Borderlands. Anonymous 09/12/2025 (Fri) 01:10:11 Id: 631e4a No. 1744035
I am confused by something /v/. I was surprised to find out that borderlands 4 was released but it has less than 4000 reviews as of me writing this. I think this is odd since I was entirely expecting normalfags to just eat it up like they ate up 3. So why aren't they? It might not seem related at all but I was under the impression that about 3-5% of gamers leave steam reviews. So having the numbers for a major triple AAA game be low baffles me a bit. I want it to be clear that I fucking hate gearbox and i have hated them since the second borderlands game. For some reason people pretend like borderlands 2 is good for whatever reason. So I am quite a bit happy that Gearbox is flopping but I am still confused why. The quality of a game doesn't matter at all to sales so I am ruling that out. Was there a controversy before hand? That usually doesn't matter either but maybe some people were more pissed than usual? Maybe people are just distracted by everything else going on right now. That could be a factor but I am not sure if that is enough to explain how little this game is selling. Maybe I am to quick to jump to conclusions and the game will sell really well tomorrow? Please help me out here /v/. Also the pestilent defiler is the best gun.

Reminder he is best boy Borderlands is one of those "it would be so good if it were good" games, the core foundation is fantastic but oh god the writing is genuinely some of the worst in the industry

Borderlands 3 was a pretty critical disappointment. I don't have sales numbers or anything on hand, but the combined fact that it was originally only available on the Epic Launcher for its release and the fact the game sucked (even a few of my normalfag friends admitted they stopped playing it halfway through) probably left a sour taste in the average gaymer's mouth. You can bully me for this but there are also a significant number of video essays by YouTube channels that second that sentiment of it not living up to BL2. Combine all of that with the impressively negative reputation Randy Pitchford and Gearbox have grown over the past decade and it's not that surprising to see BL4 doing so poorly. Also there's been almost no advertising for it that I've seen, so I'm not sure a lot of people even know it came out. I'm actually curious, now... Hey you, random Anon reading this. Did you even know Borderlands 4 was being made? Do you even know what it's about?

>>1744196 Might have heard it in passing and my reaction to it might have been "why are they making another one of these?", but I did not remember of its existence until now

>>1744196 No advertising as well as not having the innate word of mouth from the last entry being good made it about as well-marketed as store-brand items.

>>1744196 Knew it was in dev but had no clue it was out until I saw it mentioned on some other forum. HATED base 3 story with the passion of a thousand suns and was mixed on gameplay but thought the first three DLCs were good especially bounty of blood being a return to the space western feel the game should have. Moze was also a pretty fun character and more of a straight man to the game's bullshit, plus being an explosive focused mech operator was fun even before she got buffed to the moon. As for 4, all I know is it's cyberpunk bullshit and completely abandoning the space western stuff. So I'm out. That and the atrocity that was Tiny Tina's wonderlands doubling down on base 3's issues inspired negative confidence.

>>1744196 >Did you even know Borderlands 4 was being made? Maybe in the vague idea, that all games have a sequel getting worked on, like how I am sure there is a COD game getting worked on, but I have no idea what it will be about. As for Borderlands, I haven't played any of the games, so even if I had heard of it, I wouldn't have bothered keeping tabs on the game. The last thing I heard about the franchise, was the failed movie, which I also haven't seen, with the exception of some clips.
