I'll probably grab DR3 when I eventually get a xb1, but I'll be glad it's only $15 when I do. I was pretty ho-hum on DR2 and what I've seen of DR3 hasn't been particularly impressive. ZombiU may have spoiled me, that game was awesome. Best survival horror I've played in 10 years.

Really awesome games? Hmm. I haven't even seen one I would buy yet, were it not for the fact that nothing else is available. I was stoked about Crimson Dragon but then I read some reviews. The only games on the horizon with confirmed dates that look good to me are Dragon Age and Destiny. Shrug.

Ok, I hear you. I hope they do that. I don't get the impression they are but I could be wrong. To me, this feels like offloading the franchise to another team so they can release SOMETHING while we wait for the real game. That team doesn't need to do much since pretty much all the work has been done. They just need to…

I totally agree. Although, my issues with RRoD were pretty nasty and I even waited over a year! The stupid returns took weeks. Normally, I buy all 3 consoles, but this time, so far, I've only bought a Wii-U. I would have waited longer for it, but it had full backward compatibility so I felt more comfortable grabbing…

Well, naturally, it will play just as well on the system it was designed for. That's kind of the point.

Nope. I just want to play as Lilith, Brick, and Mord.

BL1 wasn't but BL2 was.

THey're only doing it that way because this game looks to be a quit and dirty cashin/holdover until the real sequel comes out. Probably why they're farming it out to a different studio.

It's "full length" but it's basically just a gigantic DLC. The guns and art all look like they're pulled from BL2. You know it's not a "real" sequel because they farmed it off on another development team, probably while the borderlands team works on BL3.

Exactly.

It was the entire scaling change that BL2 introduced. It kind of broke a lot of things. Would love it if they fixed that.

You're right. This is a big reason why I waited. I'll grab a PS4 when it's $299 and I'll grab and xb1 when its $349 with no kinect included (next holiday is my guess). By then, all the first 2 waves of games will be about $15-$19 used. Best bet is to stay a year or two behind the curve. Everything is cheaper and the…

I don't think they're handing this game to 2K Australia so they can work on new IPs. I think they're handing it to 2K Australia so they can work on the real Borderlands sequel. This game looks to be little more than a really large DLC pack. Some new classes, environments, guns, and a vehicle. Exactly what they've been…

You weren't playing it wrong. It just changed from BL1 to focus on different things. It didn't support many of the same playstyles as BL1. I enjoyed BL2 but thought BL1 was a better game in most ways that matter to me. I don't care a ton about story in my FPS games (even those with RPG elements). I care more about…

They gave us new environments with the DLC. They looked great. They gave us a few new classes and some new weapons and a vehicle. But otherwise, it was the same. This looks like more of that, like 3 or 4 DLC packs worth of content and call it a new game. I guess we'll see. To me, it would make more sense to have guns…

Great writeup. Sadly, I'll not be preordering this game. Borderlands 2 was somewhat disappointing and I ended up not even playing most of the DLC. All the guns look the same as BL2 (feels more like expansion than new game), which is probably an improvement since most of them looked like space guns anyway, which, while…

The only difference between us then is that I think MS is smart enough to realize it too.

I don't even know what that means. As it stands, the xbox with kinect is not doing well against the PS4. I think it's the price holding it back. I think the price is driven by the mandatory inclusion of kinect. I'm not saying they should never sell kinect. Clearly some people like it. It should be an option one can…

I disagree with your italicized point. I don't think it needs to undercut the PS4, although it could if it got rid of kinect. I never said their needs to be a price cut today. or even this month. I think they'll do it during the coming holiday, when they release the kinectless bundle. And I haven't really played a…

If your point still stands, I'm not sure what it is then. This kind of bundle is just what they do before a more basic unbundled price cut. Also, if you recall, the PS3 price drop coincided with the loss of some hardware, making the system cheaper by removing functionality. I see no reason to believe MS won't make the…
