>yfw randy fucking pitchford just made a rule34 battleborn subreddit

Meme magic has gone way too far

Wew lad

>Haha we don't need to make our characters cute and sexy!
>Overwatch can have their waifus!
>We at Gearbox are so progressive, we wouldn't DREAM of sexualizing any of our female characters! To prove it, we made our postergirl the likeness of Brianna Wu!
>...
>H-hey g-g-guys! L-look at this B-battleborn p-pr0n I """""found"""""!

...

so did the sjw's turn on him since he's objectifying woman?

>game is doing sooo poorly devs actually have to whore out their own characters for slight attention
holy molly you literally cannot make this shit up

works for japan

I think his angle is that he's pretending to be outraged by it, since his last tweet about Battleborn "pr0n" was "omg as a content creator i cant even omg so shocked u guise."
So to make this situation even sadder, he made a Battleborn rule 34 subreddit, stocked it under a single account, and then a couple hours later, linked it on twitter going "Oh my god you guys, whatever you do, don't click this link! It's full of shocking, sexist porn!"

oh yeah you are right. Never thought about it this way. Really activated my almonds

Why don't they just make it F2P?

Why do MULTIPLE people on Sup Forums think this?
Are you guys so lost in your political identity bullshit that you actually just automatically assume
> if i dont like it, the sjws like it, because i dont like sjws

???

Let me tell you, Overwatch is insanely popular with sjw teenage girls / trans kids. Thats all you see 13/14 year old girls cosplaying at anime cons is McCree, junkrat, and hanzo...

They don't give a fuck about Battleborne. NO ONE gives a fuck about Battleborne.

I'm gonna alkalise your face, faggot.

Japan goes in with that mindset as a priority. It's underlined on the chalkboard next to game balance and DLC. Randy is pushing this shit as a last ditch effort as the game continues to eat a dick.

I'm not making it about SJWs, user. He's already said he's """""shocked""""" by the idea of Battleborn porn. And it's clear from the character designs they were intentionally avoiding sex appeal. I'm not projecting some kind of tumblr strawman on Randy who bragged about being triggered by a joke about passive-aggressive female astronauts, but those are the facts.

It shows pandering doesnt work to. They have tried for years now with battleborne being the peak.
Turns out sjw secretly just want sexy people too.

because every game that goes f2p goes through the same cycle
spike in users for a month, two if they are lucky
and then it dies with no chance of saving it

But the game is already dead.

Yes but they do it from the get go, not as a last resource desperate move.

Because making a F2P system for a P2P game requires an investment of money. Game is dead for everyone, they don't care anymore

japan just hires straight up porn artists

Overwatch pandered to SJWs just fine.
They did it though by making the diverse cast WELL, not forced.

>Because making a F2P system for a P2P game requires an investment of money.

barely. They'd make it back in no time with F2P jewry.

Time to divert all of those resources into BL3 like they should have done. I don't blame Gearbox for wanting to branch out. I blame them for believing a MOBA was going to be their god damn saving grace. And their shit art design they decided to go with. And the fact that they straight up attempted to compete with Overwatch.

INTERIOR - NOON

RANDY is seated in front of his computer with a bottle of whiskey

They bet the farm on the game going big they can't make it f2p cause they need the sales on the over bloated abortion

I think they need to deliver to the poor fools who bought the season pass before they can do that.

it's true, just look at the garbage neptunia games

f2p is the only way this bullshit is going to give them any money at this point. A few hentai foundry commissions and all of the games heroes original 25 heroes being available to be played from jump street isn't going to save the game from stupidly long match queues and all the other shit wrong with the game.

They can make shekels if they go about this the smart way. And the best way is to make this shit free.

>Neptunia
>Garbage
Pick only one senpai

Is it at least flappable?

>link me don't post it here

the series is absolute trash and stays alive by selling to retards like you, congrats

>those two Orendi pics on the subreddit where she's fucking herself with her portals
>mfw I got those made from the /aco/ drawthread over a year ago
Why did Randy have to find and post it.

user, you shouldn't say bad things about games you obviously haven't played. It's impolite

....

you goddamn newfag the link is in the OP go back to Sup Forums you retard

Randy was the drawfag

This and only this.

>Buttstuff

The cloaca is an anything goes hole.

they did it by not pandering
having a cast of diverse characters in a game based around an international team of heroes isn't pandering, it makes sense
pandering to sjw would be forcing most of the cast to be unidentifiably brown, with various degrees of shaved and dyed hair, and not a single cis, straight, or male in sight. The lesbian tracer thing is definitely pandering, but that came much later

Oh god no

The artist still draws there to this very day

I hate this guy so much

(spoilers) stop it ;_; (spoilers)

orendi was the only character with a semblance of a decent design wasn't she? Can you imagine Randy realizing his bug-loli thing was the only thing people might even consider wanting porn of, and trawling through the internet to find porn of her to stock his subreddit, sobbing and trying to choke down the vomit with each new abomination against his vision he found?

...

I have a soft spot for Orendi and Marquis.

I wish Blizzard would buy the right to Marquis and put him in Overwatch because he already looks like an Omnic.

>> if i dont like it, the sjws like it, because i dont like sjws

Maybe because gearbox is fairly SJW?

Well at least Anthony Burch is and people just kinda see him as Gearbox even though he left, though he did do a few lines for battle born.

Marquis, El Dragon, and Beatrix would've fit right in Overwatch. It's a shame the few good designs were wasted on a dead game.

Also, anyone notice over half of the heroes are quirky insane people who laugh maniacally all the time?

>Bought it on PS4
>Plenty of players
>It's not that bad, fun characters and stuff.
>Writing needs a tune up
>Designs go from pretty great to WTF
>Needs a training type mode
>Loot system is dumb, but passable.
>Characters are gonna be all free soon.
I really don't see why everyone shits on this game so much.
Am I the only person who appreciates it for what it is?
>INB4 Randal Batchford

This is the most satisfying fall from grace since Gawker collapsed. Now all we need is for BioWare to ship Mass Effect: Andromeda with a boatload of bugs, a

FEMINISM IS AWESOME!

google search got nothing and e621 is comin up dry.
Source?

Hey Randal

...

Given your Invader Zim picture, I'm sure you are Gearbox's intended fanbase, but I'll break it down for you, Penguin of Doom.

>no waifus
>clusterfuck UI so bad it's on-par with the FPS UI parody image
>constant bright colors. character highlights, and some ironsights animations (Marquis especially), view-blocking particle effects, pop-up hit damage, plus the UI are a nausea-inducing combination; the game is literally difficult to watch and adds a whole mess of distracting and unnecessary clutter
>no waifus
>character designs were billed as "anime meets pixar" (which better describes Overwatch), but look like they were designed by a county fair caricature artist (I seriously don't understand how Attikus' design made it into the game)
>no waifus
>clunky first-person melee
>NOT A SINGLE WAIFU-WORTHY CHARACTER. Seriously, who are you going to jack off to? Brianna Wu with elf ears?

Guys, I think we should stop. I'm starting to feel bad for Randy.

Please, stop
I am genuinely concerned about the man's safety.
Maybe we should all play Battleborn before it is too late.

>BJ
>That beak

dammit i was gonna post this

...

No, Blizzard and shits like Metzen need to go first.

Metzen already left Blizzard and aside from the fanbase, Overwatch isn't that bad. It's just aggressively casual.

...

>mfw How dare you speak to me.JPG

I don't know guys. I think Randy did a good job promoting Battleborne right there. I mean, I completely forgotten about shitting about Battleborne until he reminded me of it with his tweet.

Yeah, they still remember what you did to SEGA you dirty Gaijin.

>2K and Randy damage controlling for a fuck up that was entirely their fault because they wanted to compete with Overwatch

I hate you so goddamn much 2K.

>mfw I have to play a shitty game just to keep Randy's blood off my hands

I'll probably laugh if Bitchford dies, and hope all of 2K dies with him.

>tfw you aren't Randy Pitchford
>tfw you aren't Anthony Burch

Will they put "BadAss" on his tombstone?

Good, now how about making the game people actually fucking care about.

...

Jesus fucking christ.

>maybe if we say it enough, people will start to believe it

Complaining about games you've obviously never played deserves punishment

>operating expenses were up by 28.8 million dollaradinos
No wonder the guy is trying to promote it via 70 R34 pictures.

I wonder how Battleborn would have done if 2K wasn't fucking retarded.

Perhaps a small, but stable, playerbase?

...

>mfw I will never be Randy Pitchford

Sometimes life isn't so bad

The game itself of repellent. Maybe it would've done alright with some character redesigns and cleaned-up UI and effects graphics.

Gonna have to stop you right there user. Borderlands is shit. Shit meme factory. Shit artistic design. Shit story. The only thing it did well was guns, kind of.

I'm sorry Randy but your not the only one counting down the days

Yet another Sup Forums OP where I'm just kind of wondering why I'm supposed to care

I will agree with you all day long about UI and effects, but I actually like some of the character designs.

That and the mechanical designs for minions and the likr are actually pretty good.

I feel happy. I feel haaaappy!

>almost everyone on the face of the earth forgets about battleborn
>total playerbase less than 200 regular players
>out of fucking nowhere randy pipes up on twitter
>"GUYS THERE'S A BATTLEBORN™ R34 SUBREDDIT BUT LOOK WITH CAUTION OK? OH HERE'S A LINK IF ANYONE REALLY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE BATTLEBORN™ R34 SUBREDDIT."

Guys, Randy might be the first big video game figure one to fucking kill himself over failed vidya. Do we stop him somehow or just let it happen?

Randy Pitchford has become a bigger LOLCow than Anthony "Just cuck my shit up" Burch.
Let it happen, it's the fate his dumb ass deserves.

Plenty of F2P games die for a reason, user
Doing slightly well for a month isn't going to break them even.

Always remember, it could be worse.
At least you're not Burch.

let it happen

but at least people buy it

Randy Pitchford's the fucking loon behind Battleborn

Who the fuck is even playing this anymore?

That's cause they literally don't know how to appeal to people with much of anything else in any of their entertainment sectors at this point except in a very few select cases and usually those involve statistically significant degrees of input coming from outside the country. Other than that scenario appealing to lonely otaku via character designs is almost all they know what to work from anymore because they sure don't have the bubble economy and actually talented developers and engineers to drive their gaming market like they did in the 80's and early 90's anymore.

There does seem to be some sort of blatant logical fallacy at play here.

I'd play it more often if the queue times weren't long enough for me to make a five-course dinner while I wait for match.
