I really liked Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and the presequel, so I am hoping for a fun Borderlands 3 as well.

I hope that one day the season pass for borderlands pre sequel will be about as cheap as the season pass stuff for borderlands 2 so I can get the cool looking dlc character who can freeze people

I wish the capcom jojo part 3 game was available on steam.



I also wish that ZZ was a playable character in it because it'd be fun to beat up other people as a car.

More fighting games need to let you beat up people as cars. What was that one fighting game where you can play as a racecar and it just walks around on its back wheels while punching with its front wheels?

Fighting Vipers I think, you could play as the Daytona USA car.
edit: I was wrong, it was Fighters Megamix

I played the Jojo capcom fighter back when it came out on PS1, back when I didn't know what it was or that it was based on an existing property but I'd just play any capcom fighting game.
I remember thinking it wasn't that bizarre at all, just kind of dull.

It adds a bunch of bad mini-games to the single-player mode, but the PS1 was awful at 2D stuff and barely ran ports CPS-2 games with half the frames of animation missing and Jojo was on the then newer CPS-3 board. It had ridiculous amount of animation and other stuff going on on screen that the PS1 couldn't hope to cope with so it's blocky, ugly and slow.

Gearbox is a bad company that has done some real lovely things, such as funding their own games with money meant for development of other games and those games ending up poo poo rushjobs as a result, and is headed by a moron. I'm glad you're as psyched as I am for them hopefully going out of business!

I hope Gearbox does ok and makes some good games again because from what all I've heard from people who work there it's a great place to work and the people who work there would like to keep working there. I also hope they succeed because it's just healthier for the games industry.

See, it's also ok to not give a poo poo about corporations' contract disputes between each other and hope that they find better times and practices and succeed again.

I think it's hard to disassociate some of Gearbox's scummier business practices like literally siphoning money away from Colonial Marines' development to fund Borderlands 2, or releasing a barely retouched Bulletstorm remaster from 2011 at full price.

Ok, sure, but that's a different discussion from "I gleefully hope hundreds of people lose their jobs that they like and need". There's room for nuance here.

Well I think when most people say "I hope Gearbox goes under" they're hoping for an end to the Randy Pitchford show and not actually hoping the developers who work hard on these games lose their jobs (although Gearbox has done a good enough job doing that by themselves).

Pitchford has never not looked nervous and sweaty and jittery, as if he knows he's in danger of his bullshit being found out. He looked like he was going to poo poo himself when he was showing off the highly apologetic Borderlands 3 "tech demo" which made me laugh because it reeked of "please, please God loom forward to Borderlands 3 we made a mistake and will go back to making something we're good at."

He should take some lessons from Todd Howard who is the all-time loving king of bullshit. Telling people Fallout had like 600 endings or something was loving hilarious and "everything just works" is one of my favorite quotes ever, maybe. Todd Howard owns.

Yeah, my point is that those are the same thing. Like, when you say "I sincerely can't wait for Gearbox to fail and shut down" you may be picturing Randy Pitchford, but you also are picturing hundreds of people and their families too.

Gearbox opened a secondary studio in Quebec around about a year ago. They're probably doing better than you'd expect from their recent string of flops. The benefits of saving up all that Half-Life and Borderlands money, I guess...

I hope that sci-fi Souls game on PS4 ends up being pretty good. The Surge I think? The gameplay looks kind of neat but by all accounts Lords of the Fallen was a mixed bag at best.

I understand the mindset that real people with real lives to live are impacted when the companies that employ them maybe do dubious poo poo or feel they deserve culpability for their poor output/performance and maybe we should consider that before throwing it all under the bus. At the same time that is the same mindset that allowed Scrubs Season 9 to happen which was given the excuse of "well if we didn't have that season we wouldn't have been able to keep paying the writers/crew".

I hope things get better for Gearbox. Borderlands games are fun. Bulletstorm for $60 is silly, and people will either buy it or not. The Aliens thing is a mess and the 2 massive corporations will work it out in court. All I'm saying is that it's messy and maybe don't gleefully wish for the destruction of dozens of lives? Like, maybe you don't have to be excited about the idea? Maybe you can hope they do better instead of just fail and take everyone down with them?

I get that I'm weird insofar as I work in the industry who's destruction I see people actively wishing for. So yeah, I take it a bit personally when people leave the human component out.

Counterpoint: he can, and he did. Intent matters.

Yes, those lives would be affected, but surely you realize that him saying he doesn't like gearbox and wishes they'd go out of business does not have the same kind of malicious intent as wishing for hundres of people to lose their occupations. If you treat them as being one and the same, unable to exist without the other, then you end up with arguments like this.
