God I'm so tired of corpo-speak.

Just be honest and admit you're looking to strangle it for profit

yeah "growth opportunities" just mean it will be microtransaction hell and we should detach from it and expect it to be shit from now on and find a new game franchise to enjoy.

Didn’t like 3, not optimistic.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I loved 3 and I'm also not optimistic.

I liked 3s gameplay so I’m cautiously optimistic for gameplay

I didn’t like the story, it had its moments, but the cons of the story outweigh the pros of the gameplay looking at the big picture

I liked the game unti it started making me do fetch quests to level up enough to continue to storyline

I played it on mute and it didn't really help

I think this is code for “we’re going to make sure the game sucks to own even if it’s good”

Borderlands 4 with gacha mechanics?

Yay!

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pre-order for 50 free pulls!

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Who’s doing the pulling?

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I mean that's just borderlands isn't it.

Ew, ew ew ew! From Embracer to Take Two? That's a step back! Just put the studio out of its misery at this point!

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

2K, a subsidiary of Take-Two, published all the other borderlands. Based on that history, it'll probably be fine.

But based on "growth opportunities," it'll probably run the game.

I thought randy was gone?

Borderlands 3 was so bad that it didn't run on my PS4. It's so badly optimized that it would crash every 30 seconds. I installed and played it for 15 minutes and had about 4 crashes. Reinstalled and tried again, same shit. It is literally unplayable. Is it a good game? I have no idea, it wouldn't let me get far
