Wow, you still have to pick up money and bullets manually from containers after opening them. I don't understand why it has to be like that. Money and loot from the ground gets picked up automatically!

It sounds like these two guys have been recorded separately.

Im ready for some more Borderlands but im not too sure about this. I dont mind it being the same core game as Borderlands 2 but the environment being the moon i dont see how much diversity they can fit in. Also its not the main/same studio as the others (i think) so idk about that. The Ice and Laser weapons look neat though.

Yeah, looks like Borderlands alright. I guess I'm just not the target audience for these games.

For me these games are like an MMO, addictive as hell.

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

i see this as a kind of expansion pack and im still pretty psyched.

borderlands seems to garner a lot of negativity and sighing from people which im guessing has to do with the humor stuff... but the gameplay is fast paced and great and builds can be very creative.

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...

"During the development of the game, it just so happened that the moon kind of turned into... Australia."

Interest rising.

Hey, maybe if the humour doesn't all come from Reddit this time at least the writing won't make me want to pull my teeth out.

Seriously though, they would have to change so much about the Borderlands formula to make me interested in this game. Even little changes like having more than 1 goddamn active skill. 99% passives are so dull, and doesn't do enough to differentiate the classes

Also, a huge problem with Borderlands already is that there isn't enough environment variety. 2 was an improvement on 1, but all taking place on one small, rocky moon? I dunno

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.

Getting pretty tired of sequels that reuse tons and tons of stuff from the previous game in the series. I understand games cost a lot of money to make, but.....man. Come on. At least create a new HUD...

Are they going to do the thing where they sell you a season pass, then sell new content that isn't included in the season pass, and then later on add it all including the preorder bonuses in a GOTY edition for a fraction of what you paid?

If this is priced at $40 at launch I'd actually pick this up.
