Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has condemned the "cyber-terrorists" responsible for bringing down the PlayStation Network, calling on gamers to support not attack Sony as it works to restore services.
“Future experiences [are] already under development at Gearbox," says Randy Pitchford
I'm actually surprised by this, I feel like it came and went very quickly without too much interest
but good to see!
Well, it was relatively short and no True Vault Hunter mode to replay the campaign. The DLC was horribly short, lame and overpriced, which didn't help.
Probably had a significantly smaller budget, so it was able to smash lower targets while not being immensely popular.
I wonder how Borderlands 3 did overall as well. I've seen that game for under $15 multiple times (and in multiple clearance racks for $5).
A sequel will need a lot of work. They didn't lean nearly enough into the fantasy elements, which left the combat feeling like Borderlands rather than a new franchise. The end game is trash, there's no new game plus, no proper DLC/expansions, etc. The drop rates for loot were god awful.
It had a lot of great ideas but in terms of gameplay it felt way too safe, like Gearbox was too scared to stray too far from Borderlands.
I legit thought it was intended to be dlc at first for b3 which kind of explains why it didn't
Yeah, fuck those drop rates. Trying to farm for something specific was futile. Especially for the armor. Need to match 2 classes instead of 1, and then there's the whole Ascended, Primordial, etc thing that made it even harder. Add another class into it later lowered the chances even further. They really needed to tailor drops so you had a better chance of getting your own classes drops.
This is why I stopped playing. I'd spend an hour or two every day farming, filling my inventory, loading up loot bunnies with crystals, and consistently get nothing to show for it after a month of trying to get an upgrade for one piece of gear.
Pitchford mentions that they're currently working on a Brothers in Arms game, but also suggests that the game is in early development.
It's been way too long. They cancelled BiA: Furious 4 to make Battleborn and look how that turned out. Though I do hope this new entry is more like the proper BiA games, rather than F4 which was basically Borderlands meets Inglorious Basterds.
FINALLY!
Please let it be true to the series. Don't wreck it like Rainbow 6. Can we get at least one tactical single player shooter with squad commands?
Gearbox Entertainment CEO Randy Pitchford said that selling his company will be good for both gamers and employees.
Any merger that openly talks about financial targets is bad news for gamers and code for "We need to figure out how to get more money from gamers".
I agree with the article. Feels like hackers are attacking the gaming industry as a whole now with their recent hacking of official video game sites (Eidos) and threats to game developers.
Randy talks so much sense, he's one of the few developers who actually smiles and has a positive attitude towards his own games too. All other devs are too serious.
Indeed, he is right.

Holy crap. You mean he's actually FOR the victim? What a twist.
