The week's top-selling games at retail ranked by unit sales
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
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."
Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse
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.
I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.
well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain
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).
it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game
but we'll see soon
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.
I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
The Nintendo 3DS entertainment system has done quite well for the week ending September 22nd. Clocking in at #1 on the worldwide hardware charts by a significant margin. I am glad that the entire world is enjoying the magic of the Nintendo product line just as I am. And things only seem to be getting better as time goes along.
On the software side of things. When worldwide numbers are released, one may be hard pressed to find handheld software present within the top 10. But New Super Mario Bros 2 has been the difference maker in that category. 9 entire weeks into its lifespan, NSMB2 remains the only handheld title remaining in the top 10. Outlasting offerings from Nintendo 3DS entertainment system competitors, newly released and older offerings. Also showing the staying power of the Super Mario franchise, while at the same time strengthening the Nintendo brand name.
After a controversial start, it seems that the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system is here to stay. While maintaining a steady flow of AAA quality exclusive offerings, and at the same time significantly outpacing other competing handheld devices and their titles. Doing its part in showing doubters that Nintendo still has a place in the overly competitive handheld on the go market. A little bit of positive attitude and strategic positioning can go a long way.
Rated E For Everyone
Congratulations to Randy Pitchford and Gearbox for scoring another hit.
