Oh shit I forgot about that. When everyone called Randy and company out of using G2A, didn't he pin the blame on PCF?

Just like how he pinned the blame on Colonial Marines all on Timegate, the poor company they outsourced to that had no idea of all the bullshit Randy was pulling?

No, nobody can be that dumb.

>>380926403
They just got really fucking lucky. Gearbox was never a studio capable of facing the big bois in either quantity or quality, they just happened to make the first well-executed combination of FPS and Diablo-like looting. Stealing some poor bastard's art and never compensating him helped too. Unfortunately, it turns out FPS+loot is an incredibly simple concept that any and everyone could copy and do just as well, but with higher production value (Destiny, The Division). Combine that with a poorly-balanced sequel (BL2 scales like Oblivion) and fill your writing with obnoxious SJW shit and there you go. Gearbox was never good.

If they could just get a Borderlands Online out, most of my friends would drop Destiny for the crazier Borderlands and meme humor anyway. Borderlands was realy good at getting girl players around here to for some reason, but I mean they can't even get a next gen version out.

Dont forget that after he got shit for making a deal with G2A he blamed the guys at PCF for the whole fiasco, just for him to say a day later that it was gearbox's publishing team the one who made the deal, but they just made a mistake, because they were new at their jobs.

But a week earlier he was saying that he sold Bulletstorm at $50 because his publishing team made that decision and he trusted them, because they were pros

You're assuming a level of technical competence and financial stability that simply doesn't exist. Mind you, even Battleborn, a next-gen game and their most expensive, runs on UE3. They might not even have the funds to use an engine optimized for current-gen systems.

What gets me about the entire thing is if they priced the bulletstorm re-release at like $20-30, I would have considered it.

How hard square enix affected the Hitman series? I really liked the new game, and even Hitman absolution

>>380927321

>>380928092
Absolution was OK but not at all up to par with the previous entries.
Hitman 2016 was actually pretty good but the asinine episodic release format probably harmed sales long-term, even if it did allow the devs to listen to more feedback and improve.

People like Randy always get another chance, how else do you explain Uwe Boll directing a ton of vidya movies?

>>380929180
Didn't Uwe Boll get his funding through some weird tax loophole? Also Postal was a legit good movie

Gearbox isn't self-sustainable so they need a publisher for big name titles, not re-releases of games nobody asked for. No publisher will work with them after they robbed SEGA, and even though 2K owns the Borderlands franchise, they'd be hesitant to give Randy money to make a new one because how much Battleborn hemorrhaged money and continues to do so, because Randy is so stuck up his own ass that he won't just cut his losses and move on.

>Didn't Uwe Boll get his funding through some weird tax loophole?

Yeah, movies that lose money could be counted as business losses under German taxes, so he got investors, went all horrible movie, lost their money, and got huge refunds from the govt himself claiming business losses. Making a successful movie actually hurt him financially. It's like The Producers, but he was never successful.

I like Uwe Boll. Postal is a really fucking good movie imo. It's so dumb and crass, I can't help but love it. Dude gets a lot of shit for his game adaptations, but I'm sure 50% of the shit was his fault, and the other 50% was the game publisher telling him what to included.

No one will believe me, but I use to work for TimeGate, As a resident of Sugar land Texas (Go astros!) there really wasn't/isn't a huge scene down here for that kinda work. I wasn't some important guy, I was just a code monkey who did renders of level design. Basically all I did was take what the artist drew/designed, put it into the system digitally and added texture on.

The overall aspect of the whole project came crashing down hard about half way through, Gearbox gave us little to absolutely no help with anything, when they kept saying they would help out more, they never did. We had a huge issue with the ps3 version, it was constantly falling apart, our team had very little help with that version in particular. We would send basically what amounted to S.O.S to gearbox pleading for help with the ever increasing work load they kept piling on us. They wouldn't get back to us for a week at most, basically telling us "sorry we are just too swamped over here :^)" then they would get pissed off at us for having such a rough time, delaying build updates ect. Randy in particular is a huge asshole, he came down to our studio maybe once or twice. The whole time talking down to us, and joking around about "Gearbox should just buy up our tiny studio and show us how a real company runs haha Jk" We all hated him with incredible depth. Finally before Gearbox was suppose to show off the work to Sega suits, they demanded we get up to speed in less than a month. At that point, myself, along with the entire Pecan team basically hit rock bottom. We worked 16 hours a day trying our best to get it going, all along with Gearbox shitting on us in technical support, demanding insane all of a sudden changes (As in they demanded we change entire chapters/sections based on bizzare script changes)

Finally much pain, we turned in what we had and Gearbox basically went apeshit at the state of the product. It was barely ass functional. It was so broken and beat up that during a showing of the first few chapters to Sega suits, the ps3 version crashed twice, the 360 version crashed, the pc version was the only one that looked like it was ok (due to us using top of the line gear and basically brute forcing it to function and having that version heavily pre-scripted which was a idea forced upon us by gearbox, similar to the E3 demo before it) Sega was absolutely livid, they were threatening legal action on Gearbox, who in turned blamed it on us not having enough people to properly bug test. So with a wink and a smile, Gearbox said all they had to do was take what we did back to their own studio and plug in a few things and it would be 100% perfect. Sega believed them, told us to basically fuck off and let Gearbox get away with the abuse. Of course the game ended up getting delayed again, and Gearbox blamed it on us giving them a different build when certification came around. So they got out of the blame game again.

in the end, we ended up not getting our much desired milestone bonuses, a good portion of money we were owed for overtime, Gearbox was suppose to pay us out all that from the money that Sega gave them and was suppose to budget it out to us.

I ended up quitting not too long before TG shut their doors for good, I now no longer work in the Game industry, my general hate for it now landed me a career as a logistics manger at a corporate logistic warehouse.

>>380932406
If Randy was truly smart he would step down from ever publically speaking ever again. No one fucking likes him and Gearbox has a shit reputation and needs good PR to even bring it halfway around.

>>380933365
no problem y'all. I have had a vendetta against Gearbox since then.
When anons on here post Gearbox memes and fuck randy memes, its the only thing that can be taken as fact on this site. It is such a scummy company, I was just talking to one of my old TG buddies today about how badly they are crashing right now. We got a hold of some of the other guys, and decided the day they die is the day we go out and get smashed and celebrate at the nicest restaurant we can find. A lot of the old Pecan team ended up leaving the industry after that, a few went on to other companies, one guy in particular went on to join the boys over at Zenimax, I believe doing ESO work (which believe it or not he has said its very nice over there and everyone seems to love their job/comforting environment and friendly) Some went on to do mobile stuff.

>>380933441
Gearbox sold snake oil to Sega in many different ways, we originally had an agreement with Gearbox to create a gorgeous custom engine JUST for this game alone. Lots of focus on deferred lighting methods and some great ambient sound design (think deadspace one) We were all VERY excited thrilled to get the honor to work on the game at first, lots of nights out drinking after work talking about childhood experiences with the movies and stuff, but Randy and company decided instead of such a engine, they could save a ton of money for themselves and use what ended up in the game at release, but they still wanted us to hack it together to include all the pre planned custom engine details. (Which was impossible because of technical constraints) that is why the final game feels so broken, it was hacked together Frankenstein style and shocked to life over and over and over with Gearbox's demands and constant changes

>>380933586

1/2
Yes it was, we had several different builds internally. Our first build was titled "Saltlick" (which was a popular BBQ joint near us) and that build did have that infamous hallway e3 standoff. That build was centered team based gameplay, similar to the brothers in arms series, you could command your small marine squad to weld doors, move in cover, ect Most of the original narrative with this build was based about your marine squad, which was called "heartbreakers" coming to investigate the fallout after the movie explosion. We wanted to make it feel very bro and buddy buddy, squad mates would dynamically chatter during battle, commenting on things that were going on at the time, they would talk shit to each other ect. over the course of the game, they would slowly start to get killed off, getting beat down and desperate ect. After about 3 years on this version. Gearbox came in and said "ok well we dont want this anymore, we want a pure FPS because thats what sells well, not squad games" (well along that line, thats the gist of it)

>>380934494
Used to work at Best Buy. We had this playstation accommodation thing where first party titles were 10dollars and you could order them direct from Sony. Stillborn, despite not being 1st party, was marketing on it like hell. Got the deluxe digital version on release day for 5bucks, down from 79.99.

Sony rep that came in weekly told us about this great deal and was shilling the game for a full month before its release. 1500games were for sale. It's release day only sold 100 of them out of all retailers nationwide. Last there for two months before the Sony rep told us that the game was going F2P, but it's a great idea to get it anyways since it unlocks everything.

haha randy btfo

>>380935480
2/2

So we fought to retain anything we could from "Saltlick" but Gearbox had our heads to the ground with "we control your money, you'll do what we say :^)"

The next build, which was called "Big Red" (after the texas brand soda) was a much more close resemblance of the final product, one of the main differences being it still had the buddy buddy squad aspect, but this time it was just a straight FPS.

Finally Gearbox came in, saw our work on that one, and said "Well we came up with our own narrative, do this or else" its the one that everyone got, completely changed story, completely new characters (added female characters) and lots of new and worse level designs that could accommodate basically running and gunning freely (the other two builds had a lot of close quarters, dark hallways, twisted metal everywhere, basically what you would expect after a major explosion because while the nuke blast was powerful, it didn't go down into the earth, which is where a lot of hasleys hope was built up at, lots of internal FOX documents show parts of the facility that have never been shown or mentioned publicly)

>>380936385
Actually no, Gearbox was hands off for the first two builds, we did whatever we wanted narrative wise. When they came in and changed the narrative to their own liking in the "Pecan" we had no say in that version. They did add in females just because. But I am about 90 percent sure that Sega told them very bluntly DO NOT add in memes or social issues.

>>380936608
Yes, he did in the DLC but we didn't get to meet him or do anything really with that stuff. He did it all at gearboxes studios, I heard he hated the experience because from what I know he was really excited to get back in the roll and Gearbox ruined it for him, by constantly changing voice acting appointments on him, not keeping him up to date on the DLC stuff ect. Basically they gave him a pat on the ass and a smile as they thew him around. But he was forced to play nice and endorse the DLC in any interview for websites ect. Similar to how Bill Murray was forced to pretend to like the new ghostbusters. Cause Sega felt if he was negative about it, they would lose a ton of money from it, they really felt that people would go out and buy the DLC and stuff just for him.

IIRC after getting his dirty hands on the Duke Nukem franchise, Randy decided to bring together some of the guys that used to be working on duke nukem forever before getting acquired by gearbox

He promised the guys developing DNF great salaries, help from gearbox and bonuses after the game shipped, then with the contract in hand Randy forced the developers to work for very little money, gave them no help, until a couple of months before release and fired them 1 week before releasing the game, saying that the developers didnt met the milestones set upon them by gearbox

Randy's team "finished" the game and released it to great release day sales, but terrible critic scores. He made some money on the game, but at the cost of losing credibility and treating some people as subhumans

Why is Randy so retarded to respond to everything online?

He's supposed to be a CEO or some shit. A millionaire with a business, yet he has hours to argue with fools? You'd never see Todd or anyone else on there doing that.

>>380941389
So exactly the same situation as the anon who said he worked at Timegate mentioned.

Shit like this needs to be shared more and more. Randy and Gearbox already have a lousy reputation, but this could damage them even more.

Even Borderlands 3 probably wouldn't save them at this point. Battleborn was an enormous failure, 2k is cutting losses with their bigger fuckups, writers are leaving, Duke is DoA, and their publishing scam has already been seen as greedy and clueless.

Thanks to some strikes in the 50s he and all of his hometown were able to live like people, instead of slaves

I've never played Colonial Marines, what about it makes people as bad as people say it is?I remember my dad bought it when we got a 360 but I never played it because of how people said how bad it was, and I'm pretty sure my dad never did either because I recently found it in a closet still in it's packaging

Not defending Hilary. Both candidates were shit. Bernie absolutely could've won out against trump but the DNC went full retard. And I did vote Gary Johnson if only because he's the only non-absolute-shit candidate. He's a D+ at-best and still the best choice we had.

I don't want to fuck this thread though because Randy Pitchford is an awful person who deserves every bit of shit thrown at him.

>>380944016
Both were the same thing anon, but it took more time for people who voted for trump to realize it
He never was gonna fight against ISIS, he will continue the same policy of Obama of destroying the Syrian goverment to make Israel happy
He will never build the wall, the number of deportations are at the same level of Obama years, he will never drain the swamp after he put bankers on his cabinet, he destroyed internet neutrality because "le big goverment is le bad and internet neutrality is le communist devil", NAFTA is still there, NATO is now not obsolete and not a complete waste of american taxpayers money to give more money to the defense industry

Much like Borderlands, the comedic lines themselves are far from the worst part of the game. The problem, as outlined earlier, is that the rest of the game is tedious and an eyesore, and with a game like Battleborn you're going to get these lines thrown in your face over and over again. Whatever good will they had will be dragged down by dealing with the rest of the game and then buried with their repetition.

It keeps the cover image and the title of the game on the front of /v/ with 300 replies constantly before they get eventually get deleted. That's all it needs to be in the public eye on /v/ and get talked about.

/v/ isn't some super secret club either. The amount of people that visit this place even just to lurk is insane, internet normies from all over as well that come to check it out. It's the most entry-level board on the site (which is obvious because the quality of the posts is so low). There's definitely enough of an audience to warrant some minimum wage shitpost viral marketer with a dynamic IP to set up shop.

This is retarded and unacceptable. Not even the programmers and you know, people actually working on the game get residuals.

One of my old friends used to tell tons of horror stories while he was working ground crew at Delta, about what bullying and terrorizing assholes the local union was in the face of constant rejection, since they had better conditions and pay without the union than equivelent ground crew in union on other airlines.

Unions were needed to counter some evil as fuck people once. To a degree they still are, but as often as not, now they're the evil ones craving power and doing anything they can to hold on and wield that power.

I wish, those two have been abandoned since forever.

I hate Randy for ruining the word badass. It's an impressive feat to literally destroy any validity the word once held, just by yourself.

Dude, the Homeworld remaster was fucking awful. The only thing it did was get people interested again, just in time for the series to go off a cliff with Deserts and then die completly

The mechanic would have been more interesting if the Xenomorphs didn't keep looking at you the entire time.

I think this is something coming from Take Two, that Randy has to keep reiterating. Like the dude is out of his mind but this seems like a corporate thing he has to abide by.

Because "free trial" in some legal sense is probably distinct from "free to play"

>>380927194
Warframe already fills that niche.

>>380947882
Holy fuck, I forgot all about that. Early to mid 2000s internet drama was fucking amazing.

>>380954802
I'm sure its Randy's pride. It's his private twitter, I'm sure there are legal arguments for "this is his personal opinion, not corporate talk."
2K would likely be more than happy to call it free-to-play, and attract some audience, even if technically it isn't f2p.
I haven't looked closer, because its fucking Battleborn, but can you actually play the entire game or is content blocked to the "actual" version?

>2K would likely be more than happy to call it free-to-play

Take Two hasn't exactly been logical or reasonable lately, consider that they are also the ones going after GTA roleplayers with offline mods for literally no reason, even rockstar doesn't know why

>>380955304
The PvP content is the only thing playable and the roster has a LoL rotation.
The full game let's you play any character and have access to the PvE content.

I guess you can call it F2PvP.

>>380952725
Yea man. I'd play his game

>>380951935
You've pointed to totally irrelevant examples. Good job? His point was unions no longer serve the purpose they once did IN THE WEST. Your first two references are in third world countries, the third has nothing to do with labor at all. Sometimes I forget that /v/ isn't just filled with artists and assholes, but genuine retards too

>>380926403
They spent a lot of millions on Battleborn and now they don't have enough shekels for a AAA game.
Or at least that's the only reason I can think about

I hope you can change the FoV

All that will happen is they will make a good game (or not) and then some big company like EA will throw hundreds of millions at whoever owns the company to buy it.

They will then run it into the ground and dissolve it purely to own the IPs.

We have seen this time and time again, greed rules.

Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood were great when I played them when they first came out. Not played Hell's Highway but I've heard mixed things.
