[Lyz Brickley] Gaige the Mechromancer Cosplay (Borderlands 2)

RipTen: "With new Borderlands 2 DLC coming out soon, I figured it was time to reflect on the game. This amazing costume was spotted at Wondercon at the end of March, shortly after the new DLC was announced. A high school girl who cut off her own arm (on purpose!) and an anti-bullying project that can squash and shred just about anything on Pandora … Together, they make up the Mechromancer.

Gaige and Deathtrap are both parts of this costume, created by and cosplayed by Lyz Brickley. All of the Mechromancer cosplays I’ve seen have been of the default costume and hair –and no DT. DT is one mean machine, and his eye really does light up (although no Thunderclap, yet!). I offer all the cupcakes I can find to Brickley for making her robot and remembering to paint the stand in a way that allows it to be photoshopped out. It really does make for good photography."

The photographer did an excellent job on this cosplay.

Lyz poses really well for the camera. I also love how the stand for the robot can be removed fairly easily. Makes that picture of her leaning on it especially awesome.

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."

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

pwnmaster3000280d ago

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

DustMan279d 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.

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

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_drake280d ago

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

-Foxtrot280d 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_B279d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake280d ago

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

but we'll see soon

Terry_B279d 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.

RaidenBlack279d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal279d ago

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

RaidenBlack279d ago

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

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

dumahim857d ago

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

toxic-inferno857d 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.
