It's a very nice video, :3 Battleborn <3

If you compare BB to OW! How about they start comparing Paladin and Paragon (new moba like games) aswell? played all 4, and ALL 4 are different in many ways! If you want a comparison to Overwatch try Paladin! Both those games are VERY similiar in graphics and some heroes (so identical i started calling OW yesterday for Paladin to a friend..)

Glad I watched. Overwatch doesn't look like my kind of game at all. Hopefully the forums will quiten down with the OW vs BB threads......hopefully.

Didn't tried Paladin, but agreed with your statement: Paragon, BB and OW differs very much from each other. No " Vs" here.

P.S. Had a hard choice between BB or OW (i've own Paragon already), finaly bought BB. And i don't regret a single second :)

Both are different, both are good games, I don't see why people have to say one is better and trash the other.

If you find one better, play that.. I'm just happy we have more good games in this genre.

Sadly, people like to feel like they are part of a clique, which means they will defend one game and trash the other, happens in gaming but probably best seen between consoles.

Kinda sad but it happens and I don't see it stopping any time soon.

Tried Overwatch today, it's definitly a bad game with a too high price. Won't buy it.

Good job Saint and TotalBiscuit he is one of the few I can handle as * youtubers *

To me Overwatch looks like a very messy Counter Strike on drugs.

[Honey Badger]

Way I see it, if you want simple pure PvP then Overwatch is better, if you want more chaotic, more strategic fights then go with Battleborn.

Also in it's favour is that Battleborn has a lot more modes and more to do but sadly it has Randy Pitchford's name attached to it and that alone pushes a lot of people away and after his Alien Colonial Marines shennanigans among others, I can totally understand why it pushes people away, it gave me second thoughts about buying this, I'm glad I did in the end though.

I've been playing the Beta over the last few days and I will most certainly be buying it and PLAYING BOTH GAMES. That is an option, I don't know why people get such a hard-on for 1 or the other or try to rain on people's parade. Both games are fun. I found OW to be a bit generic feeling when I started to play but gave it a few rounds and realized I was having quite a bit of fun. It does feel like a nice newer TF2 with less customization but still fun :)

He made a previous video of Battleborn, was convincing me to buy it. Not regreting it.

Exactly, both are good games, we should be happy there are two excellent hero based FPS games instead of doing the whole "ZOMG I love <Insert game name here> and even though I've never played the other it sucks and I hate everything about it!!!!"

Too many people buy a game and think they are part of some clique where they must defend their game and poop all over any other game that is vaguely similar to somehow elevate the game they bought.
