image5 Reasons You Can Love Both Overwatch & Battleborn - The List at MMORPG.com

Yet even in all the positive press both games have received, more than a few people have felt as if they have to choose one over the other. It’s almost as if some have come to believe that they can only like one game per genre and that any others are not up to par. We’re here to tell you that that’s not true. You can love and enjoy both Overwatch and Battleborn! No, really. You can!

    It is possible to love both if you have enough cash to buy both :)

    I liked Overwatch. Very polished, smooth controls, familiar yet different gameplay and a fun character selection. I can see why there's so much hype. But I'm getting less and less competitive as I get older and rarely find myself taking part in PvP of any sort these days, so I can't really justify paying for it. Battleborn does feel a little less polished but the PvE and crude humor are what I really enjoy.

    Really enjoy BB, especially the single player Campaign, didn't get into much of Overwatch because its mainly just straight forward PVP action, typically those game don't have a lot of life after period's of time, so it will be interesting to see how long Overwatch stays active. I am guessing we will see a PVE campaign in the future since that is what happens to most Blizzard games that dont offer it at release. You need some type of PVE content to draw in the non PVP crowd and to keep the game interesting after the first 30 days.. BB will just add more storylines with the SeasonPass to help keep interest alive

    Good article (haven't said that lately) and good points. I wish people could see this.

    No muss no fuss, that's me all over. I don't have time for grind or gear, just get me straight to the action, I have too many other things to do than play video games just to get to where I want to be in game.

    awww....sweet. Battleborn ftw!

    Played both, thought they were average. Cartoony shooters just don't do it for me. So I loved: neither.

    Hoping for some goodness from BF1 or maybe that new CoD one (but it doesn't seem to be popular...).

    Its like sleeping with a girl you wouldnt otherwise. Stay true to yourself and dont get manipulated (even if she has some nice milkies).

    I want to add two points to the article about Battleborn.

    For one, the majority of the PvE maps last between 25-40 minutes at normal difficulty so far. The PvP offers three different modes, with the two more complex, MOBAesque modes lasting 30 minutes at max.
    The third PvP mode is pretty close to classic domination maps, in which you get points for controlling one of three capture points. This mode is pretty straight forward PvP, close to team deathmatch and matches typical last only around 15 minutes.

    I also want to share that from my experience, if you only care for PvP, Battleborn also offers the complete experience. I would even say its focus is more on the PvP side, if you only want to PvE, I would find the game a bit lacking in case you plan to play it extensively.

    Great game so far.

    Yeah i feel the same about these type of games. When i was younger these multiplayer pvp games were all i played back in the day. Now i just don't have the energy or want to play them anymore. Also all the cheating that goes with these games don't help either.

    I went with neither, played the beta of both and did not like either of them.  There is no story behind them.  Nothing to keep me interested in either.

    Unfortunately where I live they cost a lot of money: I loved BB but it costs $100! Overwatch was fun but not as deep as BB and it is similarly priced. I actually think BB is worth the money, but I can't justify buying every game that takes my fancy straight away and I still have quite the backlog on my wishlist.

    I bought both and got a refund on BB, it s really that bad.
  • bcbullybcbully Member EpicPosts: 11,843
    They're nothing a like. I'm not sure why they are being compared.

    Plus Battleborn reminds me too much of Wildstar.

    Why choose two?  

    There's half a dozen of these games coming out in the near future.

    I will play Overwatch and I will most likely play Lawbreakers and Paragon considering I'm easy to win over when it comes to really good graphics.

    I liked the style and play of Dirty Bomb, but after watching Angry Joe's review, I won't go anywhere near that game.  The "pay to advance" factor is so high that it might as well be pay to win.

    The reason I don't like Battleborn has little to do with who makes it, or some innate desire to be exclusive to Overwatch. The art style is, in my opinion, hideous.  It's one of the ugliest games I've seen since Wildstar, and that's saying something.  It's like being on an acid trip inside of a kaleidoscope factory.

    I mean if you give me two steaks and one tastes like a perfectly seared and seasoned medium well done filet from Ruth's Chris, and the other tastes like gall bladder of a yak from a McDonald's fryer, then I'm going to gravitate to the one I enjoy.  Nothing untoward about that.

    Played them both.



    Battleborn I genuinely disliked - the game did nothing for me.



    Overwatch - nice polished, plays well - but was just so "meh" for me - I mean it felt like TF2 with heroes basically, nothing made me "I want to play this again". Just forgettable for me.





    IMO - Doom is where it's at - at least for me Doom was instantly about 100x more fun and keeps me going back for more.



    And - yes - I do realize that Overwatch, Battleborn and Doom are 3 very different games.



    Where as I found the palette and the use of black ....everything again (Afuckingain!) to be overly done. Doom is a decent game but it's riding on a old IP with alot of Old material to go through and re-use...extensively.


    I'm waiting on BF1 at this time. Overwatch and BB are in my collection but still sometimes you don't want hyperactive run and gun chaos. Sometimes you want to charge across a battlefield behind a tank getting shot at by a nest of Gerries.

    Then again as with all BF games I just end up flying anyhow so I may as well just play Warthunder.
