PAX 14 - Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is More of the Same but Not in a Terrible Way | Twinfinite

Twinfinite writes:

In world filled with monsters, treasure, and Claptrap, it was slightly concerning how much different and out of the box Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel could be. Turns out space and all the nothing within it can add a new dimension to the series. It's enough to keep the franchise semi-fresh, but not really enough to convert people who hate the series.

So the Pre-Sequel is more Borderlands and pretty much nothing else.

And this is bad how?

Borderlands 1 and 2 are probably my most played games last gen, I totally love the whole vibe of Pandora but I'm just not at all excited for this game, I don't know why either.

I like both Borderlands one and two, but I so far I prefer one, yes number two might have more weapons, loot etc, but number one in my opinion has got the better DLC and better story line.

Either way I can't wait to play this.

Stupid of Gearbox for not bringing this out on PS4/XB1. Their reasons become less relevant every day as more people move from last gen to this gen. The game will not sell anything like what the others did. I think they should of bitten the bullet and made for the latest gen of consoles only (assuming they developed for just one gen).

I shan't be buying unless it's very cheap which I suspect it will become very quickly.

For some developers it comes down to selling games to the majority which is still on last gen. Not to mention they can wait another year or 2 for the next gens to get through their development hurdles and strides to be made with engines to maximize the efficiency of the consoles.

Basically gearbox is the company that is last to show up to the party but when they do they at least bring a keg of beer and some fireworks.

More Borderlands is totally not a bad thing. I wasn't really that hyped for this when it was first announced, but seeing more of the game I'm starting to feel the same kind of hype when Borderlands 2 was released.

I'm a huge Borderlands fan ; BL2 hasn't been out of my PS3 since it launched in September 2012, but I too, can't get excited for this.
As I just love the looting aspect, Destiny will be my new go-to addiction once it drops in September. Thanks Gearbox, for two great games and DLC, which have given me countless hundreds of hours of entertainment.
