[QUOTE=RikohZX;52721296]On one hand, Gearbox didn't make Forever; all they got were the scraps that 3D Realms had from the newest revision due to George Broussard fucking that game's development up to all high hell. The DLC "The Doctor Who Cloned Me" was actually Gearbox-made and better received. On the other hand, they took down every single thing involving Duke Nukem from GOG and Steam that wasn't Forever, shot down the Megaton Edition to release their own which was very poorly managed (and allegedly yet legally cloned the fan source port of EDuke32), and then stuck Duke as a pre-order bonus that cost $5 on its own as a voice and model replacement for the sake of random humor into a $50 re-release of Bulletstorm that otherwise didn't really add much besides an all-weapons campaign mode. Yeah, that's kinda skewed, isn't it?[/QUOTE] Duke doesnt deserve this.

[QUOTE=MedicWine;52719767]Also YongYea is on fire lately, this is some good content.[/QUOTE] He's really doubling down on the effort he's putting into his channel. It's really nice to see it blowing up and getting posted here so often now.
I still want the L4D-esque A:CM that was talked about back in the day
Watching Gearbox post-A:CM, with Randy Pitchfords bizarre rants and excuses and the trainwreck that was Battleborn, makes me wonder if the success of Borderlands/Borderlands 2 was just a fluke. Could explain why the third entry is taking so long to show up, despite being the one good thing they have made in ~10 years.
[QUOTE=MR-X;52719736]Yeah the issue is, [B]his game wasn't awesome[/B]. They had what looked like a good pre-release build and instead released something vastly inferior[/QUOTE] I'm unsure as to how my point got missed. I found it funny that Randy nearly admitted to this? "They're just mad at me over the cover of my book. That's stupid because nobody likes a book for the cover. They like it because it's well written! Just look at The Great Gatsby!" -Man trying to argue it's not his fault his book has horrible reviews.
I'm still pissed that I was suckered into that piece of shit and PRE-ORDERED it since it looked so great in the demo videos and all.
My brother texts me probably once a week saying 'Remember when we both pre-ordered Colonial Marines?' It's a wound that won't heal.

Didn't Gearbox steal the art style for Borderlands? Also I'm pretty sure I heard Randy say that Borderlands would do fine without the cell shaded look, indicating the man is the biggest moron on the planet.

An ugly outline at that.
