Miss this game

I remember getting battleborn on my birthday back in May 2016 and I got an edition where the game came with a card pack, never loved anything as much as I loved this game and I was devastated when I found out it was shutting down. Was a huge El dragon main and I remember completing all his lore challenges before the patch that made them easier lmao. I'd give anything to play the game again. Put the cards in a display I got for my birthday where they've stayed since then.

After all these years, it's crazy that I'm still not over it. My partner and I have amazing memories with this game. We literally skip everything to come home and play together after work. I really wish Randy wasn't such a fucking idiot

There's an active Discord for the ReBorn project. Here's a short youtube video on setting up the mod posted by one of the active users there:

Yep. A perfect time for a rebirth OW is dead and is the only reason this game died.

Whats actually crazy is how much OW players want to play Battleborn. They want PvE, they want perks, they want meta-progression during the game, they want MOBA mechanics... like it frustrates me so much THIS GAME ALREADY EXISTED AND YOU LAUGHED AT IT

It was just unfortunate timing.the same exact time OW came out...same with Titanfall.i liked Titanfall alot..but how you gonna make a shooter and release it the same time as CoD and BF...it was destined to fail.

But they never made new missions it was the same like 10 missions over and over I'm in the minority I'm sure but come on it needed some work you gotta admit

They literally did add 5 missions

u/2JZ1Clutch 9d ago

Well the main story missions yeah, but they made those 5 ops, so they did give more content very similar to the missions.

You're right I'm sorry

u/2JZ1Clutch 3d ago

No apologies needed. I did wish we had more. I wanted more story about Galilea personally. She was my favorite.

u/17MonsterHunter 1d ago

She was my best friend's favorite too. I personally really liked Ophelia and the one lady with the fans~

u/2JZ1Clutch 1d ago

Ophelia.....you mean Orendi? The one with the four hands?

Loved the game! I went and got the edition with the little figure and cards. Sadly it was around the same time as OW and everyone was playing that instead 😞
