lol I don't mind if a game tries to make a statement, so long as it's a good game, that I'm having fun with. Far Cry 5 and Horizon Zero Dawn are perfect examples.
But they absolutely don't have to. |

I don't think a game has to make a statement.

Isn't quality storytelling like the biggest flaw of David Cage's games? Its why few people ever take whatever he says or hypes up for his grand plans for games seriously.
Only people I think are comparable are Peter Molyneux and Gearbox's Randy Pitchford when it comes to not believing what they say about games and their goals for them. |

This isn't about story-telling. The author is doing what other critics said about Far Cry 5; he wants his ideology confirmed and therein shoved down everybody else's throats. He'd give it a GotY nod while it tanks with user critics, cause these weirdos operate under a post-standard ideal.
Oddly enough, I would have assumed this game would dive in the subject matter considering the themes involved. Guess I read Cage wrong. |

Yeah, Heavy Rain.
Borderlands 2 has like 12 polygons. Garbage. Barely any emotions at all. |

Looking forward to playing this game, a videogame is a text just as much as a movie or book is so the author has creative control over it.. a book can "make a statement" or just be entertainting just like a videogame can. Idiots like Kalyx will tell you that you should villify someone for sharing their beliefs in his sacred videogames though

Guess Destor, Figgy and UM just can't appreciate an excellent game that happens to literally have a diamond horse who is a queen and can save the world simply by being fed 5 pieces of priceless Eridium. SMH.

The tale tell borderlands game was much better than borderlands itself

Tales From the Borderlands ("the 'tale tell' [Telltale] borderlands game")will always have a special place in my heart though. Also if you really think that, especially re 2, you haven't played the game. The story, the gameplay, the characters (especially Damien Clark, who turned in an Oscar-worthy performance as Handsome Jack), the setting and levels, the humor, the loot (flawed as some of it is), the vault hunters each with their own skill trees - there's too much there for a MMOROGFPS game fan NOT to love. I'm sure I'm not changing any minds but my love of the 2 main entries in the series will never die. |

Playing borderlands bored me to tears. And I'm still entertained by Destiny.

I played the entirety of BL1 & 2 and found them both incredibly mediocre in every conceivable way.

Enjoyed Borderlands 2 but only got through like half of the first game. Playing them in reverse order made it more aparent how the small changes done for the 2nd game made it way more enjoyable.

As for 2, if you're truly done with it forever, fine. However, I'll just say that IMHO I think you're doing yourself a bit of a disservice if you can't bring yourself to see the ending on Normal with at least one VH. BL2 ending: SPOILER: show |

I caught Xavier Woods doing a walk through on his channel and thought it looked interesting so I shelled out the money and bought it. Great game, great story, great everything. Graphics are so real that my dog was freaking out thinking that Chloe (menu character) was in the house.
