what does Sup Forums think of this world design?

Every single character design from Battleborn is over-designed far past the point of unsuitability for their chosen genre, they are some of the most laughable character designs I have ever seen. The voices for each character are shrill, overbearing and unsuited to their purpose

Its honestly one of the worst things Ive ever seen.

Im not saying I could do better, but if really pressed, I could.

This is what a 4yr old draws after watching cartoons all morning while on sugary breakfast cereals before his drunk mom forces him to take his flintstones multivitamin and adderal and then claims its "cool and badass".

The artists, or whoever said this design could be greenlit, needs a refreshment course in all aspects of life. And a good spanking too.

Looks like some SMT bullshit that's supposed to be grotesque in form but was mistaken for BADASS by idiots at Gearbox.

How many players are playing it now?

Is that a new Overwatch character? Based Blizzard.

It's not that far off from "weird-looking but it could work". Lop a couple inches off the hyperneck and swap the arm out for a smaller model and there's probably something there.

He easily has one of the worst visual designs of any BB.
His kit is good, though, so at least he has that going.
See pic.

I like you user, keep it up.

>it's actually going down

The SMT guys could probably tweak the design into something pretty respectable, aside from the fucked up face.

fun fact: you see those huge horns coming out of the side of his jaw? in-game, the viewmodel shows them above his line of sight

Ah. Nice. New Battleborn thread.

Attikus takes getting used to. I thought he was garbage for a good while until I started playing Battleborn. He's actually a really fun electric brawler with a pounce attack.

That shit is great. I love how you can look down as any character and see your body.
Now I just wish there was a girl with bigger cleavage so there was more to see.

>Just min-max his proportions and add some tech shit
Works every time t. gearbox

SMT designs are good though. Kaneko's, anyway.

>can find a CD key for like 8 bucks
>want something new to play
>see a surge of players from the bundle on the charts
>decide to wait and get it a bit later
>numbers actually start to decrease after the surge
>tfw

I actually want to give it a shot since its an AAA game for really cheap so it can be probably another Wildstar where the game had issues at first and lost traction but still a decent game under the mess. The numbers don't lie however and it actually has lower numbers now (bleeding players even), Its either gearbox is doing something stupid or the game is just honestly poor.

As a design, I like the idea of a boss who's into masturbating. Why else would he have a huge right arm? But in all seriousness it looks like a middle-aged man who was into steroids, but they didn't completely catch. What game is it from?

It's not the fault of the individual artists, but bad art direction in general. The art director pushed this design philosophy on the artists who, wanting to keep their jobs, followed directions. Everything wrong with BB started from the top and rolled downhill from there. It's a shame to see this because I doubt any of the artists that worked on this would want to include it in their portfolio, let alone mention it on their CV.

You really should. It's one of the best games I've played this year. I'd argue it's the best MP game on the market due to TF2 becoming oversaturated with market crap and aggressively trying to kill itself.

The game's a bit hard to get into for casuals due to lack of tutorials and it taking a decent while to learn. That being said, if you play a game or two of co-op before you take a character to PvP you should be golden. Premades are an issue on PvP but it's easy enough to avoid them if you just look for the teams with golden bars to the right of their names.

People say PC has decent matchmaking times, something like 1-4 minutes or something on Incursion.

PS4 would be the much better option if you're a consolefag don't mind spending more money, due to much higher playerbase and better optimization. (AFAIK)

at least it's memorable and not bland ripoffs of characters from other games

Battleborn

it's a good game, just with a love-it-or-hate-it art style
>he can't appreciate exaggerated features...

the worst thing is most people who criticize battleborn's designs unironically like overwatch's which has such absolute """"""""""""gems" as roadhog

steroid masturbator salaryman 2016

>claws are below ground level

I feel like this is the problem with most battleborn designs, they are all on the ugly side of weird instead of being appealingly weird. It would be better if they were just intentionally ugly.

see:
the girls are all undeniably aces
the guys are more "love it or hate it" but there's some normalesque ones like oscar mike and caldarius in there

>he can't appreciate exaggerated features...

I can if they are executed well. TF2, Sanctum 2, and (for the most part) the Borderlands titles do exaggerated features properly.

>everyone who dislikes BB adores Overwatch!

nope

>supposed to be grotesque in form but was mistaken for BADASS by idiots at Gearbox.
This. It works for some monstrous freak, but they spin it off as a normal character.

i said most
it seems the majority are butthurt OW fags though I don't see why they're butthurt since they've commercially won
maybe it's hard to accept that there's a game out there with better gameplay and no loot crates?

battleborn's a matter of taste, yeah. a lot of the designs had to grow on me, but once i actually started playing the game they did so quickly. they're very cartoony, which is the problem, and not everyone wants to play a game which looks like a high-tier cartoon network show

Shouldn't his horns be out of view?
Sad that the voice ruins the water girl.

It really doesn't
You'd expect her to sound different from how she looks, and I admit hearing her voice for the first time made me think 'holy shit what'

But it's really not bad. If anything, it just makes her even more adorable
>insecure teen waifu who makes fun of eastern mysticism
hnnng my dick

No, her voice is shit and ruins the character. The dialogue confirms it. Shame because she looks nice.

Shayne and aurox, benedict, marquis, kleese and rath were hands down the best characters in battleborn

Her voice is unfitting and shit.

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

>her voice is shit
>"you get used to it and it actually makes her seem even more adorable"
>you're wrong, her voice is shit

so uhhhh
you're retarded, then?

can somebody fix this guy's design to make it bearable?
like shrink the horns and arms and lengthen the legs? or anything to make it better
i'll try my hand at it too

Says the faggot who eats this shit up. I never said you were wrong either.

>$0.05 have been deposited to your BADASS account!

Kleese seems OP as fuck
Rath might be OP as fuck if he wasn't so squishy when put against actually decent opponents

I should really play more Benedict. DESU he's not as good as Reddit hypes him up to be.

Meh, okay. That sounded like "your opinion is wrong because my opinion is right" with no explanation whatsoever

Like I said, I found it a bit jarring at first too. It took some warming up (maybe a few games) but I don't think I could play Alani without her voice anymore.

She's just too fucking adorable. Like, some of the dialogue is a bit bad on its own, most is decent-good, but even the bad shit gets completely bailed out by her voice-acting.
>don't talk about water don't talk about water
>HIIII I'M FROM THE OCEAN
Like, under any other circumstances that should sound absolutely retarded but her voice is SO GOD DAMN PERFECT that that's actually one of my favorite lines despite registering the actual dialogue as seeming retarded.

Don't even need to say. What's the lore behind this character? Does he have a real head inside the "neck" and or is everything but his head simply massive?

i meant by character design

o-oh
Rath's a bit too much of an edgy vampire for me
appearance-wise
>Montana
>Alani
>Deande

hnnnnnnggg

God, they don't even fucking match the character model.

heres a quick shitty attempt
but im sure someone can do it better

friendly reminder that battleborn artist is spic

who gives a fuck

"I'm not saying I could do better."
Says he could do better.

what

I'm surprised people remember this game

>The more I look into Battleborn the more I sorta like some of the designs mostly just Benedict actually
>kinda want to play it even
>cheapest I can find it is 8 bucks and I'm still on the fence about it

I guess it's hard to stay humble when anyone actually could do better.

That's actually pretty decent.

You triggered juan pablo?

Its really fucking grindy and it gets really boring after 2 hours
Co-op is midly fun though[spoiler/]

it's definitely worth the 8$ my dude
i paid 40$ on PS4 and got it about two weeks ago, 60 hours since then
granted, PS4 has a much healthier playerbase, but PC is still active

the characters are a bit of an acquired taste. like i would only rank montana as 'good' before i started playing but now he's one of my favorite characters and i fucking love hm

>gets boring after 2 hours
explain how i was able to play it 16 hours in a row (besides food breaks)

>16 hours a day
Pshh

This is such a ridiculous improvement that it almost looks like a good design.

Nice
How long you been playing, user?

Didn't the game add hours even when you werent even playing?

Around At least 5 hours per day i play it every day

>.exe doesn't close properly
>says you're in-game when you're not
>glitches make gearbox the devil
>but it's okay when valve does it

Except the game even did that when your computer isn't even on.

Prove it.

There was a thread about it on the steam forums but I don't feel like looking for it right now.

And did -they- have proof?
Find it if you want to talk shit about Battleborn. I've seen way too many 'HURR DURR LOOK AT THIS SCREENSHOT OF THE UI THAT'S TOTALLY NOT FROM THE CLOSED BETA' shitposts to believe something so absurd with no proof.

Wow, who is the blue girl? That character seems actually good.(well, don't know if the bottom part is fully of retarded shit)

See She's all looks.

I think they went a little too ball-to-walls crazy with the character designs.
Having five factions isn't as great of an idea as it seems. If you line up Benedict, ISIC, Rath, Reyna, and Miko next to each other, it'd look like some kind of collaboration piece of some artists on DeviantArt.
I say they should've homogenized the character themes, tone down the color pallet, rub in some grit and make them all mercs/vault hunters.

>actually playing Battleborn when you can play Overwatch instead

Why

She's a water-monk, probably one of the most fun characters in the game, offensive "glass tank" who relies on healing to be able to survive absurd amount of damage and hold off several enemies and minions by herself.

She has the voice of a teenage girl, which a lot of people find jarring and I had to warm up to, but which I absolutely adore now.

And yeah, that pic was from some rich redditfag who kept commissioning his waifus. Artist is good, I guess, but somehow he/she managed to give Phoebe a fucking manface.

thanks, just a little proportion tweaking can go a long way sometimes

Was about to say it reminded me of the terminator, then saw the file name. You win this time user.

>none of battleborn's depth

copy that

What are you talking about? Samus has never looked better

He's my favorite character to play as. His looks are ok. Cyber-hellboy is cool. Unlike the Sup Forums hivemind I do enjoy most of the character designs for this game, and the game in itself is also fun, unfortunatly it's getting harder and harder to find matches for reasons we all know

desu senpai just get a bloodborne machine and play the other BB on it too
>game actually has a very large amount of low CR players

Stillborn has much depth, the hole they dug is pretty fucking deep afterall.

Take out the lore and they are pretty much the same character.

Every FPS needs a cawadudy-man

>take out what makes them different and they're pretty much the same character

Shocking.

Most of the Battleborn lore is stupid. Oscar mike's lore is that he is a clone and writes poems about how much he hate spiders. He is convinced to join the team because he needs friends.

...

It's a good enough backstory for me. Not everyone needs to be a special snowflake with the deepest lore anime protagonist

>artstation.com/artist/matias_tapia

Eh, Left is passable. I have a thing for red eyes.

I love playing him, but he absolutely sucks because he's so big. There are so many slow effects in the game that he instantly get's slowed and shot to pieces by the other team.

>have to argue with a stereotypical Sup Forums-fag who can't understand the difference between objectivity and subjectivity on the discord
holy fuck i changed my mind please don't play battleborn, my GOD

You can use his leap as an escape move.
It also works for jumping up ledges.

they changed him a lot, AND they nerfed the slow effect just a day ago
