Day 2 of Battleborn Countdown II:
Favorite Faction: THE ROGUES!!
As much as I adore EVERY faction in this game (& every character really) I just canât get over how much fun the Rogues are, haha! The whole concept of them is super interesting, and the characters are all unique and lovable in their own ways. LOOOOOVE THIS WEIRD FAMILY <3
[EDIT] WHOOPS, just realized I forgot to detail Orendi's clothes, hahaha. Will have to edit this later! 8'D
(Posting this a little late on Tumblr, WHOOPS; it wasn't late on Twitter, though! LOL) Day 1 of BATTLEBORN COUNTDOWN II! Favorite Battleborn: Shayne (& Aurox, but I'm terrible at drawing him! 8'D) These two were the driving force behind me getting BB, and Shayne is the complete embodiment of everything I wanted to be at her age, lmao! (Hopefully I do better on time the rest of the week than I did on this first day! Hahaha!) LOOOOOVE THIS GAME & THE WHOLE AMAZING COMMUNITY!!
Iâm not anti-overwatch. I just really hate blizzard kiss-asses who decided that itâs okay for them to bully a much smaller community AND company.
Blizzard is one of the top gaming companies with thousands of workers. Gearbox has like 300 or something. They only have a small dedicated following. Everyone else who buys their games just insults them and treats them like shit to get them to release the next game. Every post they make on social media is littered with unnecessary vile behavior.
Next time you unnecessarily compare Battleborn and Overwatch by beating up Battleborn for no fucking reason, just remember that youâre also contributing to the actual bullying that people participate in when it comes to people who are working on the game.
Echoing this sentiment.
Notice how Overwatch can post things without Battleborn fans getting on and being awful to them. Nobody tells the Blizzard staff to stop making their game. To stop making Overwatch DLC and âJUST MAKE A SEQUEL TO WORLD OF WARCRAFT ALREADY!!! THATâS THE GAME EVERYONE WANTS!!â So why, then, canât the same decency be afforded to the Gearbox team?
Game studios donât exist to serve us. They are not a service industry: theyâre a luxury industry. They are creative teams, and their job is to make whatever they want.
Iâm sorry Borderlands 3 isnât out yet, but be thankful they even gave you Borderlands 2. My favorite game didnât get approved for a sequel for TEN YEARS, only got a sequel after a massive kickstarter, and the studio made nearly a dozen other games inbetween then & now. Studios (game, movie, and otherwise) work on MULTIPLE PROJECTS AT ONCE, and just because a studio is actively working on one game doesnât mean they arenât also working on the game you do want.
If Gearbox had never created new series and took creative risks, then Borderlands never wouldâve existed in the first place.
They are one of the most unique and stand-out studios in the modern industry because they arenât afraid to try new art styles, work on weird ideas, and take risks.
Sorry if Battleborn isnât your style of game, but plenty of people still love it.
I havenât purchased a new console since the PS2, and yet I bought a PS4 because of Battleborn.
There is nothing wrong with them making the game. Gearbox has every right to continue working on it, and they should not stop just because you say so. STOP verbally assaulting & abusing the creators. It is some of the most pathetic behavior Iâve seen in a long time â WHICH IS SAYING A LOT, CONSIDERING THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD. 8)
Thank you thank you thank you for adding all of this. Gearbox has made it pretty clear that they just want to tell stories for folks who enjoy their stories. They are not going to cater to the masses. Theyâre the innovative risk takers. They just do what they want because they think âhey thatâs pretty neatâ and they throw it out there hoping that maybe someone will like it. And if other people like it theyâre like âhell yeah we love that you like this shit, welcome aboard!â
Itâs not much different from your average artist here on tumblr who isnât exactly super popular but they have a dedicated little following that showers âem with love and thatâs enough to keep em going!
As someone who has gotten into both, but preferres each for different reasons lemme give you my experience at least. Itâs not fair to say battleborne never bullied overwatch in general, gearbox actually called them out on twitter and blizzard just said hey we can both exist itâs fine. Community wise you guys are looking at a pretty broad margin. Whenever I hop on OW I donât get the toxicity, in fact Iâve talked to several people about how we feel bad that BB didnât do great because we genuinely enjoyed it. One side note, Iâve seen BB fandom people try to bully OW fans simply because they felt that they were getting bullied so they felt it was fair. Every side has some bad apples, overwatch just pops up more often because there are so many fans of it. A lot of us actually still played Battle Borne but left because we didnât see it going anywhere
I am glad that you have thus-far had a positive experience with the OW community. That being said, the fact that the OW community as a whole is overall hateful and toxic toward BB is absolutely undeniable. Notice how you can look at every single video uploaded to the BB Youtube channel & they ALL have unnecessary attacks from OW fans (and/or Borderlands-exclusive fans). I realize that their community is much larger, so the mean people are more likely to show up, but the only reason the mentality exists is because it became a joke within the OW community.
Iâve seen a couple people toss out the âBATTLEBORNâS DEVS CALLED OUT OVERWATCHâ argument, but itâs time to put that invalid claim to rest.
Battleborn posted a GIF of their character that is a literal embodiment of âFriendly Competitionâ -- Toby, the cute little penguin who apologizes when he kills enemies and then gives his rivals words of encouragement -- with the text âCome at me, broâ. -- The important fact that is ignored, however, is that they IMMEDIATELY REPLIED TO THE POST with a message tagging OW (& others) stating: âSpring is going to be an EPIC time for the hero-shooter genre! Weâre excited to play @PlayOverwatch @Paragon @GoGigantic & many more!â
THAT IS NOT BULLYING, & IS NOTÂ âCALLING SOMEONE OUTâ
It was a common form of interaction between major companies, and the playful nature was very clearly stated. OW, in turn, also reacted in a friendly manner.
Why OW fans decided it was an attack or a challenge is totally beyond me, and if that Twitter post truly IS the origin of the OW communityâs hatred and disgusting behavior, then the fact that such behavior is coming from a place of total ignorance just makes it all even worse.
The fact of the matter is, virtually every time I mention to someone that âIâve been playing Battlebornâ, I get a snide comment -- and I hear this same exact story from virtually ALL of my BB-playing friends. âYou mean âthe shitty Overwatchâ?â -- âPeople still play that dead game?â -- âWhy? Overwatch is so much better!â
Meanwhile, all the BB-players I know who also play OW generally have very normal responses. âYeah, I play OW & like OW, but I usually just have more fun with BBâ <-- This is how people SHOULD react. Other good replies: âOh? Iâve heard of it but never played it!â -- âIt just didnât catch my attention like OW didâ -- âI prefer PvP gameplay, so I like OW more!â -- etc.
Putting people down & attacking their interests as an immediate reaction is just obnoxious and, in any other situation, would not be well-received. Nobody is like âZelda? Why would you play that? Diablo is WAY better!â or âMonster Hunter? More like âshitty Pokemonâ!â -- âPeople still like Sonic? Isnât that a dead franchise?â
It makes sense that a lot of OW players donât like playing BB; theyâre very different games &, if you want PvP gaming, OW is geared more for it. But going out of your way to drag a game (& its fans) thatâs already been hit hard is just totally out of line, and I donât see how a culture like that can possibly be justified.

WELCOME TO MY PAGE
Expect to see a lot of dumb art.
Mostly dumb cartoons, weird human(oid)s, crazy animals, and various forms of costumes.
May also include fanart from time-to-time, along with the occasional fandom thoughts & musings.
PEACEÂ â
