J.T. Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Aww... and now it is in dueling threads too. Now in related Bethesda news - they are having Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb host their pre and post conference show dealie No Mr. Caffeine and Jamie Kennedy makes me a sad panda. Aisha Tyler is back for UbiSoft this year. Pretty simple. Press conference organizers should probably not compare quality gaming to high levels of sexual arousal. I dunno about that. I am pretty sure that Aisha Tyler would have a better chance to sell me on an UbiSoft game than Jamie Kennedy would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah, I may have to get my hands on Battleborn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah, I may have to get my hands on Battleborn. You haven't bought a Current-Gen console, right? When you do, let me know which one you do. Because you're the only guy I know who also sounds like he's gonna play Battleborn, so I'll probbaly get it for whichever console you're gonna play on.

RIPPA Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I would be interested if they can keep selling me on it not being a MOBA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 It's really not. The only thing that seems MOBA-like is that there are minions in a few of the PvP modes. In co-op? Just a flatout shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Oh, and the leveling system is kinda like a MOBA. In that you start every game at Level 1, you earn a new Level every few minutes and choose A ability or B ability every level. Personally, I like this system. Because then even if your friend plays the game much more than you, you can still play co-op together since you start every level on equal footing. Rather than Borderlands, where it's tough to play with people who aren't close to your level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 You guys are starting to get me excited for a Team Lesroy Jenkins reunion this Winter..... DRAGON, WHERE YOU AT??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yes, this is more Monday Night Combat than DotA/HotS/LoL, although it certainly employs many elements of traditional MOBAs. It just seems like everyone is trying to cash in on MOBAs and folks are scrambling to make the one that is user and console friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a bad thing either. I have no interest in a LoL-style MOBA, but I do like taking elements of it and putting it into genres I enjoy more.

Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Not familiar with Battlecry, I'll try to look it up tomorrow. But I have faith in Gearbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Gearbox did the first Borderlands and Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, but other than that, they do a lot of really tepid stuff; Duke Nukem Forever, Aliens: Colonial Marines, all the other middling Brothers in Arms games...eh.

Big Fresh Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I see that argument thrown out a lot, but in the case of Duke Nukem and Aliens, they didn't develop that from scratch. They just finished it when they acquired them from other studios. They polished off the turds, but they weren't truly theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I heard they just out-sourced Aliens to another studio and didn't do what they were contracted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fresh Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Cliffy B was leading it when it was first announced and he left Epic mid-way through, so that had to have been a major setback. But it has my curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
