a transgender polysexual wolfkin Muslim basketball player.

If this was doing well you'd know it would be proudly boasted at the usual shitholes.

...

Nobody will touch Gearbox and give them their ip's after what they did to Sega.

Swap that 'Even if' with 'Because'. I was actually thinking of getting the pre-sequel because while it was pretty crappy, Borderlands II was okay for a 75% off sale game with two of my friends, who'd got the pre-sequel.

I will not pay to be lectured to by some miserable, genuinely miserable and pitiful little shit about what a horrible person in my game just because he wants to foist his unhappy lifestyle on me. That one (three minute) speech murdered any interest I ever had in the game and I will never buy it because of it.

Ah right, I forgot about that.

Let me rephrase:

Nobody but the shittiest IP owners who don't care about their properties will license to Gearbox.

the best thing about Brlands 2 was dlc campaigns. the pirate one felt almost like the first game.

pre-sequel has no dlc and it's just a full-on burcholdry

You do realize that the game was given for free recently with Nvidia Graphics cards, which also sold decently because of the high requirement for new games such as Dark Souls III.

Pic related, my "free" game.

Overwatch is doing very good thanks to the porn meme.
You got played like a damn fiddle, Holla Forums.
No publicity is the worst thing that could've happened and yet you fell right into their trap, don't call it a grave.

Yep, Memerlands the Ausquel did so bad that two of 2Ks branches died because of it

pitchford did this to himself

...

I'm not really mad. Mostly because Blizzard did a heel-face turn as shocking as Hogan revealing himself to be part of the NWO. I never in a million years thought Blizzard would appease the ass autism. I was half expecting Tracer to get a burka. And the cherry on top was Gearbox taking a publicity black out.

It was pretty good from Gearbox's standpoint. They get revenue from licencing the Borderlands IP to 2K, damage to the brand is minimal since it isn't a main title and wasn't terrible, and all the burdens are borne by 2K. It's the kinda shit that they were tired of dealing with, and they turned it on a publisher.

...

their subreddit seems have either shills or gearbox fanboys.

They're attempting to start a legal battle with a disabled developer for the mobile version of Duke Nukem that was on contract with 3DRealms before Gearbox bought the contract. This includes a whole buncha beta/prototype versions of Duke Nukem, Doom, Shadow Warrior, stuff like that. Randy would rather we forget about it.

Also, one of their employees openly complained about Dragon's Crown being sexist. That's endlessly amusing when comparing it to Borderlands 2.

It is official.
They are now called CRAPCUNTS.

That's a shill, m8.
I can smell it from a mile away.

Odds that the campaign was just playing bots on each map with 0 story?

You haven't seen the guys trying to rationalize buying Overwatch in here huh?


I honestly don't know what I should have expected.

Meme magic is being used to kill gearbox.


I don't agree with your interpretation. The reality is we won and the SJWs/goons/islamists lost.


I like CRAPCUNTS because it works on multiple levels.

FIRE FOR EFFECT

GAZE UPON THIS
steamcharts.com/app/273350

That's what happens when you focus on e-sports and cosmetic DLC instead of making a fun game

And that's why everyone won't buy it

The market is flooded with F2P Moba's, even F2P FPS Moba's and Epic thought they could charge $60 for one

This backfired utterly spectacularly, and I hope other companies look at this and learn from it

IE - This is why there is no more P2P MMO's being made today and are all F2P, the consumer expects it and just plays them instead. WoW is literally the only exception to this ATM and that's due to players being unable to quit, not "Quality"

Those videos remind me of the days he shilled for Demigod. He really seems to like the idea of upgrading towers in MOBA-style games. Personally I didnt like that aspect in Demigod at all, probably wouldnt like it in Battleborn either, it means one of the teammates has to be the rest of the teams' bitch who selflessly puts all the money on the defences, then has a shitty game himself while everyone else takes the glory.

Battleborn being successful is just not going to happen, too many odds stacked against it like


And there must be something I'm forgetting here.

I loved MNC
I sort of liked SMNC
Battleborne is shit

(fucking checked)

My god this is delicious.

Nice tripdubs, user

From what I saw, this game could be kind of interesting with:

Basically, if it had this, I would call it a pleasant surprise. But no game company from today would ever do that really.

I can't say the idea of characters with unique powers in an arena is that bad, remember Spawn on the Dreamcast, it had this, and while it wasn't great, it was a cool game to play with friends.


I kind of enjoyed the vampire/healer Ambra style quite a bit. I'm surprised and saddened they decided to not add a bigger girls like Zarya or Amazon to this game. It's a way to show their lack of taste.

How long until they try to add Borderlands characters to this to try to bring those fans?

GearBox is SJW to all hell, all their female characters look like dog shit, and you know sex sells, just look at OW females. So much porn before the game is even fucking out.

About time the ARTS fad started to die out it overstayed its welcome, I would like the same fate for Overwatch but blizzdrones are as retarded as nintendrones and will buy anything made by blizzard.
The porns good though.

Is that shitty fanart or official? It's difficult to tell.

Fanart. I think the official are these ones.


I know they are SJW to the 11, but they probably know some of the stuff have to be sexy. I wonder if they did the bulky guys for that type of gay porn, I would not be surprised.
They at least have some interesting characters if compared to Paragon or Overwatch.
I found Overwatch to be way too much predictable: Angel lady cures and revives, gorilla can chimpout, big guy uses hammer, Clint have dead eye powers… Hell, for LoL users and to the people who freed themselves, Overwatch have a freaking purple lady called Evell… I mean, Widowmaker and for DOTA addicts or ex addicts, they have a big fat guy with a hook to pull enemy characters!
Overwatch and Paragon look much more generic that this trainwreck. At least there is that.

The character designs in Stillborn are fucking disgusting though.

I liked them. Frankly, I think it's the only thing I think the game have ahead of the competition. To me, it's better to be "bad" than generic.

Battleborn was fun to play
It's better then overwatch (Bastion or go home)
But even though I had a great time with the beta I ain't paying $100 AUD for it.
They failed in a lot of ways. Which is sad. Twas a fun little game and phoebe is great

This is fucking hilarious. I was like when I found out how big of a cuck Anthony Burch was about 4 months ago, it made me feel so much better about myself.

That reminds me, someone I know was actually complaining about how all of Overwatch's characters are playable from the get-go, instead of being like Stillborn where you have to go through all sorts of hoops to unlock them. He thinks it truly does give it more replayability that way. In a competitive multiplayer focused game. Fucker is so deep on Gearbox's cock, it amazes me. He doesn't even care how much of a scumbag Pitchford is, or how fucked Burch is, so long as the games are "fun".

No. They are obviously bad. Busy, confused, weird proportions, inconsistent and messy. Many of the male characters have tiny heads and the hands are often massive which look highly ridiculous from first person view.

I would rate the art direction and design as some of the worst I have ever seen.

You should not push this either, because I will do a full character by character take down of the art and destroy the game for good.

That's like saying pizza cutter sword is a better design than Geralt's swords because no one ever thought of it before.

...

Bad is better than generic. You look at it and it grind you gears, generic makes you just look the other way. See, you found a character that could work, a witch cowgirl. I mean, at right hands it could be great. But here it was really weird and, to make you even happier, voiced by a Burch if I'm correct. This is better than generic.


Dude, I'm not telling it's great, I said I find it better than Overwatch and Paragon, but I think it would be an interesting thing to see. Are you an artfag? Here, let me post more to trigger you.

By the way, about that pizza cutter sword…

Holy fuck talk about a shit animation. Song was fucking horrible, the models looked like utter shit, and the action sequence generic as fuck.

OK. Just remember "user" that you literally asked for it, so I can't be accused of rape.

...

Bring it!

...

Indeed, it seems like they wanted it, but could not pay for something as expensive as TF or OW ones.
I think they wanted something like Platinum did with Anarchy Reigns and MGR. But, no money makes a lot of difference.

For future use, user. Enjoy.

I'm having trouble understanding how you arrived to the conclusion that Battleborn isn't generic while Overwatch is.

They both are but Overwatch seems to have a tighter and more attractive theme. And at least some of the SFM porn is fappable.

Who would watch people play online poker? Isn't it stupid to show your hand in poker? Won't the screen become just a big black censor in poker?

Well, there is some stuff on pixiv. but very few really.
But no porn yet.

Looks a lot better as an uguu anime thing, not sure why. Maybe because they make the character "softer" looking. Do some touch-ups from here and I'd say it could be a cool design.

i-i searched too far, dint i?

I'm honestly really sad that Brink flopped the way it did because it was really close to being a good game.
The story would have also translated wonderfully to a comic format, but that's just me.

I found it charming how the mission cutscenes put the team's custom characters in it. Your reward for winning is getting to look stylish.

The setting was pretty cool too. They had pretty much everything to be good except the gameplay.

supervised and co-developed by Valve. Also over 15 years old. Staff changes over time.

holyshit, I thought those things were fan made. not official figures.

Yup, that's a marketing cunt at work.

holy shit is that even DSPs horrid voice i hear dissing the game in that webm?

...

Yes, it is. You know you fucked up when even DSP is right about your game being shit.

...

comparing opening months average. This game is fucked.

you think they'll try to sweep this under the rug or come up with some excuse

They won't mention it again. Worked with DNF. Most people already forgot they made that game (kinda).

Never gets old.

We may see a large marketing drive costing insano amounts of money trying to convince us all that's it's nothing like Overwatch. And we should try it… please. that will fail and it will be forgotten about. then they will either break up the studio or announce a new borderlands to try get monies.

Hurry up and burn GEARBOX. Devs that try to push your shitty narative should fuck of the industry

srais apparently doesnt even play evolve anymore.

i wonder how much he spent on DLC

I'm impressed how badly this went. Then again the only thing it had going for it is furbait and four armed magic lady.
Gearbox's weird anti-sexy movement is slowly killing them. They think their character designs sell but they don't realize that Dotaclones and Dota-but-FPS games sell almost purely by sex appeal. Nobody plays these games for gameplay, all they want to see is some titties or THICC or whatever dumb descriptor for a naked woman you can come up with. Put in some elves and monstergirls plus a few token furries and bam, instant sales. Instead we have like two or so attractive characters in an mess of an artstyle.

I hate gearbox for their sjw mindset but you're quite wrong that the game merely failed because of that. Previous games before with similar genre but still have sexy characters still didn't do as well. Sex doesnt define this genre.

I think the main reason why this failed is because they were seen to similar to Overwatch and released around the same time. This couple with their past work hasn't helped them in the least.

...

That's what I hate about it the most. Fucking hate that new age Pixar animation style, makes my stomach turn.

...

Oh boy.

Shame it gets so much hate.

Something wrong, user?

I would actually love that, as someone who does shitty art myself.

...

I may have failed college but at least I'm not a Burch or Pitchford.

Thanks for reminding me I'm not Anthony Burch. I needed that lift today.

...

Jesus those clothes look awful.

How can these developers even think mixing a FPS and a MOBA is a decent idea? At least it will not be laying alone in the garbage bin as there is that other flop Paragon.

I dont see how it is a bad idea it worked well in SMITE. Also Overwatch is not an ASSFAGGOTS it is a hero shooter it contains nearly no ASSFAGGOTS elements
