I'll be doing it. I having looked into the game all that much but, if it's anything like Borderlands it should be fantastic.

Cool thanks I signed up for the beta / technical test.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Codes went out today. Beta starts tomorrow.

 

[Spitfire77]

Yup I got mine and pre-loaded it on my ps4. It is a closed test with a NDA so there is not much else to say.

Anything new on this game? Release? Collectors or special edition? How was the beta is this really similar to oveewatch?

 

[boomee]

Still nothing

I have not played this since shortly after the beta released. I enjoyed this the few times I played. I am honestly overwhelmed with betas right now.

 

[boomee]

Open beta is going on right now

Anyone have the game? Thoughts?

Game of the year for me. Ridiculously fun and funny too. It's what Borderlands has always wanted to be.

Play the game I played the beta honestly I'm not that much into the game I was hyped for it but it's really not my Cuppa tea. I don't care for the jokes and the crass language so I think I'm going to have to trade it in or give it to someone else maybe it's for someone else not me. OverWatch seems to be more my cup of tea

I forgot I even bought this game, sadly. If I didn't buy it digitally, I would sell it. Was a huge Borderlands fan too, but that's because Borderlands had endless weapons, huge maps and fun missions and characters. This feels so devoid of content and the maps are linear (only played the first map though). I'm upset I paid full price, but it's my fault for going into it thinking it was a different kind of game, more like Borderlands was.

Not saying its a bad game, it's just not a game for me.

So um no single player story mode in this ? Trying to figure out if it's just like a quake arena or really a game like borderland ?

Sure, you can play single player but it's nothing like Borderlands. There are 8 "stages", which seem pretty linear from what I've played and there are no weapons to pick up. I suppose it's more geared towards multiplayer where each player chooses a player class and fights through raid type maps.

I think if you are expecting a Borderlands type game you'd be disappointed. I know I was.

It's not like a real story game. It's basically a moba-type game with a dungeon crawler for a "story" mode.

It's really a lot of fun, but it really depends on the people you play with. As it stands, there just aren't enough people online to keep it interesting. I keep running into the same group and the same people in multiplayer. If they were to stop playing, the game would go south pretty fast. Another thing is that matches take a really long time. Matches are half an hour long, and by the time you sit queued in matchmaking, you're looking at an hour per match. That's the unfortunate part, and I think it's why people drop the game pretty fast. It's a great game that just got washed over by Overwatch, which may seem similar at first but is actually a lot more accessible and even more casual. Close Battleborn games seem to take a lot more skill and team chemistry, imo. And it's really rewarding and satisfying to mount a comeback after a close, well-played match and win DOTA-style at the last second.
