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…
Cancer patient Caleb McAlpine has received VIP treatment from Gearbox Software, following official acknowledgement of his story.
Gearbox has a lot of problems, but one thing they’ve consistently done right is showing appreciation for their fans. Immortalizing Michael Mamaril in the second game was genuinely cool and so is this.
I remember rockstar doing the same thing with red dead 2 I think, that's dope, also shows that us guys just want to sit back have a great time on gems we enjoy
Good thing they went the extra mile and flew him out. We all know about Randy and his love of webcams.
"gets actually" is now acceptable, and published? Wow! Actually gets, is how it should read. I have been reading more and more stories everywhere that are grammatical incorrect. BTW, I thank God for spell check. My spelling is awful. Great news though!
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.
It's good to see developers doing some good despite all the horrible business practices we've had in the industry lately. Bravo Gearbox!
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!
cheers
