Battleborn

>I think if this keeps going we might even reach LoL levels of players and audience.
Randy, stop. You're embarassing yourself.

What?

Someone explain to me what's going on. I unironically enjoyed the Beta, but how poorly BB did in numbers made me not want to get the game at all. What changed?

In your fuckin' dreams, Randy.

F2P.

>>379542393
It just went free to play.

We're coming for Overwatch, bitch.

>>379542495
Legitimately? I might download it then. I thought that was a hoax though.

>>379542575
Are you fucking serious? You liked the game but didn't take two seconds to check the Battleborn website? Yes, it's fucking real.

>>379542758
Calm down, Randy.

>>379542393
Game's going F2P, which is even worse because you could already get it for dirt cheap (I guess they want them kids to download their free game now...). Microtransactions incoming.

It's still a good game, nothing too crazy about it, but it'll be dead for good real soon after the novelty of going F2P dies off.

>>379542758
I liked the Beta. I stopped following it's progress a few weeks after launch for obvious reasons.

Why would I continue to follow a near-dead game?

This might be the greatest comeback ever.

I'm not going to play it and I'm happy these guys hemorrhaged money but I hope Benedict gets porn drawn again.

The game is pretty bland so far. I mean I'm glad its free so I didnt have to pay for it but I dont get how they sunk so much into this or what the big deal is over this seemingly average game.

I will agree on one thing, the game is a visual clusterfuck to look at though.

Man this game is so gonna beat Overcuck in BOTH population and in the freshest memes full of badassery from yours truly, Randy Pitchford. #badassbadassbadassbadassbadass

It just blows my mind that people do no personal research and get all their gaming news on /v/, even for games they like.

You paid enough attention to "think it was a hoax", and to come into this thread to tell us how much you liked the game. Yet you didn't take a second to google Battleborn and see what the deal was. It's just astounding.

>>379543417
Where did you hear that they sunk a lot of money into it?

the return of video games: the reckoning: ultimate edition: the final chapter: extended version: part III: the return

>>379544017
Gearbox themselves. They admit early to launch it was their biggest game ever and "We dont even know if people want it"

>>379542242
Don't get your hope up Randy, your game will go back to 50 players/day in a month or two

>>379544440
Okay, that's just weird. How the fuck do they manage to put so much time and money into a game that they don't even know if people want? Is it like when Al Pacino did the Starbucks commercial?

>>379544617
Like, shouldn't they have gauged interest first?

>>379543575
Only the single player is locked

>>379544747
I imagine you can probably just pirate the single player anyway.

Hello /video games/, fellow long-term 'Channer, here. Now that BB is F2P it is fulfilling its vision of inclusivity in modern digital entertainment! Let's not lambaste Gearbox for going through this transformative journey.

>>379545170
Truth!

>>379544617
Its clear that Gearbox thought
>We want that Esports money and so does 2K, since people know us as the Borderlands guys if we make a new game we'll get loads of money
Never mind the fact that they bet it all on this one game and launched the PC port with so much issues at launch with so little content

>>379546106
Wouldn't it have been smarter to just make a Borderlands FPS-moba? Like, if they broke into the genre with an existing, successful property, that would have worked a lot better.

>>379546394
Of course it would have. Lets be honest, dont nobody know what the fuck a Battleborn is, and on top of that it has its own established lore compared to Borderlands that it just throws you into and expect to know

So now that there are more players... does that mean that there will be more shitpost's and Attikus porn to look forward to?

>>379546776
There will only be more shitposts when it dies out fast. For crying out loud the game went F2P before E3 and the day Pokemon announced new games.

fuck you Randy, con man

>>379546776
Your post made me realize there's probably going to be more people posting videos of it on YouTube and stuff.

>>379547096
What? How is Randy a conman?

>>379547396
Have you been living in a fucking cave? Look up the Colonial Marines situation.

>>379547478
Or you could just tell me so I don't have to give Polygon any clicks.

>>379547832
Took money from sega to fund borderlands instead of using it for colonial marines. and outsourced colonial marines to some amateur jew company to finish it

shall we partake of video games bros?

>>379547939
Thanks. That's pretty dickish even if it is Sega.

I love the skill-ay in Battleborn.

>>379542758
Randy pls.

>>379542242
I remember this shitpost! Ah the nostalgia.

If it gets a decent population size I might consider trying it, but every multiplayer team game I've played in the past few years has been a massive disappointment and I can't see this being any different.

>>379548014
nah.

>>379549908
I remember it like it was yesterday. Those were good times. If only we could go back to those days.

>>379548153
Sega just keeps Stumbling around mostly, but they doo keep trying, and with that many fuckups under their belt, to still be alive after all this time says something. I think they just are really prone to getting carless.

Hell sonic mania proves that the company can pull a few surprises on us.

HUH? HUH?

>>379550224
I actually think Sega's finally starting to get cool again this year. The question is how long it will last. They always seem to go back and forth.
