I am, however, pretty into gigantic faction vs faction vs faction fights, which is what this was promising in the form of Space Marines vs Chaos Space Marines vs Orks vs Eldar. Now, I'm not a dyed in the wool Warhammer fan, so that's not why I've been eagerly awaiting this game. I know that's not much, but in a game that feels like it's been stalled for forever and a half, this is a hella-big step forward.
I was about to sweep this one into the “too ambitious to be released before I die” pile, until I noticed it just recently went into Closed Alpha.

Something for almost everyone, and if Gearbox has shown anything through their Borderlands games, it's that it knows how to make things colorful, larger-than-life fun, which only adds to the game's potential for it. It can be played solo or co-op, in game arenas against others or against the computer, or just follow typical story and quest progression mode. However, more than offering just a variety of heroes, Battleborn offers a variety of ways to enjoy it. The hero selection pulls from any and all genres with the elven archer, the clockwork butler, the ammo-spitting heavy, the ax-crazed dwarf berserker, the ninja, and more – so many more – which is where I thought they developed their tag line of "For Every Kind of Badass." Is there something you want to play? Is there a particular mode in which you'd like to play? Gearbox's Battleborn is seeming to promise it all, or at least most. The best way I can think of to describe what this game has the potential to be is a gamer's vending machine. They've been dependent on crowdfunding, and the more donations they get, the more resources they have to get things done. When a campaign ends on that world, the world is done and gone forever. Some of those worlds are persistent and player-run, and some are slowly being eaten away by The Hunger. It's not a game world, but multiple worlds, and time is a factor in the state of those worlds. While the combat element seems fairly linear in the pre-alpha footage revealed so far, the dimension they're adding to the world you'll be playing through is new and different, and that's something worth looking into. I'm not too used to my games stabbing me in the back (as opposed to corporations who come in and take over the things I love and then ruin them), so this sets an interesting precedent. So, a Game Of Thrones-ish inspired MMO/RTS love child? “Scare-roused” doesn't seem appropriate, as I don't love my games that way, yet here I am both frightened and giddily intrigued by the prospect.
