“Girlfriend Mode”: Keeping the Argument Civil

Writes Michael Ridgaway: "I’m not saying there aren’t issues with sexism in the gaming community. There definitely are, and they deserve serious attention, and everyone who can engage in respectful discourse should be invited to weigh in with their opinion. This, however, is not one of those issues. Call the guy out for the “suck at first-person shooters” comment, but try to see the use of the phrase “girlfriend mode” for what it is: something that a guy used to describe the part of the game that can be shared with others instead of excluding them."

Will people just let it go? I thought we were over this the last 10 articles...

My girlfriend should have been a game tester because she does things that the programmers never thought anybody would do.

"Sweetie why are you going backwards? No you're not suppose to do that. How did you get stuck in there?" No that's the bad guys, why are you shooting the good guys...yeah but when I do it its on purpose."

Being offended by something does not license you to be the architect and police officer of all human attitude, thought, and speech. It is not a license to shame, bully, threaten, and intimidate people you don't even know because they said something that you happen to not approve of. It doesn't. Sometimes when you are offended it is not someone else's problem. This is one of those times.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne655d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000655d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan654d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius654d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake655d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot655d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B654d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake655d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B654d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack654d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal654d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack654d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
