I pretty much always roll solo because my playtimes are weird, but if you're around I'd love to hop in a group. Add me if you're still playing, GT: daedalius
Paragon is fun, but its a little too Moba, and not nearly enough shooter; its almost like MMO style combat.
Battleborn is my sweet spot I guess, I love the leveling in the match, and shooting (well in my case slashing or fencing people to death with Rath or Phoebe), lining up abilities, etc. I feel like the gameplay is super unique, at least I certainly haven't played anything like it before.
2 cents. Gearbox has a solid understanding of how the MMO/RPG/ShootLoot crowd's mind works (and Borderlands owned it as a result) but is still learning, and maybe made some false assumptions, on how it is relates to the MOBA crowd's mindset.
@fredchuckdave I'm gonna go do my research after posting this comment but isn't Overwatch a nigh-totally different genre?
The only similarities between Overwatch and Battleborn is that they have different heroes and its played in first person. They play 100% differently, aside from aiming and shooting some weapons.
I was kind of down on it when the beta hit... but then I just kept playing it, and playing it. And I was playing their MOBA-lite mode, Incursion, which I think is a ton of fun. Its definitely not Jeff's kind of game, since I know he prefers the super fast kill-times of stuff like CoD, whereas with this its much more like: chain your skills properly and help your team to get a kill.
Also it has split-screen and what I find to be fun missions to coop, so that is a plus for my wife and I who loved Borderlands 2 and played everything that existed for it.
So yea, I really like it; I'm not sure why everyone is so down on it.
