MODERATORS
Borderlands has always struck me as slop. Good systems but built around some of the most uninspiring design and "comedy" writing ever. I can't imagine paying $80 for that shit, I would barely consider paying 10 in a sale, maybe if my friends wanted to play it since its a coop game.
I guess that's what they're counting on. Groups of friends who will play 4 player and those groups will create social pressure to cough up the money or be left out.
Not only is it slop, the whole series identity was stolen. You may remember early footage of Borderlands looking like every other brown shooter from the late 2000s
Then at some point Randy Pitchford watched the indie short animated film Codehunters and had a great idea.
