I hope it's as good as the movie. πŸ’€

I guarantee they're panic making this specifically because they need to make back all the money Randy spent on the movie

They all have kind of bad pacing. Takes too long to get to the good parts, spends too much time walking back and forth or driving around. The core gameplay is meh- it's more about levels and gear stats than like strategy or execution. It takes too long to get enough skill points to do interesting things.

Unless they address that stuff, I'm going to wait for the game to be in the bargain bin.

Almost as if it was a looter shooter. Oh wait...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

"looter shooter" is irrelevant to most (arguably all) of the complaints listed.

Nah, that's not it - Warframe did it right

This is such a bad time to release a borderlands trailer. Borderlands needs to hide until people forget about that awful movie.

Let's hope for something more like 2.

[–] BoxOfFeet 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I hope so. 3 was awful, I didn't even finish it.

Was hoping the movie would have killed the franchise and force them to move on and make something original again instead of wallowing in IP rot.

At least the games are usually fun to play.

The story will be meh, but I doubt the gameplay will be bad.

[–] BroBot9000 10 points 3 months ago

The gameplay loop is only fun when the dialogue is funny and it hasn’t been funny since 2.

I’m just so over looking at virtually identical gear with slightly better stats that were randomly generated.
