Should have been available from the start. Gearbox effed up so hard with BL2 post launch content.

dazzrazz4426d ago (Edited 4426d ago )

You mean the outsourced company they hired to do DLC , cause gearbox had little to do with it besides the upcoming one 4th :P

Minato-Namikaze4426d ago

its their game so they are still responsible for everthing that comes with it. They chose the outsource company, they chose not to put pearlescent items in the game at launch, they chose to make the game hard to add a level cap increase to (in their words).

From now on i might just wait for GOTY editions of gearbox games, they arent making a strong case for me to buy their games at launch after this.

scotchmouth4426d ago

Gearbox has a say in what is made do they not? This should have been there from the get go

Captain Qwark 94426d ago

esp because borderlands is the only great game they have ever made, seems idiotic to let anyone else touch your pride and joy. thats a quick way to lose fans and profits and go under

KingMe424426d ago

Not really? Pearlscent are the perfect complement to a lvl cap increase. Plus they were originally a dlc weapons in BL1 as well. I see no reason the add them to post lunch version of game.

Now if only they balanced Maya out a bit for phaselocked immune enemies don't just out right cancel and make 7+ of her skills meaningless.

Thebee4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

In all honesty it was the laziest work ever they just took guns normal guns and changed the effect. It would have been cool to she some bonkers looking guns... Or atleast bring back the alien guns:(....pity

Th3 Chr0nic4426d ago

gearbox needs to stop outsourcing. its still their fault or even more their fault if they hire someone to do their work for them and they screw up.

jagstatboy4426d ago

Borderlands is so good, I forgive any sin they've committed against me.

dumahim4426d ago

I'm not even sure I care anymore. Adding 3-4 times the HP for all the enemies just makes playing the game solo a big drag. Way to kill the fun for the solo player.

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."

TheNamelessOne275d ago

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

pwnmaster3000275d ago

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

DustMan274d 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.

Demetrius274d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot275d 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_drake275d ago

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

-Foxtrot275d 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_B274d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake275d ago

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

but we'll see soon

Terry_B274d 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.

RaidenBlack274d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal274d ago

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

RaidenBlack274d ago

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

5 Amazing Side Quests In Games That You Need To Experience

While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

Honorable mention to Drive Clubs Ferrari Fxx-K. Should be there over Horizon.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series

Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground

Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3

And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2

Gardenia852d ago

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

dumahim852d ago

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

toxic-inferno852d 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.
