Gearbox President Randy Pitchford tweets back against the backlash caused by Borderlands 2's supposed girlfriend mode. No formal apologies have been issued yet from designer John Hemmingway who originated the term, but will you still pick up the game this September?
Multiple future Gearbox Software projects, including Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 have been spotted.
Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.
doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality
FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.
I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.
Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.
That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.
As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
Yes....yes I will still buy it. The quote was taken out of context and it doesn't change my opinion of the game.
I haven't played the original Borderlands so... maybe? Although I consider myself a feminist I think the reaction has been SLIGHTLY over the top. Sure, it's idiotic, but is it worth boycotting a game over? I don't think so, not on its own. If it is the first in a series of offenses, then yes. But it's a really little thing, in my opinion.
That title is oversimplifying, took randy's response totally out of context. Randy denied the fact that the best friend tree was actually called the girlfriend mode. Internet oversimplification is one of the main reasons internet activism doesn't work well.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn about what these guys say. I'll buy it whatever happens.
Don't care what the producers/designers/devs say. Loved the first game, and based on what I've seen thus far, I will love the second game.
Screw the internet's over blown reaction!
