Borderlands 1 is fine and some of 2's DLC is ok.

Wut? Borderlands does have issues, but one of the few things Gearbox did right was the visual style of those games.

Hell, battleborn looked way worse because it did not have any real unifying art style, and just looked like a hodgepodge of different things.

Oh boy another siren, soldier, and assassin with a strong meat shieldish character. It wasn't until the DLC that they made new vault hunters
The only thing they changed was how edgy shit is, from the start you learn that the villain kills a bunch of people from voice logs and this continues on for the rest of the game.
The villain is also one of the worst things in this game, you are CONSTANTLY reminded of him every second "haha i'm a dick" "hey remember that i'm the bad guy xd" "BUTTSTALLION LOL" "I'M AN ASSHOLE" Every. Fucking. Minute. Being a repetitive annoyance doesn't make you an interesting character.

That's the good thing about the 1st one though, you don't need a main villain because the entire planet is trying to kill you. Everyone's a massive threat and you're just a merc looking for weapons, money, and fame.

Burch retconed Hyperion's in-setting respawn service.
For the purposes of Tragic Character Death, it doesn't exist.
Also BL1 was bleak and had darkly humorous bits, generally serious throughout.
BL2, like Saints' Row 3, was too damn wacky but relied even more heavily on reference humour.

Everyone was complaining about the artstyle. I'm pretty sure if it was standard soldiers it would have sold more and if it was anime girls /v/ would have shilled it.

This isnt 1990 anymore, people are more shallow. They don't care about gameplay, they care about looks. This is why people jerk off Persona and Overwatch and why you have people here dedicated to whining about any game that features dark skin

That's only because when you get to that cave you're like level 7 and they are level 11, and BL1 has a pretty dumb system where enemies that are higher in level than you are both deal much more damage to you and receive much less.

>>389080683

This is the dumbest thing ever, their visual art style should allow them to put more effort into dynamic effects, which they already kinda did in bl2 with physx shit. Why not do stuff like full volumetric lighting, more cartoony effects etc. that make the game look more stunning if he cares about graphics.

Bandits got him. One thing I did like about BL1 humor is how everybody was comfortable with the idea of death. You investigate that hanged guy's death for Scooter and when you report back he's like "Huh, oh well" even though they're buddies. There's more examples of that in quests.

Zed is a murderer and practices medicine without a license or indeed any training. Unsanitary to boot.
Marcus is probably also a murderer, but he basically tries to rob you or rope you into some shady work every time you interact.
If you think about things beyond the surface detail, Pandora truly is the arsehole of the galaxy.

Go and listen to those logs again, she's talking about how she didn't like that crewmate because she was fat and annoying, about her recorder plotting against her, she's autistic as fuck and only cares about the Vault. It's clearly intended to be funny.

>Our stolen art style is the reason our games suck!

Randy, to find the problem with Gearbox and its games all you have to do is look into a mirror.

He is the DSP of game developers. A one trick pony that is primarily known for a cavalcade of failures. He will blame everyone and everything else for his own shortcomings. When Borderlands 3 releases he will truly have nothing and despair will set in.

I wonder if Battleborn haunts his dreams
>>
>>389087286
It's played for laughs mostly. Like that town in 2, Overlook whatever, where Jack killed most of the citizens because they refused to obey his silly laws. Pandora is a horrible shithole in both games, but they still are obviously humorous.

Yeah, but the game wasn't attacking you personally, which is what the entirety of BL2 is. It starts when they casually kill of Helena Pierce in an optional audio log, ramps up when they turn the entire cast of 1 into pathetic caricatures (also having them defeated easily off screen by the new bad guy, who also destroys the Underdome, horrifically tortures Tannis and kills Brick's dog) and then goes into overdrive when they kill off Bloodwing and Roland purely for shock value and against all established rules of the setting. The final level being the first level of 1 except decimated by Hyperion's mining operation as a personal fuck you from the villain and presumably from the developers too is just the last bit of salt in the wound.

The whole game is about how much of a stupid piece of shit you are for ever having liked the first one, and the tone is much darker because it just relentlessly shows things and people you'd grown attached to being spitefully crushed by a much more powerful villain who is personally trying to kill you and your friends. Compare to the first one which, while being set in a sort-of-post-apocalypse desert hellhole, at least had kind of an optimistic outlook because it's just you and the wasteland, and the monsters that live in it. There's no pressure beyond the desire to explore the world and progress in the game.

Sometimes they just have cool shit. But also sometimes people might want the game but either can't afford the collectors edition or can't decide if they want it yet.

So later, if they decide they want it or can afford it they can buy it without having to re-buy the game.

Imagine being Randy in this industry and having to be all like "damn, Battleborn, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your wacky proportions and horrific monster faces. I would totally draw porn of you, both female characters and male." when all he really wants to do is sing another incendiary song in a game con. Like seriously imagine having to be Randy and not only sit in your ample office chair while Battleborn spouts its horrific dialog in front of you, the bigots barely going through all its many issues and shady business model, and just sit there, tweet after tweet, hour after hour, while it's patched to perfection. Not only having to tolerate its monstrous HUD but its faux-badass attitude as everyone on Gearbox tells it's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, BATTLEBORN PLAYS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch fucking gremlin faced characters contort into types of game modes you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been producing nothing but a healthy menu of FPS expansion packs and ports and later alleged Duke Nukem and Alien games for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the liberal boonies in UCLA. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on the desperation as it becomes F2P suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to not pay a dime to sit there and revel in its "hobby-grade (for that is what you call it)" co-op campaign, the campaign worked on so hard by the entire studio in the previous years. And then Burch pitches in another meme attempt, and you know you could kill every single person in the studio before building security could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Randy. You're not going to lose your future online feuds over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

End result was completely different from what was shown. Odds are they went with a simplified art style in order to make the large world possibe.

Art style?

How about the fact that the plot and writin (while not the worse thing I've seen in a shooter) isn't exactly Oscar awarding stuff and other developers have done a better job ofshowcasing the world and its characters than you guys ever could.

Maybe work on the shallow shoot and loot experience and the story and we'll talk about the art style "holding it back"

I'll always appreciate 2 things from borderlands 2.

The DLC characters (especially Kreig who was truly an interesting character to role play as)

And the villain, Handsome Jack and the fact that he's a psychotic and unforgivable, yet also tragic and somewhat relatable.

The rest is meh, the shooting and missions were shallow, the characters and atmosphere (fuck Lilith) are charming enough and the story wasn't the best and yet I think Jack really carried it for me.

I mean yeah it's just generic brown and bloom of the time, but Borderlands "art style" is a fucking ugly eyesore and I've always hated it. I'd unironically prefer some identity less no art style over Borderlands trashy comic book look.

I would be surprised if the series success was in due part to capeshitters thinking it was a le comic book game.
>>
>>389096490
How is Jack relatable and tragic in BL2? The only "tragic" thing that happens to him in that game is Angel being killed, and he'd been abusing her since before they even came to Pandora.

There's nothing in BL2 to make Jack tragic in the slightest. Even when they sort of maybe try to make him seem tragic with Angel/his wife the rug is quickly pulled away to see no he's just a jackass who basically assholed one to death and the other into eternally hating him.

It should HAVE NOT BEEN MARKETED AS A OVERWATCH COMPETITOR, WHICH IT IS NOT!

To a certain extent he's right. I can look at Battleborn and see a fuck-ass ugly game before I ever even see it's actually a shitty ASSFAGGOTS. Fire the creative directors (who were probably hired due to being Anthony Burch's friends) and hire some people who understand AESTHETICS.

It's about tone.

Bl2 is full of depressing stuff sure, but it's almost always completly mitigated by a dumb joke or pop culture reference. And despite everyone claiming how shit Pandora is, it's actually kinda nice: they have TV shows, futuristic towns, video games etc... Everyone talks as if they had normal 2010's earth style lives until Jack started ruining everything.

In Bl1 Pandora is a shithole where nothing good ever happens. They litterally say in the game that offworld ships are a rarity and they arnt in communication with anyone else. There's no TV or Radio or anything, just endless garbage and shanty towns. The humour was usually inappropriate responses to horrific things happening (usually apathetic "oh well, dumb shit" when finding out someone was dead) or dark ironic twists of fate. No one except Clap Trap was cheerful, and no one except Helena Pierce was optimistic or attempting to be productive.
>>
This just proves how much money they lost on Battleborn. Before they proudly touted their (stolen) art style as "SO STYLISH AND INNOVATIVE, IT'S JUST LIKE A COMIC BOOK", now they're mad that their successful franchise isn't CoD-big cause that would've allowed them to survive Battleborn. How long until he starts saying "DUKE NUKEM WOULD BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IF IT WASN'T SO SEXIST" because his jew-remaster bombed?

He's probably not entirely wrong. The way Borderlands has that grotesque cel-shaded visual style is the very reason I never touched it.

It's the same reason I won't touch kawaii desu anime games. I like JRPGs, and I'll gladly play ones that don't have that look, like ones that look like Final Fantasy or Lost Odyssey are just fine. But shit like Persona and Dragon Quest I won't go near because I can't stomach the disgusting style. It sucks because I'm sure they're fine games but they make my eyes bleed to look at so I just can't play them.

A completly different type of funny though. In 2 it's lol so randum humour and she's written to be autistic by Burch basically gender swapping Shelton from Big Bang Theory,

In 1 she starts out fairly normal and over the course of several years completly loses it. She starts out horrified by the violence but quickly becomes normalised to it, and starts seeing the positive side of her colleagues being eaten (" i always liked his chair").

Bl1 was "laugh because everything is so terrible and there's nothing else to do in this horrible situation filled with slightly wacky characters"

Bl2 is "laugh because we carefully constructed this joke to have a setup, punchline and make sure it referenced a movie you've seen"

Most references I remember in BL2 are actually skill names.

In fact, BL2 is the game I remember trying to be MORE serious than BL1 with dark dramatic moments like Roland dying, Angel dying and Mordekai's bird dying. It didn't exactly work for me, but I guess they tried.

You can just skip/mute dialogue and follow the objective marker... Dry writing has its place but it's a Diablo-like so the objectives are already dryy as fuck - go there, kill those, grab that, might as well spice it up.

While not all the time but sometimes a games limitations or shortcomings can improve the game. For example in Silent Hill they covered up the short render distance with a fog which ended up making it more spooky because you weren't sure what was lurking in it.

BL2 scaling was a bit too harsh for me, but BL1 was too lenient. Kind of defeats the point of having levels when a level 18 gun kills level 50+ enemies just fine.

Drop rates were proper fucked, though.

Why doesnt Randy take advantage of the fact they can use the same graphics and artstyle to guaruntee a stable 1080p 60fps on consoles, maybe make the worlds bigger with more enemies on screen? Most Xbox 360 era games still look nice on higher resolutions and not running at 20fps.

Would really help if someone said something about Lawbreakers other than "It's the Grownup's overwatch" or "it's for hardcore gamers"
The design for the game looks so generic it may as well be called FPS #1345.
It's an arena shooter with small sections where there's low gravity (i think). uhhh not much else. Also it has so very few maps.

Anyone who's played Lawbreakers actually want to say something about it?

While good games sell no matter what through a shitton of word of mouth, I think he does have a point. Borderlands is already established and the 'gamer market' is retarded. The market would preferably want prettier games over fun games and the art style is the first thing you see when people mention 'wow graphics!' While people would still buy the next iteration of Borderlands, but you'll without a doubt hear "It looks exactly the same as the others.." despite better lighting, more polys, more particles, and so on.

Borderlands is trash.

What the fuck is he complaining about? They had a realistic artstyle for Borderlands, but then moved to whatever shit they have now after seeing that animated short.

And you can still make the game look nice with the artstyle you have. It's just that Borderlands has shit modeling and low res textures across the fucking board. That has nothing to do with the style.

Supposedly Battleborn was trying to do Overwatch's shtick a few months ahead of Blizzard, and Blizz just steamrolled them with the OW open beta. In other words, BB wasn't supposed to have any competition at launch. And since the open beta was more popular, BB then got compared to it.

Are you kidding? Between 1 and 2 the whole tone went to shit. Borderlands 1 was lonely and cynical, the whole planet was a barren wasteland populated by maniacs and the dregs of civilization, kind of like Starcraft 1 meets Mad Max. It wasn't afraid to be bleak and depressing. The friendly old yokel you meet ten minutes into the game gets hanged by bandits when you leave him later on. The enemies you fought could be genuinely scary, bandits said they looked forward to your squeals as they cooked you instead of yelling at you for looking at their waifu shotgun. It only really attempted to add in "ha ha" humor in the DLC expansions.

2 went out of its way to soften things up and make everything wackier, to the point of almost completely removing the gore. Only a few elements of the original tone managed to wriggle their way to the surface, shit like pic related.

They look the same, they use the same animations, they take cover the same way, they have psychos and those big half-naked heavy weapon dudes. Maybe they have different quotes, but that's because after 100+ hours of BL1 I got tired of hearing STRIP THE FLESH SALT THE WOUND and so probably did everybody else.

Also you can play as one of those psychos if you have that one DLCs.
>>
>>389133717
>different quotes
That's what I'm talking about you dipshit, the atmosphere and tone of the two games is radically different. The writing is different. BL1 was trying to portray a mostly serious narrative with darkly comedic elements, BL2 is a gagfest that is actively trying to make you laugh. I never mentioned anything about gameplay. Now you're gonna move the goalposts and say
>well if the game itself plays the same way then there's nothing to complain about hurr
when it doesn't. I could mention the awful exponential scaling, how a character that's 2 or 3 level below an enemy and using a gun 2 or 3 levels below them will deal scratch damage. I could mention the retarded fucking item spawn ratios, how in BL1 you could consistently find purples and oranges in chests and in BL2 the only way to regularly find oranges is to farm bosses.
>>
>>389134205
>BL1 was trying to portray a mostly serious narrative
"Narrative" is story, and BL1 story is about discovering a vault that supposedly contains loot but it actually a prison for a vagina kraken. You mean setting, and you're wrong because it's still not half as dark and serious as you are imagining it to be. Every supporting NPC is funny in some way. Scooter is an incestuous redneck, Zed is a crazy bad doctor, Marcus is a Jew. Your first "serious challenge" is a guy with 3 balls (as his calling card says) who is called Nine-Toes because he dropped his unique pistol on his foot and clipped his toe, so now he has two pet skags named after toes. It's fucking ridiculous.

The art style is probably the reason it even got as far as it did, how about you fix the broken gameplay where literally every single weapon can only be gotten from chests instead of enemies like other, more normal, hack-and-slash RPG's?

Borderlands 1 was realistically as dark as that sort of world should be, bandits attacking Fyrestone talk about wanting to rape a residents wife within the first 5 minutes of playing the game, Borderlands 2 completely drops that realism and tried to be too funny, making the game annoying to replay after hearing the same jokes 10 times.
I have a feeling Borderlands 3 will be the nail in the coffin for the series.

I like how the murdering, raping, degenerate, left over filth of humanity was allowed to act as such in BL1. The "Roid Rage" Psycho miniboss alone looked and sounded like someone who was kept as a pet chained up in a filthy basement somewhere, only being fed steroids and corpses between "for the hell of it" beatings.
>>389133717
I got sick of the lines from the bandits in BL2 after my first playthrough. The combat chatter in BL1 doesn't age because it's not meant to be a joke. With BL2 is hearing the same mildly amusing joke over and over and over again, and being sick of it by the time you get halfway through the game. It's not just like this for the bandits either. The nightmare inducing death screams of Lance Soldiers beats Hyperion Engineers playing the "whipped employee" lines like they work for Mr. Burns in an episode of the Simpsons clearly has a vast difference in shelf life.

Yeah, he's right, but it's also a redundant truism. Any and every design decision puts a "success ceiling" on any given product. By deciding to make an FPS game you're already limiting yourself to an FPS audience, for example.

The games sold around 20 million units combined. How much more popular does he think any loot&shoot game could possibly be, cartoonish style or otherwise?

I think Randy's life goal is to be universally liked. That's all. He hates so much but hides it behind a smile because he wants to believe people like him.
His biggest regret in life will always be that more people hate him then they care about him. He probably looks at his family, welcoming and embracing, but it's not enough. Maybe his kid doesn't laugh at a joke, the wife ignores a comment, and inside there's nothing but blistering anger rising.

Shooters have a sort of innovation that seems required for popularity. The zone-based, 4p co-op is about ready to be matched by ~40p free roam.

You couldn't avoid performance issues if you ran it on a modern day super computer
I had a top end computer in 2011 and once we got to beta minecraft I could maybe play an hour or two before too many mobs spawn and the game locks up my machine

Vinyl is popular again. Peddling video game MP3s on a polyvinyl chloride dinner plate is cash money. Just look at iam8bit and Sunset Riders - a plain 10 inch record going at about $1 a minute of emulated tunes.

Pretty sure it's guns that are in the way of really good gameplay though. The main path there is mobility (just check out the CoD trend, or why an original Battlefront is so much of a shooting-fighting-game).. maybe (because of Bungie) multiplayer.

Guns are fun too with a decent bullet velocity and firerate though .. class uniqueness.
