This makes no sense...when has Gearbox made anything remotely bad when it comes to Borderlands? And yes, since everything we've heard of Borderlands 3 seems to be in-line with Borderlands 2...yes the desrve the benefit of the doubt, unless you have heard something negative about it?
And with Bioware, what quality? Bioware has never made a game with good gun gameplay or looting or even wide open multiplayer! Have you played Mass Effect...the combat hasn't aged well.
Bioware had good stories and good dialogue...that's it...people bring up games from them that came out on Xbox that were good lol...and Dragon Age, which has traditional RPG combat. We've seen zero in Bioware's history that they have anything interesting to add as far as actual gameplay and gunplay goes. Not just story mode QTEs.
So just because Gearbox hasn't made a bad bad Borderlands means the shitty games they've made since the last good Borderlands game don't exist?
And honestly, we haven't heard anything about Borderlands 3. We've gotten some rumors about leaks that might be entirely made up. I loved BL1 and 2 and am absolutely hoping BL3 is phenomenal, but right now there are about as many reasons to predict it flops as you had to predict Anthem would (shitty publisher track record; recent history of bad/mediocre games since their last big hit; general trend of looter shooters in recent history).
And yes, I've played through Mass Effect plenty (hint: check my avatar). I'm going back and playing Mass Effect for the 3rd time while waiting for some fixes to Anthem. The gameplay in 1 is a weak point. It got better in 2. It got better in 3. It got better in Andromeda. It got better in Anthem. It is hilarious you bring up BioWare's gameplay chops since that is the one compelling part of Anthem right now. Despite all the bugs, missing QoL, and lack of end-game loop the combat is really fun.
Hmmm...I specifically said the Borderlands series, so I see you are arguing in bad faith.
Again...everything we've heard about B3 seems to be positive from the Borderlands community. What have you heard that is negative? But hey...Captain Toad is a bad game...so Super Mario Odyssey must suck, right?
Want to talk about arguing in bad faith? You say Gearbox has never made a bad Borderlands game so you know BL3 will be good.
BioWare had never made a game like Anthem so you did you know it would be bad months before it launched like you said?
If you're going to ignore Gearbox's other works and only focus on their one successful series as a predictor then I'm not sure how can accurately predict Anthem.
