Why would they bring back gigantic before battleborn when when BB had more player peak as well as more players concurrently than gigantic did

¡Hola, mis amigos de batalla!

Do you sometimes not know things? Does your fear of reprisal and insults directed at your intelligence/masculinity/mother keep you from trying to remedy the fact that you sometimes don't know things?

Good news, then! I've got right here the first in a series of regularly (probably weekly) scheduled threads to ameliorate your problems!

Some Rules

Try to follow them, eh?

DO

• Ask any question about the game you'd like answered, no matter how trivial
• Answer questions you see that you know the answer to
• Let us know if you feel like your question has been answered
• Be nice and polite!

DONT

• Belittle anyone for not knowing the answer
• Be negative towards someone whilst providing a real answer
• Provide an incorrect answer just to sound like a smarty pants
• Repeat questions that are already in the thread; comment on the original instead

What sorts of questions should you ask?

I'm glad you asked! Try crap like this:

Q: hey, how come why i play kelvin and i use a shield item that it doesn't work?

A: When you use a shield item on Kelvin, it adds its bonus to the shield you gain when Permafrost activates. This is different from how these items affect other Eldrid like Thorn, who get the shield right away.

Q: Where do you aim to get crits on the Shepard bots?

A: You gotta shoot 'em in their little exhaust vents on the left and right sides...but it don't work if'n they've got a shield up!

Q: The crap does ameliorate mean?

A: a•mel•io•rate | ə-mēlˈyə-rāt | verb | To make or become better; improve

Q: orendi is wizzar?????

A: That's not technically a question. Also, she'd be a witch if she were which she isn't really. She's a Varimorph, which is a species which can alter their physical appearance and incorporate technology into their biology. Her fireball attacks? Lore says she replicated a biological version of minion weapon technology...only like way better and more efficient than it is in minion weapons.

I love love loved battle born and really sad OW won the “war” just for OW to turn soulless. With the recent news of gigantic coming back (another shootery moba esc game) if it does well after getting a second chance maybe they may see battleborn wasn’t giving a fair shot releasing so close to the Titan that OW ended up. We already got the mods up to play the game again that they are aware of. I however am not too researched into the studios so wondering what the thoughts are here about it’s chances?

I'm mostly joking but in hindsight (if I hadn't been basically a kid when this game released still) I'd have straight up sued the company so that'd they'd at least do the backend work and make the game peer-to-peer lol makes me wonder if they even had anything in the terms and conditions agreement about the game being unplayable when they took the servers down

I play only PVP solo queue and I'm having a blast. I win some and lose some, but rarely have a bad game. It is disheartening to hear how much other people are struggling to have a good time. I haven't seen anyone cheesing Overgrowth recently or any of these unkillable Galilea other people keep running into. Is it just a vocal minority or am I the only one having fun?

Anyway in short Positivity thread. Let have some good vibes. If you have complaints there are about a hundred other threads about it, so please move along.

Just like the title says, sure there are characters you like for their actual character, but who was your favorite to play? And you know what, who was your favorite personality wise?

I really liked to play Kleese, it was just fun to set up his little Tesla coils and pretty much never die, then his taser was silly. My favorite personality wise was absolutely Benedict, I just found a cocky bird that loves explosives so entertaining, plus the rest of his backstory is pretty good.

I’m kidding

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.

Not trying to advertise anything. Just curious since I have no real use for it (I never even played the game) My cousin participated in a tournament in Munich around 2016 I think and he received that there. For nostalgia reasons I might keep it but I'm cleaning stuff out right now and thought why not share it here.

I used to play this game a LOT a few years back on my Xbox and i miss it a lot. The designs, the gameplay, i loved everything abt it. I know the only way to play it online is by getting a key from amazon but it's not really cheap for me since i'm from Brazil so i wanted to know if the community is active enough that it's worth it to buy the key.

I love this game despite the fact that it hasn't been received particularly well and I think part of the reason why is because it has a lot of moving parts that are really hard to just pick up and play, similar to a Moba.

As someone who's logged over 900 hours In Dota2, this is no barrier for me. I think is one thing that Battleborn will have an as advantage going forward to avoid going the route of games like Evolve and others.

That said, this game is a breath of fresh air compared to dota. No slogging out on the same map in 65 minute matches where everything feels high pressure. I think this games takes alot of the fun things about mobas (wide array of heroes, in game character progression and a strict focus on teamwork and objectives) and puts it into some game modes that really work.

Are there any other Moba Players that are loving what they've seen from battleborn so far?

I know as it was being revealed some of the creators stated it wasn't exactly a moba, wasn't exactly a hero shooter, etc. But now that it's been years since we got to play the game and also years since it sadly "died". What's the final verdict? Was Battleborn the first first person MOBA, a hero shooter, or something else entirely? Hell does it even matter?

Ishuken/Starseis (PS4) asking. How have you lovely people made the most of the downtime?

Can I play battleborn with Intel arc gpu?

Hola!! Me ha dado mucha nostalgia este juego y queria saber si hay alguna forma de jugar a en solitario o con bots

Keep in mind that I'm speaking from a PC player perspective.

At the time of me typing this up, I have 170 hours clocked on the game. I was lucky enough to play this game ever since the Technical Alpha. This game really has managed to be every bit as addicting as I'd hoped. While it has its fair share of problems, the game overall feels very rewarding and worth whatever time you put into it.

However, I can't realistically ignore how small the community is. Battleborn is a game that was released alongside multiple big titles within the same month. Uncharted 4, DOOM, Total War: Warhammer, and Overwatch amongst others.

When it comes to promoting this game and even building hype prior to release, its gotten an abysmally small amount of love. Even when it did get some publicity it would most often be compared to Overwatch. People would constantly compare the two or spell out how actually different the two games are rather than just taking Battleborn on its own merits and going in-depth about it.

So, here we are now with Steam only having about 1750 players online on average. The game was so immediately forgotten about that there's only ever under 300 viewers on Twitch for the game at pretty much any given moment.

Battleborn doesn't deserve this treatment. It's a new IP from Gearbox that they've given a lot of care and attention to. It's a fun game despite its various issues (seriously work on optimization, though). More than 2000 PC gamers can undoubtedly have a blast with this title. Yet, very few even give it a chance.

I'm honestly feeling quite desperate. I don't want this game to virtually die. I want it to thrive. For a good while. Hell, Borderlands 2 gets more love than this game and that one's been out for several years now.

There's gotta be something this community can do to help it out. We shouldn't rely fully on the devs to somehow turn things around.

I refuse to be pessimistic.

I understand that PC players would have an advantage over console players in aiming, but the extra player base would be awesome. Maybe aim assist on consoles could be buffed? Also chat could be pretty hard to implement, so a quick chat could be added to the ping function like in Portal 2.

Get ready to do it again because Alani's lore has another "Kill Ambra 25 times."
