Nowadays might say Tales from the Borderlands is the best Borderlands videogame.
Maybe there is a takeaway there before they continue.

Fourth time is the charm. Let's see if they finally make the game shoot good.
Seeing Battleborn footage, seems they haven't.

Hey. Slag should be gone, but the oxygen mechanic, the stomp, double/boost jump, slow fall, all that shit was great. I thought the mechanic would be shitty but it really added a lot of much needed depth to the gameplay. The laser weapons and cryo damage were also amazing.

Good. They'll need this after Battleborn fails to live up to expectations.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Best thing about Borderlands 2 was all the shit handsome jack would say.
Though yeah am seriously hoping they up their game with the gunplay as that is seriously lacking.

They need to recoup Battleborn's loses somehow.
I'll get this and play it with my girlfriend just like the last 2.

I ended up only using that moxxi lasergun the whole time, there is no need to use anything elae lol

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Oh man, how true. If only you knew the half of it, haha the things I've heard...
Anyway, I wonder if the series goes in the direction of destiny/division sooner or later. It just makes the most sense.

Huh, guess he's one of the good ones.

Get the writing team from Tales From The Borderlands, and make Fiona and Rhys (and maybe Loaderbot) playable characters, and I am sold.
Its gonna be difficult to top Handsome Jack with a new villain. He set the bar waaaaay too high. Get the writing team of both Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands on it.
I hope they take a lesson from Battleborn with giving each character more than one ability. If its the same boring "Each class with 1 ability and barely any synergy" its gonna get pretty stale quickly. Give me some pure support character to play as in co-op. Give me many, many, many more abilities to mix and match with to create a interesting build.
The Pre-Sequel kinda killed the mood overall for Borderlands in my group but if BL3 looks interesting enough, then maybe.

If they go the MMO route you'll make your own character.

Yes that gun is super op for a lot of the game. lol
I think maybe Wilhelm gets the bonus laser damage skills? It's even more nuts with that.

Something tells me we won't be hearing that phrase...
Please, just give me Rhys and Sasha being adorable together. And Fiona. And Vaughn. And Loaderbot. In fact, give me Tales from the Borderlands 2.
I hope not, characters having their own personalities and identities was a lot of fun in previous entries.
Maybe some kind of hybrid approach where the campaign still uses characters but you can make your own for adventure mode/endgame/NG+ stuff.

Yeah I hope we get two action abilities at least that we can switch through.

damn, i didn't even realize this. i hope they go back to borderlands 1 style writing (not even particularly good, just not hitting you over the head with a constant stream of references and memes) .

I would be pissed if they took the MMO route. The combat already feels a little bit too underdeveloped and the writing is already questionable, and transferring to an MMO format will probably require significant downgrades in both departments. Also, MMO development would be really expensive, and I don't think Gearbox has that kind of money.

It would be a Destiny/Division like MMO. The way 2 and The Pre-Sequel ended it's looking to be the next logical step.

Good! The only game I want from them. Battleborn just sucks.

I'd die of happiness, the Borderlands endgame is seriously lacking in both 1 and 2 imo.
It really is. The fact that it also takes for-fucking-ever to level a new character to max doesnt help at all.

Why? That wasn't made by the main team.
Awe yisss.
And I hope they are learning what does and doesn't work from the previous BL titles and other games as well.

Interested to see if they can make Fiona not broken

All I want to know is if it's hobby grade.
Fiona as one of the 4 playable vault hunters, hopefully! O: Or maybe she'll be one of the dlc vault hunters. D:
Would like to see more on the Rhys/Sasha thing, too.
Hope Gaige, Krieg and the other BL2 dlc characters show up in the story as well! or better yet, they make gaige a playable vault hunter again

I bet pickle will be a playable character!
Yes. Rhys, Fiona and/or Loaderbot and I'm super sold.
I'm sold regardless...unless the involvement of the Battleborn dude shifts the art direction significantly, I'm in.
They would be crazy not to add those two in BL3.
Lol don't even play.

Honestly the first thing I think of when I hear Borderlands 3, is how they will they do that front cover.

All I demand is Tannis as her usual self and not being killed for some bullshit reasons.
I think the mechanics could really stand for an update. Some sort of user driven gear customization and a decoupling of some of the RPG and shooting mechancis.
Regardless of any of this I will buy it of course.

I enjoyed 1 and 2 (never played pre-sequel) but I feel like they really need to bring something new to the table with 3. The loot system really needs an overhaul. I have a feeling it will just be a copy and paste from the previous ones with maybe larger areas and, to me, that's not good enough.

I really hope not. 2 was a refinement already and I didn't even bother with the Pre-Sequel until now despite loving 2. I'm hoping they seriously expand things, they can't afford not to without getting slammed imo

fucking THANK YOU
what kind of monster does that
Not only is melee simple as all hell, but you don't get any melee weapons when meanwhile there's a "gajillion guns". I don't get it.
