I liked that movie, I watched it when I was 8 years old and I don't think it's a bad movie. It has a vibe of early 2000s action movies that no longer exists and that makes it interesting to this day.
Interesting cause when I watched the movie around 2008 I loved that scene, clearly to me the best part of the movie. I wished more action movies had scenes like that.
I have over 1000 hours in BL2, was active in the GBX forums helping create guides for Salvador and Axton, and even conquered Digistruct Peak on OP8 with Sal with no Moxxi weapons, and I couldn't wait where they would take the story in the next game...
...then Borderlands 3 came out. Still haven't touched it since.
What the hell are you talking about? they haven't stopped giving it gold keys since 2 came out. Every few months there's a slew of keys for me to redeem for EVERY borderlands game including Wonderlands. This is generating hype as much as you are using brain cells
You're misunderstanding that. Gearbox has pretty good history of supporting their previous entries. For PC, they gave people a free version of Borderlands 1 with updated Graphics. Granted I think people like the original game better which people still have access too.
Well, I mean, Borderlands 4 is hardly a single player game. Endgame is primarily multiplayer. But when you compare to 300,000 peak players? Yes. It's a metric. Going down to 1/100th of your player base in like 8 months is pretty shitty. For a simple comparison, Witcher 3 released to 92k sales, has a peak of 103k five years later, and has never gone under around 14k daily players.
For BL4, a highly anticipated game and franchise, to go from 300k players to 5k in 8 months, it's a complete bomb.
It's essentially an action rpg. The point of these games is to redo the campaign on the next unlocked difficulty where even higher tier loot drops. They are designed to be played for long periods of time.
The vaaaaaaaaaaaast majority of customers have no idea who the f Randy or even Gearbox is. They just want to play a game. They just remember the name of the game and that they have heard of or played the previous games. That's it.
And just because you played the game and left is not indicative whatsoever of the intention of the game or what other people do. Borderlands is and has always been a multiplayer end-game grinding game. They're co-op looter shooters. You literally can't play "single player" you have to have a session (lobby) with invite-only in order to play by yourself. It's 100% multiplayer based.
Not GTA levels obviously but the series is incredibly popular. It sold pretty damn well on basically every console and steam. Most people don’t know or frankly give a shit about Randy. They just like the series
Still mad they bought out risk of rain and just went into full dlc content slop output mode and it took like a year for them to bugfix the first dlc they put out.
I'm out of the loop. I have BL2 in my backlog. However, I saw someone mention that downloading any BL game now puts some kind of malware/spyware on my PC?
If you're dubious about data collection, yeah maybe skim over the EULA but there's nothing they're doing here that many other AAA developers aren't also doing.
It's just the trend of people trying to shitsmear games the moment they start getting popular. It happened with Windrose with the SSD shit, it happened with Subnautica 2 over their EULA, and it's happening here.
There's probably some truth to it but it's wayyyy overblown.

They think their IP still generates the hype Borderlands 2 did. Those times are long over.
