Overwatch vs. BattleBorn

Just your opinion on which is better, why you think it's better or which game does what better an of course are they worth the money. Just saying now before somebody else does, go ahead and think what you want it's YOUR opinion but I honestly think these two game share little and are very different. They are both shooters and they both have heros, thats for me where the similarities stop. But in my opinion i think both games are good in there own rights but if i had to choose, i would pick BattleBorn. Mainly because Overwatch, while simple in comcept but fun, would repaet itself after a long time, but BattleBorn just needs more content, a DLC or two would help things out.

    If I had to pick i'd choose Overwatch but I dont see how the two are comparable other than the cartoonish style. Both play completely differently and made with different play styles in mind.

    I'd say Battleborn is more of a MOBA and Overwatch is a FPS with objective play

  • I get tired of the "they're the same" BS

  • Battleborn. I don't care for pvp but battleborn has a story

  • Overwatch has great story, just most of it takes place outside of the game.

    Stop comparing these games. I will not choose between them because they are not even remotely comparable, the only thing they have in common besides guns is heroes, which is a very vague similarity. Battleborn is basically a first person MOBA, it also has an in-game story mode with amazing bosses. Overwatch is a team based shooter, it's story is told outside of the game through comics and shorts (Personally I find it more interesting than Battleborns anyway).

    I kind of think Battleborn released at a very bad time, since Overwatch had great marketing and Battleborn mostly had zilch, so people brushed it off as an inferior rip off (Even though they were in development at the same time). That being said Battleborn doesn't appeal to me personally, since I'm sick of MOBAs.

    Sorry, I just see this stupid comparison everywhere and it infuriates me.

  • Having to be actively searching for story online is cheap and sucky, it also encourages snobbery in the fanbase imho.

  • Agreed i hate having to look for it

  • No i did not mean this a comparison between the two, i meant for this to be which one do you like better and why

  • Yeah I make it more of that I'd prefer to play overwatch but I can't compare the two as I stated at the top. Ones a fps and the other moba. And I don't wanna play a moba right now haha

  • Overwatch is clearly the superior.

  • Doesn't matter to me. They wanted to make a great multiplayer game without investing their computer team in a narrative driven story line while still maintaining a good story with good characters. It's not like they're hiding the story from you.

  • That would have delayed its release and possibly detracted from the overall quality of the game. Without singleplayer they can focus on making the game far greater than if it was included.

  • Eh, I don't even know what Battleborn is, so I'll go with Overwatch. :P

  • Battleborn.

    Overwatch was too hard.

  • The two can't be compared, but I vastly prefer Overwatch. The game has such great characters and fun maps. It's easy to play, but hard to master which I like. I also like the fact that each character feels unique. One thing I will give Battleborn though is that Atleast it has a story. I love Overwatch, but a story mode would've made the game even better.

  • Bit surprised, considering how much hours you have In BL2. It's made by Gearbox.

    Actually, I made a bit of research about it.

    I actually didn't recognize the name at first and but found out what Battleborn is. I think TheLazyPeon made an impression of it.

    It's an alright game, but I still find Overwatch more interesting, even if Battleborn has a story mode, which is always something I really like.
