“If we take the posture that we should only make sequels because they’re safe and it’s a sure thing then Borderlands wouldn’t even exist," says Pitchford.
Nintendo Switch games that haven't received patches are still getting performance and loading boosts across the board on Switch 2.
The new Borderlands has been a huge flop, but it has caused the video games to see a boost in popularity following its release.
There have been some good adaptations recently though. I think the Gran Turismo movie is really good and The Last of Us and Fallout TV shows are great too.
If they're going to try, some of them are going to fall short. That's just inevitable. If anything we should encourage more effort so that they learn more about what makes some of these work, while others don't. Honestly I think Borderlands should have been a hit, but I think it would have been much better as an animated show akin to the League of Legends TV show on Netflix.
Yea but the good to bad ratio still leans more to the bad. All the ones you pointed out have been pretty great, can't wait for season 2 of all those shows. With that said, you can't "fall short" unless it's on purpose, in this case it's Borderlands. These characters, the world, the lore is/are fleshed out, there's a ton of source material, there are 7 games!
But BL3 is the worst one in the series....should do #2 and experience Handsome Jack
Nah. Tiny TIna's Wonderland is the worst in my opinion. I enjoyed 3 more than the "pre-sequel" and Tiny Tina's Wonderland.
Agreed, at least 3 felt like borderlands, gameplay was great, bosses were interesting. Wonderlands was just a turn in the wrong direction, the idea seemed great, but playing through the game just didn't feel like borderlands to me. Also dlc scam.
My issue with TTW is that it's supposedly a new IP in the Borderlands universe, not just a Borderlands game. Yet it plays and feels just like Borderlands with some magic tacked on. For every cool new idea there's a handful of ideas just rehashed from Borderlands. They really didn't do enough to make it feel like its own thing. It's still just an FPS with guns, except the guns are magical now. Why not focus instead on crazy melee weapons, bows, and magic/spells instead?
In terms of gameplay BL3 is the strongest in the series. It's the narrative that really lets that game down.
Eh...
The story is definitely worse but there's more to these games than that. Gameplay, loot, endgame and build variety is definitely better in 3. I think they did a great job with the game, some of the DLC is fantastic too.
I agree with people are saying. There's sole really good ideas in the games followed by some odd choices. I loved Bl2 , and I liked the presequel because it tries to explain Handsome Jack's downfall (YouTube game theory handsome jack).
Also PreSeq, has this really cool team play where talents could help pick your friends up from bleeding out. Athena throwing her shield if it bounces of a player they are picked up from dying. Head shots Aith the sniper chick etc.
BL3, I cannot get past the annoying social media influences, it's meant to be funny, it's just unbearable. Gameplay feels solid though. But I've not made it past lvl 20 ish on 3 tries. The story does not interest me, the classes are poor and talents feel bland.
i didnt like 3s sotry villains, like at all.
but i dont think any of the borderlands mainline games were "bad". i nejoyed all of them
but im not part of the community and play them mostly with my friends or alone.
there are worse games rly.
I totally forgot there was a movie coming out. I’m not a big fan of adaptations mainly because most of them suck and they take away from me playing video games. I didn’t get into Borderlands 3 game. 1 was my favorite 2 was pretty good but a third with more of the same didn’t interest me much to begin with.
PS Plus has nine games set to leave the service soon. Here is every game earmarked on our PlayStation Plus leaving list for Essential, Extra, and Premium.

SpellForce III Reforced
Destroy All Humans

Trials of Mana
If you added Among Us and Borderlands 3 to your library they won’t disappear. Not sure if any others were part of essential or not but if they were and you added them to the library they also will still be in your library
Very sad that the new, current gen has lost another huge game and it won't be around for say 2-3 years till BL3 does come.
Good that Gearbox is maintaining some integrity. After the Aliens fiasco they have a lot of respect earning to do.
“If we take the posture that we should only make sequels because they’re safe and it’s a sure thing then Borderlands wouldn’t even exist."
Oh, so Pre-sequel isn't that at all, is it? What a load of crap.
I applaud them for this.
They will create BL3 one day.
But you cant just live off of one thing.
Was looking forward to a release date :-(
