Who asked Gearbox to spend twice the budget on it? Also, many AAA games are way too long these days.
Usually the length is just filler content to pad it out.
Don’t forget to collect all 2 million pieces of something spread out throughout the game in order to unlock the next chapter!
Oof… Sounds like it’s gonna flop massively then.
In my opinion, the only good thing that’s come out of that franchise was the Telltale games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WzX_bEUQRQWow, that’s one of a take. I’m curious, what makes you think that way?
Which part? That Telltale made the best Borderlands game? Or that Borderlands 4 is going to flop?
I visited “Tales from the Borderlands” steam page 1½ hour ago, around the time I wrote that comment, and I saw some reviews that highlighted Gearbox horrible new EULA which is very privacy invasive. Combined with the franchise’s recent flop, the movie, I’m not certain many people are willing to to pay $80 for practically spyware.Oh yeah, sorry, the Telltale part. The flop chances are clearly increasing, im with you on this one.
It’s obviously subjective, and since I have a love for adventure games, which are better at conveying a story than a shooter in my opinion, or at least a lot better than what the Gearbox Borderlands games managed to do, I just feel like Telltale told the possible version of a story from that universe. Lots of comedy, amazing characters and great voice acting. Of Telltales best games, I’d say it’s in the Top 3 with The Walking Dead. Not sure what I’d put as number 3 though… “Either Back to the Future: The Game” or “The Wolf Among Us”.
Makes perfect sense, thx for explaining!
Gearbox is stepping into AAAA territory here. Gotta compete with Ubis*ft.
In a world where a lot of triple A games are not even worth $60, I’ll wait for the reviews.
And the sales!
Such CEO bravery
