first XD DD DDD (this is not a dead thread anymore)

Blizzshills never cease to amuse me, going out of their way to shitpost in this general

Montana Pacha when?

look at this handsome devil

any euro friends around looking for a few games?

50k copy sold for a AAA game (according to steamspy) ;
11k players peak 3 days after release;
6k players online on a day when nobody works ;

do not tell me this doesn't smell just like Evolve.

What are the console stats fag.

I do not care about peasants trying to play FPS games with a controller.

>gbx
>aaa

So you are simply admiring that your posts are a load of shit then. Also most people bought keys from outside of steam so your post is even more a load of shit.

How do I into el dragon

Most people bought keys from outside of steam..
dude I hope NOT !! Then wtf are they doing shoving these keys up their asses instead of actually using them and play online?
battleborn has been the no man's landest of the "hyped up / awaited" releases !

I'm not admiring anything, you can just stop pretend that this game is live and well, and face the truth; which is not that horrible, just the truth.

Who's your main and why?

But they are playing online. Im playing online too.
>truth
>but wants ignore 2 platforms its on
>truth
Are you done shitposting isic?

dude are you ok? you're typing like you're either 14 and a moron or you're on too much methamphetamine

it's priced as an aaa game

That doesn't mean it's an aaa title, you drooling retard

Fine I won't crush your dreams keep believing that this game will still have players the next month; and it is DOPE xD
Typing analyst over there; unfortunately making me a 14yo moron or a druggy isn't enough to get the defibrillator battleborn needs

>a druggy
ok ur just retarded i was worried for a minute :)

still doesn't get that defib, smiley face

idgaf as long as you are safe and healthy

Aww.. :3

Not like you care since you only look at stream statistics.

*steam

besides what's the last game that really launched well? i can't think of one in the past two years.

also, it's a kids game, an interactive saturday morning cartoon: the target audience isn't playing on pc.

anyone who wanted to try it on PC got a chance to try it during the beta. besides a field of view slider, it offers nothing pc players haven't already put 2000+ hours into. super power shooters are for consoles.

>2k
>people actually hyped for anything these jews make
>60$ nu-moba
>will be littered with microtransactions #soon

Once the normies realize it's too hard for them it's going to die just like Evolve did.

Stay supercucked, friends. :^)

I'm not trying to be a dick but do you live under a rock?
You can't think of any game that really launched well when Dark Souls III less than a month ago blew everything out?
It's even more surprising on PC since we had to download some fixes for the first two; and the raw games at their releases were almost unplayable (horrible port, bad fps, crashes..) but still the 3rd one sold more than 1 million copy (only on pc) and hundreds of people are still playing it right now.
So please, think harder.

i do live under a rock. i'm also wacked out on cold medicine. viva las weiners

Not the same guy, but i wonder what the numbers look like on consoles. Half the normies who bought this game on steam couldn't even kill Sully.

Fool's and their money, i guess. This is how the industry makes their money with all the first week/month sales. Anything after is just sprinkles on a sundae.

Sorry to hear that m8, but again I wasn't trying to be mean to you.
Just trying to save as much $60 as possible by explaining this game won't be playable anymore in a few weeks.

Jesus, it's only been less than a week. Maybe some of the sales stats haven't even registered yet. The copies at my GameStop were nearly sold out.

>excluding Japan
Wut?

Yeah and people are stuck on traffic bringing back their copies to their house because right now at this precise moment there are more people playing 7 Days to Die than Battleborn.

Also, thought i'd add this. Why do people even buy these games?

Battleborn is gonna end up just like this except this is a mp game. Disastrous.

Just because the normies buy into shit doesn't mean they will stay. Bail from this ship ASAP.

A month from now you'll see. They couldn't save their last game with all the money and DBSINCLAIR AND JPARTY every fucking day.

Caldarius, because his mobility is great and muh robots

Who am i kidding? You're all a bunch of invading normalfag millennial redditshits anyway.

Dark Souls is a bit special tho, you can play actively all day without even progressing in the story. I know a lot of people with 200+hours and still playing today who didn't even kill the 4 Lords.
Get the weapon you want, the armor you want, the rings you want, and then invasions/pvp and the game is endless while you don't own more than 10% of the achievements.
But Dark Souls III is far from dead, so far.

>number of poster did not go up
Why are you same fagging so hard?

i'm not playing it for hype: its a game for babies, now that everyone knows mature games are a waste of investment when kids have no hesitation about microtransactions. i'm playing because my gf loved the shit out of the beta, and i refuse to play any more borderlands with her, so battleborn is a solid compromise. that's worth $75 to me. besides, i'm a real adult with an adult job, so i'm not hording my allowance, and i don't get off on shrewd purchasing, so wgaf, it's just money.

just checked for bloodborne: only 63% of players beat father gascoigne. amusingly, 67% beat cleric beast. vicar amelia is at 50.7%.

normies will get bored and buy whatever is "hot" right now, not knowing what they are even getting into. most people don't know what's what and just get whatever is popular, assuming "20 million people can't be wrong" or something like that

If I get even 60 hours of fun out of this game, it'd be worth it. And the game doesn't go away just because /v/ says it's "dead," they stay playable long afterwards.

Gaming is the cheapest hobby you can have, two or three games a month is nothing.

I never said i wasn't.

i specifically capped final bosses and the 50% mark on bosses beaten. you and i are on a different page.

That's just it though. Although i agree with you on normies buying whats "hot" as they always do, this is not a game for babies. All you're accomplishing by saying that is trying to make yourself look cool on an anonymous imageboard. Once there is an established meta any "baby" playing this is going to get crushed and discouraged. Maybe you're not trying to but that's how you come off. Not everyone is a moba veteran who looks at this and scoffs at it's simplicity in comparison. The hundred or so hours we put into it in the beta randoms had no idea wtf was going on.

I played it with friends during the beta and were all moba/cs:go vets. We pretty much just ruined the gaming experience of everyone we encountered.

>people think it's their job to stop games from being bought
What, is the world gonna end if too many people play Battleborn? Are we unknowingly fulfilling some apocalyptic ritual by buying it? We survived 2015 for crying out loud! Go get a job in bank accounting if you have a fetish for statistics. Maybe you could give us more money for games YOU want us to buy.

Well i m quite sure blizzard does have a few people who's job is what you described.

I played him for a few matches and my impression is that he's awful. His clothesline dash skill is just shit and he doesnt have enough health + shields for a big guy. He has like 30% damage reduction on his first helix which helps this but you need to slam them first.

Most of the time I take so much damage while midair I have to run away. You could play Attikus instead who is less shit but has more health.

I didn't shill for blizzard in any of my posts. Their tf2 cash in already has a built in player base. Who needs publicity when you have blizzdrones?

It's your money, faget. Spend it however you want. I know the poorfags that want to believe are gonna cry when the game dies though, lol.

>job in bank accounting
>not falling for the bitcoin meme years ago and living like a king

I fail to understand why Overwatch's community hates Battleborn's. At this point, I feel like the "THEY'RE THE SAME GAME" argument is done now, once people realized they're actually pretty different. Overwatch is trying to be "Team Fortress 2: Pixar Edition" and Battleborn is trying "Borderlands: MOBA Edition". They're very different games at the end of the day and if you compare them too much, you're only gonna get assblasted when you realize the entire argument you were going to use is wrong now.

That being said, I really am enjoying BB a lot. I tried the beta with no expectations, considering 2016 has fucking blown in terms of vidya and was pleasantly surprised. Overwatch is exactly what I expected and I'm happy with that as well. The only thing Gearbox fucked up with was releasing it so close to the Overwatch beta/release date, as I'm sure a bit more polish, such as fixing exploits, balance changes and FUCKING PERFORMANCE ISSUES would have been great. A lower price would have been great ($30-$40) as well, but I can't complain, I got my copy for $35.

All in all, both games are fun and they accomplish different things. Play the one that resonates with you most or play both. Seriously, this shit is almost as annoying as the detractors that constantly posted that Dungeon Fighter Online is a ded game back in /dfog/, yet that shit is still kicking, last I checked.

the tone and art direction are 100% for babies. the rest of it is just another team based objective game with characteristics borrowed from mobas.

and i think mobas are dumb. any asshat can make things complicated by dumping more shit in there, and all the "complexity" they have really come from the original WC3 DOTA mod, and are largely inherited from the complexity of the RTS game it was made out of.

I read that you can take co-op loot and use it in multiplayer. How does that work in a moba-esque game where everyone starts at level 1? Does getting the best weapons give you any kind of boost in gameplay?

well, you can get a musical instrument for 1 - 2 hundred bucks and that'll last for years until you get good and want to upgrade. weights for lifting also are pretty cheap and last forever. lots of hobbies out there that is much cheaper. just sayin

basically, some smart kids think it's hilarious to see poor kids badly justify their purchases, so they tease them about what a colossal mistake they made, and the poor dumb kids don't realize someone is just goading them, so they get all up in arms about it. then the smart kid does the same on whatever is the "other" (different console, different political candidate, different game, whatever) and plays the same game. then both bunches of idiots are mad at eachother, and start mounting "attacks" and other moronic shit instead of enjoying their game as much as they can.

unfortunately, all this bullshit looks like "engagement" to advertisers and social media companies, so they don't give a shit about how toxic it makes the [anything] community.

there's no weapons to equip: it's all just +2% lard resistance with -200 gall adjective-adjective-noun stuff. imagine moba gear through the gearbox "millions of posibilities" gear lens.

Shards take a while to accumulate in pvp, they give you little shards around the map which respawn at the start and then every time a few minutes passes the big ones spawn.

You want to build turrets and stuff in pvp to control the map, and that costs shards as well as giving you some exp which doesnt come easy early game. Most of the gears don't give that big game changing effects as I've seen, even the legendary ones are more or less minimal costing 1800 shards. Though the best gear so far is the sprint boost which is your boots in moba games. I tried the movement+ gear and I don't feel any difference.

the gear has a cost to activate, so sure you can get a hyper mega destroyer piece of gear, but you won't get to use it for ages since it'll cost a fortune.

yeh its a shame its a pretty fun game though finding gearsets seems to be abit silly especially since one of its key selling points to me is that its a moba. but that leaves for diverse loadouts instead of people just throwing up OP loadouts and people copying them a la dota, smite, lol etc

Helix builds are better anyway.

so those are just pc stats?

the basis of your argument is that a game that was released on multiple platforms is dead because not alot of people on one platform play it?

I sincerely hope you aren't in charge of anything important.

but thats the basic skill tree, the gear is suppose to compliment that, no?

i think battle born is more fairly built than evolve. evolve had the problem that teams were either miserable shit, making it only fun for the monster, or too good to for the monster player to handle, with no in between. plus, most of the monsters were locked behind a grind, so no one was having fun and abandoned it.

bb won't blow any barns down, but it'll last longer than evolve, even if it's badly balanced forever, because they didn't badly handle the inherent problems in an asymmetrical team-based game.

Porn when?

anybody on ps4 wanna run story missions the randoms keep dying from traps

is anyone playing on xbox? my one buddy says it's a dead game (i'm not even trying to bait here). maybe other people have different experiences? what's the online population like?

See, where is your kingdom going where even the peasants are worried.

Already happening

more lewd on the way

Yes but what I mean is spending money on buildables to get those early game levels is so much more important especially for pheobe who struggles getting kills at level 1 and does not out damage anyone till lvl 5

No one knows and unless they're close to the release numbers of Destiny, Halo 5 or whatever CoD is out atm, they will never tell the public.

Its fine on consoles playing on Xbox right now finding matches in like a min.

post teamwork

I wish someone would give me back up fire power when I'm pheobe.

Nice...

Finally get to play the heliophage with 1 random. He starts killing himself for no reason and eats all are lives. Then he asks me to kill myself so he can play with someone else, and tells me there's no way I'll win solo on this map.

>I'll never die, fella.

who here beat the experiment on advanced

shit was fucking awful

Add me on PS4 if you wanna play. Name is Strange_Bot. Still looking for help on the 7th mission.

Just get four ISICs

Just wait till chapter 7....

I want Blacky McHooks but the idea of trying to slog through all the missions on advanced sounds terrible.

is it more wave defense out the ass
i haven't done it and 8 yet

Its the worst offender of wave defense all the other ones were tolerable (on normal at least) but chapter 7 is bull on normal, and KH mysterious figure levels of frustrating on advanced.

How long before F2P? Or is Brobox too stubborn for that?

Can't wait for f2p oh man can't wait to play this awesome game, and i'm not even being sarcastic here

I don't mind if it goes free2play as long as my current save data goes to the free2play version also maybe some free exclusive skins.

Montana cause hes a big boy

you win?

Ordeni.

Because she is pretty much Tiny Tina with Chaos Magic.

Fucking perfect design.

What's her lore?

Galilea, because she is OP as fuck.

Undertale has ruined eyepatches for me because I can't look at Reyna without seeing a fish
anyone else?

No.

>heliophage on advanced

She's is part of a race called Varimorphs. They are a small stature race with the unique ability to morph any part of their body using material from other sentient being including mechanical. But they don't have that high off an intelligence and pretty much just fuck around most of the time and is not highly advanced in term of technology. Thanks to their morphing ability they all look different(Hence the name Varimorph) except for 2 common traits which is black hair and an inability to follow rules.

Orendi stole a space ship from the first people to make contact with the varimorph and flew off to space having bunch of adventures on LLC planets mostly destroying stuff.

Her "Chaos Magic" comes from her morphing ability which she used to put the inner workings off a laser canon into her hands and right eye. Allowing her to control energy in the air that allows her to cause explosions whenever she wants.

Correction she did not only steal a ship but a whole frigate.

Who is the best character and why is it Caldarius?

What's the name of the hat, you ask?

Hat trick, hat witch

Spat trick, dark witch.

Arm, arm, arm, arm

Harm arm, warm arm

Shadow flinger, Chaos bringer

Pillar, Piler, Plier, Flyer.

That is the name of my hat. You asked.

TELEKINETIC SWORDS!

>Who is the best character and why is it Isic

fify

>keep ending up in games with fuckers who surrender
>none of these games have gone long enough to get past the center tug of war

>Caldarius
>best

Montana needs some huge fucking nerfs.

His damage is far to strong and his damage reduction from ulting needs a serious nerf. Its also really obnoxious how strong his slow is on top of damage reduction.

Most players don't even do pontiff because they're only in the area for the PVP. which is stange considering 2 of the main pvp factions are after you kill him.

holy shit man you're on a whole new level of bad

isic is probably going to make you smash your pc to pieces

Isic is also hilariously broken. But that doesnt change how fucking stupidly strong montana is.

He isn't even remotely threatening on his own

if he has a pocket miko, then he becomes a bit of an inconvenience
