I'm kind of saving money... Though I'm still thinking about buying it too, my friends want a new co-op game for the group.

Keeping Talking and Nobody Explodes tho

Ma'am, I'm sorry to announce that you have a bad case of Bad Taste-itis. Unfortunately, it's reached critical levels, and is uncurable. I'm dreadfully sorry, ma'am.

See, ya say this, but Battleborn has something that Overwatch might never have.


An actual story.


I like stories, not mindless arena games where the potential for great characters is wasted on a system in which the core of it is flawed.


Don't get me wrong though. Overwatch is a great game to some folks.


To me though, it's just disappointment from falling short of my immersion expectations~

it's just too sad the actual story is pretty bland. True, a story nonetheless, but a rather tasteless one.

Eh, it is a little bit flat on its own, but I've found that hitting your head against the same story level over and over again is bearable. The script changes up, certain characters have special dialogue and interactions with different elements within the levels, and the more you play a character the more you find their place in the darkness of the gaps in the story.


Hopefully the maps to be released will bring more depth to the story, but for now I just wanna gather up all that sweet, sweet character lore~

 

[Sopranos]

I rarely read characters lore in MOBA games really, if it's a RPG then I certainly fo, but not a MOBA game

 

[Captain Hesperus]

I do not, have ever MOBA. The oft-frenetic pace flusters me and I don't like being flustered. I tried LoL and lost the tutorial...

well it's a terrible community i tell you that, and you can't stand it unless you have your own team.

 

[Captifate]

One of my favorite co-op games is Dungeon of the Endless: It's a rogue-like with tower defense elements on top of RPG exp and leveling. High replay value :3c


@Suzuki Mine You say story and I'm like *jazz hands @ Oxenfree*

 

[yoikes]

Ragnarok Online is still the most memorable for me


Tree of Savior hype \o/

Oh yeah, I ain't gonna deny it, the LoL community can be pretty damn toxic no matter what rank you're in.


Having been around since close to the beginning, perhaps I just kinda slowly adapted with the shift in the way players act over the years, so perhaps that's why it hasn't affected me too much.


I'm... not sure if that's sad or not... >_>;;;


But yeah, I have a similar opinion of DOTA2 as you do League. I tried it for a while - back before they put in the tutorial - and I just found the game and the community to be rather steep on both the learning curve and the elitism.


I'm sure it's a fine MOBA, but my personal experience was less than pleasurable.


In short, I can totes understand~

 

[Ryuuko Shin]

that wasnt rushed at all!

Heh


I return. Behold!

  Notes
  
  ●Has a tattoo around her neck depicting Ouroboros, the snake that devours its own tail. Always seen wearing that 'blood'-splattered cap of hers no matter where she is at the moment.
  
  
  ●Her limiter is her handcuffs. She has the keys to one half of the cuffs, but not the other.
  
  
• Selfless (Positive)
  
  
  As much of a weirdo and gadfly as she can be, she puts the safety of others before her own, trying her best to save as many lives as she can. She’s barely a competent fighter, but she will, by all that is holy, do everything she can to help others in dire need. All this, and yet she’d still be happier not helping someone with their homework. It's the life-threatening needs that she attends to, not your laziness.
  
  
  Wordsmith (Neutral)
  
  
  She is no lawyer, but she can twist words and downright smash through a person’s verbal defense through sheer pressure alone. Her sharp tongue and sharper wit make her a foe in both mind and body.
  
  
  Hard Worker (Neutral)
  
  
  For some odd reason, even in normal school, she was a star student in everything BUT behaviour. She handed up her work early, got to school on time, and has a clean record when it comes to punctuality. She was, overall, a pretty hard worker when it came to anything but attitude.
  
  
  Gadfly (Negative)
  
  
  She sure does love watching people squirm. While she means no harm, and probably doesn't wish any harm to come to anyone, she gets her rocks off tormenting others through her words or actions, directly or sarcastically making them her verbal pincushion. She can be even crueler by simply denying people simple aid.
  
  
  History
  
  
  A super arrested for property damage and rioting. Jamie Bishop, aged 17, is a pseudo-poster girl for campaigns against false charges these days due to her actions one year ago. While most of the information is classified, the leaks have cast some light on the issue. A close friend of Bishop, a certain Henry Kingshart, had been declared guilty to a crime she was sure he didn't commit. Enraged, she raised hell, burning courtrooms and rousing riots outside the courts. Each time the law attempted to come down on her, even when they were sure they had her cornered, she simply vanished. She even did so once right in front of their eyes.
  
  
  It wasn't only until months before today that she was finally caught. The damage had been done, however. Henry Kingshart walked free, the case was reopened, and new suspects were drawn up. The court proceedings became ever slightly so smoother and less corrupted, with the advent of the people’s voices finally reaching the ears of those who ruled the law. The only person who received a bad ending to this story was Jamie Bishop. Handcuffed, and microchipped, she was to be sent for rehabilitation, until they found that the latter was probably useless, given her actions, though violent, were very much justified. That, and she kept teleporting the keys to her handcuffs into her hands so many times they deigned to let her wear the cuffs as a fashion statement.
  
  
  In effect, she was more or less a free woman. That was, until everyone noticed that she was, after all, a super without a blue card. So they all had a laugh, patted her on the back, and sent her straight for Facility 108, where good times were certainly to be had. Oh yes.
  
  
  
• 
  
  
  ●Henry Kingshart
  
  
  A close friend of hers, and the one she dragged out of a death sentence. Both send letters to each other and play correspondence chess together. She loses most of the time.
• Pull:
  
  
  Something akin to teleportation, but much more flexible, and yet much more limited, Pull, despite its name, does not physically pull the owner or its target towards each other. Instead, a ‘latched’ target is either teleported to the user or vice versa. The effect is near instantaneous and has a near global reach. That is, if the owner maintains the ‘latch’ on said target for that long to have it go to use. When used in rapid succession, it resembles a long-range flash step. The latch is invisible, and undetectable, a thing created out of willpower and psychic energy, and cannot be removed by any other means.
  
  
  Buildings and other objects that are solidly nailed to the ground are exempt to the ‘teleport to her’ rule, only allowing her to teleport to them. All other things, including humans, are free game, however.
  
  
  • Not Going In Alone: Physical contact with anything or anyone means she can take them along for the ride. This effect can echo along her passengers, allowing her to technically be able to take a whole group of people if they all held hands and sang a campfire song.
    
  
  
  Limitations
  
  
  • One Step At A Time: She cannot keep multiple ‘latches’, only just the one. She either has to rely on her own human skill to skirt around foes to keep a vital Pull point, and do away with the latter to save herself with another latch.
    
  • Clear Shot: She needs a line of sight, and then some, to attach a latch. If she cannot get a clear, direct path to the target, then she cannot teleport to that point. Even glass windows will impede her reach. However, past that point, even if she loses sight of the target, no matter how far she is from her latched target, she is able to teleport them to her, or herself to them.
    
  • Don't Hold Me Down: If restrained by any means to a grounded structure, even if it's just handcuffs binding her to a lamp post, she is effectively unable to teleport anywhere. She can, however, still teleport the keys to her cuffs to her...

Offer your opinions to me, o children of man! What say you?!

 

[simj26]

YES, BEAR WITNESS TO MY INEPTITUDE WITH CODES.

 

[Aldur]

I feel like Battleborn wants to be all these things at once. It's singleplayer, co-op, MOBA and it just loses on that. For example, what if someone wants only the co-op aspect of the game? They have to pay for the whole package and might not ever touch the multiplayer or vice versa. And Overwatch does have a story, but it's told through animated shorts and comics, rather than an in-game campaign.


I also feel that since Battleborn is all of these, it has to compete with a ton of other games individually. So, it has to compete with exclusively co-op games, singleplayer games, and MOBAs. It tries to be so many things at once ;-;


But, to each their own I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[simj26]

On another note, 4chan doesn't have a battleborn gaming general, or if it does, it isn't blowing up like other games' are. A game that came out a year ago still has a solid thread going while battleborn is nowhere to be seen as often.


Also, to speak of the fan reception.


If you look up the stats to overwatch ***COUGH*** fanart and ***COUGH*** fan literature, and then try to scout out some similar stuff to battleborn, you'd be hard pressed for the latter. Or at least hard pressed to get it to match the number of just sheer A-MEI-ZING art.


Even past a day into the beta, ITS HIGH NOON, DIEDIEDIE, and JUSTICE RAINS FROM ARRRGGHH memes are streaming forth from the overwatch cesspool, and yet, battleborn didnt have that much of an uproar.


To date, NONE of the gaming channels I follow, and NONE of the sfm animators I follow, have done anything related to battleborn. You CAN argue that there hasn't been an sfm port of battleborn models to sfm, but again, this only demonstrates just how underperforming it is.

@CloudyBlueDay Shout out for good role playing! I know there is a button for that, but that was perfect, from my perspective, and they don't have a button for that. I have been teaching for just over two decades, and I feel like I know that girl. Well done.


Now my challenge is to be Aaron and not me. I am h-h-h-hyuuuugely extroverted, and I have a way of meeting that attack, but Aaron is not me, and he needs to meet it as an introvert. I don't know what that feels like though, only what it looks like from outside. I am open to tips if there are any intros in the house. Got some good tips from @Bag o Fruit


For now, I am going by how a black hole responds to attacks: it doesn't, it just absorbs them!


(mind you, if it absorbs enough material to form an accretion disk, watch out! Deathstar style x ray beams is just the start...)

I need to come up with a manageable body-count for Ioana. Thing is, some time ago, when Ioana was accepted into the roleplay I wanted to expand on her backstory a bit using a video game editor. I've got a playlist right



. The first video, is actually how Ioana started her whole mob-killing business.
According to those videos, if my memory also serves me correctly, the body count in all those jobs goes to around 90+. The issue is that those aren't all of her rampages. I think for goodness' sake I'll start to work on other levels as well and complete the story.

Haha yes! I wasn't a Ragnarok player (because it never instaled, don't ask me why QAQ)


But I was GrandChase player and I gotta tell you, It was perfect for a Online game newbie as I was back then OUO


It's the first thing I played after all those Educative CD's we bought at the News store (Franklin, Roger Rabbit and some Disney ones...)


After a good time playing it, our computer died tho, I never felt sadder at not having it. I liked that game so much, It kinda felt like abstinence xD


Then it was fixed, I played a little more, then I had that annoying succession of 3 PC's dying on me and when I could finally got back to it, I heard the sad news the game had been terminated, just like Maple Story and Trickster that I had also played at some point...


RIP Grandchase... Now it's a mobile app, same plot but completely different and automatic? Like, I don't have to do anything with it, it just plays itself, that's so sad!


I feel nostalgic now QUQ

Whoa really, haven't heard that news yet. That's kind of sad, but understandable since there's a lot of similar and more popular game

Well, technically you can still play it, someone managed to hack it and make a downloadable version... It's probably somewhere in the internet.


You just can't play it online anymore so, It's going to be the same thing QAQ


Yeah, it was indeed losing popularity, people were moving on from it.


I still miss it so much though, I don't think that I ever liked a game this much


I tried playing LoL, gosh what a awful community! They bully the newbies so much on those in chats...


I love the game but, nope I'm not going to submit myself to that harassing just because of the game. I had enough of bullying at school, thank you very much~


I'm not actually playing anything rn, I used to play both Starbound and Guns of Icarus with friends but, we've all gotten kinda busy with our lives so, it's going to be awfully hard to have us meet up again... *sigh*


Currently on chapter 5 of Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru tho

Is neopets still a thing?

It is!! I went to a art stream of a Deviantart friend once, and they play it!


It made me nostalgic because I loved all those games, tho I never understood the whole bank thing xD


But then someone (me), got her boyfriend to play it as well and welp, he's now my annoying ex so, it lost all it's fun to me...


(Also he was better than me :/ )


But that surprisingly is still around! : O
