Battleborn goes f2p

>>379356605
I don't waste my time on shitty games desu

Character design is still ugly, horrible writing and dialogue, awful color choices, awful HUD and visibility problems.

Basically a very unpleasant experience to play

>>379356682
That isn't very badass of you.

>>379356605
don't have 40 gb free space and last time i've tried in beta had horrible performance on my potato pc

Spiral Knights is also F2P and infinitely more enjoyable

So whats Randy saying on about it?

I don't want this game to appear in my steam library or have any record of me playing it.

>>379356605
I'm just not especially interested in the game. Visually it's a clusterfuck, none of the character designs are good, and the gameplay doesn't look amazing to me. Now normally I could just say it's just my first impressions and I should just actually play the game, but considering how absurdly difficult it's been for the game to get a decent playerbase, I don't think it's far off.

Paladins is a way more fun hero shooter/OW clone than Battleborn is.

Already playing Battleborn.

More fun than Overwatch. I didn't know that you can enjoy a game, because Overwatch always feels like work. I never had fun with Overwatch but Battleborn is fun so far. So many really different heroes and the maps feel more alive.

In Overwatch everything feels just like shit. Your team sucks? No competitive currency for you and enjoy your deranking with over 50 points. You have a Hanzo in you Plat group? GG! You want to play Symmetra? Enjoy the autist Overwatch community and how they will "communicate" with you.

Overwatch is the only game in my whole life where I can't play more than 2 game because of how tiresome everything is.

probably should have made the full game upgrade $10. $30 is asking a bit too much.

I love the game and I wish people would give it a chance, but Gearbox makes it so hard every freaking time with their every breath.

Now that they finally released f2p, they are gating players between new and old, so that still little playerbase can't find matches, and those who do experience server issues because of fucking course they do.

Screwing up the last chance their game had so hard is so Gearbox. Well, R.I.P at last, I hope I am wrong, but I'm afraid I know that I'm right.

going f2p sure worked well for evolve. can't wait to see what it will do for battleborn

My excuse is that if I wanted a shitty ripoff of a much more well-polished, more stylistic, more fun game, I would stop playing TF2 and play Overwatch instead; no need to go 14 rungs down the ladder of good games. It's like being at the end of a Human Centipede, except the humans are development companies and the shit/vomit/food is gameplay mechanics. Randy PitchBitch is the equivalent of the end of the human centipede, and his 4th-degree pile of shit is this fucking game. I would install Battleborn if I desperately wanted to pound some poorfag pussy in a competitive battle arena objective-based shooter, which I can already do to shitters in about every other battle arena objective-based shooter. Even if you are meme shilling, you're still shilling this trash game.

It appears, results are gonna be even worse for Battleborn. Evolve at the very least got a giant playerbase boost, but couldn't keep the players in the game. Battleborn has all means to keep the players in the game, but it seems that game has so much bad rep that most people will simply not even give it a chance, unfortunately.

If you have been around since the beginning or joined anytime between then and when the Free Trial launched, you at some point have wished for more people to play this awesome game. Well Gearbox has taken the first huge leap by giving this great game a Free Trial, now WE have to do our part. Post stuff on social media, promote the free trial on forums, message your friends on the platform you play on telling them the good news, share YouTube videos from your favorite Battleborn content creators (if you don't have any, check out Mental Mars & Lftstrafe to get started). We have to get the word out there. There is absolutely no reason for someone not to try the game now.

I have been one to complain about lack of players in the past and que times...if you are like me, we have the power to change that now. Let's also try to stay positive in forums and welcoming to new players. Help them understand things, answer questions, pick people up for a game to show them the ropes.

Let's "Make Battleborn Great Again"!

I'm that person, and I was advocating for it to go f2p long time ago, when it could actually change something. I wanna play the game I spent money on, you know, not just for it to sit silently in my library.

Too little too late because the game is trash, really. Plays like ass, looks like ass, and sold like ass which makes playing it even more of a grind. This trial didn't even manage to let the game break 1K concurrent players on Steam so far.

It's like performing half-hearted CPR on a stillborn that has been rotting away since May last year.

>>379356605
let me give you an idea on how much motivation i had for this, I downloaded this while I was busy, I played like 10 minutes of it, then I got off and came here. I was more motivated to shitpost about the game going F2P than to actually try it out for myself, and frankly, i'm having an infinitely better experience doing so.

It brought back/gained a lot of people for Evolve, though. And release Battleborn was a giant fucking mess to the point that it felt like sabotage to me that they released the game in such state. It has since fixed a lot of glaring issues it had, and would it be released now without the huge hate it has across the internet - the thing would went far differently. And as far as I know - they even fucked up this f2p transition with even more bugs and server issues. If they only could not fuck up their releases, because you get only one chance to make first impression.

>>379365097

Randy just gives you a trial, with stupid restrictions and they didn't bother to advertise it, they should just kill the game right now, I bet servers cost more than this game made.

and it was originally supposed to be a sequel to another lo rez game,lets look at the facts

extremely poor overwatch ripoff,obviously stolen from torbjorn,first character in any videogame ever that builds towers,also the first dwarf
to ever exist in any creative media ,to make it even more blatant he has a torbjorn skin called "torbjorn barik",pic related

sillier reinhardt ripoff,both are foreign and both use a flamethrower,also both stun people after succesfully hitting 4 basic attacks in a row and both are ice themed and have a cool moustache

he´s asian and uses a bow(blizzard invented bows),you have to be dumb to not realize he´s a hanzo ripoff,are you dumb?

Private Roycewicz(also known as soldier 76) ripoff,they even are both russian
>androxus
he´s edgy just like reaper so he´s a reaper ripoff,but he also uses a gun that he uses to shoot at people just like mccree,and also jumps around
in the sky and flies exactly like mccree so i think he´s more of a mccree ripoff
>evie
can become ice to avoid attacks just like lissandra from dota 2(MOBA created by almighty blizzard),and can fly around in a magic broom and teleport just like lord voldemort(character
from the Overwatch wizards expansion pack)

there's not even any news or notice on steam frontpage stating that it went f2p.
nobody around me knows about it except for /v/

that's funny that you mention this, despite the fact that the game could've drastically changed during development to be more like overwatch


titan was scrapped and its assets were turned into overwatch, you don't even consider the possibility?

I'm not saying overwatch has any super original ideas, but hi-rez is an incredibly shitty company.

I just want to avenge Aliens. It still frustrates me how empty-headed the average gamer is. Everyone is joking about how Gearbox got what they deserved, but the only reason this game flopped is because it released alongside Overwatch. No one boycotted it. As soon as Borderlands 3 releases everyone will go back to supporting Gearbox and showing that deception and fraud do pay off.

>>379367902
there are small ammounts of pre-ow paladins footage in youtube and twitch,the characters were the same(way stronger though) and it looked competely different,like an entirely different game

Man this shit flopped for reasons beyond Overwatch. It'd be one thing if it just didn't sell as well as OW but managed to retain a cult following but it couldn't even manage that and hemorrhaged players overnight. Please believe that Gearbox's incompetence and Randy's idiocy are the majority of why this game tanked as hard as it did, Overwatch helped but there are numerous issues, both with the game itself and beyond that dug its grave.

It almost nothing like Overwatch.

>>379370456
I played the beta a millenia ago. It was ok and some of the characters actually had some interesting ability sets and the game actually isn't like Overwatch at all with the leveling up midgame etc., but it was never something I would have considered spending money on.

it did

>>379370456

I really gave thia game a chance just now. The game isn't bad, it is just super mediocre. The story mission made me play as a angsty dyke elf and she just was annoying. Running feels awkward, shooting is pretty good, but abilities just feel wierd for a lot of characters. I think the robot cane sniper dude is one of the more enjoyable characters to play.

The artstyle can only be classified as "obnlxious". Neon bright colors everwhere just for the sake of being colorful. The animated cartoon scenes are neat, but those are rare and a lot of scenes are lazy still shots.

It truely is a 5/10 game, 6/10 at best.

I don't think it's actually possible, at least not since free TRIAL. There's zero indication in the game about anything but credits unlocking characters.

I guess it took some of them all of yesterday to actually install the game.

What is the name of the character literally modeled after Brianna Wu?

>>379368786
Amazing.

>Where's your excuse now?
You're right, I just don't like Randy Pitchford to even play this game.

>Character design is still ugly
Jeff, at least Battleborn has more hero designs than Overwatch with its 10 or so Mercy and Soldier reskins

That tiny bump is Jan '17 was when they gave away codes for the deluxe edition of their game at some convention. I think PAX?

This.

I don't like Battleborn much, but people keep taking the "feminism is awesome" line out of context (which is to be expected from such a stupid line but whatever). The guy who says that only says it after killing a woman enemy 10 or more times. It's a satirical retort because the goal of actual feminism is to bring equal rights to women, thus feminism would allow him to kill woman as he does men because in our modern society a man attacking a woman is deemed wrong (even going as extreme as self-defense against woman being wrong as well).
Pardon my autism, I'll take my leave now.

>Implying anyone here has actually played the games they shit on
They just recycle jokes from the crowbcat video and then shit on Randy for the rest of the thread.

I hate this guy, not necessarily for the content. It can be funny, but can get annoying and repetitive quickly. But for how it infests the literal children on here.

There were 27 people playing Battleborn less that 24 hours ago. It was dead, and is only slightly more alive now.

>>379386758
I enjoy some of his content too, but the minute his videos come out, people start posting the video or using shit from the video as points for why something they've never played is bad. Its like those faggots on /mu/ who wait until a Fantano review to listen to an album and then just parrot his opinions.

They are so stupid for locking all the heroes. What's the point? They are acting like their game is not dead

Lol

>>379387534
To be fair, that's exactly what he wants his videos to be. He wants them to be used for argument.

Having played 15 matches, I'm not surprised it tanked.
It's a MOBA FPS, but it's not fun in either of the genres. The fucklong TTK and constant poke-poke-poke-heal-poke-poke-poke gameplay make the shooting part completely unsatisfying. On the other hand, limited snowball potential, boring abilities and rare full-scale teamfights, which require very little teamwork too boot, make it a very shitty MOBA.
I'm already bored to tears and it's just the first day of f2p.

Why haven't you joined the battle yet too? The game is fun!

Are we reading the same thread? Half the anons here won't download it so it being shit is irrelevant not that anyone here actually knows.

>>379388210
It's pretty fun, but >>379388078 is mostly right. The UI/colors don't help during teamfights either. It was an okay attempt though. I wish more games would copy dota's mechanics instead of going the league/mmo route.
