What do you want from a new Borderlands title, what else do we think Gearbox might announce and how far will your eyes role into the back of your head if the words 'Duke' or 'Nukem' are mentioned?

Personally I just really hope BL3 does chase the lifestyle game train too much, BL with dailies and weeklies for loot instead of just RNG based farming feels kinda wrong to me. One thing I'd be happy to see come over is meaningful character customisation, in the first few BL i felt like they were a few perks each character needed to be viable, but very few felt like they actually played a role in a team composition, even against raid bosses and cosmetics in the series have just been straight up bad for the most part.

I know that this one is by far the longest shot but I really hope the story and writing lean more towards Assault on Dragon Keep, Claptastic Voyage and Tales from the Borderlands, but considering the most the people that wrote those are gone and it not like Telltale is on board.... I'm concerned to say the least about the direction of the story.

1) Duke Nukem, like most IP, can be totally fine if done right. I have no idea if 2019 Gearbox can do that.

2) If Borderlands is a unique update to the old games, I can be in. If it “learns” too much from modern loot shooters, I’ll almost certainly dismiss it and never look back.

@nutter: That's my basic feeling for their borderlands announcement (even if they were to call on some more of the BL1 style they lost over the years).

But Duke just feels lost to me, I played a couple hours of Bulletstorm on the PS4 then tried watching footage of the Duke version and it just feels like he doesn't land anymore. Everything he said was either annoying or felt like it was trying way to hard to shit on his on persona, maybe he'd work if they stuck with one of those but every incarnation of him has always annoyed me and I don't think Gearbox have the writing talent to change that anymore.
