Should be the entirety of every review.
"Gearbox told us it isn't done."
If this logic you came up is correct, then Game Informer wouldn't have gotten a review code.
If they wanted to focus on outlets they liked, they just would have given it to influencers who play B2 on repeat.
You and I are both outliers. I'm very much like you in that behavior. But! People like us are no longer statistically significant when looking at correlations between traditional reviews and sales figures. Modern digital tech has rendered those correlations insignificant.
Feels bad man. But the analytics don't lie (not often, anyway). 💀
It's either in really really bad shape, or their working on future content which is currently on their make pre-release branch..
Many of these controversies are just 'controversies' on this forum. The larger public doesn't know and or care.
But yeah, I see what you're saying though. (as a person who posts here)
They may not be able to do even that right at this point
Well, my Peter-Tingle* has just went off and I am now in a serious holding pattern for this game, to the point where I may not pick it up until next year.
I was already on the fence about it, but kept my pre-order. Now I'm going to outright cancel it: between this and Amazon not giving me release day shipping (they are holding fast to the 17th as the ship date) I can spend my time elsewhere.
I was going to play for 2 1/2 weeks until Shadowkeep and now...I'm going to just be playing Shadowkeep.

Truly and honestly, I have no idea why Ars didn't get BL3 code ahead of launch, and as other folks have made clear, outlets' previous Gearbox coverage doesn't always determine whether they get to play or not. But we at Ars had to talk about SOMETHING BL3-related today, so:
This is ironic considering the "peacock parties" Randy has with little boys.
It does feel like somewhat of an odd situation. We also didn't receive anything, for what that's worth (UK).
Yeah it seems to be fine from all accounts. Maybe not ground breaking, but still very good. So it doesn't make sense why this strange review setup.
Yeah it's always been like this for me as well. The agency used for this basically said no go until this week. Waiting for an update.
I was told security as well for not getting one. Such is life though. Then again 2k isn't the only one to have said that in the past nor are they the only one to have done account creation on a platform for reviewers thats for sure. Most use Steam branches but accounts that are trackable(I assume thats why its done) have been done on Steam as well.
Disagree with this.
Source: Myself, all of my friends, most casuals I've spoken to at any length about games pay attention to review scores and base purchasing decisions, to some extent on how critics receive games.
Some exceptions I'm sure are the mega franchises that some people buy no matter what (Madden, FIFA, COD) but reviews definitely still matter.
What's so weird about this is that everything they've shown has been excellent and well received by fans of the franchise. They've shown hours of gameplay and not been shy at all about letting people play it.
Unless there's some weird smoke and mirrors bullshit going on here I can't fathom why they think this crap is helping them. Reviews and Metascores don't carry the same weight they used to, it's all about community word of mouth these days.

smh...no victims here at all.
Really sounds quite odd, the launch for this might be more interesting than we had anticipated even if many don't plan to buy the game.
So you don't know anything about the case, you're just spouting the worst thing you heard about to smear Pitchford. Cool cool.
Absolutely, so there's no reason to include stuff with no corroboration that was included in the legal complaint as literal hearsay in an attempt to further character assassinate him. His character is already dead.
He's so eager to defend him that he didn't even let me finish my post. Here:
EDIT: Oh okay, moving goal posts now. I'm through here. Blind brand loyalty knows no bounds.

If you guys want to discuss Randy's character, please create your own thread. Otherwise, lets keep the discussion on topic with the Borderland's review situation, which is not related to Randy's lawsuit.
Okay, sure. Gearbox and Randy know this is just another Borderlands The Pre-Sequel and want to hide that fact as long as possible until fans gets their hands on it.
Boy you sure do pull a lot of shit out of your arse, don't you?
