The story behind Michael Mamaril

On Monday, I was reviewing my Borderlands 2 Trophy list when I came across the ‘Tribute to A Vault Hunter’ achievement. According to its description, I needed to acquire an item from Michael Mamaril. After a few minutes of intelligent Googling, I discovered that Michael is a non-playable character residing in Sanctuary who, if you talk to him, will give you some rare loot. The lengths some people will go to for interesting conversation…

It's good to see developers doing some good despite all the horrible business practices we've had in the industry lately. Bravo Gearbox!

now this is really good news, this should be on the top of N4G.

They need the space for the "Sony is doomed" articles.

Wow, I didnt put the two together. Kudos Gearbox, thats pretty damn commendable.

clarick014221d ago

I've always liked it when developers do stuff like this.

You're a class act, Gearbox. Not the first time that Ive read how they are in touch with and appreciate their fanbase. Classy game too, btw.

I just met the guy the other night... this is the coolest thing I've heard in a while!

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.

jeromeface148d ago

doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality

DrDoomer149d ago

FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.

-Foxtrot149d ago

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...

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim458d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno458d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
