@Endless Torment, after a bit of insight, I am mostly in agreement with what you said about graphics. I think some incremental improvements can be made to the backgrounds to make worlds a bit more expansive, but I don't think things can go beyond that.

I don't know where you got the respawn information from, so I'll have to look into that later. That said, I did look into the new character designs on the 2K info page, and I would say Harlowe had a major improvement. The visor, change in hairstyle, and facial implants definitely made a big difference.

Amon looks much better too; the white skin and more metallic cybernetics give a much tougher look. It's a lot better than his previous design, which looked more like a blank slate.

Rafa, however, looks slightly more generic than before. He looks way too Destiny/Halo-like, and looks too similar to FL4K. They could've kept his previous face, and instead make changes to his hairstyle (put some dye and highlights), remove the nose ring, and give him some implants on the sides of his face for a more cybernetic look.

Vex's design is great the way it is, so I'm glad they didn't change it too much.

All in all, the characters are looking really good. Hopefully the returning cast and NPCs will follow the same standards.

They had a developer panel at Pax.

Both are really fun as Zane can move fast and has two action skills while Moze grenade spam and her mech builds are fun.

Ok. which is better for single player experience?

If you build properly Moze is really really really strong. I was easily tackling raid bosses intended for 4-6 players solo with no issues.

You shouldn't have any real issue with either.

moze's action skill literally kills any enemy without skill investment, and one of her skill trees makes it so you don't have to reload because you regenerate ammo into your mag

IMO Borderlands died with Handsome Jack... You cannot change my mind on this !

I wont. Cuz its true.

I think one of the main reasons Roland was killed off was because he was for the most part a straight man style character and even back then Gearbox wanted the direction to be quirky manic unfunny faggots who never shut up.

That brings up a good point, Roland really "worked" as the straight man to balance out the insanity. Some may consider him boring or lacking expression (I've heard people suggesting he might be on the spectrum slightly) but did help keep things a bit grounded so its not constantly shit not being taken seriously.

Timothy is a fan favorite for a similar reason, given just how not Borderlands he is in terms of backstory. He did the whole "I got student loans to pay" from the Saints Row reboot but it was actually funny since the contrast added to the absurdity instead of being something taken seriously in universe.

B3 seriously lacked that element, I guess Zane was the closest to it but it was hardly enough to off set the "lol random" type of humor.

Most people will say Moze but most people are retarded. Zane all the way.

Is that a female nigger? Borderlands 4 will be woke, and on top of that super boring, I stopped playing Borderlands 3 (cracked version of course) after reaching I think Eden-6, the game did offer absolutely nothing new or interesting. I wonder if they will finally add amour to the items list, like in Diablo, having only weapons is just boring. Anyway you must be a total retard if you spend $80 on AAA slop.

The estrogen is strong with him ... her. Fuck this woke faggot to death. The whole game industry needs to get burned down to the ground, you are pathetic if you support this. Just play Borderlands 1&2 and you already know how Borderlands 4 will be.

For me, the maps in BL3 were just too big with nothing in them except some scattered collectibles. Got old quick. And now they're making them bigger, but you can glide over all the empty bullshit?

 

[Edgeworth]

That "apology" is on par with the writing in BL3.

Imagine blaming your poor wording choices and an entire "misunderstanding" on ONE guy who said "hey if this game is 80 bucks it's gonna fail". ONE GUY, Bitchford? "Oh I was just responding to that one guy who I legitimately thought was very worried and looking out for us" shut the fuck up, faggot.

You aren't slick, you aren't a good writer, and no one who has any braincells actually buys this. You know why BL3 sucked, to the point where you had to release a cut scene between Ava and Lilith that actually (albeit poorly) addressed some of the issues people had with both characters and the story progression but God forbid we actually get that when we could hear Typhon DeLeon talking extensively about his stupid fucking turd-farming backstory.

Can't include important beats about what made important characters do what, can't make the obvious choice to turn Troy into the bad guy because he's slightly more compelling than Tyreen, can't have more missions with fan favourite characters Brick, Mordecai and Tina because we need to include fetch quests to get Lorelei his COFFEE because GET IT he LOVES COFFEE and if he doesn't get his COFFEE then he'll LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE.

Dumb side quests exist throughout the series, of course, but at least the maps in the other games were more condensed. "B-but the gameplay is fun" yeah no shit, it's almost like it came out seven years after the Pre-Sequel, which was already heading in the right direction in terms of motion and movement.

I went off on a couple of tangents. Sorry. Guess my frustration at how the games have devolved and that I'm not excited for them anymore means I'm not a "real fan" despite my being on board since the first game, drawing tons of fanart, participating in the (super shitty) fandom and even getting a couple of goddamn tattoos. Which I don't regret.

Some of the games are still good, nothing Bitchford says can ruin that but boy are you shooting yourself in your faggoty foot by saying something like that then trying to backtrack without actually offering any remorse and blaming it on one fucking guy.

They were bad, but nowhere near as painful as The Secret Armory of General Knox only having ONE fucking fast travel point, in the middle of the map.

Some missions in that DLC ended up being 40 minutes of driving, using the intensely awful vehicle controls of the first game, and maybe 5 minutes of firefights. Having to go from one end of that map to start a mission, then go right back to the other end to actually do what you were supposed to be doing was the worst.
