So is Battleborn a bad game or do people just like Overwatch better?

I've been under a rock for about a month

Its not a bad game but it doesn't really stand out from the rest and Randy Pitchfork bs talk still haunts the studio I suppose.

Its not bad but lacks on popularity...this results in a barely existing community (at least on PC)...which is a death sentence for that kind of game...

All in all, it's still a solid RPG. Although I found it to be a bit too combat heavy, and the narrative, world and characters didn't really grab me. It's still okay, I appreciate the fact that you're not saving the world as usual and that it is exactly what it set out to be, a game about desert rangers solving problems around the wasteland and a worthy sequel to the original Wasteland.
The first 30 hours in the Arizona area feel like little more than a glorified and overly long prologue, whereas the Los Angeles area feels to short and simplistic. The game could have used a good producer telling them what to cut (most of Arizona) and where to focus their efforts. The way the game came out, it's a mess. Still enjoyable enough though, which speaks for the general team. Hoping that Torment has better general direction, PST sure had.

From what I can see its actually a good AAA Super Monday Night Combat, but yeah. Releasing it one month before Overwatch while 2k also has a terrible track record with abusing DLC-tactics etc...

I have no idea who buys these Steam Trading Cards or why, but thank you. May you continue to fund my gaming purchases. It's always nice getting a partial refund on a lot of games I'm playing.

Battleborn should've never been Battle...born.

So it should have been named Stillborn.

I think Battleborn would have done better of the designs wouldn't have been so odd. You got really big bodies and small heads, slender man skinny characters, and everything in between. There was no one really complimenting on the look of the game even with the initial reveal.

Also didn't help that even upon release, people weren't quite sure what it was.

One other thing I'll say about Wasteland 2 is that even with it's flaws I had a lot more fun playing it than Fallout 4, and unlike Fallout 4 I liked it enough to beat the game. I actually decided to play Wasteland 2 because I was unhappy with FO4 and realized I had never gotten around to playing Wasteland 2. I'm glad I did play it.

I'm ready for inXile to bring on Tides of Numenera.
 
Wasteland 2 does a bad job at explaining some of the game mechanics, or maybe I'm just bad at it.
Also my sniper always misses the shots .__.

The thing about snipers is, they're more effective/accurate from a distance. There are two different ranges on guns so make sure your sniper is well enough back. And I'm sure you picked up on this, but never forget to crouch.

All these Wasteland 2 tips are awesome, since I just bought it!

Also, has there been any movement or updates on Torment: Tides of Numenera? Their last progress update on Steam was in early March.

I've been playing Vermintide for good 7 hours, and just can't seem to get any loot for the elf.

Also looking at the crafting system, there's barely any way to guarantee getting new loot precisely for that character without already having tons of crafting materials and expendable elf gear.

I can just feel the grind already. 1-2 weapons for every 30-minute mission, and only 20% chance it'll be for the character I want to play? Errrgh, I think Xenoverse might have been better about grinding...

what's with that first robot boss in riddick

i had to cheese him by hiding on the balcony and it still took like 8598 shots to kill it
 
not really, no
I checked just couple of days back
I didn't know that Nuuvem sold it, so I haven't checked there btw

It makes sense when you think about it, I mean gog being the best option.

Yeah, it's less than $14 there. Tried buying it but got blocked as expected.
I bought HoS there for less than $7 back when it was released.

Operation Racoon City is 5 euros on GMG, is it worth that price for some coop?

Is that the one that comes down the elevator in the small room? I've stopped playing that game a number of times right there. I think I got past it once and got frustrated because I was really bad at disarming. I really should give that game another shot because I like stealth games.

Maybe Battleborn has those designs to discourage porn. Because porn would make the game unpopular.

yeah that's the one
 
That new Atelier looks very nice.
I got burned out on these after playing 3 of them on PS3 (there are 7 of them on the system!) but I might check this one out.

Lots of negative talk about Wasteland 2, I was under the impression that the game was very well received.
Does the Director's Cut fix the biggest issues?

yeah i searched on the web and i think i'm supposed to shoot it in the back, but it still took forever lol

It does, which is why you use shotgun for quicker effect. I hate how the robot doesn't react to any of the shots he's taken, making you doubts whether you hit him or not.

So...Heavenstrike Rivals is pretty fun.
