Nah, it's okay to doubt them, just remember every once in a while some real ones come from there so it's not all or nothing, it's just like "oh, this might be true, let's see how it pans out".

"Mayhem is coming" Upcoming Borderlands game teaser

Please don't mess this up, please please please please please.
I really enjoyed BL1+2, but never got too deep into the Presequel (never even got far enough to unlock all 4 weapon slots which was annoying). It was too much like 2 which I had already played for probably close to 200 hours.
If more of those leaks end up being true (multiple ability powers per character instead of just 1 being a big one) then I'll probably be more than satisfied with the game.
I wouldn't even mind if it added a FEW GaaS features, like new quests or challenges being added at regular intervals, and maybe even add in premium skins (still earnable in game) since I never buy them and they can help subsidize that ongoing support stuff that I would enjoy.
Not a single loot shooter has interested me nearly as much as Borderlands 1 and 2 last gen.

There's a
Claptrap in the trailer, so there will be some form of him in there.
BL2 just had a 1GB update on Steam... Hmm...
Great tease. I can't wait to see the panel tomorrow.

You're missing my point. The idea that GaaS can be applied to so many completely different games dilutes it to a point where its not even worth using. Skyrim and Division 2 are both GaaS titles with almost nothing in common, telling someone who knows about neither game that its a GaaS title tells them what exactly? Its a game thats gonna have DLC down the road. Ok.
Then what do you do for replayability? Beat the game again? Pass. Best part of BL2 was the post game DLC and end game content hands down. That's the core of loot games.
Gonna just put it out there, If its on steam I'll buy it day 1 if not I will buy something else.
I bet they are gonna use Steam in some way to advertise for Borderlands 3 despite it being 1 year timed exclusive on EGS. Why? Because EGS doesn't have anything to help devs and pubs advertise their games other than the store front page, which I assume is controlled by Epic.
This is a very odd take considering the genre and the inspiration Borderlands draws from. I can understand concerns about the types of end game activities available, especially if it tries to mimic something like Destiny 2 1:1, but lets be real here. These types of games need endgame because otherwise building a character would be completely pointless. There needs to be additional, compelling hooks at the end. Stuff like max level equipment that compliments your build and additional content to find said gear in that keeps players engaged.
I knew the guy left but it still needs humor to feel right. Borderlands 1 was so bland stylistically. It was really muted compared to 2. I'm expecting a big stepback this time around.
Hype is really strong with this one!!
Hopefully is a nice DLC to ease the wait.
Well, hot damn it's actually happening.
I'm going to be excited now and disappointed later when it's probably an epic store timed exclusive.

Yeah, it's Lillith, this video does a good job of going into detail.
Also goes into detail regarding a specific Shift Code, some braille and Morse Code haha
Edit: Apparently the Shift Code works, gives a skin and 5 keys
People are literally telling you the difference. Skyrim and The Division 2 have everything in common, except that The Division is online only and has a more robust MTX market unlike Skyrim's hodgepodge of buying options.

Also its funny you mention grinding the same stuff over and over when that was literally what you were doing in Borderlands 1 with the armory glitch since that place made everything else irrelevant.
Same thing with BL2. There wasnt anything to do except grind bosses. Them having actual actual endgame content that makes the gear you grinded actually worth something like a Diablo Rift equivalent would make the game so much more better

I assume he had early access to the video, otherwise how on earth did that video get made so fast.
Does anyone know if it is going to be local co-op split screen?! PLEASE BE LOCAL CO-OP SPLIT SCREEN!
People are disagreeing with the definition, your word is not absolute. See this thread anfd the one I created recently.
Secret "Mask Teaser" SHiFT code: C35TB-WS6ST-TXBRK-TTTJT-JJH6H
Tested on Xbox One. Is legit. You get Salvador's Community Day skin and 5 Golden Keys! As the description says more codes are out there/coming soon. I need that Gaige skin :D

Constantly adding new content to the game in order to keep players engaged and make additional revenue post-launch.
GaaS. Skyrim of today is not the Skyrim of 2011.
Quite frankly, this all comes down to people villifying a term for something that has existed for a long time now. A few games fuck it up with their attempt and they think it's the worst thing in the world.
Skyrim and Division 2 have almost nothing in common, other than loot and dlc. Thats absurd.
From the GaaS thread:
This is why the term doesn't fit to me.
Quick question:
Only played Tales from the Borderlands so far, and am now eyeing the Handsome Collection since it's on sale on PSN.
Is the original Borderlands relevant for knowing what's going on in 3 or is it enough when I play the Handsome collection as well as tales?

Both games didn't add content, skills, new archetypes and weaponry to the game? Not just a map pack?
The only games that just add map packs are multiplayer games.
You're basically saying every single player game ever is GaaS.
And no, Skyrim and Division have next to nothing in common, please stop being ridiculous.
They're not interested in discussing, they came in right away with "my word is final, your'e wrong!".
If I remember correctly... apart from the finding-the-vault aspect, Borderlands 2 is when the main 'story' kicked in.
The first is still a lovely game and, if the rumours are true, could be getting an updated release on current consoles too (possibly also announced tomorrow).
Well, there is nothing that is keeping those two concepts at odds - in fact, you want both the "critical" progression path to be smooth, interesting, and satisfying, while also having quite a lot of meat to dig into once you're sufficiently powered up. Vanilla Destiny 2, for example, had the former, but not the latter, and it proved to be a serious problem. Obviously Borderlands isn't a shared world game, and thus its fundamental construction is going to be different, but the point is that there is no harm in having both axes of progression be well accommodated. That is, in fact, the preference.
It's about damn time
but I can't wait to be moderately annoyed when they announce the PC version as an one year Epic Store exclusive.
