>tfw even Battleborn threads die off quickly these days

I miss the 400+ post shitposting threads

It's almost like it's old news.

I really like the game but my fps were always below 40 and now that I have started playing overwatch which runs constantly at 60 fps, I just cant go back.

At least it's not as dead as Savage: Resurrection is. I'm never buying another game by those S2 hacks. They abandon a game each and every time it starts to dip in popularity.

Blizzard has the blood of dozens of games and devs on their hands so why do people still support them?

Apparently they recently announced they were scaling back the servers to cut costs which has resulted in mass disconnects and other problems.

because all shitty game devs must die. we have to weed out the week.

if the jester fails to amuse the king, he shall be BEHEADED!

The only problem Battleborn has is the fps.

The game itself is perfect, if the 60 fps would be consistent. They should have used the Unreal Engine 4 and not 3...


>supporting Blizzard
They went shit tier after WOW:TBC. Most people won't accept that their childhood is over. They think about Blizzard games with feelings as they were kids and not with a rational mind.

Gearbox were actually the ones who though they were hot shit and thought they could post stupid shit like this.

>The game itself is perfect
Except for the shitty dialogue, shitty art direction, shitty way of unlocking characters, lack of diversity in turret building since you can only build specific turrets on specific nodes, etc.

They've moved on to Paladins.

I almost feel bad for Gearbox, though. They had the bad luck to be up against Blizzard, the kings of controlling the narrative. They never even stood a chance. Not because their game was bad or anything like that, but just because Blizzard was never going to let themselves have competition if they could help it.

So a few million dollars in viral marketing later, a few manufactured controversies, and boom, Battleborn "lost", and everyone knows it, so nobody plays Battleborn, so Battleborn actually loses. All the porn probably helped.

i love how hard battleborn failed. fuck randy and his merry band of cucks.

AND GOT SO- w-wait, what?
This can't be happening!

>trying to defend battleborn on Cred Forums
user you're going against the hivemind, there's no point.

>tfw got the season pass and loved it

>The game itself is perfect
We really need to get you some counseling Randy

savage

That's not even that bad, though. It's literally just "hey, we have similar games, I guess we're competing or something, let's make a post about it!". Hell, it could be a joke.

But of course, it all fits into the narrative, don't it? It just makes sense if Gearbox fucked themselves over by being overly-cocky when they had the worse game. It just makes sense if Blizzard, shining paragon of the gaming world, effortlessly deflected low-quality memebait Gearbox with their 10/10 AAA game.

I'm not saying that BB is good at all, because it seriously looked crappy. The quality of the games doesn't really even matter, is what I'm saying. What matters is what you can make people believe. And it's all just so easy to believe, isn't it?

Most of those thing are subjective

It seems that a lot fo the remaining player base are expecting the 1st season pass mission pack to breath new life into the game. The saddest part is that none of these people seem to have caught the little bit at PAX where they said the new story content was actually "bite size" story missions expected to only last approx 30 min a piece.

Well yeah I guess if you love shit you'll love Battleborn

AND GOT SO FAR

>no one except for Cred Forums bought the game
Stats speak for themselves, it's shit. And not only because Cred Forums says it is.

>pander to the squeaky wheel
>realize you just lost all other 3 wheels because of this
>squeaky wheel rolls off the axel to squeak on another car
They really did this to themselves

Gearbox is a shitty company run by huge faggots. I hope they go bankrupt.

Where exactly did the massive budget for this game actually go? How is it possible to spend more than Borderlands 1 and 2 combined and end up with something like battleborn?

same could be said for aliens, randy took the money and put it elsewhere.

season pass a shit same tho

what the fuck do all those buzzwords even mean?

I'M SLOWLY DRIFTING TO

youtube.com/watch?v=FElmjlzdSSM

Yeah, but that's beside the point.

>"We don't even know if people will be interested or not."

well, now they know.

At least paladins has the draw of being free it's already drawing more people just by being free overwatch

Alright

AND GOT SO FAR

Wow, I am sorry, but not only is it far from perfect its just plain bad. The story is bad, the character designs are bad and the item system ingame is there only to get you to grind for useless items.

Someone at Forbes still cares about shitting on this garbage can on fire of a game :D
forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/09/10/in-a-post-overwatch-world-going-f2p-wont-save-battleborn/#18e36f74493c

What is there really left to discuss about Battleborn? Just about everyone understands that it will go down as just another failed Gearbox IP.

When you factor in Borderlands was a stroke of luck they aren't competant devs at all.
Every "original" game they do resembles borderlands to some regard, everything else they touch turns to shit.

It's just another case of a one trick pony winning the show the year everyone else was injured and then trying to stay relevant.

Honestly the reason they I keep on the battleborn hate train is because of how arrogant and delusional Gearbox has been about the game. There was off course the twitter post challenging Overwatch, but there was so much more. Like quickly making ever attempt to distance themselves from overwatch, the fact they kept bragging about how awesome the game was while only using buzz words to describe it and lets not forget they designed this game to be an "e-sports" game.

No amount of hype and fake smiles could get this game off the ground on the "e-sports" scene and hell if they where going to spend any more money on that.

To top it all off, they had made an effort to appear like they where not going to start selling any items for real world money. no less than a month later BAM, the introduce platinum and the first thing out of their mouths is "Well we never technically said we would not, we just said everything would be purchasable with ingame currency, these items need to be purchased with ingame currency . . . that you buy with real world money"

Also they keep introducing more and more expansive "skins" to pump what little playerbase they have for more and more money.

They are the train wreck of a game that just keeps getting worse and worse.

Also did I mention the Stillborn diehards are funny to watch as well.

You are actually spot on here. It seems like ever since the release of BL1/2 they have been trying desperately to prove that they are not a one hit wonder studio.

...

>Battleborn
>Not an E-Sport

I would like all you dirty Bli$$shills to know that the last major Battleborn tournament had 2 ENTIRE TEAMS show up to compete.

Yeah, but that dev did not spend anywhere as much money or their reputation on that game as gearbox did with Battleborn.

>really like the Borderlands series
>hate everything Gearbox stands for

wat do

Man, that's enough for a first AND a second place team. Wow, that is 1 and 1/2 more teams than I was expecting.

Just continue to pirate each new Borderlands installment.

>COME AT ME BRO
t. Gearbox to Blizzard

But I play them with a mate online

didn't overwatch come out and then everyone jumped the train to try and get a game out also.

>I feel bad for gearbox

fucking why? it was their choice to try and ape Overwatch's success
it's like if they saw HL3 was finally coming out, so they decided to make a game called "full life" that was shockingly similar (but slightly worse), and release it at the same time as HL3, then wonder why it didn't sell

they completely set themselves up for failure by trying to directly compete with Blizzard
I don't even like Blizzard and I think that's a fucking stupid idea just based on their rabid fanbase and popularity

>think of buying a borderlands game
>visualize myself handing over some money to anthony burch
best

Battleborn was ultimately sunk by Gearbox's unwillingness to listen to its fan base and fix core issues with the game in a timely manner. As it stands the game is still stuck with broken matchmaking and very sub-par optimization.

You sounds like one of dem GG bigots!

youtube.com/watch?v=_IPZTRCu664

>Plug your ears and go "lalalalala I'm not listening, I'm ignoring you!"
>Adults do this now
Why is this okay?

At this point I want to see the game just drop below 100 players at peak ours and seeing gearbox still make shitty DLC content they charge people for.

Look at these skins, they are god awful but there are people who still spent like 7$ on them.

This is a by-product of the era of memes we live in.
Adults don't mature mentally until they're 50 or something.

Wait a couple of years until news comes out that 2K is suing Gearbox for embezzling Battleborn money to Borderlands 3.

they're legally obligated to

No man, people where always like this. Society did just "start getting immature" when memes showed up. There where always people who did not like getting called out for their bullshit and decided to ignore the person who called them out.

They have no choice but to actually deliver the promised season pass content in some form.

Translation
>Battleborn is: shit

>I almost feel bad for Gearbox, though. They had the bad luck to be up against Blizzard

They fucking picked their fight, son. They chose to release their turd of a game on the same week as fucking Overwatch. What the fuck did they expect to happen? It was a 60-pound dweeb charging into a 900-pound silverback. If there was a single sane brain in the office, they would have delayed their launch four months or so, maybe spend some of that time to make the game less shit.

>watches too much game of thrones

You can do that with pirated copy.

Looks like some Fisher Price ripoff.

Yeah, but at that point it will be more of a walk of shame than anything else. They have to work on something that hurts their little ego every time they look at it. There work on it will only get shitier and shitier.

They have already said that their story DLC will be "snack bite" or something. It's the closest thing we have to sending a game dev to the chalk board to write what they did wrong over and over again.

Soon there will be more playable characters than players.

Art schools are going to use Stillborn as a case study of character design going horribly wrong.

They couldn't afford to delay the game a 2nd time.

I would love to see that. But I am not sure that will actually happen. If it is happening and you have some pics please share :D

>white man blocks "misogynistic and racist" Mohammad

this will never not make me laugh. very few people get so completely btfo by the internet

Each of the new mission DLC were confirmed to actually be quick 30 min quests instead of sprawling new missions at PAX.

Overwatch is not the reason Battleborn failed, despite how much the diehard fans want to believe. The game is just shitty and instead of attempting to fix it, Gearbox is just going to milk what little they can out of it.

...

>$300 tournament prize

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Figures. Make a a crap game and then do as little as you are legally obligated to do.

>Overwatch is not the reason Battleborn failed

It sure as fuck didn't help them though.

Realistically, Battleborn wouldn't have been very successful even if it was the only game released that year. The game looks like an acid nightmare and sounds like ear rape. But the fact that it was released at the same time as a hundred times better game in the same fucking genre, that's just down right cruel.

And I'm not even an OW fanboy. I think OW is overrated and people will get tired of it within a year or so. But fuck, compared to BB it's like getting a blowjob from god.

I actually looked it up, they had to delay the tournament and increase the prize to 400$ to get enough teams to participate.

The other tournament that is planned to happen in a couple of days has no teams registered but it seems they set up the tournament in the hopes of having 32 teams. Not sure how well that will turn out since even with real money prizes they could only get at most 6.

People of color literally can't be racist this is common knowledge cmon Randy is 2015

>Overwatch is not the reason Battleborn
It sure as hell made me notbeven give it a second glance until the memes started.

don't care about battleborn but to be honest i'm very surprised at how sucessful overwatch is. how and where did they even market their shit? it's like one day suddenly all my friends knew about it and wanted to play it.
is it their cinematic trailers? that's how i learned about this game.

battleborn was bound to fail with designs like that. even the title typography is cheap looking as fuck.

youtube.com/watch?v=eA4KQ7Imu4w

They actually spent the enitre last half of the play through of the new DLC at PAX trying to justify the terribly short length of each mission by telling people they could get badass new dialog from each character they replay it with.

It might have sold more initially, but there would be no more people playing it than there are now because nobody can tolerate Battleborn's level of bad regardless of the existence of competition. If Battleborn was the only videogame in existence there would still only be triple digit players

Battleborn hate thread?

Someone needs to take their ability to use the word "badass" away from them. They have abused it like a red headed step child.

The word means NOTHING coming form them. It is there go to word when they have NOTHING meaningful to say.

...

More screeching ear-shattering dialogue? SIGN ME UP

Better marketing, better characters, Pixar level cinematic.

OW is just casual pandering at its best. It's extremely polished and all that jazz which is the Blizzard standard. But it's also shallow and suffers from Blizzard's typical see-saw balance changes, which I swear are intentional because they want people to latch on to the fotm to encourage buzz and discussion about the game.

Twitch views of OW has been dropping pretty low.

Why does crowbcat keep taking things out of context in his videos?

Yes friend, come in, have a seat by the dumpster fire we have set up. We have bats by the chips and dip for you to use to beat this dead horse.

Today I was confused.
>Speaking with friend during holiday class
>Says he has to leave early
>Why leave me here
>He has to skateboard over to EB Games
>To buy Battleborn at $30 for his friends "ON SALE"
>I ask why they want it
>"They were getting tired of Overwatch, so they wanted to try Battleborn"

We both didn't understand, why. DO you?

What the fuck is a holiday class
Who the fuck uses a skateboard as actual transportation
No I don't understand a goddamn thing about this

30$, he was getting ripped off.

They could not sell copies of Battleborn for 15$ in the humble bundle, and it came with like 12 other games!

>hello sir what is your order at McDonalds?
>err, hey! Aren't you the guy who worked on Battleborn?
>yes it's me, Randy Pitchford, but I prefer not to think about that
>is it true that you were completely destroyed by Overwatch?
>y-y-y-yes sir but they were all just a bunch of #GamerGate bigots s-s-s-sir

What I love about how battleborn flopping isnt the game deserving it but how it proves that people will defend eating shit because they bought it at a high price and to not come to think themselves as stupid (aka BAD) they delude themselves and scream and trash about how they didnt.

I could go join psychology classes and write a paper on it and have straight A's all the way trough.

Thread theme song.
picosong.com/T2R7/

THE GAME WAS SABOTAGED BY ROCK PAPER SHOTGUN! HOW DARE THEY USE THE RELATIVE TERM "FLOPPED" WHEN TALKING ABOUT BATTLEBORN!!

Is the spider thing a Battleborn joke? Randomly saying spider? Is that the joke?

>The game itself is perfect

then why is no one playing it?

Delete this FUCKING thread then delete your FUCKING life

You clearly dont understand the battleborn
player-bases sophisticated sense of humor.

Boo Hoo

I love it because you can explain so many horrible things trough mankinds history with buyrrs denial of battleborn.
It just lays down the faults of the human mind perfectly.

Get fucked

Yeah, it was rock paper shotgun that did all the damage. Nothing else.

Wait, is that why there's a penguin in the game? That can't be it, right? Full grown adults couldn't have based a character on a several year old pasta.

Hey Randy.

I honestly wouldn't put it past them.

I already updated this image once before but it's not even worth the effort anymore

There's more people playing SS13 than Battleborn now

Overwatch is shallow, but no one seems to care.

SavRez was never popular

This post sounds like a restaurant complaining about bad reviews on Yelp and losing business when the owners are asses.

Also, it might soon be a law where a company can not sue people for legitimate bad complaints on Yelp.

Damn Randy and Burch to hell and back. There's so much potential in the Borderlands universe and this is the shit we end up with.
Anyone want to guess what the memes will be in Borderlands 3?
I'm guessing IT'S HAPPENING will be there.

Well yeah, at least vgstation is good.

>/vg/station is good

they could have saved that game if they decided to put it free to play about a month ago , now its too late

>Not because their game was bad or anything like that

But Battleborn is fucking terrible by just about every metric.

>lengthy progression system so they can try and pull a battlefield/garden warfare and try and charge players to unlock shit later down the line.
>muh value for money meme

Deserved

>implying it isn't
Bay pls go

Could you maybe post how exactly Blizzard brainwashed millions of people into NOT buying Battleborn? I'm failing to see the connection.

They didn't. But Battleborn fans have to blame someone so why not mean old Blizzard.

Free to play would have done absolutely nothing for player retention. Look at the player count now vs the over 2000 at peak that the game only sustained for about 2 weeks during the humble bundle.

Anyone defending Battleborn's gameplay is an idiot.
>It was f-fun, they just couldn't compete with Blizzard!
Nah. At it's core, Battleborn has issues that led to its own demise. For fucks sake, the game was on sale on Humblebundle which boosted it's population to around a 2,000 average for a couple of weeks, and already it's back to sub-1,000 numbers. If the game was fundamentally good it would've been able to stand on it's own regardless of Overwatch's competition.

I don't want this piece of shit you're offering me

But it's free! That's means you'll at least take it anyway right?

They also tired very HARD to get people to go the 15$ tier in order to get Battleborn. Adding the Battleborn skins in the tier right before that.

>he doesnt know why 'SPIDERS!' is funny. SPIDERS!!!

SPIDERS!

xD

Oh, the idiot didn't realize that XD is a face laughing and thought people are just randomly ending their sentences on the internet with spider symbols. He is just adding it because he things that is how you end a conversation on the internet. With spiders!

>autist tile-based 2d atmos simulator with poorly rigged on game with autists and bullies playing is more popular than stillborn

a bit sad really

Go to your bank, withdraw some money, wipe your shitty ass and flush it, because thats what you just did.

Everyone, I am running out of Battleborn pics and gifs. So start posting Gifs that best represent the your opinion of Battleborn and Gearbox.

Surely this can't continue forever, I mean only an idiot would still give money to Gearbox right?

NOBODY LIKES A BULLY...

Are there even enough active players to get 32 teams going?

they spent most of their budget hiring "diverse" people and "epic" voice actors

Well keep in mind we don't know and probably will never know whats really going on with the costs and the amount of money they have earned and spent. They said they spent a lot of money but we only have their word on that and they sure as hell are not sharing how much they made. For all we know they are writing off Battleborn as a natural disaster on their taxes.

So your stock may not be effected.

i'm surprised they didn't waste more money trying to copyright 'badass'

sell your shit before 2k/gearbox does their financial briefing and announces to their investors the game is shit

Probably won't to return it after

They also have stuff like Rockstar, their sports game publishing houses, and shit like XCOM 2. Gearbox isn't just a drop in the bucket or anything, but they're pretty widely diversified in the games market.
