Seems a lot like an expansion pack. I'll be down if the writing is better and it's not full price.

The gravity thing is cool, but more Borderlands is more Borderlands.

After Borderlands 2 I'm not sure I want another Borderlands.

This just looks like another bland dlc with gimmicks that barely make the still quite dull and tedious gameplay only slightly less so.

While I'd love to support my countries developers urgh this just seems like such a waste of good aussie talent and I really don't feel like supporting Gearbox anymore; a company who on multiple occasions now has abused its right to sell games.

Are these guys super depressed or did their pets die recently or something? Holy shit, had to turn it off, couldn't stand it.

The game looks like a chore, the way they played it makes it look like Gone Home, not Borderlands, and the oxygen mechanic sounds pretty goddamn stupid. But mainly, if people with emotions had demoed this, it would probably had looked better.

Getting a distinct 'because this time, it's different' feel from this game. Sure it will be fairly fun as BL tends to be, but I would not touch this if it's more than $40 at launch.

More Borderlands. Borderlands is fun. Sure, I'm on board. I don't want them to change Borderlands drastically. You either like it or you don't. Give me more guns and enemies to kill and we cool.

The oxygen system sounds really dumb.

I'm a bit baffled this isn't on the new gen consoles. I would be on the fence, but this makes the decision for me.

@vuud: I think it's supposed to be a joke. It's Borderlands.

This doesn't look bad or anything, but it does look like it could have just been an expansion pack for BL2. It even has the exact same HUD as the previous game.

60 dollar DLC? ooooh so many fuck you's Gearbox.

My god they are really just milking this series hard aren't they. Must be because the Borderlands fans are the only ones still standing by Gearbox.

I am always up for more of these games. You could say I'm on Bord[erlands] with this.

There's no such thing as a pre-sequel, this is a midquel. But I'll chalk that up to marketing.

That's... that's the point. It's a joke.

There's already hundreds if not thousands of hours of content in BL2. Without the A-team working on this, I don't really care. Wake me up when BL3 is announced.

I like Borderlands except for it's skill tree and the one ability. I find them kind of bland and weird. But they get kudos for doing something different. I just think they should change it up soon.

Really wish this was being put out on new consoles. I like the whole low gravity vibe.

This looks sooooo similiar to the previous games, down to the identical HUD. I'm a fan of the franchise, but I don't know about this one...

@corruptedevil said:

That's literally the same HUD as 2, what the FUCK Gearbox. I like the gameplay in these games but man going up against Destiny did not give them any pressure to innovate.

This isn't Borderlands 3 nor is it intended to be. It's more akin to being fanservice like Halo 3: ODST was to vanilla Halo 3.

It's not even being released on X1/PS4 and it's not going to be the standard $60 retail price, so this really isn't competing with any other game such as Destiny.

@rotnac: Except ODST was completely different from any other game in the series, graphically (super dark, most of the game is in the dead of night and the HUD is different) and the gameplay loop because of how vulnerable you are. I don't see the air thing changing the actual fundamentals of the game that much / at all. I realize that a HUD change isn't major but it does a lot to make it feel like a new game.
