Time to bring Battleborn back?

[ele]

So they're re-releasing Gigantic which doesn't even come close to how good Battleborn is. I hope that means this one is not far behind?

Same. Gigantic is terrible in comparison but they are publishing that. Makes no sense to me.

i LOVED this game. The ability to do open world missions like destiny or borderland and then switch to lane based moba games really made me sad when this game shut down before it even started.

Yep, it was the only decent "moba" style shooter than was good after monday/super monday night combat. It was a real shame they didn't want to keep it alive.

Oh man, Monday Night Combat! That brings back memories. Also Tremulous and Savage 2.

Best thing about Battleborn for me is the humour. I used replay missions over and over again just to listen to Nova and Oscar Mike.

Here's hoping for its return.

We can only hope!

[Cicada]

Give us back Battleborn!

[that's what she said]

this is the very first time I hear about Gigantic. Gotta do some googling. Gigantic never existed for all I know, it was released and discontinued in less than a year, no one cared, no one reviewed it. And re-release will probably follow.

Battleborn was a rock-solid coop/sp game ruined by terrible marketing and online-only requirement, it managed to grow a small following. We need Battleborn back because it deserves it.

Gigantic is much worse in every way. It didn't even have regional servers and they don't look like they're changing that on the re-release.

Battleborn definitely had player issues after the first month but I think it would do well these days now that Hero shooters are more popular. The PvP was really good and I know some people enjoyed the PvE too though it wasn't interesting to me.

Battleborn struggled due to its release coinciding with Overwatch.
Overwatch was much more well-known, had better marketing etc.
With Overwatch 2 now having roughly settled into its role as the genre-definer, people have become somewhat jaded to the point where I think there's room for Battleborn to reappear.
It does need some gameplay improvements though if it wants to succeed this time around.

its so sad to see people insulting gigantic, nah just for that you dont deserve it.

[ele]

Not insulting it, it just isn't good in comparison.

[Kevfactor]

honestly, this game was dead at release. there were no matches like a week after launch. people wer eexpecting boarderlands 2 and we got like 5 zones or somehting

[ele]

Not at all, it was a PvP game. The PvE was extremely basic because it wasn't the main attraction.
