Comment on Borderlands 4 release date now set for September 12, plus a new trailer and deep dive are out
otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 days agoThe Borderlands series has been a rapidly cooling corpse for years, now. Opinions differ on when the peak was, but it’s undeniably past tense. If the sloppy handjob they called a movie wasn’t any indication, I don’t know what is.
Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep was the peak.
That’s not a very apt metaphor for the film. At least a sloppy handjob can get the job done; the movie was just a stale puddle of piss on berber carpeting that won’t even sink in because the result of the carpet is moist for some reason.
I don’t disagree with any of that. 🤘🏼
also this wonderlands thing…holy shit…so, yes, a slomo downfall.
Honestly I really love the idea of wonderlands, more dragon’s keep is like alchemical gold, but it’s so slow in a way that just doesn’t feel like borderlands. Even 3 has better pacing.
And the writing feels like it’s a Disney kids game at times.
That I don’t mind. The only difference between my D&D campaign and a Disney game is the players ability to stab the king.
What do you mean? Borderlands 3 were amazing.
I didn’t really like 3. Gameplay was fine, but there were too many annoying characters to make me want to replay it.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderland dragged on so much and felt like a lot of inept pandering. So I wasn’t as grumpy about how there wasn’t really anything beyond the first playthrough. I remember just running through a bunch of areas towards the end just to finish it.
What a resoundingly confident, glowing review.
