Should´t this have been Battleborn?

[Jørn]

I think Battleborne could have a fair chance now that the OW hype is gone.

Gigantic also deserved a fair chance, it was cool

[Grinning Jack]

battleborn at least had a somewhat devent pve mode :P

THIS GUY GETS IT I WANT BOTH

I have played a lot of games that didn't last since Battleborn, but none of them I miss more than BB (Smash+Grab and Lawbreakers are very close second places though)

[ImplosiveErection]

battleborn, lawbreakers and this. all died purely because they were live service. Hopefully if they ALL come back at some point, they have a backup plan for if they have to shut servers down again.

I miss Battleborn so much. Literally my second most played Steam game and it would have been number 1, if it wouldn't have been shut down. And combining the Overwatch hype with the horrible server system and the missing ranked mode destroyed the game. Overwatch is boring as well without ranked mode.

Battleborn just needed a ranked competitive mode, simplified server selection, removing any competitive advantage like pre-farmed gear and it would have easily been the best hero shooter ever.
Battleborn simply died because playing the game had no meaning after you played a few PvP battles. Sure, it would have been nice if the engine would be upgraded to UE5, but Battleborn is already amazing with only some minor easily fixable flaws.

Gigantic on the other hand is very unique in a bad way. You either love the art style and gameplay or hate it. There is no in-between. It's not like Overwatch, where every character has a Barbie/Ken design or at least a Barbie/Ken toy style. With Overwatch you can even hate the gameplay and game, but still play it because every hero looks like a Barbie/Ken inspired toy and with this you can just ignore all the other flaws in the game.

But I can understand why for example Lawbreakers failed. Lawbreakers was just a worse experience than other shooters like Counter Strike, Fortnite, or any other big shooter. Lawbreakers had nothing that could stand out and while Battleborn has the ultimate fun experience or Overwatch the very simplistic but enjoyable art-style, Lawbreakers just felt like some asset flip that tried a lot, but couldn't compete against any other big shooter.

^^^ This.

[Baltic]

I always wanted to give Battleborn a go, but at the time was poorer than dirt and could only afford either Battleborn or Overwatch, so went with the safer option

If BB comes back, I'm definitely hopping on it. As, I'm sure, a lot of Overwatch vets will, too

[Ghoul Hunter]

Maybe this is their experiment, and if it's successful they will proceed with Battleborn or Battleborn 2. Then again, maybe not. Maybe my speculation isn't a good thing. Then again, maybe it's better to consider possibility, than to shut it down at every turn.

[Kirimai]

i'd like a Battleborn remake

[Anhur]

Completely different company, Battleborn revival would be 2K not Embracer Group / GBP / PWE

Ya the out of game loot and stuff was so stupid, the loot box curse strikes again.

Overwatch releasing at the same time really didnt help, combined with Blizz moving testing weekends to align with BB release. Was a ton of fun.

is there any discord sever yet

Battleborn was pretty bad. There's a reason it died and why no one bothered to try it when it went free.

There are plenty of good games that die for other reasons than being bad. You are on one right now...
