Battleborn to blunderborn - General

honestly, some of the characters for battleborn would've been better off used in borderlands 3.

[QUOTE=cdr248;50631387]i remember the writing was wonk but i'm not sure i remember forced in feminism in Borderlands 2 tbh[/QUOTE] [URL="http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Dave"]There was a guy[/URL] [URL="http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/The_Overlooked:_This_is_Only_a_Test"]in one quest[/URL] who gets his house blown off the cliffside by a mortar, with him still inside by the way, all because he made a few misogynistic-type insults. That's only one example I can remember at the top of my head. Honestly, its quite contradictory of a message when you have a character like Mad Moxxi hopping around in the same game doing jack nothing.

It's almost like Blizzard, Gearbox, and Bethesda all went to the same company to get ideas. And everyone got pitched the same thing. I can't for the life of me remember what these types of companies are that sell data and ideas.

[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;50631347]So you have no arguments for him?[/QUOTE] Todd is a clear business man. If you look at the way he speaks about his products you can see a clear understanding of what is true, and a stretching of those ideas. It's something you just get an eye for. In no way am I saying he's a bad person but honestly; describing him as someone who "legitimately over estimates what the developers have done" and "sincerely believes the game can do these things" is just wishful thinking. He's a sly guy; and it's clear he gets you to drink the kool-aid quite quickly. Now that being said, believe it or not I actually like Bethesda Softworks as a company [b]and[/b] Todd Howard as a person.

[QUOTE=Miss PR]It has an anime style to it[/QUOTE] No, it doesn't.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;50630575]I don't understand how a company responsible for Aliens Colonial Marines, Duke Nukem Forever, and now battleborn, has such a rabid fanbase of defenders is Borderlands really so great to people they will look past all that[/QUOTE] Gameplay is fun, for a couple of times. After that, it just gets so fucking repetitive that you don't want to play it again. The plot is ok for the first time ONLY, but Tina will make you want to stick forks in your ears.

I really like Borderlands' gameplay, a Diablo first person shooter, there's nothing really like it. It sucks that the people behind it are braindead though.

At least their intro cartoon is cool. [video=youtube;qynvqI3Y-d0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qynvqI3Y-d0[/video] Even if that one character actually does a Naruto sprint pose there.

Someone got tortured as a means to tell the time and people got blown up for even less reason prior to that. It was one of the few times the game was actually funny.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;50629457]When did Gearbox get so bad, and why? What happened to the good ol' days of Opposing Force, Brothers in Arms, and Borderlands 1?[/QUOTE] I don't know when they got bad, but Borderlands 2 was just so full of awful game design choices that could have been so easily fixed, but Gearbox seems to be stuck in the past where patches were for bug fixes and nothing else.

Battleborn's barely sold any copies during the steam summer sale. There's just no demand for this game.

[QUOTE=Inspector Jones;50636280]I get it, but fucking damn son. Even if the game went free to play I bet it'd have trouble gathering a player base.[/QUOTE] With the upcoming addition of Micro-transactions, I would not be surprised if they plan that just to get some player-base to form. By that point the battle would be for gameplay quality and Multiplayer quality. Cuz sure as shit the story doesn't have alot of quality I can tell you that from watching story segments on YouTube. It would still lose due to Microtransactions. Overwatch just sells you boxes filled with cosmetics. I think I heard that Battleborn is going to sell legit items?

Blizzard simply outclass Gearbox in everyway. They never stood a chance tbh.

Thank fucking god Anthony Burch fucked off from Gearbox to work on other crap. I feel bad for anyone that enjoys Video Game Highschool. Also the original writer for Borderlands 1 is coming back for Borderlands 3, so that's another positive. Of, like, three.

[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;50628062][B]Gonna play devil's advocate here[/B]: Battleborn was announced before Overwatch, as were [I]most[/I] of the characters in the side-by-side comparison segment of the video. If anything, that makes me think Blizzard copied Gearbox.[/QUOTE] Was about to ask this. That's pretty fucked up on overwatch's part.

[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50637701]Was about to ask this. That's pretty fucked up on overwatch's part.[/QUOTE] As someone stated previously, the MMO Titan had been in development for almost a decade until it was cancelled and the scraps were turned into Overwatch. There's concept art of an Overwatch character from 1998. It's up in the air how much of Titan made it into Overwatch, but just because of that it's hard to say Blizzard copied them. And out of Gearbox V.S. Blizzard, which company has a track record that isn't stinkier than a rotten ass? I don't think Blizzard is so unprofessional that they would steal from other developers, let alone not have the talent to create their own stuff.

oh man that video, that whole ordeal was just saaaaad

Battleborn? more like Batte[B]BORE[/B].... zzzzzzzz amirite *crickets* i'll see myself out

This intro 2. The music, I know you rapped in it del. I've played about 3 hours in the open beta and honestly it was probably one of the most frustrating 3 hours i've ever had while gaming.
