The Robots Don't Fuck In This One - Let's Play Battleborn

Yeah, it’s weird seeing how much of that kind of thing that Heroes of the Storm got right. I tend to compare Battleborn more as a mixture of Borderlands and HotS than Borderlands and Overwatch with the whole talent tree thing. Aside from certain specialists, I don’t think a melee DPS in HotS starts with less than 1,500 HP? Zeratul starts with something like 1,600 HP and that’s because he has stealth. El Dragon has one of the biggest hitboxes in the game and stumbles around like a bull in a china shop and he has less than 1k to start. It’s insane, like I actually can’t comprehend how they let that get through testing.

Even Valeera,the WoW rogue, starts with 2029 HP in HotS. You need survivability in a game where you’re expected to rub your face up against the enemy and might not be able to get away

Ah don’t remind me, she’s the bane of my existence as Tracer right now haha. Fun to play but man can she be a pain to fight when she gets a good team to back her up, but at least she’s fun to play unlike a lot of characters here that just feel unpolished.

Guess what group of jackasses just got down with the next mission. That’s right, the only group of people playing the Battleborn story mode at this juncture!

Also guess who’s recording might’ve just gotten fucked

I saw that :slight_smile:

I was gonna argue that I’m also playing it, but I’m only doing it solo. Who playtested this thing?

Judging by how bad Mission 4 is, probably Satan, though I’d expect him to have better taste.

I can vouch that Mission 4 really is a test of patience, especially in solo. How anyone thought the mere concept of it would be any fun honestly baffles me. That mission was part of a game that was released in 2016 and I seriously have trouble comprehending that.

The funny thing is when I got to the ending, the Steam servers went down for maintenance and the game kicked me out. I got like halfway through it and it just cut off. I didn’t even get to see the credits. I felt like that was the perfect ending to the game. I do have a friend who likes this game more than Overwatch (don’t ask, I really don’t know why.) and if I knew it wouldn’t murder my computer I’d probably try and record some multiplayer matches for you guys. Are you guys gonna show off that part of the game or is it just single-player?

So, uh

my graphics card died. Until I get a new one this LP has to be put on indefinite hiatus.

This game killed Kobuddy’s computer. It is a blight on the world that must be purged!

A fitting (if only temporary) end.

Ironically if anything killed my graphics’ card it’s Heroes of the Storm because I played that after Battleborn

It’s been three thousand years since your computer felt what a good game was like. The moment you went back to play a Blizzard game it couldn’t take it, clearly.

at least the discord fam came together with a potential solution

the lp may yet be saved

Well, good news and bad news. The good news is, it turns out my problems were a windows issue and a clean install of windows fixed it, so the LP is saved.

The bad news is we have to play Battleborn again.
