My Truxicai would like a word with you.

Outside of loot, they were the only real parts of the game.

The guns, loot mechanics, level design, the Borderlands universe and the art design were my favorite things. I also loved the MMO quest style mission structure.
For me the shooting was decent and fun but it came after those things. For me melee was not great on a gamepad. And at the very end of my list was driving. I thought driving in Borderlands was pretty bad.
Saying all of that Borderlands 2 is my favorite game ever. I think Gearbox has so much talent.
Right now I want to love Battleborn. I may even buy it just to support Gearbox. But as it is I donāt know why I would play it. What is it that is going to keep me coming back?
If I had a good group of people that were using mics it would be great but nobody does. Borderlands works for me because I donāt have to rely on others to make it a great game.
[quote=āvindo310, post:154, topic:1282963ā]What is it that is going to keep me coming back?[/quote]Outside of Borderlands (and TF2), no game really kept me coming backā¦ Iād replay them because they were all there was to play (not that they werenāt fun), but the only real option was replaying the story campaign. BL2 sort of ruined that for me with its endless replayability. I do not anticipate another game that will steal this crown for me with the possible exception of BL3 (and how awesome would a game thatās more fun than BL2 be)?
My point is, I donāt know of any other game that will keep me coming back the way BL2 does, and weāll see if Battleborn can pull this off. If not, and itās just fun for a single-player romp through the campaign a couple of times, thatās fine: thatās been the first-person shooter standard basically forever until BL2 āruinedā it. If the multiplayer is somehow more fun than TF2, Iāll be pleasantly surprised.
It honestly comes down to a lot of different things. People who have played the Borderlands series are expecting borderlands and donāt want anything different because they donāt want change of their routine of going to Gearbox for BL. I also believe that itās Blind Leading The Blind, MOBAās get a lot of hate from people and I hate to say it but people are just jumping on the hate MOBAs bandwagon, which is unfortunate but you can compare it to people hating Nickleback, at this point you donāt know why you hate them but you do, bandwagon. Honestly Gearbox has created this charming and beautiful experience for us, they have brought the funny and beautiful world from Borderlands and have mashed it with a MOBA with their own twist. No a MOBA isnāt original but the gearbox version is a fresh new idea that people just I feel are afraid of. I wouldnāt be worried of the blind hate because in the end the true fans and even new fans will come together to fight the evils of the Galaxy. In the end Battleborn is AWESOME AND A BADASS EXPERIENCE. The haters just canāt handle it. The badass breaks through their minds and it becomes to much Badassery for them to handle. (Iām pained to say a lot of haters havenāt even played the beta, some have so they can have an opinion that matters)

People donāt realize that they can play both games. They act like if itās not perfect, itās trash. I already bought Overwatch and will buy Battleborn once EA refunds me some moneyā¦

Brand spanking new player here. I just got into the beta but was invited not through pre-order. Not sure how that works. I have to say, it is growing on me.
If I could, Iād give you two likes, Pride. I joined the CTT because I enjoy the BL franchise and wanted to see what GBX was up to next. Iām glad I did because now I canāt wait until I can get the game into my hot little hands. Iām also planning on getting the SP sometime after launch.
I will be getting the SP on launch day, Gearbox has put so much into this game that Iām excited for the SP. canāt beat the SP price either

I love this game but my eyes are still bleeding from yesterdayās session with Phoebe, so I canāt play it anymore. Typical 2K game.
I disagree I enjoyed the Combat of Borderlands very much along with the Comedy that followed. The storyline was probably the best part of Borderlands.
I never played Borderlands (and I probably never will) So I donāt care (one way or the other) if GBX makes another. With that said, Iām glad theyāre making Battleborn so I can experienceāin some waysāthe cool sensibilities that existed in that game. Also, haters gona hate, doomsayers gona doomsay, battleborn players are gona whoop that ass.

I am a huge Borderlands fan. I wanted Borderlands 3. But, Battleborn is a different, but the same game. Battleborn is a Borderlands multiplayer. And they did it well. I have not seen a game were you could be losing badly, then all of a sudden you win the game. Great balancing in my opinion, right off the bat.

I am a Evolve player I know that feeling when a good game gets negative reception!
I really hope evolve did well enough for a sequel, the game is really good but does have issues and I would love to see how good a second one could be.

I think if people anticipating Borderlands 3ālike meāwould play the beta, theyād get the same kick out of it, too. The writing and characters are both in the same vein. Yeah, itās not open world, but I canāt help thinking that it would fit just fine in the Borderlands universe (Iād love for the Vault Hunters show up as playable characters in this game, and for some of these characters show up as Vault Hunters in BL3).
