Battleborn’s Biggest Problem Is Overwatch

Pixelgate writes:

''After spending over 20 hours with Battleborn, there’s one problem I just can’t help but dwell on. It’s nothing to do with the game’s mechanics or content. In all fairness, it’s not even anything the game does wrong, it’s purely down to its release date.''

As a casual observer of Western AAA titles, I get these two games confused all of the time.

PixelGateUk3643d ago

I keep saying Bloodborne when talking about Battleborn...so much forms of born

BozoLoco3641d ago

I say Overcry instead of Overwatch, Bloodborn instead of Battleborn, Battlecry instead of Battleborn, and Battleborn instead of Battlecry.

I was getting Battleborn, Overwatch and Paragon mixed up sooo much for so long. I get paragon looks different, but 3 big studios switching things up, all just kind of confused me as to what is what.

PixelGateUk3643d ago

Lawbreakers is another to throw into the confusion pot too!

CoLD FiRE3643d ago

It's simple. Battleborn is the one with the ugly looking characters.

Rumb13stiltzkin3643d ago

Probably a safe bet that you're referring to the females?

CoLD FiRE3642d ago

Pretty much all characters in Battleborn are ugly, especially the females.

Miguelitons3643d ago

But Overwatch only releases in 20 days, still some time to play Battleborn, no?

PixelGateUk3643d ago (Edited 3643d ago )

Battleborn is a good filler ;)

rdgneoz33643d ago

Tried both betas for battleborn and after trying overwatch, not much of a contest. Battleborn has the borderlands grahics going for it, but overwatch is a lot more fun.

Garethvk3643d ago

I like both but Battleborn has been more engaging for me.

Pongwater3643d ago

For me Battleborn's biggest problems are UC4 and Doom next week.

Ozmoses3643d ago

Both will be over shadowed by Uncharted 4... Well that is on the PS4 anyways.... Both games Battleborn and Overwatch look fun and everything but yeah on PS4 this month with UC4 coming out.. they won't stand a chance in numbers of active players

Edit - cut half my comment off

Overwatch is going to be around for years on PC, not so sure about consoles given how quickly the scene changes. I've never really bothered with Uncharted's multiplayer so i can't really vouch for how long lasting 3 was. I dabbled in the horde mode but nothing major

Ozmoses3643d ago (Edited 3643d ago )

I specifically was refering to PS4... it's included in my original comment.

I know the games are on other systems as well

@Masaharu... UC4 will have plenty of life... and that's just for the single player part of the game... then on top of that the first ever single player DLC expansion for an Uncharted series...

then you have the MP which has been a staple in UC since Uncharted 2... It also has a pretty big fanbase..

Just take a look at the people still playing The Last of Us!!!

That's interesting - I'd say it's the other way around: PC communities for FPS games seem to burn out very quickly.

Nintendo Switch 2 Drops Must-Play Free FPS You Can Enjoy From Today

In 2023, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch 2 was released, which was basically a big, glorified update of the original game that launched in 2016. Now, it’s simply reverted to being called just Overwatch, which is probably for the best.

The second iteration of Overwatch was released on the original Nintendo Switch, and while it’s still an enjoyable game with cross-play/progression functions, it’s still lacking in terms of performance and visuals, compared to its PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S counterparts. Well, it was.

As of today, the second iteration of Overwatch is natively available on the Nintendo Switch 2, just in time for Season 2: Summit.

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Overwatch will have increased resolution both in handheld and docked modes, enhanced textures and lighting, up to 60 frames-per second, improved audio and more.

Blizzard is readying a patch to address the issue that the game is still running in Switch 1 build and just 30 fps.

Neonridr12d ago

you'd think they'd test it before pushing it live, lol.

that being said, clearly it's not running as intended.

repsahj11d ago

They know it for sure. Maybe they didn't finish optimizing the game by the targeted release date. That's why they released the Switch 1 30fps version first. XD
