Huh, I thought the system was going to be some variant of bullshit multiplayer DLCs but it looks okay. Single player content+cosmetic shit. Multiplayer maps and heroes are free.
More content cannot fix the problems I had with this game last time I played it.

A few weeks ago I got to go down to Gearbox offices and play some with devs including the new mode before it was announced. A lot has been changed around, seems pretty decent now. I remember the first closed tests where Phoebe was OP has hell, then I played in a tournament in December and despite her multiple nerfs she was still extremely strong, when I played her a few weeks ago she has hit the balance point nicely I think.

The campaign thing was just eugh, like the samey dull gameplay plus terrible humor. [editline]16th March 2016[/editline] It was also unbalanced as fuck, but I know that [I]can [/I]be solved so whatever.
Battleborn is literally one of the most unremarkable games I have ever played. But hey, free maps and characters for all five people who'll be playing this in the weeks after it dies.
I feel bad for this game. I've never seen anyone get excited for it or even talk about it. Even if it wasn't going up against Overwatch, it's still dead.
