Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is Battleborn one of the biggest flops this generation?

Not just that, you can play it in split screen. Not even Halo does that anymore

 

Apparently you have to be connected to the internet to play splitscreen, for some random, obscure reason. D:

Battleborn being delayed, made me not buy it. It was coming out too close to Uncharted and Doom, after being delayed, and it was the odd man out. If i came out when it was originally scheduled to, i probably would've bought it.



Gearbox said its sold well so no.

They may have said that, but they obviously don't actually believe it. Otherwise there's no way it would be on sale less than a month after release...

Maybe its not having the legs that they expected but it was selling well in its first week.

Gearbox merely said it tracked better than Borderlands the first week. They are "cautiously optimistic" about their sales potential, but they haven't outright said it sold well, and they refuse to show raw numbers. That should be telling.

What if the harder it flops the earlier we'll see Gearbox going bankrupt?

Serves them right then. I'd rather see a developer go down for not developing the right games than seeing a developer doing all the wrong games. Just like Evlolution who decided to go down with a shit game rather than doing another Motorstorm.

Ahhh, the life of an entitled gamer.  Yep developer should go down because they did not create something YOU wanted.

I had maybe the worst videogame experience of my life with Borderlands 2. I don't hate on any devs aside from Gearbox and Bethesda. They have to REALLY deserve it. These numbers make me smile. :)

Why Bethesda, though?

I had terrible experiences with both Oblivion (XB360), and Fallout 3 (PS3). Along with a large, but tolerable amount of glitches and crashes, I lost all my game data in Obivion. I was pretty upset at the time. I swore to stay away from Bethesda, but watching a friend play Fallout 3, had me buying it soon after. I won't even begin to try to detail what happend with that game, but suffice it to say, it was game ruining. And the crashes. Oh my god the crashes. They alone were difficult to deal with, let alone the game ruining scenario that forced me away for good. I envy those who can enjoy Bethesda games. Fallout 3 would have been an all time fav for me had it just functioned properly.

Did you try those on PC? I've played Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas on PC and the glitches were somewhat bearable. I've heard the console ports of those are way glitchier, though.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

My reaction when I first heard about it: "oh, okay. kind of a generic name, and it doesnt even really fit the tone of the game itself. sort of just a mismatched collection of stuff put into a game"

My reaction now: "oh yeah, battleborn exists... what the hell even is battleborn?"

After watching the trailer: "this is even more upbeat and ridiculous than the Mighty No. 9 trailer. trash"



Time and money that could've gone to Borderlands 3, I really need that game soon-ish.

They said it debuted higher than BL1, which had a low opening but amazing legs. So doesn't say anything. Battleborn won't have any legs. Try to reference quotes correctly next time.
