If you're like me, and I think the badasses here on Sup Forums are A LOT like me, then you'd definitely wish you could celebrate Halloween year around! But dang social norms prevent us from dressing like Freddy Kruger or an emo goth in the middle of June. Thanks to Gearbox's kickass game, Battleborn, you can celebrate Halloween every day of the year with new skins for the badass band of heroes now purchasable in the marketplace! Now some of you might be trying to kick yourself in the butt (believe me, you can't do it - I've tried) for not having bought Battleborn yet, but it's not too late. With a new Battleplan dropping today that fixed some bugs and tweaked some imbalances (except Orendi - she'll always be mentally imbalanced), now's the best time to grab your fellow badasses and fight for the last star in the universe!
If you're like me, and I think the badasses here on Sup Forums are A LOT like me...
>release paid-only skins
>players can't even view them without buying them first
>some retard actually buys them
>they're just shitty recolors
Holy shit, has a AAA game ever blundered this hard before?
You guys wanna talk about Overwatch?
I bought this game for 20$ at GameStop. I love this game a lot but holy shit Gearbox shot themselves I. The foot with this one. Plus they had so many good things in the game that wanted me to keep playing but they didn't stand a chance against Overwatch(as much as I never even touched the damn thing.)
Get your shit together Gearbox and make some big fucking changes to make this game better or make Borderlands 3 already
Tldr: Wasted potential: the game
It's fucking dead. Just let it go already.
Guess who's back
You -can- kick yourself in the butt though
Gearbox needs to completely purge their writing staff
Or replace them with Telltale at least because they somehow made Borderlands more interesting with Tales of The Borderlands with is sorry since its a damn ADVENTURE GAME
Strong independant women in the only criteria that influences the amount of entertainment I get from media. Have you SEEN D.Va's suit? That's the kind of shit Trump would design.
But Battleborn and Gearbox has great writing - it's their freaking strong suite.
I mean, how can you not love this
This is like when that Russian scientist reanimated a dead man. It was horrifying for everyone and they all wished it had just stayed dead like it's supposed to.
>Overwatch skins are alternate versions of the player models with heavy modifications, like Imp mercy having hooves, horns, and a tail
>you can basically unlock everything with in-game currency if you play long enough
>Battleborn's skins are shitty palette swaps
>have to buy them with cash
I don't understand how Gearbox is still around. They've done everything short of carrying around huge neon signs that read "WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT QUALITY, FUCK YOU, GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY" and yet there are still people who gobble this shit up.
Why?
> 940 playing
> 1057 24 hour peak
Try to make it through Randy's E3 Battleborn reveal and not cringe. I fucking dare you.
Who even was in the design team for this game any way?
They literally never learn.
I wanted to try the game because of the mushroom guy but all Sup Forums memes aside it sounds like the game is legitimately dying. How is gearbox still in business
Did Burch write for battleborn?
Gearbox needs to go back to ww2 games
It's not memes, last I saw they had a 50% drop in players over the last month
For some reason shitty devs manage to create cults of personality that will defend their every action all the way to chapter 11
You can look it up yourself
steamcharts.com
Shit, down to ten players already?
I don't know if its just poor directing or what but that Penguin voice was just painful on the ears. Pity as the animation isn't actually bad. The villain's voice was good but no matter how many times I look at the characters, the designs are just terrible.
Thats what im saying, all to often you see shitty meme tier "x is finished" or something about a game thats doing fine or great being dead but this shit is just fucking gone. I mean it seems like a fun idea but
A: gearbox and
B: gearbox
It's kind of a shame really, despite the memes and shit writing I actually enjoyed the gameplay of borderlands 2 a lot, but I don't think I could put up with gearbox writing again.
How's the game doing on consoles
>lol he's a penguin in a mech suit so randumb guys XD
...
Battleborn fucked it up with micro transactions
Overwatch was shit since day one and Battleborn now joins the micro transaction club.
This was the last multiplayer title I have ever bought.
>overwatch has microtransaction
>thank you blizzard, can we have more please?
>battleborn has microtransactions
>I HOPE YOU GO OUT OF BUSINESS
Jesus
Hey fuck you buddy I was laughing at BB way before they added microtransactions.
Gearbox humor is like ironic memes that aren't ironic
>More people playing fucking Blunderlands Pre Sequel than Stillborn
TOPPU KEKKU
Heck yeah motheryucker! Frikkin' love the darn game. I wish I could throw more dollar bills with abie's smug face at my homies Gear-to-the-Box but darn it, gotta work my dang butt off! You see, we live in a society where we need to work hard for our dreams and my AMERICAN DREAM is getting a darn copy of Battleborn! Heck yeah!!
>he will never get into Overwatch
Is it wrong that I fully plan to buy this game if it hits less the 20$?
I mean if it goes F2P then all the better but honestly I've got this weird urge to play this game.
Not even sure why.
he dabbled in it a little.
they'll probably do another free weekend soon
otherwise the game will have like 300 players by the time there's a sale
Only difference is Overwatch has "buy loot boxes" as the only microtransactions. The same loot boxes you get through normal play.
Battleborn has skins and taunts you can ONLY get through paid DLC, and apparently you can't even preview the fucking skins/taunts before you buy them.
>Battleborn has skins and taunts you can ONLY get through paid DLC
So?
So I didnt buy Battleborn and I feel like I dodged a bullet. I am getting alot of enjoyment out of watching it die off though.
...
Which is bigger blunder: Battleborn or Mirror's Edge Catalyst?
What's bad about this game?
Wow, you're pretty good. It's exactly like how that cuck writer for Gearbox would write it if he was shilling for Sup Forums.
...
Theres nothing really bad about it. Its just so painfully average. Like the mad max game last year.
Blunderborn's still more expensive than Doom on GMG, and Zenimax are supposed to be turbo jews in that respect.
2K must've given up, but EA still wants MEC to sell.
Bought it, accidently bought 2 anyone want a key?
It's not bad, but a AAA game going on sale literally eight (8) days after release is unheard of. Even Battleborn lasted like 2-3 weeks before the price cut.
>From a peak of 12,000 down to 479
Post the key i want to see how bad this game is for 5 minutes before i never play it again
Are you giving away the required welders mask too?
For your listening pleasure, lads
>Sup Forums
>C
Shills pls go. Battleborn was a mistake.
Iconic as it is, it's a game essentially about parkour. You don't do anything else but scale buildings, which is fine if it wasn't 60$
>But the story
Okay nerd.
The Gameplay of Battleborn is the level of a pretty good F2P game but it's surrounded by so much garbage design and writing that even though I got given a press key, I still never installed it.
Remember that time no one showed up to the Battleborn tournament?
Yeah.
Any tips about Tracer's ult? Seems like any half-decent Tracer will just pops up next to me, throw the bomb and rewind away, and if I'm not playing someone with a lot of health or a special escape button I'm dead without a say.
I dislike it cause even McRee, with his literal instakill ult, let me enough time to locate him and hide.
10/10
please do a mighty #9 one someday
That's just sad.
Because its fun to make fun of then
I that case theres noting you can really do. Its up to one of your team mates like zarya, reinhardt, or zenyatta to block it for you.
>gearbox is literally charging $5 for these skins (read: recolors}
ahhahahahahhahahahahahahaha
I bet the poor social media intern at Gearbox tried to persuade Randy into not writing that tweet but threatened him if he didn't
>Clearly wearing a shirt now.
>recolor.
Blizzshill pls go.
Meanwhile you can get hundreds of items for dota 2 for like 2 bucks.
If you are already on steam, make the items grindable annd get a cut from market transactions. It's that simple.
that laugh is infectious.
not even the teams showed up!
The characters might have, in some odd theme, more gender variety but the issue is with both the execution and the variety.
Every character in Battleborn is boring from both a design standpoint to a gameplay standpoint to a mechanical level to an execution of their voices and animations. It's just fucking boring
Overwatch excels on most of those levels with its characters. Take 76 or Pharah and just their voice, their movements and taunts, their silhouette. Everything about them isn't conveyed through some fucking Bio like Gearbox is relying on but in their being. This is why Battleborn is getting killed...the execution of each character is sloppy and they're honestly not well differentiated
Obviously I hope Overwatch gets more variety with the female characters but I don't want them to sacrifice the polish for each one
Bird guy seems like a total cutie. Too bad he's in Battlebore though so no one else will draw him.
I dont need more variety in Overwatchs female characters as long as i keep getting more porn of Widowmaker and Mei im happy.
>Mercy and Mei
ftfy
This is what happens when developers without a huge following and the basic understanding of competitive gaming try to shoehorn '''''''''esports'''''''' into their title.
There is no outfit that can fix that appalling character design.
Hey, our game is pretty much dead, you know what would remedy that?
MICROTRANSACTIONS BOOM BOOM
Likes em thicccccc
What about a big head mode cheat?
Add me. I like your style.
Why are we not making fun of OP's super faggy post?
Cuz you're too stupid to notice hes in on the joke?
PSA: If you are winning a match you may want to stop and reevaluate things.
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
Ironic marketing threads are still marketing threads.
Unless you're actually a paid shill in which case I feel even more sorry for fucking Gearbox.
It's fitting he posted DSP as his picture.
I like the implication that women want diversity. Like that's the big thing holding back an avalanche of potential women gamers. Most girls want their avatars to be cute and sexy too.
This shit is really starting to get depressing.
SO Battleborn is doing worse than Tree of Savior. A shitty Korean MMO which is so poorly designed they had to close off servers to new players because they couldnt handle lag and bots.
if you were a real badass, like me, you would of taken out a loan to purchase all those radical news skinz they've made, my man.
My fucking negro.
When i was in kindergarten i used to tinker and cobble together all kinds of shitty selfmade “toys“. Of course nobody wanted to play with them, so i stuck with my power rangers.
Gearbox are like me in this way, but instead of compromising they let the other kids eat sand and charge them 5 bucks for it
>That player count
Holy shit, even Evolve didn't die that quickly.
When they cut the price right before Overwatch went live, I thought 2K maybe learned they lesson. Then they added microtransaction to a full retail priced game with season pass, and realized they learned nothing.
>that laughter
YFW theres someone out the actually buying multiple copies of this game.
ITS DEAD JIM
>Full price for a F2P game
>Preorder bonuses
>Several different editions to buy
>Season pass
>DLC outside of the season pass
>Microtransations
This is fucking disgusting and I'm glad the game failed this hard.
My favorite factoid about the Battleborn launch is that it has 12k concurrent players, while TF2, a game that is 10 years old and is nowhere near as popular as it used to be, has at least 50k people playing it every day. And now Battleborn is down to 1k a day if they're lucky.
And some people still claim it's not going to die.
