Gearbox confirm they’re “interested” in introducing competitive multiplayer to Borderlands 2 – but stress that, as with the first game, co-operative play is the focus.
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.
I think a good competitive multiplayer could definitely help win over new fans to the game, as that is what a lot of people like... but of course the Co-op should ALWAYS remain the main focus.... but it would be nice to have both options done really well... it would give us more choice and expand the user base!
I hope this game has split screen like the first one. I completed the first one ages ago and didn't pick it up again, but I've recently just started seeing a new girl and she likes gaming so I dusted it off and have started a new game with her.... unfortunately there are not too many split screen co-op games this gen.... I didn't give a shit before as my last few birds haven't been into gaming.... but now it is a bit annoying that there are not more split screen games, I really wish Dead Island was split screen... as she also likes shooting Zombies! lol
Are you ready to put out very well maintained modding tools and community support together with a fully customizable game with great server-to-game interaction and not P2P crap?
I really hope they dont add this element, they It will be totally optional whether to go play competitive or not I can really see it pissing off alot of gamers for a few reasons:
1) Character lvls might give certain players an advantage
2) Character equipment might leave some players being outgunned or being unable to get pass player shields
3) If modders are able to make weapons like they did in Borderlands 1 then I can see it just being a rape fest with players taking advantage of the modded gear they have and ruining that part of the game.
Shouldn't it be Gearbox "is" interested? I know the company is made up of many people, but the name is singular.
We dont need multiplayer in every single game release, What we need is bigger better coop modes. Borderlands is the perfect game for it.
