It's time for another Pitchfork and Gearbox thread!
who /bad ass/ here?
It makes me happy that some people finally woke up and realized how scummy him and Gearbox are.
>>387134658
Outplayed like a bitch
Posting a classic Randy moment.

Goddamnit Bobby, you can't just copy paste all the vomit marketing produces.
>>387134658
lmao he was obliterated right there
So hows battleborn going? are they still updating it?
I wish they'd just shit out Borderlands 3 already so it can be the turd that quashes their last hope and nails the coffin closed
>>387136350
Yeah, they made it free to play recently but it's still pretty fucking dead. The average Randy thread gets more replies/images/IPs than Battleborn gets players.
>>387136398
>gearbox kicks the bucket
>Duke Nukem replaces System Shock in I.P ownership hell stuck between fucking insurance companies and shitty publishers
Maybe Night Dive can pull another rescue or whatever.
The best one
>>387135959
What's the word, the one to describe people that say words they don't know what they mean.
>>387135959
Having a goo, shortd x-statement and razor statement are like game producer 101. That sounds like a fucking clusterfuck. Why not:
>>387136398
BL3 has to be pretty fucking impressive now that it has to compete with other loot based shooters like The Division, Warframe, Destiny, Anthem and probably some other crap.
>>387136498
>free to play
that was shit long ago
i mean... anything new? but i guess that'd be asking someone who actually plays battleborn here
>>387134425
>Pitchfork
I always thought Bitchford was more appropriate.
They would be redeemed if they fixed Homeworld and remade Cataclysm in the new engine.
>>387136531
Brutal.
>>387134658
>gets triggered by sexist joke from account called science PORN
Golly gee. I bet he would be laughing his ass off the joke was about male astronauts. I bet he would be laughing his ass off it was a joke about male astronaut fucking up his trajectory because he was too stubborn to ask directions or some shit.
>>387134425
Well no news that he and his company suck. I already knew this when they started to release a fucking borderlands every year. It's the same like cod. Every year the same shit with a new fancy name.
>hurr durr look at this, it's borderland the "pre-sequel"
>still basically the same game as every borderlands title b4
>>387137697
There are only 3 borderlands games in nearly a decade. Telltale doesn't count.
>>387138002
And i still can't understand how people are able to play these longer than 10 minutes without feeling braindead
>>387138359
I've tried to get into Borderlands 2 on two occasions and both times I just get completely bored at the snow area where you're driving the car around. Borderlands games are quite bland in terms of gameplay.
>>387134658
I wonder what his reaction is. Does he laugh first at the joke before realizing he acted counter to his currently prescribed religion? Or is he so indoctrinated he lost his entire sense of humor and can only send out pictures of him kneeling on bathroom floors.
>>387138526
A friend of mine actually gifted me a copy of bl2 since he wanted to play it with me.
>so now we will have to rush through the game 2 times to get on highest difficulty and get all the good stuff
No fuck you
>>387135959
IF VIDYA IS MY HOBBY THEN ANY VIDEO GAME IS HOBBY GRADE RANDY, YOU ATTENTION HUNGRY FUCK.
>>387138540
every time I see this post I get no less shocked at how accurate it is.
>>387138359
The first one was novel and pretty fun back in 2009. I played through all of Borderlands 2 but I don't know why.
Pitchford seems to like taking pitctures in bathrooms.
>>387138936
Jizzus, that bathroom is filthy...
But what did I expect, the man lives with a landwhale.
>>387136531
>reddit tier meme avatar

>>387138936

>>387139173
every time I see the words "free trial" I laugh my ass of at the raw delusion of this company and its refusal to call this Free 2 Play and insisting on "indefinitely long free trial"
>>387136557
Parotting?
>>387139173
Battleborn is shit, but it's funny how their numbers are somehow still better than LawBreakers if you consider release and all-time peak.
Really makes you wonder how shit LB is.
>>387138540
Always makes me think of Borderlands
>>387140061
Yes! thats the one, thanks anon.
Someone please post the one where his wife makes a Duke reference and Randy takes Duke's twitter and and taints the name
>>387136531
Never fails to make me laugh
>>387135959
Literal fun fact:
Gearbox is developing a new game currently called "Project 1v1" which they have explained as
>combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game
I shit you not. What does that even mean?
What is wrong with Randy? Is he incapable of describing a slice of bread?
>>387141315
lmao what the fuck
>>387141315
it means card based loudouts like a million shitty shooters since microtransactions became a thing but even worse
>>387141315
>Slice of bread
It's a hobby-grade; yeast-based; heat-absorvent, oven-grown; meta-food, whole-made + epic cut into smaller portions.
>>387135959
hobby grade always sounds cheap, like it's a scroll saw that can only cut thin balsa wood. now military, industrial and professional are grades that sound like they mean business.
>>387141646
kek
>>387141646
Holy shit my sides
>>387140146
Did LB advertise at all? I wouldn't have known about it before it released if I didn't watch that shitty pc showcase at e3.

>cliffy turned into a total fag
Dont do drugs kids
How sad is your life that you repeatedly make threads and save pictures of a man you've never met. This obsession isn't healthy.
inb4 someone calls me Randy
>>387140146
Battleborn was atleast known a bit because its from gearbox

>combines the action of fast-paced 1v1 first-person combat with the metagame strategy of a collectible card game
This is making my brain hurt. What the actual fuck can this mean?
>1v1 first person combat
So, a fighting game but in first person? Are there guns, is it a shooter that's 1v1?
>the metagame strategy of a collectible card game
Does he mean it's metagame is 'like' a collectable card game? Does this just mean a tactical FPS with only two players? Are there even any cards in this or was that just an analogy for the metagame? First person combat doesn't mean it's a shooter and "metagame strategy of a collectable card game" doesn't mean it has cards. Does it have cards? Is it a 1v1 first person shooter(?) with a card battle minigame? Like how Red Dead Redemption had all those minigames like poker, dice, horseshoes and so on? Or how New Vegas has Caravan and Blackjack?
What the actual fuck is wrong with this statement?
>>387135959

His profound lack of self reflection is going to make sure it's spectacular.
someone post the latest twitter bantz

I'm still trying to think how someone could be like this. Who are you pandering to? What are you trying to do? Who are you as a person?
>He doesn't play Battleborn Tap.
>>387136083
It means competitive strategies are always changing
I think...
>>387143219
I'm honestly convinced that they just use random words generators at this point.
>>387144303
It has to be. It would be more of an explanation if he just said "We're making a new game, and it's going to cross two genres." Did someone post the "Typical Gearbox Dialogue" image yet? Even the written dev announcements are filled with "zany", obnoxious filler.
>>387138359
I played both and enjoyed them
But anything that wasen't jakobs, hyperion, or vladolf felt awful to use
Lots of the guns all felt the same aswell and most of the crazy shit you got as quest rewards
>>387144628
Yep that's the one. Thanks.

What toxic comments. Disgusting.
Is Randy a real person? Seriously, he almost seems like his existence was manufactured to be a caricature of a scummy developer/publisher.
should we apply "hobby-grade" as Battleborn's tag on Steam? The game is probably so unpopular that "tag vandalism" shouldn't take much manpower.
>>387145447
How is he "scummy" exactly? Just shit up, you sound ignorant.
>>387145469
More trouble that it's worth. Chances are however many anons go to the store page will be the entirety of it's monthly traffic.

>>387145729
I'd rather leave Randy for obscurity. He strives for attention. He's given up on whether it's positive or not. Hell, he might see this as a positive, which doesn't help matters.
>>387145829
it would be if you weren't a tremendous newfag.
Go to Battleborn's Steam page and apply the tag "Hobby Grade" to it. There you go.
>>387145863
Cuck, spotted the cuck right here. YOU shut the fuck up right now. I'm not Randy Potchford but he is a million times the father, husband and game developer than you'll ever EVER be. Just fuck off with your toxicity and vitriol. The man is INNOCENT, he has committed no crimes and he just wants to make good games for everybody to play because he knows how important it is to game with your families.

>embezzles money from Sega to fund Borderlands 2 and laughs at the class action suit failing on twitter
>acts like a clown online by directly responding to tweets (despite being a CEO and having an employee base that would typically handle PR for him) containing grade school insults and comes out looking worse every time

>video of his family in general
>felt the need to show a video of his family
>make up lies for literally no reason or possible gain and gets called out on them instantly
>tries to promote his game by commissioning pornographic illustrations of the characters
>gets called out on that immediately too
>still acts like he's a hotshot in the industry and those who don't like his failing games are either "internet bullies" or too dumb to understand his brand of "quality"
>>387146275
>>tries to promote his game by commissioning pornographic illustrations of the characters
Huh?

It's lies and slanders about a good husband and father and game developer. Just ignore these sad "people".

Update: Valve has informed us that Randy and Gabe didn't meet until after Valve had shipped Half-Life, making Randy's story seem ... well, unlikely. We're trying to find out what happened right now.
Update 2: Well, we just heard from PR and they confirmed that the story is a fabrication. Pitchford is apparently going to get in contact to explain what happened. We can't wait to find out his excuse for taking advantage of our Pollyanna-esque faith in the inherent goodness of people, and, by extension, telling tall tales to you, the people who are buying his games.
https://www.engadget.com/2009/08/17/whats-in-a-name-gearbox-software/
Battleborn leverages core skillsets and world-class team synergy through hobby-grade coop campaign to provide players worldwide with genre-blended, multi-mode, competitive e-sport of flexible, personalized, cutting-edge FPS that reliably adapts to evolving player needs.

You don't have a single fact (1, One) fact to back any of these posts up. And the truth is that you're just bitter and jealous of Mr. Pitchford. He is a massively successful game develioper living the dream in a mansion with a beautiful wife and a highly intelligent and popular son. He makes the games he loves whilst you circlejerk and shitpost about him on here. It's sad, even Reddit doesn't stoop to your low levels. Games like Battleborn and Borderlands changed my llife, our lives. for the better.
Battleborn was marketed as having an anime art style.
Or to quote that one chick in the crowbcat video
>"An ani*giggle*me artystle"
As if she knows it's bullshit but she has to stick to the script.
