Fucking Mac book pro auto correct. I said players!

Microtransactions destroyed the reputation of PayDay 2, apparently Gearbox does not learn from the mistakes of others (or mistakes made by itself).

WAIFU DOESNT MEAN FAVORITE FAP GIRL GOD DAMNIT

But user, that is ugly as fuck.

...

...

How long has it been out for, 2 months?


Nice bait

Why did they think they could stand head to head against blizzard and their fuck huge marketing budget? Overwatch sold like 10 million copies, how much did battleborn sale? 1 million?
What a bunch of retards. They should've waited a month or two after overwatch and started an add campaign trying to win over people who were disappointed with overwatch.

That's just a really dumb oc donut steel character that you'd find on deviant art. Also, what's up with the hair looking like a plastic mold?

...

Stay triggered, wizard. That's what it means to anyone sane.

If you were sane you wouldn't be trying to hijack other people's things like a jew.

Why even bother? Nobody wants to play it. They should just abandon it and move on to something else

Best the makers borderlands can do I guess.

They spent too much money on it to ignore it. Hell borderlands 3 founds probably got postpone over Battleborn flopping.

Borderlands has better.

Hope you like traps. Didn't Anthony burch implied moxy was transgender all this time on Twitter or something? Also That one DLC and pre-sequel ruined moxy for me.

You can't top Tracer's cute ass.

Didn't play it but that explains why he's such a degenerate slut.

They're both goners since their playerbase is going back to LoL already.

She has a son. Also, rednecks can't into tranny.

...

QUADS DON'T LIE

Their forums are already filled with people who would ban Tracers ass in a heartbeat. So that ship has sailed for them, they chose their audience and SJWs dont actually buy or play games.

Gearbox or blizzards?

forums.gearboxsoftware.com/t/character-aesthetics-pushing-it-further/1494445

Is the Rumors are true Anthony burch a admin in the gearbox forms?

What is with the west and not knowing how to make attractive characters. Or rather, their fucking boners for cheekbones

...

...

They are just diverting attention away from the quality asses.

Also, google imagine search, you faggot. If you check the filename, you'd see that I didn't even save them.

that kid is like

...

I legitimately don't know what Battleborn is. I've heard the name thrown around a few times, but it sounds so bland I never even bothered finding out. It's a first person shooter?

...

...

Mr clean had a sex change?

An attempt at merging a MOBA with a FPS. It has been bombing and completely overshadowed by Overwatch's TF2 style gameplay.

...

Start archiving the Battleborn forms. Battleborns needs a ED page. Hell please share this link and screenshots with /cow/

Cant see the reason why, the game is dying faster than Evolve. People will forget about it much quicker as well I reckon. Just add it to the list of the many failed games that thought pandering to SJWs at the cost of the rest of the market would bring them money.

...

...

Evolve unlike Battleborn could of been a great game too. Hell Battleborn not even a good FPS or a moba. Honestly Smite is what Battleborn should of been like. Even smite a Better FPS/action game than battleborn.

I mean I'm not surprised but it's nice to see it once in a while.

Evolves problems were deep in the game design so not really.

SMITE was and always will be better than Battleborn. 20 million players worldwide vs 200-500. Its not even a competition.

Don't forget Smite actually good at producing waifu bait unlike gearbox. Smite one of the few western games not ashame of fan service.

I love it when the free market crushes stupid people.
It's just a good thing to see.

Why did they release this near Overwatch? I probably would have played it if they had waited a few months.

...

Gearbox thought borderlands was as popular and iconic as blizzard games.

Overwatch does good waifu bait.
Smite does good waifu bait. Why can't Battleborn do good waifu bait? Did Anthony burch cuck gearbox that badly?

Most likely they hired their character designers from San Fran like they did their writers. And from the same circle-jerk people like Burch belong to.

Calling it now. Moxy boobs will get smaller in borderlands 3.

Cause Blizzard, despite putting on a guise of "diversity" knows that sex sells and tricks people into thinking their waifus are progressive, when they're just fap fodder like all the rest.

Gearbox listens to SJWS and goes against the holy doctrine of marketing of SEX SELLS and makes their characters bland thinking that virtue signalers are a large market that will buy their game.

It's been proven in MMOs that no one likes playing ugly races in games. I don't know why people think people's opinions will change on this.

It's an arcadey TF2 clone with muh special powers, there's no Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides, it's fucking control point/payload/control point then payload.

Here me out, what if it's Gearbox doing 99% of the comparisons to Overwatch because they thought they could trick blizzkids that their waifu were better and then lock everything behind a massive grindwall? They tried to appeal to two markets (mobafags and waifufags) and missed both. Bankruptcy when?

...

Q. Why is Overwatch beating us?
A. Overwatch has lots of sluts & erotic fan art
Conclusion. Add sluts & erotic fan art.

Well, they're not entirely wrong, but their game will still fail because of the godawful tryhard "comedy" dialogue & bullet sponges.

I bought the game.

Ask me anything and feel free to laugh at me, I enjoy the game, yes it's dead really dead

Yes, I do regret my purchase at the moment. No I didn't regret my purchase till this last week with the announcement of Microtransactions and having an absurd peak of players on PC of 1.2K.


Alani was designed before, it's not waifubait.
Their marketing team is just retarded user, really retarded.

...

...

Have you experimented with all the characters? If you have, which are the worst, either writing-wise, or gameplay-wise? If not, why haven't you, because you've played for 310 hours? Also, I can't fucking believe someone bought Battleborn. You're a rare breed, user.

You are really lucky you can't prove that picture was created by you.

raughable

I can't believe he managed 310 hours.

That game has been out for what, just over a month? That's pretty much an entire third of that time spend playing the game.

I bought it because I needed a game to play with my fiancee. I wont give more details, she was burnt out of Stalker and TF2, needed another kind of shooter

Yes, I have experimented with everything and the gameplay is quite fun. IT requires certain skill with the exception of the typical casual character, but it has everything, hard to play and hard to master, easy to play and easy to master characters…

The worst character, in my opinion, is Boldur the dwarf. He is the worst because his stun is not reliable on Meltdown (which is my favourite game mode). However this motherfucker is unkillable if played well and a killing machine at late game.

Writing wise, the worst would be Reyna or Mellka. Imagine a total dyke and a niggress space pirate, thats it, it makes me cry. Luckily the rest of the cast has surprisingly good voice lines and shit.

Pic related.

Ninja delete on PIc, if you got me, well its okay. Reposting

Nigga, you need to get your eyes checked.

Dangerously laughable

She's not even good enough to be your slutfu for one night.

Both released around the same time, both are heavily character-based, both have cartoony graphics, except Blizzard had the right idea of simplifying it, making it look more like a disney animated feature.

Character design-wise Battleborn ignored the silhouette-rule almost completely. You got multiple characters that look way too similar to each other, despite being filled with tiny little detail. Its easy to mix up the 2 brown girls with mohawks, or the many mech suits, or the two bourgeois femme fatales with weird hair, or the bulky fatasses with weird heads together.

Credit where credit is due, you can instantly recognize all Overwatch characters from their silhouettes. Whereas with Battleborn you only have 3 clearly distinct characters from the rest of the roster. Others are just super-thin dykes or dudes in mech suits, or super muscled dudes with either huge shoulder pads or a head, or both.

Oh don't worry. Blizzard will probably eventually ruin that just like Valve did.

He said he plays games with his fiancee. Bitches love memelands for some reason.

I can attest to that.

How can you stand any of the characters? Every single one of them annoyed the living fuck out of me when I played the beta. Granted, I only played for a few hours, but I did look through their lore and their voice lines, and the only one who wasn't trying to be an edgy ironic unique fuck was the parody of the generic soldier, who was genuinely interesting.


At least he ain't got 2. Like me

Borderlands 1 was good, Borderlands 2 was shit.
And I got it for free long ago.

I don't even know why I have it installed on this PC even.


user is not true. One mohawk girl is thick, the other one is slim as fuck.
One of the mech suit is big as fuck, the other one is a power suit.
I don't know what bulky fucker you're talking about.

All Battleborn characters are easy to spot with the silluette mate, BB has many problems but this one is not one of them

Actually, she doesnt' like Borderlands.
I got the game for free and I got an autist friend that I owe'd a lot, so we played it together many times to make him happy. The ride wasn't so bad.

True, 1 was bretty gud. No burch IIRC

To be honest. I get really annoyed with Orendi for example, but you grow up to like it or ignore it. You can even mute voice lines manually on the options.

Many voices are actually well done, as examples we have Oscar Mike (the soldier you said), Isic and Marquis. Those three are hands down the best voices on the entire game.

Okay cool, where's the porn?

And theres the problem. Silhouette-wise they look too similar to each other. Slight size differences are not good design.

How?


Gearbox seem to be in a rut with making characters. Battleborn has it's own version of Tiny Tina and that Torgue guy who shouts all the time, and I can vaguely remember a lot more.

My gf likes Bordelands too for an unknown reason.

Well, about that. I usually let games open for no real reason.

This is the ACTUAL gameplay hours.


I don't even know. Last match I had a developer on my team (funny enough) and he was just saying "^^ Nice! GG!!"
I don't know what's on their heads. Many people on the official Discord of Battleborn asks them many shit but it seems that 2K told them to shut the fuck up and not say anything.

The lack of communication is hurting the community greatly and they are not allowed to say anything till it's ready.

At this very moment the forums are burning cause PvE only faggots are whinning that their legendary gear got nerfed because it was too strong on PvP. Meanwhile many like me are mad about Microtransactions, at least they are not RNG micro.

Game is actually good but it's dead. I would not recommend it. Waiting times of 10-30 mins for a match unless you're at peak hours, and if you dare to play at awkward hours, no match will be found.

it's a game where menial tasks are presented as though they are feats of great strength and your character is the center of the universe. put two and two together user.

Is she a fan of shooters? If not, why Borderlands? The shooting isn't even good.

Not really, she's 11 years older than me and never played video games before we started going out together. It seems like an oddity that she likes this particular one.


Maybe what this user said

user, I don't know how to say this but mine is 10 years older.

Her first shooter was Serious Sam and her favourite series is STALKER. However she's addicted to TF2 and this is another reason of why we got Battleborn, so we could play something else besides TF2 for years.

My guess is that they still thought "From the team who made Borderlands!" still carried any weight, despite the legendary disappointment that was Aliens Colonial Marines.

Even then they said this was their biggest investment ever, and you would think they put any effort into advertising it considering it released a week or two before Overwatch.


I dont even know if they think thats waifu bait, they just wanted people to draw porn of her just to give the game any attention.

And Symmetra's just an Indian tech support joke.

That's because those are all brown hands user.

Moxxy was created for Borderlands.
Burch wrote Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-sequel.

Checked

I see what you did there

Well, her design was know since the game was launched really. she is the first DLC. Her design was available online since march. But I must say they fucked up in the modeling, since she was supposed to look asian, and not a "Day of the Dead style" character.

Is Galilea still broken OP? I heard just unkillable most of the time.

I don't think that gearbox has the best modelers… or anything really. They are an all around mediocre developer who got lucky with Borderlands.

i like this tiddy monster

mine is 20 years older than me
i'm 20
She has several kids and the youngest is in college one year younger than me

From what I could see, Battleborn is a better game if compared to Overwatch. It have a singleplayer mode, more than one online mode, and the characters do have more variety.
But launching it with Overwatch, a game that probably spent more in marketing than 2K and Gearbox had available to develop and market BB… And, also ignoring the power of BlizzDrones…
But, in the end, it committed the biggest sin to me: Online only multiplayer and most of everything. This is not how they should do things for a paid game. Overwatch also did this, but I was never interested in that. After Starcraft 2 and HotS, I know Blizzard is just not going to produce really good games anymore. But, with the right market, you can sell shit as gold…

It's not sexy because Battleborn has this horrid gangly character design where all the limbs are thin and elongated.

You see this a lot on cheap Saturday morning cartoon shows, characters without curvesvor muscle are easier to animate, unnaturally jagged edges make for a faster drawing process. Obviously it's also a clear indicator of a character artist who had no idea about anatomy.

Too bad that a good basic anatomy is kinda required for designing rounded, interesting characters one might find himself partial to jacking off to.

careful there, the smallest detail shared online can make it easier for others to find you

paranoia knows best

What has this world come to?

So what happens if someone finds me? Cheers to them, i don't give a fuck.

...

Real women don't age like anime girls.

user, i know theres really amazing older women, but you knoe

I know ;_;
But still i'm a virgin, pussy is pussy and she looks hot enough to me.

You know, it would be nice to see an drawfag "fixing" these chars. Personally, I prefer the craziness from cartoons to the excessive clean style. If it's used correctly. Battleborn do have some characters I genuinely enjoyed to see, like Ambra, Benedict, Reyna, Kleese, even Orendi, but they had to put Burch somewhere…
Galilea would also enter the list if they had made her a better armor, the one she uses is too meh.

You're selling out your freedom for a used pussy m8. You'll get what you deserve.

We're only in it for the sex
She's married

...

Wow m8. This must be what it's like to not have a soul. Enjoy destroying the family, if it's not destroyed already.

He knows

Hopefully he has the balls to do what has to be done.

Feels good, Sakamoto-san.

Well now you made me feel bad about everything. thanks user.

...

...

I don't know which is better the bankruptcy of gawker of the impending doom of Gearbox, get fucked Randy you pathetic sack of shit!

how would you buy battleborn anyways it's WW2 and aliums are attacking you

CUCK CUCK CUCK CUCK CUCK CUCK

From what i'm getting here he's the one doing the cucking.

For a second I thought you were implying Claptrap was a waifu.

I honestly really liked borderlands 1-2, because I had a group of friends to play the games with.
It was fun just running around shooting things and getting drops.

But as I'm reading this stupid ass forum post, holy fucking shit.
They really fucked up with their target audience. I kinda feel bad for them.

Except Burch. Fuck him.

Oh well. Not like they made good games anymore anyway.

How much closer does this bring Queerbox to bankruptcy?

overwatch looks ike fucking garbage

this shit, even worse

not even the 10 year old console players they were aiming at will play this crap

you will never get a number 2 of you're game If you ever do that.

hello again toriel poster

where the hell is gaige you meathead?

That's not fucking free. Time is a currency as well as money. I don't know how long it takes to earn 47,500 credits in the game, but I imagine that's a week's worth of play if not more. I'm sure that there are people who would rather just spend $2 to unlock her instead of spending the time like indian call center employees to unlock a bundle of 1s and 0s.

Anyway, unlocking characters in a game that you fucking pay for is just downright retarded. It's retarded in a game like League of Legends, which is why I quit that game years ago and numbers are starting to fall lately. The cost to unlock a single character in League of Legends (who another player can lock out on you in either ranked play as a ban or in unranked play as a pick) ranges from $5 to $10 (sales not included). Consider that the game's roster has something like 100+ characters. Over 66% of the roster are $10 because of the shitty way that their pay structure works, 66% of the remaining 33% are $7.50, and the last characters are $5 a piece.

Let's say there's 102, because I don't care to count.

$670 for $10 characters, $165 for $7.50 characters, and $55 for $5 characters to unlock the whole roster. That's $890. That's the equivalent of 9 years of World of Warcraft. *YEARS*

Now here's where I'm going with all this talk of League…

Now as a time constraint, it takes 6300 points to unlock a $10 character, which (not including first win bonuses) will take roughly 52-104 games depending on if you win or lose. Games vary in length from 30 minutes (rarely) to 60 minutes (often). Now we'll use the mean as a curve here, and assume you win 50/50 games, so that's 74 matches at a mean of 45 minutes per match… 3330 minutes, or 55.5 hours; this doesn't factor in eating, sleeping or not playing. So it takes a week of play to unlock an expensive character. Is it any wonder that games like League easily entice people to pay microtransactions to unlock their characters when players don't want to spend thousands of hours unlocking characters? This is why it's so easy for these games to get pay-to-not-play to work as a business model, because while it seems harmless from the perspective of "I can save myself a week or more of doing this" in actuality, it's bullshit from the get go.

So fuck these kinds of games for wasting peoples' time and making them seriously contemplate wasting their money on a game they already paid for to unlock characters that should just be unlocked automatically.

AND…

If players have to unlock characters ON TOP OF THE PURCHASE OF THE GAME for any of the characters in the base character roster, then the game is an irredeemable pile of shit, and it should die.

it's a mixed feel

A little over a 1/10 of that. That was a month ago, maybe 200k if they had a massive surge in sales, but I thought it.

eh, the hell with it

while we're here, have a webm of the meme witch and chair man nuking a boss down to nothing

one of the reasons i like coop is that nobody cares if you're overpowered, i also quite enjoy losing myself in all the explosions (i'm definitely in the minority on this, though)

let me know if someone wants a second webm from the same mission, for some strange reason

i kind of want to fuck meme witch

Not, she's not broken she got nerfed three times.
Even now they nerfed her again indirectly; they nerfed the legendary items that most Galileas were using.

She still has a small problem with her big as fuck DPS when at full HP, so you just need to harass her and be done with it to make her a "meh" character.


I don't even know how's that possible between you two, but hey, good luck.


This is true, as I said before Battleborn is an actual good game but it has some problems like always online that wont let you play offline singleplayer campaign due to how Credits and Loot work in game, it's not a big deal till you get kicked out of a game (even while playing alone) because Steam decided it's his weekly maintenance.


I have gone out with many women and this one is by far the best I could find. She's even skilled in vidya user.


Yes, it's a week of play.
A PvP game can give you around 250-600. A lost one less.
The credits you get is tied not only to victory, but to challenges and your score, making the life of supports even shittier. We have been whinning over how bad the credit gain is when we run out of challenges on our account and lore (which are another challenges).

However,
user, I like unlocking things. In Battleborn you have a lot of characters locked behind challenges or level (you can choose which one). This way people dont get overwhelmed while learning characters, because they unlock nearly one by one the characters just by playing the game and the campaign.

Alani, and the future characters will be the only characters that require credits to unlock or buying the shitty season pass which I will never fucking buy because I think season pass is fucking cancer.


I see what you did there, Gnosis maxed on Nullify, Paradigm resetting Pillar and I guess that you have the second pillar on 5 seconds? If not, you must have Chrono Key before the nerf?

You are kind of a faggot and so is she mate. That is not a good relationship.

i'm sure a lot of people do


no, I just have all the cooldown helixes and three pieces of gear with cooldown bonuses that add up to about 15-20%

also, with the above taken into account, picking up a cooldown powerup will allow you to chain nullify and pillar almost instantly until it wears off

i wish i had the chance to try the chrono key and those other legendaries before they were nerfed, gearbox was incredibly harsh on their numbers

what does wanting to plow an underaged witch have to do with chaining your abilities?

He was continuing to talk about what I said with the cooldown.


It was really OP on PvP mate, let's be honest there, glad they nerfed it but they over nerfed it.

Was that normal or Advanced? I can tell its not Hardcore mode. Where are you from?

yes, I know it was most likely OP in PvP, but there was something special about doing it in co-op. I was able to use pre-nerf go go juice and mossire mukluks on miko to go sanic fast

the mission in the webms was on normal, because I wanted to run through it quickly. I'm not entirely sure what the difference between advanced and normal is, aside from there being a few more enemies and thrall grenades that instagib you

i'm on the west coast, need to get to sleep now, see you around

...

Bought Overwatch and now I realise how bad it is. Just kill me.

It's not, though. Overwatch is awesome.

Accidentally greentexted my reply. I wasn't being sarcastic.

I will never understand why the West thinks pronounced cheekbones are cute. They look skeletal.

Advanced has an extra pool of loot, it's also harder.

Also 2.0 the more players you get, the harder it gets. When you get at least 3 players, shit get's crazy with maps filled with so many enemies that it will remind you a bit of Serious Sam. It's really fun due to that.

Eu here my nigga. Nighto


I played the beta, it was shit. I still enjoy Battleborn after playing the Beta of it.

I would not recommend it at the moment because the playerbase is dead on PC, I can still play but I dont know if this will get revived after some updates or get killed. Game is actually good.

Fuck off Gearbox shill.

Honestly, what's awesome about it? As far as I can tell it's an epilepsy simulator with t&a to hook sexually repressed teens.

You're really dense user.

...

Boom, another family unit bites the dust. Well done for taking part in destroying western society.

...

...

Did you miss me?

Whatever gave them the idea that Morgan Man-Jaw over there would be a suitable love interest? look at her, it's clear she's Liara ersatz

I do worry that Borderlands 3 will save the company since normal fags are fucking retards. But here's hoping it flops like Prequel.

Maybe Devolver could get the Duke IP

When will devs ever learn that trying to balance one game for both PvE and PvP equally well is impossible? One will always suffer in favor of the other, and no matter which you prefer, always PvE in all games you end up resenting it being made worse for the sake of the side you don't want. Just pick one and go with it, or at the very least, give every ability, piece of equipment, etc, a PvE version and a PvP version. That way you don't have to screw up one side to tweak the other. X damage versus players, Y damage versus enemies, that sort of thing.

This. There were several designs that had some real potential, but they were all ruined by that problem. It's undersized head and overly long limbed Bayonetta syndrome all over the place.


This, but don't forget unattractive manjaws, they also ruin many a female face. I really don't get it, drawing an attractive female face is no secret. If you've seen even one, you just study that. Artists have had this figured out for centuries now, well before the internet made it super easy to find example imagery. Or photographs even existed.


Are you saying that more players mean more enemies instead of just more HP on the same amount of enemies? That would… actually be an appealing design choice for once. I hate being punished with bullet sponges for playing with other people.

sauce?

Tracer is a ten year old boy and liking it is pretty gay.

...

Fuck if I wasn't on mobile I'd make that edit

>You can't top Tracer's cute ass.
More like Tracer's boy ass
She's a stronk transwoman

Can't they go bankrupt before shitting out another one?

...

After the boomer sellouts came the gen-x nihilists and then the millennial narcissists.

I wonder how the next generation will be defined.

They should leave Legendaries being OP as fuck but only in PvE and remove legendaries from PvP. That's all.

And yes, more players mean more enemies and a bit of more health, not much health.
A glorious example is the last mission, when you go alone is a gauntlet of old bosses one by one. Go in a party and you will have MANY bosses AT THE SAME TIME. Have fun with all of their gimmicks at once.
Yes PvE in this game with people is really nice, the more guys you grab, the better. The starting point where you REALLY notice, is with 3 players. With 2 is just a slight increase, but with 3 man, shit gets crazy and with 5, Serious Sam mode.

If you play Advanced where enemies hit like a fucking truck and there are a fucklot of them, shit's insane and fun. I used to think the PvE was fucking trash cause I solo everything at max difficulty, then proceed to try with a maxed party and everyone (who were really experienced) died nonstop.

Depends on if they finally get it right. I'm okay with Gearbox living on if they finally worked out the kinks that plague the series. Or any other game developer could step in and do their own version that gets it right, in which case Gearbox would be unnecessary. It's not like Gearbox didn't leave tons of room to improve the basic idea, but nope, nobody does for some reason.

I guess my point is that I think there's potential for a really good game somewhere in the Borderlands formula and I just wish someone would make that game finally. I'm starved for games combining shootan with RPG/adventure style aspects.

If they somehow got their shit together and fixed grinding, bulletsponges, and shitty writing, I'd be okay with it.
they won't

:^)

...

In the end, it's a bit of a shame that Gearbox had to deliver what seems as a good game, at least better than the competition, but only after they had fucked up the consumers so many times.

By the way, why they decided to sell this game with a bigger price tag than Overwatch?!? This was so stupid it's even sad to see. It's insane.

is there a torrent of battleborn yet
i wanted to play the singleplayer mode without giving jewbox any money just for the generic robot butler man

Gearbox is run by a greedy moron. The sooner they die the better vidya will be.

They fucking wish. The game barely broke 100k, and that figure doesn't even account for refunds. The game has a current active playerbase of

There is only one character from this game that I would like to fuck
and he is a fucking bird

If they really wanted my money they'd make high quality orendi porn

2K is the one who decided the price, not gearbox.
However, it is gearbox problem to get a publisher as greedy as 2K.

It is THEIR fault for picking up/accepting such a publisher knowing what would happen (see Evolve).

It is really impressive what a good game they fucking finally made for their marketing team to fuck everything up.
Oh yes we have this good game and we believe it is so good that we shouldnt be scared of Blizzard release, if we release sooner everything will be okay! Forget that they have a bigger name, more money and the best marketing team in this industry! Forget that we are not as experienced and if we push a rushed product the performance of the game will suffer!

And what happened was to be expected, the performance on release for PC was a fucking shit with FPS drop even in really good PCs to the point it was unplayable. Fix came, yes, many of them, but it should have not been sold in that state. Next, we have Blizzard that literally took them out and shat on them in every moment Battleborn had an open beta or on its release.

All they had to do, was just fucking wait for the casuals to get burnt from Overwatch after a month or two, release the game at 30€ tops instead of 50 with better performance and it would have been better.

However, what we have now is sadly a good game that got eaten by competition and ineptitude. Finally a good game (yet an Assfaggots/Crapcunts, we have to be honest here) and they fuck up this badly, we have on PC daily peaks of 1k players. There are more people on Steam playing Undertale daily than this game, there are more people playing Borderlands 2 than this game.

All this game needs is free weekend on steam with marketing since the performance has been fixed (or mostly) to hook people up or to eat the bullet and go F2P they will never do it and the game will die

id give it a whirl if it were f2p, but im not paying for a moba unless its both reasonably priced, and wont charge me for future content

Its at 20€ (I guess less in $) in CDkeys and the likes.
However, with the current state of the game due to the low playerbase I would say that the MAX you should pay is 20€, so you should REALLY look a bit of the gameplay before getting a purchase cause this game is "Love it or hate it" kind of (and also you need to look which character you may like).

Overall is a great game, many great ideas and great potential. The PvP is great and the PvE meanwhile monotonous it can be fun with more than 3 players. Also the community is by no means something like Overwatch or Dota, they will never tell you that you suck, they'll never force you to be X role, everytime I played people asked me what suited best the team or just used their microphone to have better teamplay. I'm gladly surprised that the community in game is this well behaved with no cancer, but that doesn't mean that they're good at the game.

tl;dr: Cdkeys at 20€, max price I'd personally pay for this. Beware of low playerbase. Good community though.

You keep saying its a good game. Do you play it muted? Because otherwise I refuse to believe you're not an evil ghost who was killed by just how cringeworthy and bad everything is in regards to sound and graphics and is haunting Holla Forums in order for more people to die like you did.

test

As I said, it's hate it or love it.

I like most of the voice acting with a few exceptions, at the beginning I played with dialogue muted, then I started liking the personalities of the characters.

It's not a game for everyone user, if you don't like the dialogue just be yourself and don't play it since you won't enjoy it.

No you don't.

You either haven't or you're some kind of shill. Or both.

...

you are literally gayer than two men fucking each other in the ass, which is a physical impossibility. Fuck you.

>there are

I had no problem finding matches till now, that is 5AM on EU.

However it's friday, after 1AM unless weekend is nearly impossible to find a match.
In the morning is nearly impossible to find a match.
In the afternoon it would take 5 minutes to find a match, but if matchmaking is fucking up it took me once 30 fucking minutes.

So, yes on PC is nearly unplayable unless peak hours and weekends. Excellent marketing job I must say, it totally feels like they smash their heads against the wall on pourpose before having a meeting.

It's a shame really, 2K deserves this flop but gearbox did for once a decent game but they do deserve the flop too though.

It's going to get worse, user.

Battleborn has surpassed its Stillborn moniker and is going full into Evolve territory. If they don't F2P it, the thing'll be dead in less than a year.

Come to think of it, wasn't Evolve also a 2K shitshow? What is it with them and refusing to let games go F2P when they're clearly dying and it could do no harm?

sure, but is future content going to cost me my balls?

Servers cost money to run.

I honestly don't get it. I mean its not even like Evolve had enough content to stand on a $60 asking price, much less a $20 price tag.

Only I think Evolve lasted longer than this now.

Also forgot to mention:

Not unless your game is super popular they fucking don't. This isn't 2000, user.

Between the two, I'd say that Evolve had 1000% more marketing than Battleborn did. That's probably the only reason why it took longer to die fully.

gearbox or 2k thinks it is. borderlands bree segull still costs 70 dollars for the full shebang

A search for authenticity / well-set beliefs.

On the plus side, less whining.
On the bad side, a drifting apart from cultural/political centers.

The art is offensively sub par.

Holy fuck, they're hideous. I didn't think you could make more lazy waifus than Overbotch, but they sure succeeded. Why can Western devs never do even the simplest things right?

Because western devs have lots of limitations due to corporate culture. Picture the following:


And you will follow all of those rules because you have nervous suits hovering over you, worried about the small army of pink haired bearded women who will write a handful of shitty articles criticizing your character, costing sales and causing negative exposure.

This entire game was funded by blizzard, so people would go "well overwatch sucks, but it's fucking way better than battleborn!"

This is 99% horseshit.

2K doesn't give a fuck about that SJW nonsense. If it's in Battleborn it's because Gearbox wanted to go that route themselves. 2K just wants a return on their investment that they'll never get, lel and they have no interest in this political horseshit.

Good job knowing how jews are

What I said and what you said do not contradict each other at all.

2K doesn't give a shit about political SJW nonsense. But they don't want the risk of getting into any sort of PR altercation, so they bend to the perceived safest route. If they could obtain a return on investment by giving the middle finger to everyone they would.

But goodwill is an asset and part of your reputation so you can't go around giving middle fingers as a corporation….

PvE maps will be $5 each in the future.
The other things that you can pay for are skins and taunts.

So there's no really need to pay unless you want more PvE content.


Funny enough Battleborn is a better game. It has better characters (just no waifus), more content and far better gameplay.

It's just that Blizz Marketing is the strongest in the industry, you just can't compete with them unless a miracle happens (see Path of Exile vs Diablo 3).

shill confirmed, sage and checkum

hahahahahahahaha lOSERS
