They are not the same game and genre. Stop comparing them and buy both!
"If you’re looking for something more akin to an MMO, especially if you’re a PvE player, Battleborn is practically the only choice here. I haven’t been glued to an MMO in awhile, but in smaller games like Battleborn and the Monster Hunter series, it somehow feels refreshing to boil a theme-park MMO down to its essence of running for loot. You can play against AI in Overwatch, but it’s not nearly as satisfying as adventuring across a dying solar system in a universe ready to end. I love Overwatch’s out-of-game story, but the lack of a campaign is a missed opportunity Blizzard will hopefully rectify later. Even if it’s paid DLC, I’d love to see their lore get proper game treatment.
However, if you’re done with chasing stats, Overwatch is the clear winner. The skills you’ve mastered around the internet are put into an arena where they mix and mash well in a more mainstream environment. You may not get the Gun of Boss Booms, but you can find something in black for nearly every character you want, and really, that’s all some of us want anyway."
Overwatch will win because Blizzard will prop up an artificial esports scene with their own funds just like they do with Hearthstone.

Doesn't help the fact that Battleborn is visually a disgusting and gameplay wise boring game. The meme dialogue doesn't help either.

Piss off, shill. TF2 is free and better in almost every single way.
John Jenkins
but nobody is playing TF2 anymore, except on le epic hats severs
Jose Murphy
Hmm, I think I see what you mean OP I've decided not to play either of them
Bentley Flores
but they reduced the price on both and its double xp weekend. Come on 80 buck is like going to the cinema 3 times.
Leo Adams
>stop comparing both Well people stopped comparing both like a week ago when they stopped caring about Battleborn altogether, now fuck off shill.

Jaxson Peterson

Aiden Flores
I thought they were the same to be fair, until I played the Overwaych beta. Why would you buy both though, or a game that looks as terrible as Battleborn.
Dylan Peterson
>Stop comparing them
Gearbox first.
Cooper Peterson
Why would anyone literally buy both? Are people this genuinely retarded?
The best move is to buy Overwatch now and play it for a month or so and by then Stillborn will have gone F2P.
Ian Cook
>15k players Spread across 3 platforms?
It's dead. Nostalrius had more players willing to replay what they've played 10 years ago than people willing to play Stillborne.
Alexander Johnson
battleborn 1 month in still no fixes nerfs gg it had its time

I'm surprised Battleborn is tanking as hard as it is. It didn't look that great, but I thought riding the Borderlands fanbase would have got them a few million sales alone

Played both Betas.
Overwatch is fast, entertaining, looks good and plays smooth. Its a solid fight you can get into with little fuss and the game can change at any time with heros changing.
Battleborn spawns you miles from the fight, Melee characters were OP. The MOBA style of hit and run and trying to finish a player before they could run works terribly on fps and leaves people frustrated. If your team loses 1 part of the map its pretty but over but the game drags it out FOREVER.
Easton Collins
It's like someone at gearbox found a marketing textbook, and did everything in reverse.
It starts with gameplay that's confused about what it wants to be. It's marketed as a shooter, but aside from being in first person, it's a moba in every other aspect. It's got *some* single player, some coop, and some pvp, and only pvp is fleshed out. They had to come up with a whole scrabble board of buzzwords to describe it's playstyle.
Then there's the graphics- oversaturated, flashy, and at the same time just crude and rough, with a messy UI. The characters have almost no unifying aesthetics either.
And finally, and probably the worst sin- they never set themselves apart in marketing. The customers were, and still are confused as to how it's different to overwatch or TF2.
Add to this the characters, which are all either wierd or ugly, and it means you don't even have iconic chars to use as mascot for the game.
They did everything they could, and they did it ass-backward.

Why did they use Goatse as the Battleborn logo?

Not similar and you're a shilling retard for thinking otherwise

Why is battleborn so fucking ugly? The characters, the environment, and even the UI looks terrible.

I like how overwatch shills are using the failure of a gearbox game, which no one ever saw comong oh wow gearbox making a bad game who knew, to pretend like q-watch isn't mediocre.
Both are simplistic games no worth the full price,, overwatch looks prettier but it's still a different brand of shit.
