And it's only the first one! Implying more will be forthcoming! Imagine, future looks!
My biggest problem with BL3 was the baddies. I never played BL1 (I know, I’ll get to it). But BL2 with Handsome Jack, you just love to hate him he was such an onion (with layers). And Pre Sequel was forgettable. BL3 was SO much fun the gunplay was fantastic, and some of the side quests were pretty alright. I just hope BL4 is not a cringe fest zoomer humor.
My body is ready
Holding all judgement till reviews. 1+2 were awesome. 3 was a definite low point and then it explored new and exciting depths of the brightest dumpster fire with that abortion of a "movie".
I'm an absolute Borderlands slut so I am pumped for this. I really hope the monetisation scheme is fine and that they added some QoL features I've been wanting since 2012 (multi quest trackers?!) but either way I'll probably play this.
If they take the writing in a more serious direction and tone down the ridiculous amount of legendary loot drops I think this could be amazing
I just wanted to raid vaults for alien tech and be rich. Kinda hoped they would lean more into the vault hunting aspect but they dropped it entirely.
I was actually really excited by the pre-rendered cut scene that wasn't cel-shaded. I thought they were going to ditch the cartoony aesthetic and try moving the franchise in a different direction. But then it switched to in-game footage, and it looks indistinguishable from footage of any previous BL game. Something about the art direction just looks like it's stuck in 2012, and not in a fun way.
I still like the cel shade. It's engrained in the franchise at this point. I was more confused the opening cinematic wasn't cel shaded.
Generally, I like cel shading. I think it's maybe the issue I have is more related to artistic choices; a lot of the designs are very chunky and low-detail. It still looks very distinctly, unmistakably like Borderlands, but it doesn't look like there's been any significant improvement since BL1. If you told me this was a DLC pack for the original 2009 game, I'd probably believe it.
The newer visuals in the cinematic had me thinking that maybe Gearbox is trying to do a soft reboot after how poorly the movie was received.
I can see that. Maybe if I look at a side by side of 1 vs 4 I would see a difference but you're right. It hasn't changed enough to be noticable
That mech-woman seems like a direct copy of Kerrigan from StarCraft, their faction even assimilates others.
why does that imagery at the beginning say to me "none of you asked for this but you're getting it anyways"
