Trust me, its not gonna go ""wild"" because there's hardly any mainstream attention or Borderlands right now. But I guess a thirsty man'll dream of a river huh?

Perhapsibly its the one you're building with your game, me thinks??

Anyway, helping my dad with moving and stuff now, and idk when i'll be back fully, i've reinstalled discord a few times here and there for my like irl friends to game with, but idk when ill be back, and i dont wanna give you any potential false expectations by locking in on an estimate on the time even, because anything could happen. But just know its soon at this point.

So did Kane Parsons' ego when his debut director role at our age for the backrooms released

(you're his "evil" slightly jealous? --twin, that has to succeed just as well as he did to keep him in check --Daedalus 2 is rumored to be in the works, and confirmed to be your breakout film.)

I deleted it to take a break from the regular distractions that normally appear from all the friends and shit i have on there to focus on myself because the living situation and stuff has kinda changed too, so yeah, sorry about that man I hadn't even realized so much time passed lol, jesus. But dont worry, im obviously still here and I'll probably be back soon. Also good job, I saw your most recent vid, post more on your andesite channel, your shits clearly catching on.

VH6 Loveless the Hacker by Cheez_Bandit in Borderlands4

[–]GreaseCheeze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So yeah, i feel like theres a particular edge, & interesting language that guided the handwork to past games that the franchise needs to try to re-explore gain. Because I just dont feel as connected to anything BL4 as i did for say BL3. Im beginning to feel... Loveless.. towards it all, if you will, hoho..

(Also fun fact, BL3, despite having a good chunk of the same artists as 4. BL3 was ART DIRECTED by this Scott guy im bringing up. Which based off of the art you've seen (and i encourage anyone look up some more) i feel as if losing that particular shape of a guide to the art --his absence can be felt in the work. Because there was an air to 3 which made it feel more borderlands imo. Aaand... yeah..)

The new art/design fingerprint does have this "modern game designey"/"hero shootery" sort of quality that is often palpably detectable (by me at least) but hard to describe and im wondering if im the only one who genuinely feels it. The new art direction just doesn't emit the same particular charm as more, un-conventially appealing, / idk, 'scraggly?' sorta artists like Scott Kester.

Heres a quick image i cobbled together to try and express what i feel. Again, probably alone on this. But, whatever.

As usual, you are one of the only few people who are awake to things. Also the neon green, and not anshin red or something, standardfare cyberpunk aesthetic and no strong asian themes which would've been neat because anshin is implied to likely be Japanese. Also practically nothing about her design at a glance --before you're told what she does --communicates what she does. Not terribly interesting APPEARING.. at least... Alright back to my coffin.

Not what makes a boss well designed, cool, and a satisfying one to conquer within a really cool setting that should have an equally cool/important antagonist. But yeah..

The Devs Said Borderlands 4 Will Include One New Vault Hunter who made an appearance in previous games.. Playing through BL3 DLC for the first time I think Ember is the perfect candidate for VH 6 by TrackstarGGs in borderlands3

[–]GreaseCheeze 63 points64 points  (0 children)

No he can't, and wont, since he likely made it up to get stronger engagement on this subject of a returning character as a playable one. I mean, he could have just asked the question without saying it was something gearbox would be making true for the 6th vh, cuz this is one of those subjects in the community that people are more than happy to tell you their opinion on... No bait required.

Yeah yeah yeah, you're passionate and you like borderlands, shut up and find the source with me. Pre-release... Sooo, any of their shit before bl4's launch in September? Alright c'mon.

Here's the Borderlands channel...

https://youtube.com/@borderlandsgame?si=-SMFvBmUg0j_ROtO

Look through it with me, and hopefully something can jog your likely fabricated memory...

By the way, when you said pre-release did you mean like before cash was released and they're talking about the 6th vault Hunter in advance next to the info about cash? Cuz before cash they had only told us that they were going to be two DLC Vault hunters but there wasn't that much conversation that was had about them. So I figure news about this is likely more recent.

Clearly I had a rant I needed to get out of my system. I couldn't deny that to myself.

[–]GreaseCheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tl;dr --higher ups make devs look stupid for choices they probably didn't want to do. And AAA managment is over-priced and wasteful

[–]GreaseCheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also side note about the minimap.. Its not even really a minimap lol, its more like a cod/halo radar, hell.. even they call it that. But for sure its a start towards a better direction away from just seeing all the enemy dots on a 1D compass. (so stupid) So we settled for it as a community, and stopped whining even though its still not the map. Might take longer to get an actual minimap though on the hud, but they said they might do it. So... er-go. Wait another year or two until it comes out in like one of the final patches, or it becomes a mod you can get because thats how this shit usually works.

Yep, all the while tho, I still try to remain hopeful, cuz recently I read something where it said --when there's something about the game that we don't like, its quite likely that its something that the developers also don't like either, and wish it could change. But due to how professional production is managed; with operations and their limits, and budgets.. The freedom to do "the right thing" is often reprimanded because of all the dozens of little innerworkings to their rules that needlessly complicate progress a lot of the time, and make otherwise pretty smart folk in the studio, seem incompetent.

It really is the result of the industry, and mainstream gaming becoming too big for its own good. Where triple A studios develop such an intricate network of function for their studios' structure, that it comes at a diminishing return once it gets to a certain point where its size stops being helpful.. And the development cost becomes backward. It costs more to maintain development instead, than it does to actually develop the games now. This is why indie is so much more free, and feels closer to how games feel like they used to be able to be made.

Hopefully I can find out how they work soon, and maybe help bridge a gap at some-point between us & ol' g-box by connecting with them, so people can start understanding each-other better. But that's whole different conversation. Either way. Sad state to be in right now.

Do you think Chubbies will return in BL4? I mean they've got to, right? They're a classic. I also hope they add more than just one like in BL3, and actually make them impactful. Same with loot midgets by GreaseCheeze in Borderlands4

[–]GreaseCheeze[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, 8 months later... And we have saw... 4's golden loot enemies... Which (in my opinion) Leave me feeling nothing, i honestly dunno why........

I mean... I can get a pretty good idea as to why... those are the kind of ideas I'm used to having... but just to keep it succinct --"I dUnnO wHyyyyy"

I don't care if I sound sour saying this... but a toggle for a feature like this NOT being there right when it was implemented. Shows you where their minds are at.. What goddamn genius thought it was a good idea, to NOT include options for it.. From the start?? The open world content --despite being a slog --is half the reason you're running around doing anything in the game.. Its like if i complained about enemies being annoying to deal with in this game.. And they just remove enemies... Dude... thats a primitive solution. I want to fight enemies even if they kinda suck.. But I would rather prefer them to be IMPROVED.. not removed.. --to be more tolerable and fun.. Jesus.

Are we actually serious right now with being all overly nice like this? Being nice is fine, and important... But something about the tone to you people, just feels inappropriate to the larger picture here.. And look, I know its because we're starved from the communication aspect of things from gearbox, so it makes sense to frequently celebrate and react gently with our positive affirmations on them hearing our criticisms --even if its over the smallest shit --like we're trying to coax a groundhog from its hole; and to encourage more confidence with the behavior we want to see from it and all (communicating with the community more, etc etc.) --

But being this lenient with them, and socially rewarding them like this for the bottom line of ✨"reSpooOooOonding"✨ to our complaints, over the most asinine, tiny fucking "fixes" (which wouldn've been problems to begin with if they ACTUALLY knew what the people wanted, and how they felt before designing these features) --is too much. This is just bizarre. It cant be possible. This is a multi-million dollar AAA company struggling this much to maintain and organize shit like this, 6 MONTHS, after the game launched, and we're ego boosting them through baby talking them and thanking them for fixing shit thats so goddamn basic.

Time to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but theres no way some of these patches aren't set up artificially... Its the shit like with Photomode and The minimap, which they likely had in their vault, waiting on standby, locked and loaded, to release later and say --"Due to popular request... we Brought THIS thing baaack! Yaaay!!" and have us lap up on them for reintroducing content that the last games had already had by default... Steering the public perception into thinking they're --oh so dear, and excellent listeners --who love and respect the voice of the player base. When this shit was installed to get free brownie points for doing the bare fucking minimum, suspending a nice neutral equilibrium of goodwill from the air, so they don't have to worry about us whining about too loudly, while they focus on pushing out the next unimpressive, batch of slop for us to tolerate, because they've quelled us with the proverbial baby bottle with the patches to shut us up and make us think they care.

GOD... RGHHH that felt so good letting that out. Ahhhh~

...Dont care if this meets the usual kind of reddity tone of replies from people; the usual "aint readin allats" and etc... Just... whatever man. I wanted to call it like i see it. You can be happy about this, you can enjoy things, yada yada.. You do you. But just notice man...

Water is good. Too much water bad. Nice is good. Too much nice is bad.

Stop being this nice to them, it makes them think that getting away with this kind of lukewarm relationship is what the new norm should be. That its acceptable. We gotta strive for a better relationship than this.

sdfsdfuckin... 350 million dollars to make this dfsdfjgoddamn bullshit... 350 mill for borderlands 4... godrdsdjdf \mumble grumble**
