Borderlands (1, 2, 3, The Pre-Sequel, TftB)

[Hermiöne Granger]

In the latest video on the Borderlands channel, Lin Joyce talks about how they chooses vault hunter pitches. Its no strange that the vault hunter design in Borderlands4 is not looking good. These woke activists/feminists with colored hair, nose ring, shitty tattoos allover will never do anything good, and should all be fired from the game industry.

The full video

This is the same person behind the disastrous failure of Homeworld 3

 

[Niggerphobe]

I like how the bounty dlc felt like it was directed by Wes Anderson

 

[Exixi]

This is the same person behind the disastrous failure of Homeworld 3

Lin Joyce was also credited as a writer on both Borderlands 3 and Wonderlands, and as the lead writer of the shitshow that was New Tales. Her Bluesky used to be a little bit funny- I found it before when I was making this post about what Burch had been up to- but I think she cleaned it up a bit at some point between then and now. Shame on me for not archiving, but I thought she'd be out the door after consistently failing so badly.

Also, the game isn't included in the $150 Borderlands 4 Collector's Edition.

 

[Samuel Fuller]

Same writers as Troony Tina's Faggotrylands?


Ugh.

None of that shit looks worthwhile. Even the statue looks crap.

Might just be me but I'm also sick of the SHiT codes. None of what's been advertised even remotely looks appealing.

 

[Noxe]

It's a shame I can't really play borderlands 2 now that they fucked everything up with the EULA.

Might just be me but I'm also sick of the SHiT codes. None of what's been advertised even remotely looks appealing.

Wouldn't mind the codes if they were for worth while things like perfect part guns, mission exclusive weapons, or event skins/heads,

New trailer:

Huge info dump from leddit:

Spoiler

[GAME SCOPE]​

The Playable Environment area will be Larger than BL2+BL3 COMBINED (Randy)

4x more 3D polygons in weapon models compared to BL3

[STORY]​

NPCs reference your specific Vault Hunter character during dialogue. They also use your name and context. (kinda like the Pre-Sequel)

Vault Hunters appear during cutscenes, Skins persist in real-time, it's not pre-rendered.

Randy emphasises - NO EARTH POLITICS in Borderlands 4

The Writing team revised all story and side-missions multiple times for pacing, continuity and story flow.

Side quests and main quests will play out more connected, so it won't feel like 20 different employees worked on each quest with no relation to one another whatsoever.

There will be more Total dialogue in Borderlands 4 than in older games, but it's more spaced and less spammy "always-in-background" type.

The Timekeeper repeatedly watches you throughout the game, himself & through his subordinates, similar to Handsome Jack.

RIP VR-ON1CA (Claptrap's Build-a-GF robot from BL3) - Not gonna spoil the mission

At some point in the story, the ELPIS Moon appears shattered and torn apart, would it affect visiting Elpis?
WE can fast-travel-spawn RIGHT NEXT to your Coop buddies now.

[MISSIONS & WORLD ACTIVITIES]​

Bounty Missions return

Known World Events:

Fortress, Airdrop, Colosseum, Meteor, Target Practice

Known Activities:

Order Silos, Safehouse, Ancient Crawler, Abandoned Auger Mine, Order Bunker, Ripper Drill Site

Rifts are random world events where defeated bosses return (with their dedicated drops):

They have higher loot drop rates than usual.

Non-boss enemies in rifts don’t have dedicated drop tables

Completing a rift rewards you with a loot box type that has the chance for legendary loot drop.

New “Primordial Vaults” = Floating rock arenas + Side dungeons, waves of enemies leading to a boss fight, one of the bosses is called "Primordial Guardian Inceptus" - they banned footage of it.

There are Towers with Console Panels that require you to collect 3 orbs; they reward you with "Evocarium", which plays lore dialogue from Nyriad, and grants 15 SDU points.

Vault fragments can be found in unguarded hidden locations, not just mission-based

There will probably be 46 vault symbols to find

3 More Known Collectables are "Bolts", "Marcus Bobbleheads" and "Claptrap Care Packages"

[GAMEPLAY MECHANICS]​

Armour chuncks can fall off defeated armored enemies in mid-fight, collecting them gives you an extra "breakable" armour-type hp layer, in addition to the rechargeable shield and health bar.

Health vials are no longer found in chests or containers, only dropped by enemies.

The infinite vertical melee exploit is fixed in this game.

Levelling up grants a temporary power boost & hp refill.
Respawns after dying still costs 7% of your total Money Count. ("User Existance Failure" LOL)

[GUNPLAY]​

Handling stats are gone from guns.

Ordinance cannot be used in Fight For Your Life.

Some heavy weapons feature HP/armour percentages as a holographic HUD overlay

Random (varied pool), goofy gun reload animations return.

Ordinance = either Nades, Throwing Knife, or Rocket Launchers, Heavy Guns, Arm Rockets - only one type per load-out - Refills by cooldown, not expensive/rare ammo.

Some licensed parts are locked behind story progression and level cap, and won't drop below a certain level or early in the story, based on the manufacturer too.

Some, if not all licensed parts are fixed in nature (ex: sticky bullets = always a Torgue mag)

Tediore grenades can be detonated manually (C4 style)

Vladof manufactures SMGs now.

Tediore makes Assault Rifles now.

[MOVEMENT]​

Seems like we will have Surface-only swimming, no diving unless it's a demo-only thing

Shown during game-play: if you fall deep into the water in FFYL = instant death - unless it's a bug.

The grapple-out-of-water mechanic is encouraged by the game - "back to surface points" are found next to water bodies.

Grapple has multiple uses - can pull armour from certain bosses (for critical hits), activate levers / retractable platforms, uncover blocked paths and move fixed mission objects.

Grapple resets double jump, dash, and hover = allows super fast chaining and movement.

We will be able to upgrade Hover-Time, Dash Distance and Cool-down.

[GAME SYSTEMS]​

A Specialisation Level system showed up during gameplay, if it's like Borderlands 1 - weapon-type and manufacturer-type XP unlocks combat perks - Screenshot.

[REPLAYABILITY]​

Moxxi’s Big Encore Machine allows instant boss re-spawns (costs $)

Save+Quit does NOT reset bosses.

Mission Replays = Free boss re-runs at the cost of doing a whole mission (unless Twitter lies)

[ENEMIES]​

Exploding locked toilets can release badass enemies

Threshers confirmed to return (or it's a one-time boss - unlikely)

[MODIFIERS]​

Over 20 enemy modifiers were shown

Healthy: Enemies have double or triple HP bars

Single Enemies can have multiple modifiers

[GAME OPTIMIZATION]​

Load into game speed much improved: 9 seconds

The game had difficulty maintaining 60 FPS in hands-on builds

[QUALITY OF LIFE]​

You can set a default safe zone to spawn at after loading the game

Loot Junk-marking-pickup-for-future-sell has a distinct bind

"Sell all Junk items" prompts you before selling junk-tagged equipped gear

Very likely for multiple Golden-key chests to appear across regions, with map icons

[VEHICLES]​

Jumping off vehicles = instant Digistruct that keeps player momentum

Can jump with the vehicle (Hey Pre-Sequel)

Vehicles can honk lol

No multi-seat vehicles

Vehicle weapon customisation confirmed (not shown in demo)

Digirunner spawning is LOCKED in scripted areas, like events and missions Screenshot

[VENDING MACHINES]​

Item of the Day is physically previewed on the outside of a machine

Ammo machines only offer full refills from outside (no individual bullet type buy menu)

Ammo refill is also available at Gun Vendors

Gun vending machines have larger catalogues than older games

Legendary items can appear in shops, but supposedly very rare

Maurice’s Black Market vending machine is confirmed back

[REWARDS & LOOT]​

Missions now reward loot crates, which offer random rewards within the promised quality range

You can hoard loot crate rewards

Loot crates reward scaling-to-your-level loot upon opening.

Known Legendaries:

Huskey Friend
Complex root
Shield - Fleeting (Extra Medium)

[SKILL TREES]​

Total Points Invested in Skill Tree Counter added (not just remaining points)

A new button to Max-level a perk with one press

[HUD OPTIONS]​

The Compass Bar is expected to critically improve in the final build (according to devs)

The option to choose between centred/lowered crosshairs is available

New Reload timer shows under ammo, easier-to-follow speed upgrades.

Skins & customisation changes are accessible directly from the menu (no Quick Change station)

[SETTINGS]​

Frame Generation Graphic option supported (AI-generated interpolated frames - seems to cause latency issues)

Damage numbers above enemies can be toggled in settings

A Setting option to toggle-cancel Dashing is available

[COOL DETAILS]​

Ice Nade explosions and blood pools cause very cool reflective floor effect

Bullet impacts make space-reactive bouncing sparks

Vault Hunters can react with cheers during vehicle jumps or boosts

There is a functional Soccer mini-game area - Screenshot

[STATIONS]​

New: Firmware Transfer Station

[OTHER]​

Borderlands 4 will be available on GeForce NOW at launch for cloud streaming

[PROBABLY BAD STUFF]​

No Photo Mode in Demo

Only two body models available at launch for customization

Echo 4 Navigation is currently very buggy - it instructs players to go through walls/floors 80% of the time

Respawn time after dying is ~22 seconds holy f**k

Bosses will feature invincibility phases again
EDIT: Info by Winter_Ad_2618 & K6: Only First-time Story bosses will feature invincibility phases. World bosses, re-occuring boss spawns and Moxxi's Big Encore farming won't.

Except for rampant faggotry and TDS?

 

[General Emílio Médici]

I got a ad for Borderlands 4 on youtube.

Honestly this is a horrible sign for the game. The only games I can think of that have had ads show up on my youtube account were:

-Mass Effect Andromeda (shitshow that pretty much killed any chance the series had to continue/evolve after 3, plus absolute baffling engine change kneecapping the entire thing making absolute meme tier character models that were ugly as sin. Female Turians deserved better)

-Genshit (and similar Gacha)

-CoD (normie slop)

-CyberPunk 2077 (Overhyped to shit, came out broken)

-Anthem (remember THAT gem?)

Having your game advertise on YT ads seems to be a sign of a desperate marketing team more than anything.

>Randy emphasises - NO EARTH POLITICS in Borderlands 4

There was very little if any irl political commentary in Borderlands 3. Borderlands 3 didn't suck ass because of politics it sucked ass because of this.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

Been playing Boderlands 3. I notice there is alot of female psychos in the game. Not that it matters. I love killing women in video games.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Cee-Lo Green lookin-ass villain.
Otherwise, no hype. It's the same game as BL3, and at this point I have side buzzcut fatigue, holy FUCKING shit.

play Dishonored 2 desu, it's the best burning women alive simulator

 

[Blissed]

I love the BL series because it's really the only good gun looter out there. That being said, I have zero faith in this.

At a certain point, don't even give me a story, just let me loose and shoot things.

 

[Jace on ice]

At a certain point, don't even give me a story, just let me loose and shoot things.

That's basically what Borderlands 1 was. Even the Wikipedia page for that game struggles to come up with a plot summary because there really isn't one.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

So i met this character called Lorelei and one of her lines was her screaming "SUCK MY DICK!". Is she(he) a tranny?

 

[Love Is Blue]

not that I know of. but I just checked the wiki and it says she's a pooner now?? don't know and I really don't care

 

[Jace on ice]

New Gearbox interview with Hardcore gamer.

HCG "What are some of the lessons you learned from Borderlands 3 and how do you plan to adjust the story and gameplay moving forward?

Gearbox " We wanted to go back to a more grounded tone and create a villain who was truly cruel and heinous at times, humor isn't completely gone but it's much better balanced than BL3."

I'm kind of shocked they actually acknowledged how shitty the Calypsos were.

 

[Niggerphobe]

So i met this character called Lorelei and one of her lines was her screaming "SUCK MY DICK!". Is she(he) a tranny?

Until the new tales came she wasn’t,
In the new tales they turned her into a pooner just because of one audio log

The voice actor is.
