I hope the writing is better than 3’s.
Imagine if it was worse. “Somehow, Troy Calypso returned”
I played Borderlands 2 for quite a while, 1200 hours +, 100% on Steam. Some of the best gaming moments in my life fighting Vermivorous the Invincible with 3 friends. What came after in the franchise was just disappointing to me.
I played the shit out of 2 as well. When 3 came along it had literally all of the improvements I wanted to see, and it felt so much better to boot, but the core gameplay had grown stale because of how much time I spent in the second
After 3, Wonderlands, and New Tales I can’t say I’m particularly excited.
Wdym “New Tales”? They made a follow up to Tales From The Borderlands? Because that game was amazing.
Yes, there’s a game called “New Tales From The Borderlands”. It’s generally regarded as pretty bad, and is in no way a worthy followup to the original.
After 3 and Wonderlands, I’m not interested. Maybe if it goes to 75% off or something (which was my policy after seeing reviews of 3 and Pitchford’s … Pitchfordity)
Maybe Valve is on to something with not counting to 3.
Hopefully 4 won’t be an epic exclusive at launch.
Really not looking forward to it, even though I’ve played every other game including Tiny Tina’s. They really dropped the ball with the Wonderlands DLC, they undid any and all trust I had in their post-release expansions, so they are really going to have to be announcing some ground-breaking new features if they want me to pay on release. Otherwise, I guess I’ll be playing it in 2028 when it’s discounted, if the state of the world allows it.
I can look past not having iconic villains, as much DLC, or having new releases that are just minor upgrades, but the drop in the expectations for post-release quality, I guess that’s where I draw the line, no pre-orders from me.
Since the consensus is that Borderlands is now a dead franchise, anyone know of any alternatives? I enjoy Roboquest, but it doesn’t quite scratch the same itch (minus the artstyle). Gunfire Reborn seems closer to Borderlands, so I’ll check it out eventually.
“We know everyone loves billionaires, so now there are a billion billion guns! And all the guns do over a billion damage!!” Idk why but I just get the sense they’ll make that kind of joke here
