It would be like a Sam's Choice Mad Max. Are you guys saying we don't need more Mad Max style movies?

Duke Nukem is a weird choice for a movie seeing as he has no real character except stealing lines from other movies.

Like marketing 101 should be "Don't release an incredibly similar game to one Blizzard is also releasing at the exact same time."

Battleborne got utterly shat on, you can buy new copies for £4.50 or £1 used on Amazon, I don't think I've ever seen a game tank that hard that fast

Iron Crowned posted:I'm surprised Aliens: Colonial Marines didn't tank them They survived Colonial Marines because they barely spent any money on it -- they took all the money Sega kept paying them and used it to finance Borderlands 2's development, while offloading Colonial Marines to TimeGate (all the while telling Sega, "Yeah, it's going great! We can't wait to show you the next build!"). And, of course, TimeGate had to close its doors almost immediately after Colonial Marines tanked, because they used all their cash to make the game. Gearbox also made a pretty decent chunk of change from the Homeworld re-releases and that Deserts of Whatever spin-off from a few years ago. They're an impressively scummy company.

Their most recent thing was actually a re-release of Bulletstorm in which they shoehorned in a mode where you play as Duke Nukem but nothing else changes.

Borderlands 1 & 2 both are riddled with flaws they could've easily avoided. It's like they barely playtested them. 20 minute opening scene that's unskippable in a game designed to be replayed? Seriously? About to see The Mummy now, keen to see if it matches what I'm expecting

Halo PC is the only good thing Gearbox has ever done, and even then all they did was add a bunch of maps and the rocket 'Hog. gently caress Borderlands, I can't imagine how irritating Claptrap hijinx would be for two solid hours.

Homeworld Remastered came out pretty nice, the multiplayer balance patch trainwreck notwithstanding. Deserts of Kharak too even though multiplayer was DOA.

A Duke Nukem movie should just rip off Jay ans Silent Bob: Duke arrives back on earth after the events of DNF. Finds out Trump is president and gets pissed he ripped off his shtick to get elected. Rest of the movie is him road tripping to DC to demand a cut of the action.

basic hitler posted:people really do like borderlands They liked Borderlands. Not present tense, past tense. Pre-Sequel, the DNF and Colonial Marines and Bulletstorm debacles, and Pitchford just generally being one of the worst people in gaming have all pretty much turned everyone against the series and Gearbox as a whole. I legit don't think I've met a Borderlands fan in a good long while.

Wait, what's the Bulletstorm debacle? Is it just that it's $60 for a re-release? Because Bulletstorm rules and is absolutely worth that price, and it's not like anyone bought it the first time around anyway.

It was a $60 re-release with literally nothing new except the Duke campaign (which is incredibly lazy and lovely) and they left people who did buy it the first time (cough) completely out in the cold. I don't think you even get a discount for owning the original. What really twists the knife is, last I checked, the original is unplayable on PC due to GFWL going down. (Also, the original Bulletstorm went on steam sale for like $5 very very often, you'd be surprised how many people bought it.) e: To compare to other similar re-releases, the Bioshock Remastered games show up in your library for free without even an opt-in if you own the originals, and ditto Skyrim Special Edition.

Like it's one thing to play it twice to find things you missed, or once a year or so, but when that's all you do it's just  to me, like don't you people enjoy anything else?

Bulletstorm is a great great great game and I'm glad more people will have a chance to play it now even if it's a bit steep to be charging $59.99 for it, that price will change fast. There were three things that annoyed people about the release, in order from least to most severe: 1) It was released for $59.99 when it's an HD port of a six year old game. 2) The hyped new addition of playing as Duke Nukem ended up being $5 DLC on top of dropping $60 on an old game and its literally just a Duke Nukem character model in the regular single player game. 3) Gearbox partnered with G2A to distribute some special versions of the game which is basically a big scam website. It's a site that sells discounted keys for games that are discounted because they're pirated/fraudulently obtained from people scamming gift cards and stuff. Gearbox was somehow not aware of this when they partnered with them.

I didn't replay it a ton, but had a few guys I played with regularly and it made the game way better in almost every way. Then item injectors came out and dungeon crawling became unnecessary and it was just a "load up for 15 minutes and kill a boss for fun" game.

Anthony Burch is a good dude and I'm glad he got the gently caress away from Gearbox that said the whole Tiny Tina being racist thing always kind of threw me off, like I was too busy wanting the character to die painfully and horribly to even notice that she was using AAVE honestly
