Off-topic review bombing (read: previous Borderlands games on Steam). Really? That's the best these people can come up with?

 

Also Randy Pitchford's reaction to said review bombing. I can't tell who's more immature: the review bombers or Randy.

I will always put the CEO to a higher expectation of "maturity" and such over any of the company's customers.

We don't know who those posting reviews (bombing) (new term.. who comes up with these.. it seems like I have to learn new terms each week) 

 

If I acted in any way like some of these self entitled CEOs of gaming companies, lying, acting immature etc at my place of work, I'd be fired the very next day. Same day if I was still at work. It is inexcusable. People might make mistakes (like the Diablo phone comment) due to pressure at the time but acting immature or being hostile back.. WTF..Seriously?

I'm still trying to figure out what was good about Borderlands 2.

Sure, but when the introduction to BL2 gunplay incorporated the deletion of an entire (DAMN GOOD) BL1 gun co. in favor of "Hurr Durr" (Ableist, much?) Raider weapons... And the completely cancerous bullshit-inspired "weapons chest" based upon Social Media point accruation.

 

I realized, then and there, that Gearbox had jumped the shark

I thought the characters they brought in were hilarious. Like Tiny Tina or Handsome Jack, even the characters from BL1 had more of a personality and fit their persona. They also improved the guns in fun ways (given you got to max level and grind enough) The levels were kinda fun (scavenger hunt) with the added bad-ass tokens, which carried over to any new character you created, so it made you motivated to make new characters and earn more tokens.  Kinda like what SexLab Leveling does for me, it forces/motivates me to have sexual relations with the entire population of Skyrim, so I can max out armor, elemental resistances, dmg potential, and reduce mana use.

 

I didn't much like The Pre-Sequel, I played it a bit but just didn't have the same feelings BL-2 had. Just something "meh" about it. 

I think it was the fact that Gearbox removed the ability to farm bosses for legendary drops is what really made the game really, "meh."  I know that's largely the reason I stopped playing the game.  They patched that eventually but the fact they made a vanilla system of, "if the boss doesn't drop the legendary/pearlescent, lol...SUCKS TO BE YOU," was kind of a bullshit move on their part.  It took an outcry from Steam users and thousands of emails of vitriol to make them realize, "Uh we done fucked up yo."

AND it seems they never learned from that.  A lot of friends who loved Borderlands and Borderlands 2 are not touching Borderlands 3 until it comes to all platforms.  I can't blame them.  I'll use this opportunity to warn people about the Epic Games Launcher; it scans the API in your Steams folder to get an idea of what games you play AND it adds malware equivalent to a 3 day binge in watching Porn Hub.  My advice; STAY THE HELL AWAY!!!

After hearing it is more multiplayer focused, i don't really care. Especially since 2 crashes as regularly as a Bethesda game.

 

Pre-sequel was fun due to the low-gravity gameplay and the Stingray.

Though why was the arena "Shock Drop Slaughter Pit" instead of "Miss Moxxi's Low-G Spot"

Gaming urnalists whining about Sekiro needing an "easy mode" and using people with disabilities as a platform to "demand" such even though those same disabled people are telling them to STFU and just get better at the game. This is what "safetyism" creates! Entitled, cowardly-as-sin little SJWs who can't handle any sort of challenge. Especially if that challenge is one that shakes their self-delusions of being good at something.

Just make sure to use an adblocker when visiting their sites. The sooner most of the current "gaming" journalist sites #LearnToCode the better the gaming community will be. They offer little more than whining when a game doesn't cater to their politics or their complete incompetence as supposed gamers.

Having an easy mode for games such as Sekiro is like having an easy configuration for Rubik's Cubes as the skill test that they provide is the main point of the game design, not the story which is ultimately set dressing. 

Just like Rubik's Cubes (or similar puzzles), one can always use a guide if one wants an easier time figuring it all out.

Easy mode lets my disabled daughter play more stuff. Those other disabled people don't speak for her. I'll play on easy mode if my wrists are hurting, usually from working .

Let me rephrase that: physically disabled people, like the famous @RealYungCripp on Twitter, a paraplegic who beat the game without cheating. Watch this video at 7:34 to 9:58 to hear him ripping on the people who whine about wanting an "easy mode."

 

Here is a man who has struggled all his life, who accepts that life is hard, who can beat Seikiro without cheating and he tells off those people who want an easy mode. Cretins using those just like him as their platform. These entitled little fucks who have never known real hardship are using the less fortunate as a platform for their own wants.

Tries to think of a quip about Sekiro being a baby game but realizes I never played it.

 

I remember playing one of the Touhou games on easy and it was hard as balls. I played the first Darksouls and it was easy by comparison. Easy mode shouldn't be that hard to program but the game rights belong to the developers and their vision. There is nothing wrong or new about fans (yes I'm calling game journalists fans) crying out for an easy mode.

 

As one last point, what disabled people really want is accessibility not an easy mode you dumdum journalist.

They really took something away from the "magic" of the original by doing that, since the original was such an homage to Diablo II, albeit with guns.

 

Farming bosses. Farming chests. In a kick ass dune buggy.

 

They even made the dune buggy less kick ass (IMO) but it's been years now since I've played.

Oh, please. This guy doesn't speak for my daughter, and she isn't speaking for him. I'm going to say this again, easy mode makes it possible for my daughter to enjoy games. This isn't competition for who has it worse. Neither does this have anything with dealing with the real world.

 

If this guy wants to play a harder game, no one gives a fuck. I'm certainly not going to be guilted into silence by this sjw tactic, and no one should be guilted out of wanting easy mode. 

 

The fucking technology is there for everyone to play at whatever they want. If you want extreme difficulty settings, then say so, instead of whining about those who want easy mode. For fucks sake, I'm using a mod that tweaks the difficulty level values to whatever you want. The game designers can do the same and everyone can be happy. 

 

This guy is not the final word for those with disabilities, or for those who want the option to not abuse their wrists, no matter how bad his condition is. He isn't qualified to speak for the many forms of disabilities there are.

I've seen it suggested elsewhere that the real reason they are whining is they want to be able to churn out reviews/articles as fast as possible with the minimum required effort, so if the game is not ridiculously easy (and thus they can't breeze through it in a single evening), they don't like it. The part about people with disabilities is just a cover, because "we want to make more $$$ in less time and with even less effort" would sound bad.

 

Not sure how much truth there is to it, but good ol'greed and sloth sound more reasonable to me than just "damn entitled SJWs ruining everything". Not that the latter don't exist, mind you, but I don't really think it's as prevalent as this would imply. Just my two cents, though.

This. This sooo much. I don't get all the fuzz about Discord. I've barely used it, so I can't say much about it outside of "it works as an Skype subsitute", but everybody and their mother seem to be obsessed with getting people into their server for some reason I cannot seem to grasp. What's so good about it that it's worth all that hassle?

That's because you most likely don't play a game in real time which demands actual, fresh information that immediately rots when you are unsure what to do. Since Bethesda's pogrom on UI mods in Fallout 76, a multiplayer game w/o any (actually usual) text chat, the whole in-game p2p trading runs parallel to the game almost exclusively on Discord. Same is given for the launch announcements of nukes on the servers that provide the players with temporarily mutated plants for harvesting and high level enemies that drop high quality loot on ground zero. Without Discord, the Fallout 76 community is proverbially blind... and deaf. So Discord is, at least for the time being, an enforced necessity for some among us to terminate the silence of the lambs...

This is more believable, and it's a bs reason. That's not how to play a game and misrepresent it in a review. Ease of access should be meant to help someone play the game as it should and enjoy it.

You mean playing a game that require communication with... other people? Yeah, we I don't do that here, lol.

 

Long gone are the days where I actually played multiplayer games with other people and had the need to communicate in such a way, as now the Nine have cursed me with friends that only play MP games I dislike so much they are not worth playing even for the sake of doing so with other real humans. Guess that's why I didn't know about it.
