    In a world where Overwatch exists, and with 99.9% certainty will be free to play - I don't understand how Battleborn is a 60$ retail box on a shelve.

    because, personally, Overwatch looks generic and boring as hell and free to play just means "awful online community".

    I'll take Battleborn any day; the characters are goofy crazy.

    edit: oh the far more important fact that Battleborn has single player and co-op. Online PVP games are nothing short of nightmarish for me.

    Yeah, but they are still going to clash with Overwatch, since a lot of people are hyped for it. Though it's possible that Battleborn will focus on co-op first and PvP second, meaning that they will attract different kinda of audience.

    They won't clash for me at all. I'm playing offline or co-op with a friend only. I just need the game to come out and it most assuredly will.

    Apparently, I'm in. Won't be able to tell anything that's going to happen in it, though.

    I can't wait to see all the rest of the characters. They're all so unique and crazy looking.

    My name is Dandy Witch...word? Yes, Dandy Witchword. I would like everyone to please describe to me in detail your experiences with the game. This is a safe space, no one will know you broke NDA.

    ^_^ Yep, all will be fine!


    Someone get the lawyers ready!

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    I can disclose the fact that things occur when I press buttons

    but more I cannot say

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    BAM! Lawsuit!

    oh no my zenny!

    I got an invite to this as well and pre-loaded last night.

    I'll be honest though, a lot of my original interest in the game has been smothered by Overwatch excitement. But if the focus is more on Co-op then I can see Battleborn getting some good time out of me if it's as fun as Borderlands to shoot folks.

    We shall see.

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    I'm going in with incredibly low expectations. Hopefully I come out with a purchase. I know it's a technical test so I won't hold that against them, but if the game ends up fun then I'll buy it.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    If Battleborn has an enjoyable solo experience, I'll probably pick it up. Pitchford kinda rubbed me the wrong way by being such a massive shitlord over the Colonial Marines debacle, but Gearbox is more than just him and I'm interested in what the Borderlands team comes up with next.

    I too have a code and am interested to give this a try!

    I expect there to be graphics, and also, mechanics.

    I would say that this is a fair and balanced assessment.

    Looking forward to playing this tomorrow.

    Surprised there's some kind of NDA agreement seeing like it seems they let everyone in. I just signed up on their site and it immediately took me to a page with a code.

    It's pretty strange that they have and NDA but it seems like they give access to everyone.

    Tried to load it up this morning (since my xbox told me it's cool to go) and it still hadn't started, but then my console was also on the fritz and would shut down whenever I loaded up Youtube, so I really have no idea what's going on.

    Cloud cover's throwing my sundial out of wack, so I'll just assume that means 'tonight'.

    And at the same time some people tell how they signed up today and instantly got a key. Strange.

    I think it may have something to do with connection speed; the people I know don't have very high.

    Yeah, they did say that several factors influence whether you get into beta. Another factor is region, so maybe they have a specific number of beta slots for each region. Some regions have more players, so less, so some regions are full and people can't get in, while others aren't full and people from them can get an instant key.

    I told one of them to go try to request a key again and lo and behold she got one.

    So yeah it seems a little borked.

    It started, but a lot of people(including me} get a "missing executable" error.

    Same here, and I already verified game cache and all.

    ...err, I mean, someone I know has that problem, but I wouldn't know about it because that would mean he broke the NDA.

    Yeah...

    Try restarting Steam? Seems to have been downloading extra updates for it for me.

    Yeah, it's on now. There is a queue, though.

  • darleysamdarleysam On my way to UKRegistered User regular
    Yeah, the queue sure is making it hard to test the game. I understand why they have it, I just hope they lessen it as it goes on.

    A queue doesn't seem very useful if you can't see where you are in it.

    Yup I've been in the queue for at least 30 minutes now (PS4)
