GR - "The Borderlands 2 online instruction manual popped up on Steam a few weeks back, only to be deleted within hours. As it turns out, its text hides mentions of "Gearbox Shift" and "Shift Codes," which players will encounter when the game officially launches next week."
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
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."
Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse
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.
I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.
well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain
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).
it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game
but we'll see soon
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.
I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!
Wonder how much they'll be selling those items for to those non-exclusive folk?
Don't make me sign up for more junk. Sign ups aren't cool, bro.
I hope its all completely free loot.
It won't let me get into the source/link. It just sits there trying to load while every other page loads just fine :/
I read on the forums people are speculating about it being their opt-in stat-tracking service on PC.
"So this Shift is an improved/newer/upgraded version of an online data mining system that tracks stuff happening in gearbox's games? I know that it was mentioned that they were tracking data from all the machines hooked up at E3. People on other sites are speculating it's something Steam related, like a potential game distribution service? Which is a bit odd considering BL2 is a steam game?"
