:57 to skip the unfunny bit. Video is actually shorter than it seems. Ends about 7 or 8 minutes in.
Yeah, it's pretty sad how horrible the timing was for Battleborn. I honestly would have liked to try and play it, but both the price and lack of a staying playerbase prevented me from getting it. I heard some people say that it was very reminiscent of Super Monday Night Combat (Which I loved dearly) and I would have loved to play another game like it. At least I can still play Overwatch and Paladins.
It's a bummer. I really enjoyed the game. I just wish I could have gotten more time out of it before it bit the dust.
It's a fun game but the campaign gets repetitive with the bulletsponge enemies really fast. Didn't get to play much pvp though.
Battleborn was quite the unique game, and it's such a shame this happened. I still think they could've offset some of this bollocks by doing these few things: Delayed release until after Overwatch, and launched cheaper at perhaps £20 Stripped down the progression system to just cosmetics Called it something like 'Borderlands: the MOBA One' and added 1 or 2 well known Borderlands characters Also, "Overwatch got away with microtransactions because of Blizzard can do no wrong" fuck off Jim.
[QUOTE=Rossy167;51197168]Called it something like 'Borderlands: the MOBA One' and added 1 or 2 well known Borderlands characters[/QUOTE] But it's not Borderlands or anything like it? It has almost literally nothing in common with Borderlands. If they did that, they would literally just be riding off a successful IP (aka milking it) and probably would have gotten more flak than they already did.
I think the best words to fully describe the timing of Battleborn's release would require quotation. These words that are common, but all the more wiser for those aspiring titan fighters. [I]The right man in the wrong place, can make all the difference in the world.[/I] - G-Man ( HL2 )
