SUPERB !
Best news out of PSX is that Battleborn will have an open beta ! Yes
Play it for yourself, the beta is still on . As for me I have been able to get accustomed to Rath and Rath only and he is awesome too, has a killer combo of speed and lethality. With a healer behind him, he can accomlpish anything.Played a bunch today. Big fan of the art style. Similar to Borderlands, but different. It's cartooney but not cell shaded. Character designs are very nice, and the voice overs and taunts are really well done. Missions have the idiotic Borderlands humour, which is genuinely funny at times. A rarity for games.
The upgrade system is great. They take a lot from mobas and make it work in the context of the game. The loot is interesting. It's basically like having items in dota or smite, but you keep them permanent and have to pay to activate them during a match/mission. Both of the missions are fun. I'd say the "advanced" difficulty might be too easy, but I didn't try hardcore. The 2nd mission is much harder than the first only because it's an escort mission (ugh) and it's hard to keep the vip alive.
Controls feel good and the characters have interesting powers. Very arcadey and simple, but tight. Variety seems good, so multiplayer should be fun. My friends played it. I didn't. They both are experienced moba players, and arena shooter players. They thought it was great.
Overall I'm actually considering getting it now, where it had kind of fallen off my radar before.
When I got the chance to play it, it felt like a MOBA in first person mode. In some ways like Destiny but in other ways different.Currently Amazon has the Digital Deluxe Edition of it on sale for $40 for both the PS4 and XO. I believe the Deluxe edition includes the season pass for all DLC content.

As they describe it: "The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the Season Pass, giving you 5 all-new Story Operations and instant access to 5 new heroes when they release, plus additional skins, taunts, gear packs, and more!"
I haven't played any of the beta or followed much of this game at all, so here's my question. Is the game worth $40?
