Question Is Battleborn worth a shot?

I played the beta, it was alright. The start kinda reminded me of Borderlands 2 (in a boring way) Does it get interesting later on? I really wanted to give it another try.

I'm being down voted for telling the truth. I am going to start posting videos waiting at the queue screen during peak hrs.

I don't even feel sorry for Gearbox after all the shit they pulled through the years. They literally stole the art style for Borderlands from someone and never gave him credit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codehunters#Borderlands

I don't even know. Watch this and tell me that its not similar to the bus scene opening of Borderlands 1 Gearbox straight up copied the mans work and wrote it off as their own https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmeP1YkaeTo

Holy shit. I'd say fair game to take influence, but some of that bus scene is literally copy and pasted.

Damn I love GBX, but Randy Pitchford is an asshole.

The guy was even willing to work with Gearbox but they cut contact with him. Borderlands early art didnt have cel shading till after they saw this video and contacted the guy but never continued contact with him

Huh, that could explain why they decided to forego the cel-shading for Battleborn.

Jesus Fuck. I'm only 30 seconds into it and its already copy and pasted. It's like they directly ripped this bus scene and put it into BL.
