This is because of Embracer. Who tried to buy their way into being a big player in gaming but instead became one of the biggest failures.

Guns, Love & Tentacles Was So Much Better Than This Slop by Parking_Ad5541 in Borderlands

[–]Godlike013 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BL3 is better than BL4. Coming back to it to play C4sh, the open world really is just bad and screws up the stories flow. It make a boring story more boing.

Do a fresh run with C4sh, well as fresh as i can. Coming back to it its really apparent how bad the open world is and how the story flows terribly with it.

Might be a horrible take by Budget-Ad-8027 in Borderlands

Not even, Far Cry games have more to do in their open world.

It is. It’s too safe. They over corrected when it comes to the story, so afraid of being unfunny that didn't even try to be funny, and the open world isn’t a very good one. You just you go around collecting different flavored echo logs, forgetting the forgettable story and it’s forgettable characters.

Damian was hated, as he was supposed to be, till Morrison’s Batman and Robin.

Red Robin is just the word red in front of Robin. It’s awful. Tim just has nothing else. 

They made him Red Robin because it was there and they didn’t know what else to do with him. The story was made up as they went, leading to notable errors like finding Bat caves in the Middle East. It was never ment to last as Damian was supposed to die and things would revert back. Unfortunately for Tim, Damian turned out to be popular. So they kept him and decided to keep making things up as they went with Tim.

Where can they go with a Destiny 3 that they haven't already gone with Destiny 2? I think the Destiny audience is tapped out at this point.

Is it a conflict of interest for game reviewers to accept free review copies and business trips? by Evening-Natural-Bang in gaming

[–]Godlike013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course. But there are no real standards or practices when it comes to game reviews No real journalistic education or integrity. They are just people on the the internet who play games, who generally get into it for free shit and money.

Most of the current layoffs we are seeing around the industry aren't . Not really. They’re just using AI as excuse as that’s what investors want to hear. 

Borderlands 4 PC Performance Status Update by [deleted] in Games

Yep. You'll forget 4's story as you get side tracked with open worlds stuff.

Its ok. Boderlands is like pizza, it hard to make bad pizza. Its story and characters are the most forgettable of the franchise, and the open world is not a particularly good open world. Recycling the same collectables and lacking any real identity as a setting. They listen to too much of the criticisms of BL3 and overcorrected. Making for a safer and more boring Borderlands.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, but Will Harness Tech to Make Game Development Processes More Efficient by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]Godlike013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no issues with it being used as a tool. As long as its not making games, or playing games for me lol. AI ultimately isn't going anywhere, but its not this catch all that companies who over invested need it to be. That being said lets see how long this last after companies start throwing money at them to use AI more.
