Fear and I got through the first 6 missions and are stuck on the 7th (The Saboteur). We get to the final part and the thing we defend just melts before we can clear the wave no matter what, seemingly

Fear walked me through my first multiplayer game, meltdown mode. Still not quite sure what I'm supposed to do in that mode but it was fun, we lost 500-240 and I did very little to help my team unfortunately

I wouldn't stress out about that mission. The developer is looking into it as I guess it's giving everyone trouble. I'd expect a hotfix soon.

And meltdown is a 2 lane mode where both teams are trying to escort their minions into the other teams incinerator to get points. First to 500 wins. So the main purpose is to destroy the other teams minions and protect yours. Of course killing the other team in second but I find a lot of people focus too much on killing instead of the focus. There's no deathmatch mode for a reason. If you want something a little easier and quicker, you may want to start with capture, your classic king of the hill type game.

Played the prolog and an incursion match last night. So much better than a typical death match kill the other team type of game. we got down early 100-48, then the team started playing together and we ended up winning 28-0. May take a little while to get the console crowd to learn the mechanics of a MOBA. So much fun when everything "clicks".

Likely going to dive into the season pass, only $20. I do plan on holding off until after Overwatch comes out since sadly it'll likely hurt the community, but if it stays as easy to find a game as it is now, well it's no argument!

I hope so as well. I played the OW beta for like a hour and came back to this. I just find that OW gets boring quick compared to this. Not that OW is bad, but I just find it pretty simple and quick games. That has a lot of mainstream appeal though.

Bought this today and did the Prologue (PS4)

I loved what I played of it. This is definitely what I was looking for in terms of a mix between Skill Trees, Unique Heros, and gameplay.

Side note, each of the game stops I called only had 1 copy left so thats good right?

It will be interesting to see numbers when Overwatch officially releases. I think the numbers on Battleborn are down now because everyone is trying to play the Overwatch beta while they can. I expect the people playing Battleborn to go up significantly after today but as I said it will be interesting to see what happens when Overwatch fully releases. The more I've played Battleborn the more fun I've had. Even soloing it.

I am starting to wish the skill trees were a bit more diverse. There are only 1-2 skills tops per hero that really matter which one you choose. A little more variety and thought here and you could really mold heroes extremely differently depending on how you wanted to play.

The characters I've played had a good path for either way, while I typically rolled one way since that's how I played the character, although there was a few bum skills, such as Orendi's first skill choice where the second one uncloaks enemies. There was one other I saw that was fairly redundant.

I also didn't care too much for Orendi's mutation, the one that makes her secondary home in, in close proximity, I don't know if it was just an aberration but I was fairly close and the projectiles weren't homing. The range should be extended a little bit, not that you can be long distance, but you shouldn't have to be virtually right next to them for the skill to fire.

Ya I think the helix traits do more than you think. A lot depends on the game mode as well. You also can unlock the mutations which adds a 3rd option.

Is there match making for the campaign or do you need to be in a party? I'm thinking of picking up buy none of my friends have the game.
