Borderlands 4 writer says no to Skibidi Toilet and Hawk Tuah jokes

In a thread on social media, Borderlands 4 narrative director Sam Winkler revealed that the game will cut down heavily on the last game’s “overabundance of toilet humor”.

Good to know even the Borderlands writing team has some sort of standards.

Hot take: Hawk Tuah puns rank better than most of the humor vomited out in Borderlands 3. That's how low the bar already is.

Good. That nonsense isn't funny, and the scammed doesn't deserve to be mentioned

MetroidFREAK21147d ago

Seems like people like being scammed/no good humor. Oh well

Skibidi Toilet is exactly what you'd expect from the gaming community, it's a good use of a well known IP and actually humorous. The issue is the overuse of memes and Internet culture. You gotta be clever with your references.

They don't need them. Boarderlands is on its own level of cell-dwelling cringedom.
"Borderlands 4 writer" ... Ick. Don't go flexing that around.

While not a huge fan of toilet humor, I do enjoy seeing subtle meme references/easter eggs in it. And let's face it, nobody plays Bordelands because it's classy, it's supposed to have vulgar comedy.

Ori Dev Pushes Back on No Rest for the Wicked Review Bombing

Thomas Mahler warned that unfair review bombing could harm the studio’s future but later clarified it's not in immediate danger of closing.

I really, really hope that this amazing studio will eventually give us one last Ori game, it can be a prequel. Will of the Wisps is one of my favourite games of all time but as for their new game ehhhh.. let’s just say i have zero interest in it but they seem very passionate about it so i hope this review bombing doesn’t affect the studio’s future.

It doesn't even have to be an Ori game it can just be similar. I want them to make a side stroller combat game. Kinda like super smash bros but with ori playstyle

if you like arpgs, but wasn't a big fan of screenclearing attacks, this is a really fun game. It's sort of diablo meets dark souls.

This is a great game, i dont think its fully released yet, but it has a heap of content if you want to get stuck in

I don’t get the criticism at all. From the visuals to the story, music, voice acting, and gameplay, it’s incredible on every level. Sure, some parts aren’t perfectly balanced yet and there are a few glitches, but the game isn’t even fully released. I’ve put around 80 hours into The Breach update already (300 or so in total), and I still can’t get enough.

Majority of the criticism is on the time-gating they utilize in the game that makes it feel like a mobile game. I think his making it out to be just people who leave a thumbs down review without effort isn't really why people are leaving bad reviews. If you read through them, they really hate having timers on so much considering building them in the first place requires you to collect materials to make them, which should be the 'time' you spend and not just waiting for it to finish being constructed.
