This week Mulukh has
been sinking some time into the new strategy RPG, Grand Kingdom, keep
an eye out for Niche Issue 12 for a full review. So this time Niche
Plays has been taken over by Crosshire and his thoughts on Battleborn
vs Overwatch. Some colourful language with
some colourful words but you can always use your imagination.
Jumping between the
two, they are so different. It's a time difference thing, one is
rocket league and the other is 3 laps on a race track. Battleborn is
an experience of growth and learning as your character gets stronger.
Overwatch is fast paced, in and out. You can play like 5 different
characters in the time you would play one in Battleborn. I can play
Battleborn alone or with friends but I only play Overwatch with
friends; it's what everyone is playing.
Overwatch was always
going to overshadow Battleborn. It's frakin' Blizzard, they have a
fudging World of Warcraft MOVIE currently in the cinema. This year
Blizzard are swinging their "credentials" about and getting
poop tonnes of muns for it.
But in all fairness,
Battleborn has a frelling sweet single player with cool ass loot you
can then use in battle, the characters are very stylised in keeping
with the developers,Gearbox. I love that stuff. They plan on patching
the game and balancing the characters, something Blizzard said they
will not be doing with Overwatch. But Blizzard are getting a bad rep
for taking down the Overwatch ... (let's say) "fan art"...
Haha, if I was Gearbox I'd start producing official Battleborn "fan
art".
But yeah, two very
different experiences, two very fun games but Overwatch did steal
some of Battleborn's thunder. It's a shame but I'm honestly happy to
have the option of playing either. Like, you know how long I've been
waiting for something with a bit of colour in the FPS format? Like
seriously, why did no one pick up the ball after Team Fortress 2?
Nope, we went into the CoD generation where every game had to be
gritty and bleak.
