[Poll] Will you buy wonderlands?

Need to see if it crashes XBox consoles first. That got old REALLY quick. The way is was/wasn’t handled left a nasty taste in my mouth for anything Gearbox in the future.

Edit- at this moment I have no interest, so I seriously doubt I will hand over more money to them. They broke a trust and have a long road to travel to see my money again.

Nope…think I have given more than enough reason on this forum as to why, haha. Good luck to those that do get it and I look forward to reading actual gamer reviews here.

I agree with StumpyJoeChilds and patbateman72 110%! I guess the only way I see me and my guy ever playing this is if it ever comes to Game Pass - LOL! But even then, would our Series X & One X be safe from crashes?? Sadly quite unlikely…

I answered no to the first one but the reality is that some time in the future, probably couple of years after it’s come out, I’ll get it on sale. I do hope it’s good. Perhaps it’s even amazing on launch but I’m not gonna get on that ride until everything that GBX is going to do with it is done. I think I’d be happier with BL3 if I wasn’t aware of what was done in its patches and hotfixes and had just picked it up after all of those. That’s what I’m gonna do with Wonderlands if I still remember it exists 2-3 years from now.

You’re settling for too little. There are games out there that you can get much more entertainment out of for a lesser price tag.

Yet another person who feels that they know better than I how to spend my money.
You (and others who are in the “don’t buy XXX!” faction) know very little about me, my tastes, what games I have tried, and so on.

I encourage everyone who uses the “you’re wasting your money” post style to change to “I wouldn’t use my money to purchase XXX”. Talk about your experience and where you get your maximized gaming value, but don’t talk about mine.
Thanks.

Borderlands 3 was a polished product at launch. Worked fine, played great , was great fun.

The problem was with balancing and end game content… Which only became issues after the first 6 months or so

No. I don’t have any interest in the fantasy setting and nothing from what I’ve seen of Wonderlands has hooked me otherwise.

I’m also wary that it’s continuing a trend I noticed in some of the Borderlands 3 DLCs that I don’t really like, which is that the setting and atmosphere of Borderlands is being sacrificed for whatever theme the devs think is cool at the moment. Obvious nerd cred stuff like Lovecraft, D&D, samurai cowboy mashups, etc.

Not for me. Vault got wiped (once, as I stopped playing until that was fixed), Coop was finicky to establish and unstable. I had no performance issues and crashes, but many Xbox users reported them, so “polished” sounds a bit generous to me.

Yeah, they did a massive disservice to themselves when they released mayhem 2.0. The game was as balanced as it ever got during the end of mayhem 1.0, when even most purple guns were pretty good. They should have released an additional mayhem level at most and focus on pumping out more endgame content. Instead, they ruined the gun and class balance with mayhem 2.0 and they wasted their time trying to fix it for months, which is time they could have spent making another takedown or something.

That’s the worst design decision I have ever seen in a video game to be honest, which is why I cannot trust them to deliver anything of quality with wonderlands. If wonderlands doesn’t come close or surpass the rating for borderlands 2, I won’t touch it.

Ah yes. “I’m not telling you how to spend your money. I’m just telling you there’s better ways to spend your money.” The difference is somewhere in there, I’m sure.

Also the guy just told you that you’ve no idea what he likes or what he’s played before so telling him to “broaden his perspectives” is just weird. The man knows what he wants better than you do.

Here we go again , time to grab the popcorn before the thread get close :joy:
50/50 on the poll just what we need for a fair fight to the death, if successful Gearbox will release Borderlands Royale as pvp dlc :laughing:

People are different - they have different tastes, different values, different opinions…

And that is ALLOWED. Criticizing others over differences of taste or opinion, however, is definitely NOT ALLOWED. And making assumptions about other forum users based on a handful of text posts is RIGHT OUT.

Well, to truly honour the 50:50 split it would have to come as two separate DLCs: Borderlands Battle, and Borderlands Royale…

I will probably get it despite not being interested in the fantasy setting and me not wanting to support Gearbox anymore, after the ■■■■ show that was/is Borderlands 3. The reason, as noted in another Thread is that I dearly miss Battleborn and alteast the action skills seem to be heavily influenced or outright reskinned versions of abilities from that game, add the character creator… and well Borderlands 3 gameplay is pretty much the only big thing I don’t despise.

As for the story/writing I don’t really have put my hopes high considering the ESBR description (Wonderlands is only rated T by the way) makes it clear this will be filled with poop jokes just the same:

Summary

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role a character within a fantasy tabletop role-playing game. As players explore graphic novel-style environments, they traverse landscapes, interact with characters, complete missions/quests, and battle humans and creatures (e.g., skeletons, zombies, land sharks) in frenetic combat. Players use pistols, crossbows, machine guns and melee weapons (e.g., axes, swords) to kill enemy forces. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, cries of pain, and green or blue blood-splatter effects. During a prolonged sequence, a tree creature is depicted emitting red blood. The game contains some suggestive/sexual material in the dialogue (e.g., “My goblin loins are moist with dew, when my eyes are locked on you”; “As if I could be seen knocking boots with that poor thing”; “I would rather be cpulating on a unicorn”; “Just keep it in your pants, ok darling.”). A handful of enemy creatures (e.g., goblins, mushroom men, zombies) are depicted with exposed buttocks. During the course of one mission, players must wait for a pet creature to defecate and then collect its feces. The words “dck,” “prck,” and “as” are heard in the game.

I have the smallest hope it is a little better because Matt Cox was also responsible for Bounty of Blood, which I loved, but I’m probably just delusional here seeing as he isn’t the writer himself.

For all chances even if this turns out to be really great then there is still the biiiig gripe that this isn’t a Borderlands game and doesn’t move the story forward, which at best will just make me angry that non of the awesome levels, enemies etc. are present in Borderlands 3…

One last thing I would like to get off my mind is, not speaking about our community here but rather people over at reddit, is how a lot of people are arguing that this game is going to be running/working way better than Borderlands 3 because it was in development for the past 10 years. I can only scratch my head about this because it was conceptualized for the past 10 years, if anything “real” working started after they switched engines, which was what 2016? And that should really tell you anything about it because it will have the same design flaws by default because of said engine and even if they patched the code we saw how BL3 was going back and forth with every patch it received. So at best it will work at launch but will suffer in some way the first time someone adds a patch or hotfix, atleast that’s what I’m suspecting.

Anyway I applaud everyone that has the guts to stay strong and not give Gearbox anymore money and no this isn’t meant to insult anyone that still does :slightly_smiling_face:
