Games is fun as hell, but I can't see it being a long term game and certainly not worth the 40 dollars....on the fence for sure.

yea it's really fun but there's just not much game for the price. I'm gonna pick it up when it goes on sale at some point

seems battleborn has more gameplay and longevity to it, probably more worth the $60

Everyone who pre-ordered early got two beta codes, so maybe you can bum one off of someone. My second one is already burned FWIW

I was under the impression they would be adding features. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'll gladly pay $40 for hundreds of hours of fun either way.

My gut is telling me that Battleborn is coming out at a rough time and won't have a big community. I would be hesitant to buy in at $60 to Battleborn. I didn't like that game though so maybe it will be worth it for you.

man I get that you don't like it

but objectively speaking battleborn has been released with more content for the same price, more heroes and it has a campaign. it's playstyle is also unique to consoles and somewhat unique to pc gaming. plus battleborn has the chance to be a pretty big esport with its MOBA elements.

overwatch is a fun FPS. lots of fun fps on console and pc. I'd rather play it on console and it's just not worth $60. should be about $25 or $30 on pc and console.

There's about a 100% chance that Overwatch's eSports scene is bigger than Battleborn's in 1.5 years.

could I get the winning lottery numbers while you're here?

only time will tell if either has success as an esport

eta the MOBA elements of battleborn lend itself more to having success as an esport. seems like there's more strategy involved. I don't see the precision needed as a fps in overwatch to be successful as an esport like counter strike has.

I'm not sure that praising Battleborn for having more content when that content isn't good

---

ok, that's like you're opinion man.

more content is more content objectively speaking. for $60 more content is needed than what it's currently offering now or in the future (yes more heroes and maps in the future doesn't make it worth $60 as an all multiplayer fps). as it stands it's basically just titanfall. also you conveniently skipped over the part of battleborn having a unique playstyle.

Ok the playstyle thing falls in the same vein as the content thing. Look if you like Battleborn more then go for it, I'm just saying the writing on the wall is not great for Battleborn.

make a Battleborn thread bro

to each their own

only time will tell for both

Yeah I mean if Battleborn ends up rocking then good luck with it. I just think Blizzard is doing their patented marketing strategy to crush that game. They have a history of just overshadowing and crushing competitors by releasing something at the same time (see most MMO's and WOW expansion packs). Overwatch has hosted a beta weekend like everyone time Battleborn does and they are releasing right on top of one another.

I plan on playing all weekend to see how it holds up. I find new FPS games to be very fun at first and then you hit somewhat of a brick wall and don't feel like playing much anymore. Probably just my preference though - I tend to gravitate towards games that have character building aspects.
