thats kinda the point though. its more rpg , than shooter. if destiny is your refrence point it wont be for you.
It's kinda obvious
We talking about bl1? Because bl2 is better than nearly all other looter shooters right now lmao
JUST LOOK AT HOW SLICK MY BOY LOOKS
How is that not the point? If your combat is going to be shooting, make the shooting feel good. I don't understand the appeal of a game where 90% of your time is spent shooting, and the shooting feels like shit.
If that's how you feel.
The gunplay was always just that, OK. And that was enough, especially 10 years ago. Hopefully the gunplay is significantly improved this time around, but with the same wild upgrades and secondary effects that made Borderlands feel unique. Also I hope they've leaned into the sci-fi setting more, so its not just 1 billion slug throwers.
That's why I was kind of hoping they would have shown some gameplay.
I mean, everything else (besides shooting) other games do is significantly worse than what bl2 did years ago. Theres a reason games like destiny 1 and 2 got blasted on release
Of all the things to complain about in a Borderlands game you complain about the writing? lol
thats the thing though in rpgs its about getting stronger. if they die in 3 hits almost regardless of gun, why bother trying to go for the better gun? if I wanted a pure shooter, there are manny better games than even destiny. I want the rpg side of the coin, thats why I like boarderlands 2, but cant get in to destiny ect.
where as I played it when it came to PS4 so it had been awhile since i had played a borderlands game so it was new and more of what i loved.
Ya'll keep screenshotting cutscenes.Normally, I don't find it too hard to pick a player character in Borderlands, but man, they all look amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing some more character specific gameplay.
I'm also really pleased Gearbox hasn't deviated too far from the other games in terms of art direction. For example, KH3 is an absolutely beautiful game, but it's a huge stylistic change up for the previous games, and for me personally, it's became a lot more generic in terms of art direction in the process. (It was amazing how close the 3D Pixar and Disney characters looked to to their original film counterparts, though!) DMC5 was also a huge change up in art direction from DMC4, and it went from being heavily stylized to hyper realistic, but DMC5 at least has a really distinct blue-ish/purple color palette that is present in a lot of the environments and the advertising for the game.
Yeah, this.
Just using this screengrab, Rhys and Zero are far more polished and detailed than their previous character models.
I'm sure we just need some more direct screens released by Gearbox to assuage the concerns. But of gameplay, of course.Normally, I don't find it too hard to pick a player character in Borderlands, but man, they all look amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing some more character specific gameplay.

Well said. Yeah these people don't seem to understand the difference and it's kind of annoying. I've been waiting years for this announcement and to already hear people trying to tear the game down is just ridiculous to me.
They didn't even need to release gameplay at this event. Just, show the trailer, then sneak some gameplay footage onto the YouTube channel as well. Easy.
I think that's an unfortunate industry trend as things have gotten more towards impressive trailer material as opposed to impressive mechanics. Games used to be far more ambitious "back in my day" (and filled with jank).
They're literally going to show us more in a week. I would bet skags to skrillex that we see gameplay then.
