Nah. It's an FPS and it should remain one.
Less misunderstanding and more blatant lying.
I'm in. I've played every Borderlands game with my wife, this will be no exception. With an original PS4 in the house and a Pro, this also means we can play on separate consoles and get the full screen for real estate.
Though that does make me wonder if they will be including LAN options the way games in the past did.

I played 1 & 2 and liked them both, although I preferred Mordecai as my character than any of the options in 2.
I'll probably play this as well, as long as they don't fuck it up. I wish Destiny's skill tree was as fun as Borderlands'.

I think I'd actually drop the games if this happened.

Just be funny, and not boring.
Aka, don't be like the Pre-sequel.

I hope she doesn't.
The guns shoot where you aim at. That alone is a great, astonishing thing in these modern times.
Totally unlike, say, Destiny. No aim magnetism, no bullet magnetism, no idontknowwhatelse. Such "helpful" "features" are actively abrasive to me. Borderlands gundplay has always been good.

Yes please and the writers from that game too. Please.
Yup, a direct sequel to TFTB would be great

Assault on Dragon Keep was the only bl2 dlc I never actually finished.

But you missed Buttstallion! Handsome Jack's diamond pony that poops weapons! IT POOP WEAPONS, MAN!

I like all of these thing. Well, only the humour in BL2, it was bad in BL1 and TPS.
I can't understand anyone hating the art style. It's too bad it was plagiarized, because it's one of the best part of the games.

Sounds like it was a good decision on my part.

The pony thing was dumb, but Tiny Tina's DLC was loads of fun, one of the best DLCs ever made actually.

It was the only dlc I did in ng+ and the skeleton lord things were gigantic bullet sponges out of nowhere and I never went back to it.
Actually never finished the claptrap pre-sequel dlc because of the last boss either

God's had his chance.
Sword build Zer0s were fun though...
Till you fight a boss and just switch over to guns.
Then you realize they buffed kunai so hard it's pointless playing anything else.
Take unforgiven out for one last joyride. Delete game.
Can't wait for 3...hope it's borderworlds for sure

I remember being hyped about Zer0 when I first saw the character (played as Mordecai on BL1) then I saw the actual build options... meh. With the exception of the support guy, I feel like BL1 had better characters/builds.
In any case I agree: get rid of melee characters.

Brick and Zer0 bored me so much. I just stuck to the sirens, which kept me interested just long enough to beat the story mode and each DLC for both games. Then they put out Krieg and I dumped hundreds of hours into BL2. I was addicted, and the over the top screaming and craziness of Krieg was the main reason why. Though I only played melee for a while initially, then switched over to a Hellborn build with Flame of the Firehawk. Set myself on fire, ran around like a maniac, AoE fire going everywhere, and spraying a fire SMG bullet hose at anything that moved. Then they removed the long-winded ranting when you're on fire and it became less fun, but still the best playable character in either of the games.

I don't even want fans to talk about this game, I want it released yesterday goddamnit. The wait is killing me. I want to forget it exists until it's released. lol

Hehe, that does sound fun. I never tried the extra characters in the second game, but I really prefer sniper/long distance builds, which is why I loved Mordecai/Bloodwing.
I get that AoE builds are very valuable and people like them because they're useful for solo'ing but I don't like getting in the middle of a bunch of enemies unless I have a devastating attack to clear the room. Otherwise I tend to get stuck when surrounded and die.
Anyway, as long as BL3 has a good sniper class/build, I'll be there eventually. I'm still playing through Destiny with a friend but we loved BL1 & 2 so we wouldn't mind some more.
Wishlist of obvious improvements:
No load times, seamless moving between areas.
Planet hopping? Or at least more varied environments (BL2 improved this).
More vehicles. Mechs and airborne vehicles if possible. Also, remove the limitation of spawning vehicles in specific spots.
Bigger bosses.
BL2 had terrible drops (at least I seem to remember that), so improve drops and loot. If I kill a boss I want a kickass gun as a reward. Make it so I can switch to a better weapon at least every couple of hours.
Keep the skill tree as varied and fun as it's been so far. Don't fuck it up.

BL2 did that for me when the humor felt like a kid peeing himself intentionally to get a laugh. Tried waaaaay to hard.
The guns also didn't scale well, at least at launch (maybe fixed with DLC or patches?) because no decent gun would stay that way for long. A good loot game lets you feel like a god for awhile before outdating your gear.
And if anything like that damn horse is around, I will not buy it.

Zer0 was really fun but I never bothered with the melee tree/build. Never did in these games, they're about all the looted guns after all.

Part of me hopes that they just rip a lot of the abilities from Battleborn and let you create your own class. Also the boss fights in Battleborn are way more interesting than anything they did before so I'm hopeful that their mission design and combat encounters see some improvement.

It was basically, do fire dmg to something and it sets me on fire. That burns my shield down. The shield I used, once depleted would, repeatedly do AoE fire bursts. Being on fire keeps the shield depleted and pulsing, and increases magazine size and rate of fire. So now I'm firing super fast, with a huge magazine in a fire SMG, and AoE fire pulses. They key to this all is that any fire damage I deal heals me.
Yep. I played a Melee build for Krieg in Borderlands 2 and the only weapon ever used was some unique weapon with a bayonet from the Pirate Booty DLC. The game gets a lot less fun when you don't have new weapons to look forward to.

I'm shocked it isn't out yet.
Are you being serious? Or is this a joke post? I cant tell.
If you are being serious then I dont think you have played many FPS or understand them very well.

Not only is Tiny Tina everything that is wrong with BL2, but it is also indicative of everything that is wrong with the writing in that game they just released that bombed.

Tiny Tina and Handsome Jack represented everything good about BL2 though.
That's the game's personality.

Tiny Tina sucked in the main game, but she was cool in the DLC. For reals.

Absolutely. I just hope they can recapture that with the writing and voice acting this time around. Key people left on the writing side.
