2K Games at E3 2012 – Borderlands 2, X-Com, and Spec Ops l Poptimal

Poptimal.com writes "Crammed into a large corner in the South Hall, 2K Games would come to be known- lovingly- as the Red Light District of the convention. Not because of any scantily clad street walkers that hung out around the booth or because of any sexy-time shenanigans unfolding behind the press-only area. No, it would be because it was literally a red light district; the main entrance to the booth was a swath of thousands of pinhole sized bright red LED lights that cast an amber glow onto everything within a fifty foot radius of it. It was certainly the most ostentatious of all Third Party booths, but strangely they had the least to show, particularly with the absence of Bioshock. What remains is a mixed bag that the jury is still out on."

Amazing Games You Can't Buy Anymore

Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb114d ago

I have this. Never even realised it had become rare.

staticall114d ago

@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.

I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.

RaidenBlack114d ago

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS114d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal115d ago

I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.

Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.

Chocoburger115d ago

Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.

Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅

NotoriousWhiz114d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel115d ago

I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed

TorpeAlex115d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai114d ago

I lost my physical copy in a move, it still bothers me to this day 😅😔

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne315d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000315d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan314d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius314d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot315d ago

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake315d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot315d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B314d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake315d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B314d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack314d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal314d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack314d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
