Battleborn is going to Free-to-Play

You can unlock all the heroes just fine with in-game gold and it's not even a high amount.

I hate to break the bubble but even for fucking FREE this game is still not worth the time of day.

Paladins is also boring.

paladins is an awful game though

Are we sure for a fact it's all future heroes? There's so much potential for bullshit. Not that I'm saying Blizzard isn't capable of it too. I'm predicting free content until they decide Overwatch needs an "Expansion"

Yeah they'll probably just release expansions instead. That way they can make more money without releasing DLC lol.

>Gearbox reportedly wanted Battleborn to be a free game from the start.

Randy please.

Isn't this a kick in the balls for the ones who paid for this game?

I mean they were idiots, but still.

Paladins is the poor man's version of Overwatch.
and like all runescape tier games they should be ignored.

I wonder how its leddit and steam forums are going

I'M SLOWLY DRIFTING TO YOU

Blizzard doesn't know the meaning of the word free. Even their "free" games aren't free.

Paladins is also a shit game.

while paladins has an amazing micro transaction policy in that deal, overwatch is leaps and bounds higher production quality.

Didn't the game drop to like $20 like a month after release?

If it comes from Randy Pitchford's mouth I assume it's a lie by default

Too bad overwatch is loaded with unfun casualized horseshit

...

$35 when Overwatch launched and a few weeks later $15 in humble bundle.

Nah I feel lucky actually, we got to enjoy the game for many hours while it was still alive. Now others will get to waste their time trying to play a dead game.

My local Walmart, which never EVER fucking drops prices has it for like 19.99.

For perspective, games from last year are still at full price.

>Overwatch is worth the $40
HAHAHAHAHA

Do you love the Cuck Shop?

But hey all those free heroes...
Oh right it's only one shitty heal sniper...

But all those free maps...
...
Only a shitty map so far...

But they are adding the Cuck Shop on a regular basis BEST GAME EV444444444444444

What game isn't? and it's a FPS, so it automatically draws in the kiddos.

...

Do I need to "unlock" heroes or can I play all from the start?

This is the only information I need.

$40 for a community largely full of casual shit players who dont understand the concept of an objective based game. splatoon all over again

and yes i did buy OW

when I grow up I'm going to marry Orendi

Feminism is awesome!

The same man who claimed it was unfair to bully his should-have-been-free game.

The dude has been trainwreck after trainwreck since A:CM.

There is no way Anthony Burch left Gearbox. No way at all. He has to have been promoted to shadow leader or something. There is no other way to explain just how fucking cucked Gearbox has been just recently. None at all.

>Cuck cuck! cuck cuck cuck! YAY INTERNETS XD

what is the kek shop? i don't much about either game, does this actually exist? or are you referring to the dumb loot boxes again?

>mfw people bought this for $60 at launch
>mfw people bought this for $12 in a humblebundle months later thinking that it was a great deal

Gonna be full of pinoys lmao enjoy your peenoise game

I guess feminism wasnt awesome after all

Even if you paid me, I still wouldn't play it.

And I am still not going to play it.

actually it's going to be full of cheaters like me. thanks gearbox.

Holy shit, this user is a genius. Runescape is competition to WoW, so as a shill, you're killing two birds with one stone with that comparison. I'm calling Blizzard, you're getting promoted user.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA

This is Hi-Rez we're talking about bro

If you honestly think you're going to get everything for free after paying once you're literally dillusional

I still put 10 hours into, more than overwatch. It would have been more if the characters werent behind a grind

>mfw people bought this for $12 in a humblebundle months later thinking that it was a great deal

One friend tried to convince me to by a copy back then.

I guess we could play together when this goes f2p finally.

I love these F2P garbage millennial games.

there's something so satisfying about watching a huge company publicly fall flat on it's face.

He is right though. You are a cuck. Blizzards games all pulled a 180° and are nothing but jeware.
Starcraft 2? let's sell the same game 3x!
Diablo 3? RMAH!
Overwatch? Let's charge full price but also include a shop!
WoW? Boy, don't even get me started on this one...

youtu.be/M3YnN74V-EI

Watch it go down like Evolve F2P did. 3 weeks it reached a million downloads and then it died because the game was still bad. Now it only has 2,000 playing.

Wait, you have to grind for the heroes?

I thought you paid money for the game?

it's okay when blizzard does it

It can't be much worse than it is now.

This is fantastic news. Soon I'll have three great Not-Overwatch shooters to play for free.

Reminder that there are actual shit-eating Blizzcucks on Cred Forums

These people will play the most casualized dumbed-down horseshit available and call it "quality" in the same breath

Shame really, the game has a shitload of potential but they shat it up by trying to compete with fucking Overwatch when they should have just waited a year and added some more fucking stages.

That said, it DOES reference shitting dicknipples, so at least one person with sense and taste was involved in this game.

>laughin for 20 aeons

have I been transported back to 2012?

Blizzard doesn't sell day one DLC so they aren't that jew. Also the RMAH was shut down so it's kind of a moot point. Starcraft 2 being sold as three separate games was bullshit and I don't think anyone can defend that though. I'm more pissed about no lan support and not being able to adjust the game speed in online play. I fucking hate fast.

Shut up retard.

Kill yourself first, horizontal posting memewad

>Even with aimbot enemies still don't look like they're taking much damage

What's the point?

Neat. I've been wanting to pick it up again.
It scratched that MNC itch pretty well.

I bought it for half-price at launch and got like 90 hours out of it, so I'm cool.

>mfw people who bought the season pass have a literal "brand of the goy" because they have a golden podium in the pre-match selection screen
I don't think it can be toggled off either.

>4 months ago
>good times

ONE! NOTHING'S WRONG WITH ME!

what's important is the fact that they DID make a lot of money. Sure, it EVENTUALLY got patched out. But only after the game declined so severely. And even that was a busniness choice. Nobody would have bought the Add-on if not fot that.

>it's kind of a moot point
No it's not. Up to the point when it was closed they made a shitton of money through it.

TWO! NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!

>defending battleborn

You're right Battleborn is a master piece and the fact Overwatch has over 10 million players and that game died a lot is that 10 million people are retarded. Good arguement ;)

LOL

>what is Smite?

Everything in the shop is adquired, and easily adquired through regular gameplay.

It's also just cosmetics.
Not to mention every map, update or hero is gonna be free with a guaranteed big patch every month.

OW is the only good thing blizz has done in a long, long ass time, if there's anything to be worried about is the future that they might fuck it up somehow with some game changing shit.

...

GREENBACK BOOGIE

Battleborn has an ingame shop too you know right?

$40 is not full price though. $60 is full price.

and it's a 60$ game

Every game has one

Only one person said overwatch is higher quality, no one else even mentioned overwatch and just said paladins is shit, they could think overwatch is shit too but you just assume their shills because you love using buzzwords.

>He plays shooters on consoles

lmao retard

Every single game has an in game shot nowadays but Cred Forums likes to shitpost.

If anything overwatch is tame with the game price and how you get everything for free

>YFW You didn't buy Battleborn and still won't play it now it's FTP

Then the point of Overwatch being bad because it's a 40$ game with an in-game shop is invalid.

People in general are retarded though.

The game sold because of the extreme shilling, porn and Blizzard's name.

>The source, speaking under condition of anonymity, said that developer Gearbox had wanted to make Battleborn free-to-play from the get-go, but publisher 2K preferred to sell it as a standard $60 retail product. The game flopped, in part thanks to a glut of hero shooters like Blizzard’s Overwatch, which launched in the same month as Battleborn.

1. Don't you jerks blame Battleborn's mediocre sales on Gearbox or Mr. Pitchford.
2. I told you this was Overwatch's fault. Blizzard has been sabotaging Battleborn from the start.

>was still alive

Let's be honest, it was never alive. It was a stillbirth

A shameless ripoff is cheaper than the game it shamelessly rips off? That one could argue is a shameless (yet polished) ripoff itself.

No way dude.

Maybe but it wouldn't keep rising if it was just that.
It's legitimately a good game, albeit a bit lacking.

>Gearbox reportedly wanted Battleborn to be a free game from the start.

>w-w-w-we wanted the game to be f2p from s-start! That's why we sold the game for 60 bucks when Overwatch was 40 bucks

So what you're saying is that when battleborn launched it was already completely overshadowed and outdone by the overwatch beta.

And then when it went F2P it was already killed by the OW clone, Paladins?

Did Gearbox just make a game that got double-cucked?

That is impressive.

>not even the free beta was enough to keep my interest

Still better than Paladins

They can't run away from their fate

Too little too late, Gearbox.
Just stop shoveling money into this dumpster fire and make more Borderlands.

Overwatch is a casual game that's fit more for the WiiU than for PC, prove me wrong
protip: blizz dumping money into an unsustainable comp mode is not success

>2. I told you this was Overwatch's fault. Blizzard has been sabotaging Battleborn from the start.
How?

>And then when it went F2P it was already killed by the OW clone, Paladins?
Lol
There's no escaping

really all that matters is who get's the remnants of TF2's audience, and with blizz 100% sponsoring STAR_ the positions pretty much already taken

Randy pls

I legitimatly like this game. Will ftp user be able to play with those who purchased? I'd like that.

>And then when it went F2P it was already killed by the OW clone, Paladins?

This is so fucking funny now that you mention it.

By changing Overwatch's beta release date to the day of Battleborn's launch. That's 100% sabotage right there.

I'm not Randy you meme spewing child.

>Wii U Procontroller
>FPS

its a ergonomic controller and works really well with most games but fuck no nigga what the literal fuck is wrong with you anthony burch dick sucking niggerfag.

>By changing Overwatch's beta release date to the day of Battleborn's launch. That's 100% sabotage right there.

Wow, a game wanted to fight againt it's competitor?
And that's what you think a sabotage is?

Mr Pitchford/Burch, please

>And that's what you think a sabotage is?

Yes, it is sabotage.

I'M SLOWLY DRIFTING TO

I think he's talking about gyro. It works really well if ya tried splatoon.

Paladins is already F2P so it's not an appropriate comparison.

>0.01 cents has been deposited into your Blizzard Heroes(TM) account. Thank you for Correcting The Record(TM)!

I hope that Cred Forums will at least be sensible enough to give Overwatch the "worst fanbase" award on the Cred Forumsgas next year. Actively trying to drown smaller games isn't cool.

Hey Battleborn started it. Maybe they should have shut the fuck up on twitter.

Randy Pitchford, please

>Blizzard Heroes

what? you mean Battlenet?

No, sabotage is something you do from within.
If people prefered to play the Overwatch beta rather than playing Battleborn at launch, then I think that says more about Battleborn and Gearbox than about Blizzard.

It isn't about them trashtalking other games, that happens.

It's just how delusional they are about it. They've convinced themselves Paladins ripped of OW, that OW DIDN'T rip off TF2, that OW is a non-casual game, or that Blizzard gives a shit about them. It's honestly funny.

>Cred Forums: 2013 - 2015
> MOBAS

>Cred Forums: 2016 - ????

I'm not surprised Overwatch fans lack a basic grasp of the English language.

>he doesn't know

I love splatoon but i was gonna say it wouldn't work well with smaller bullets but

>Overwatches hitboxes are so big they might as well be streams of chunky ink

GG

Battleborn is more moba than shooter.
But people like to act like its like OW for some reason.

>battle.net
Please do not mention anything that may refer to our past. Here at Blizzard(TM) we like to move forward, so please do not bring up topics such as
>Battle.net(still TM'd)
>vanilla WoW
>Diablo III launch
Thank you!

>> Class-based shooters
these are just MOBAs in first person

t. tried quick play a few times on beta as Bastion and thinks he was hot shit for getting a potg

>he wasn't around before /vg/ when /lolg/ and /fgg/ were as much a part of Cred Forums as the seventh-gen console wars, ironic shitposting and the TORtanic

So you're telling me there's literally no reason not to buy Battleborn for $20 on Amazon right now to get a leg up on the competition before it goes F2P and have fun in the meantime?

Thanks, ordering now!

I remember when someone said Paladins ripped off Ovderwatch because it had cross symbols when someone was being healed
Honestly every claim of Paladins being a ripoff of Overwatch just points to Overwatch being a bigger ripoff of TF2

>thinking you've got a shot in the Battleborn Pro League

What I gather from this is that they tried to create a Frankenstein's monster that would be the ultimate eSport but it went horribly wrong.

Rainbow 6 is a moba?

> "xD ur just a nub!!! git gud :^)) i'm a widow main"
Even then, I hate the POTG system, it just proved how cow-of-doody this game is.
"Why bother with the point? nobody cares if you win, just try to get a lot of kills"

they are obviously blizzshills that's what this entire section is about you underage newfaggot cuck fuck piece of shit

tf2's just a ripoff of quake anyway

which was a ripoff of doom

which was a ripoff of wolfenstein

which was a ripoff of world war 2

which was a ripoff of world war 1

I actually enjoy watching battle born. But I'm pretty sure there ain't no competitive scene

To me, it sounds like they tried to make Not-Borderlands mashed with a MOBA.
Just like with fetishes, shit get weirder the more you mash together.
This is why you focus and refine the things that you're good at.

>Team Fortress 2 (2007)
>Team Fortress Classic (1999)

Wow, Blizzard deliberately tried to make people buy their game instead of Battleborn?

Your days are numbered Overfuckingshits. The second this goes F2P it will kill both Overwatch and Paladins.

Blizzard cannot compete against characters like these.

youtube.com/watch?v=dvZleoeFiZY

>Blizzard cannot compete against characters like these.
I'm sure they'll try their Ernest, though

IT'S OKAY YOU GUYS
I DIDN'T WANT TO CHARGE MONEY ANYWAYS
SO THERE'S THAT

I mean I think osker mike and pheobe are better than most of OW cast.

reminder that randy is so poor had to steal his suit for pax

>he doesn't know about YouTube Heroes

DUDE BADASS LMAO

>Battleborn goes F2P
>Makes all it's money back with extra cash because whales are fucking stupid and have no standards

Whats going on!? Tell me!

There's a serious flaw in your logic there that I'm not even going to point out.

Well I guess I'll give the game a try when it goes free, then. From the gameplay I've seen it doesn't look TERRIBLE, the voice acting is gonna be annoying, though.

the "battle" part of battlenet was triggering so they decided to change it to be more family friendly.

YouTube is starting a program that rewards people for mass reporting videos and "cleaning up YouTube" or some stupid bullshit like that.

Iirc, you can turn off the dialogue in the options menu.

All games of this type, whatever they are called, are utterly worthless. They are boring and simplistic.
If you think any of them is actually good, you have the shittiest possible taste. Except for maybe the shitters that play dota etc.

youtu.be/Wh_1966vaIA
Just..
Look for yourself.

IM SLOWLY DRIFTING TO

Look, the only decent character in the game who still screams all dialogue like everyone else.

N-nani?!

>lets make everyone a mod! what could possibly go wrong?

Why is he pink? He was so cute when he was red!

What a shit looking character.

Ah, just like the good old times in nazi germany.

>yeah, fuck paying for moderation

5 months to late.

>you get points by reporting people

Youtube heroes is worse, we're literally gonna have people who sit on youtube all day with a group of likeminded people to shut down channels and videos they don't like

mfw I bought battleborn on g2a
mfw I don't regret my purchase

Welp, youtube is killing itself, where do I go now ?

Dailymotion.

wow, good for u m8
>hey, everybody look how cucked I am

...

But is it coming to PC?
Please Miyazaki, you can't leave us behind like that :(

Waiting in half an hour long match queues doesnt count.

metacafe

There is absolutely no way this isn't going to go horribly wrong.

I'm glad to see how poorly rated the video itself is. I thought for sure people were going to jump all over it, thinking google was doing them a favor by allowing them to do all the moderation work for free.

...

It's funny how the original video said "report negative videos" and now it says "report innaprorpiate videos accurately"

>JUST under 5 months of releasing for $60.
Why don't some of these companies, realizing that they need large player bases, decide to sell their games for $40 or $30 on launch to ensure they get a decent number of players?

>Gearbox reportedly wanted Battleborn to be a free game from the start.

oh well

Does this shit even have waifu's worth ripping for SFM porn? Might get some worth out of this trash.

>not posting the Joker that's literally a mom

on what planet is runescape in the same league of success as wow

Yeah, that's why they charged 60 buck sfor it

I find it really hard to believe that even F2P would help battleborn's terrible player retention. If they honestly want this game to succeed as a F2P product that a lot of the core gameplay needs to be adjusted.

fuck/marry/kill

demoman, bomb king, junkrat?

Still not gonna play it

...

Absolutely not because the art direction is trash

I guess they found a way to keep jerks out, but it worked too well and kept everyone out

OW is as bad about this as Randy Bitchford.

For a while it was the most popular free MMO in the world.

Fuck Junkrat, marry Bomb King for that sweet sweet money, kill demoman because why would anyone want to marry an alcoholic

Someone tweet to randy that not only are they competing against overwatch, they also have to struggle against paladins.

Fucking even F2P won't save stillborn!

>tfw only 0.5% of people in the program would actually mass report extremely graphic videos
What if I did said thing and told the people who are removing videos because it hurts only themselves to fuck off?

>tfw to intelligent to play overwatch

But Paladins is just smite with 3rd person Overwatch elements, It's actual garbage.

I cant wait for them to not finish this game aswell so they can hop on another bandwagon.

...

why even try to cosplay if you dont have the body type??? god

What the fuck am i looking at.

The gameplay they showed here makes me not want to play it at all. Corpses instantly dissolve, he reloads his weapon when it's still full, the animations are piss poor and the explosions looked empty and weightless.

Its worse than that. All guns are peashooters, everything takes ages to kill.

What a fucking joke

??? It's really similar dude
pm only the face is off, but that's every cosplay
If you're going to be pedantic, the boobs are too big and the ass is that much too small. but other, fine.

Better than all the shit "look at this bodysuit I bought off amazon" D.Va cosplays, anyway,

>Make a pink chicken
>give it the voice of a black guy
Why?
It doesn't fit at all.

The sad part, is that I probably won't even bother to download it out of pity...

C'mon man one pity download is all Randy is asking for.

It's only okay when I like it.

>my chinese knockoff is better cause it's cheaper!

Of course you're a frog poster

>trial version.

So people can sit around in a match queue for the 30 minutes the trial version allows you to play for free?

Hubris, they believe they shit diamonds and if a game sells poorly it was everyone else's fault but theirs.

Battlefield is a MOBA?
