I’m surprised anyone would be interested in borderlands 4 after 3 happened
Plot, characters, and writing aside, Borderlands 3 was a very well made and fun game on a technical level. I’m definitely interested in Borderlands 4, as long as we can continue to skip cutscenes lmao.
Can you tell me what you liked about it? I’m not a fan in general (looter shooters like that just aren’t my thing), but all my friends are, and none of them have ever had a positive thing to say about 3, with opinions ranging from meh at best to absolutely awful. Hell, even the guy in our group who unironically loves bad games even had nothing good to say
As a Borderlands sequel, or just as a game? I’ve never actually heard anyone complain about the gameplay. It’s the same gameplay the series is known for but even more refined, with tons of QoL improvements. It is quite literally the best in its class with no real equal.
The only thing I can imagine about your friends is that they didn’t get through much of the gameplay because they were turned off by the horrifically bad writing, cringelord villains, and a sense of humor firmly stuck 15 years in the past, which I would not blame them for.
I actually really enjoyed the Eldritch horror storyline. Though overall it’s a somewhat forgettable story. Still better than Pre-Sequel in my mind. But I’m the odd one out I know
Randy cures cancer instead of properly staffing a project.
He and his friends should go on an elaborate cross country road trip to the 2K offices so they can try to steal an early copy of Borderlands 4.
If they flew him to Texas that’d be pretty cool actually. I was in a pre-alpha game testing group for the first Borderlands game back around 2010 and their offices were pretty cool.
I’m sure, with the success of Borderlands since then, they’ve moved to a bigger and better office, but if it’s possible to get him there to play an early build that would be really cool.
They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released
And then he dies from the awfulness of Borderlands 4 instead of cancer, I’m not sure what’s better.
