  • "The most ambitious video game that Gearbox has ever created". Battleborn budget is estimated to be at least $40 million (grossed $18 million in June 2016). It received "mixed to average" reviews with a fast declining population short after release.

      @Waxy mix last October TF2 got its highest peak in its history of over 130,000 people. Consistently it gets about 65-70k everyday. TF2 is far from dead. It might not have nearly had many players as what Overwatch has, but it still has a metric shit-ton of passionate fans.

      @Waxy mix The people that say that are the fans that make up that 70k people of the player base. I wouldn’t say that TF2 is dancing on Overwatch corpse, but if I had to pick I would pick TF2 because I think it’s a better game.

      Korean animation is not anime. Loanwords often change their original meanings: vigilante has a different meaning in English than it has in Spanish, hip means butt in Japanese, smart means stylish or slim, etc. The word anime outside of Japan, including English speaking countries, means Japanese animation exclusively, so "Japanese anime" is redundant.

      I don't think so, I think Overwatch is just a better game judging from the reviews from people who *did* play both games. I actually played them both as well, and Battleborn didn't even come close to Overwatch. That's not to say it was a necessarily bad game, but it was very mediocre and Overwatch was so good it won game of the year, it just didn't stand a chance. If it hadn't released around the time Overwatch did it would have done better, but it just wasn't good enough to compete regardless of release dates and would have died over time anyway.

    RIP Battleborn.
    It was a genuinely good game, despite all the competition. It’s frustrating that people constantly compared it to Overwatch when in reality it was a vastly different take on the team shooter formula. It had great potential, but unfortunately the market was bloated with these games, and Randy Pitchford being as stupid as he is wasn’t as good a marketing genius as he thinks.
    Paladins was way closer to Overwatch and it still thrives today, and Overwatch has only become more and more abysmal in quality. I wish more people had given it a chance.

      One of the biggest problems that Battleborn had is that 2k can't into effective advertising.
      Of the few ads they put, none of them gave you any idea what the game even was. This is why people are saying Battleborn is an Overwatch clone, when in reality the two games are nothing alike.
      If they had made more effective advertising efforts, I think the game could have been a moderate success with a small, but dedicated playerbase. Now it's a ghost town, and it sucks, because there's a good game to found in Battleborn.
