But I'm a special case. The only online multi-player anything I've ever really sunk any time into was Mass Effect 3. So... if that helped you lick your
narrative scarred wounds like me I think you'll really dig Battleborn.
Folks are giving it a half-hearted thumbs down and I can't blame anyone for feeling that way. I've got a really specific taste. This is a game that's as easy or hard as you wanna make it. Are you looking to waste some time till you sober up enough to go to bed (
not autobiographical at all), then there's a character for you!

You can seriously have a great time just healing tanks and setting up defenses as I discovered trying to hunt a non aggression achievement. Turns out I read it wrong and didn't have to avoid doing any damage, but there's a lot to do if you just hate shooters... that's kind of amazing. But I was still leaning towards the 7.5 to 6 the critics were telling me about. Then I found my favorite character:
She's the frikkin' best. She can buff friendly shields, steal enemy shields, she can get head shots like it's nothing... there's a wrist mounted shotgun laser, oh! and the glowing eye patch. Love that thing. I could see myself spending at least another 15 hours with the game just with her healer/rogue hybrid awesomeness. After my first match it felt like Gearbox had made a character just for me. I love headshots, de-buffs, and healin'. If I find just one more character like her that's worth $40 to me right there.
But again guys, I haven't played a multiplayer game in
years. Take my enthusiasm with a grain of salt if that's your wheel house.
