Borderlands 2′s Mechromancer Details and “Girlfriend Mode” Sexism or Sexy-ism?

Borderland's 2 Lead Designer describes the new skill tree as "girlfriend mode". Most people disagree on this description but I think it is sadly a good description and a product of how girl gamers are treated today.

Lame
Honestly, no one who is putting up these opinion pieces is really sharing anything new at all. 75% of the article is news that is already reported on N4G and then they share a brief "I don't agree" or "I agree" comment. Can we get an opinion piece that truly examines the statement rather than the very short rebuttals?

I believe the writer is the one stuck in "Girlfriend Mode"

MySwordIsHeavenly4274d ago

You put us in the "friend zone"...

I believe "girlfriend mode" is long overdue.

achmetha4274d ago

I think this whole thing is silly.

AngelicIceDiamond4274d ago

I don't think its a big deal I really don't, its just a name of a mode? "Girlfriend Mode" my thoughts: "Ok"

Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.

jeromeface157d 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

DrDoomer157d ago

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

-Foxtrot157d 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.

BrainSyphoned157d ago

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...
