There are some similarities between the two games im not saying there’s not. I love bl I really do its what got me to look into this game, but seeing people try to compare the PVE aspect of this game with BL just isn’t fair to this game. It wasn’t designed to be a story driven game with alot of character development and an open world. It was designed to be a multiplayer game with a PVE experience. Not like bl which is a PVE game with very little pvp…this got a little off topic for this thread my bad lol
I’m having a lot of fun playing Battleborn as a single-player experience, and I don’t regret my purchase. I also have zero interest in playing with other people. The humor and characters are wonderfully unique, and each character really plays with a style and speed and weight that sets them apart. There’s also tons of stuff to unlock.
I’m not sure however that I would recommend Battleborn to other like-minded gamers. It just feels like a lot of content - bits of lore and character background, character skins, and character-focused legendary gear - is locked behind public PvP play for most characters. Also, as mentioned above, the PvE feels really unbalanced for several of the characters - the very first mission’s last boss is a headache with melee characters, for example. It’s often doable, given enough attempts, but the challenge can be quite frustrating if you try to play in a way the developers either didn’t account for or didn’t intend, and that makes it difficult to score well.
So I’d recommend people only interested in single-player to wait and see whether or not some of these things get fixed to make single-player more viable. This is not another Borderlands.
