Oh my god the quipping in the first minute alone made me tap out. Imagine paying for this to hear for dozens of hours.

Probably the weakest character trailer out of the 4 IMO. Now that all 4 have been shown I think Vex will be my first playthrough.
The only thing I found interesting with Harlowe is maybe the damage/dot spread mechanic.

The fuck does that have to do with what I posted?
The designs are fine. My problem is the overused Marvel-style quippy humor. *kills someone with her own invention* "thanks for the feedback".
Ever since Gearbox mildly succeeded at making a funny game with BL2, they have made it their mission to attempt to be funny with every line. I miss the quietude and silence of the first game.

Being real, the character designs and dialog feel ripped out of Suicide Squad.

They claimed to have toned down the retarded yapping but from what I've seen it sounds just like Borderlands 3

Lmao, there's some character with a female voice named Conway at the 7:30 and the pronoun "they" is used at 7:00. Hard pass.
They learned nothing.

My big decision on this game will be weather to buy it on Steam or Epic.
Epic gave away all the other games, Free Presequel, B2 and B3. Might as well buy the 4th one on Epic too.

If the guy who was in charge of these games was not such an insufferable prick, I would buy his games at full retail price. As it stands, I wait for them to go down to 20 dollars used before I buy them, not that he would care, obviously. Too bad that song of his never lead to a career change. You know that cringe song of his that one time He made a fool of himself? Not to mention that USB he left behind in that Texas restaurant with highly questionable content on it.
also stealing 12 million dollars

Either this doesn't play well or the person playing makes it look bad. I don't know if I would even buy it on sale at this point.

Haven't played a Borderlands since 2. Looks like I will be skipping this one as well.

LOLOL. That looks shit.
Doesn't look or feel like a Borderlands game.

This my one of my reason why I hate Marvel with passion, is not just they are fucking EVERYWHERE but also their shit sipping to every western media.
It's like a fucking disease infecting everything.

I just watched all the character class videos. None of them look interesting to me. The siren is the least cringe, and I've never liked playing a siren in any of the previous games.
I bought that Wonderlands game on super cheap sale a while back and never installed it. I think I'll hold myself accountable to finishing it before I look at any more BL games.

I'm on the fence, not sure whether I'll get it and just turn VA volume to 0, or whether I'll identify as non-buynary for this one.

I replayed a large chunk of BL1 earlier this year and I don't recall as many voice lines from Mordecai through those hours of play as I did in the seconds in this trailer.
I'm just not the modern BL target audience, it seems. I'll just stick with what I have, then.

Amon for me. Was gonna be Vex but when I saw some Amon gameplay I was sold.

I am too. I keep flip flopping. Was considering day 1 a couple weeks back, but now I'm leaning towards wait for sale.
The clip you posted kinda solidified that desire. Same old Borderlands writing with more shit characters saying annoying stuff incessantly. I wish they would rip out the gameplay and loot and graft it to another game.

Boring. Other 3 shorts were kinda entertaining. This feels like they ran out of ideas and just made a generic chase scene.

3 out of 4 ain't bad. I like the constant quipping.
Borderlands is a bit of fun, I like to play on launch and then about a year later and the game will have a whole different feel. They like to throw out what they got and then fix it. BL3 has tons of graphics issues on launch and they got it running like clockwork eventually. They also fixed skill trees and made them MUCH more interesting over time.
The gameplay is fun in these. It isn't that deep. It isn't as good as Destiny 2's gunplay but it is servicable and the weapon variety is super fun. The game is a good time for a few dozen hours if you have a friend to experience it with.
The comedy and story in the last one went downhill bigtime, but borderlands 2 is amazing. Still in and the other characters are less bad than this. You can tell this is the afterthought character.

Amon is probably runner up for a second run. Vex and Amon are my favorites out of the 4.

The game had way more diversity back then, when It was not been forced.

Same. A large reason why I think the General Knoxx DLC worked so well was because the vault hunter characters weren't stepping all over the dialog by either Athena or Knoxx. If the vault hunters had constant quippy lines every time they got exposition from either Athena or Knoxx, it wouldn't have been anywhere near as funny. Especially Knoxx's gradual dive into despair.

Yeah you right.Yes, go look at the trailers. The lighting makes everyone darker, but they're white.

Why'd you skip over BL3 in your character progression?
Their character designs seem pretty consistent, IMO, taking generational increases into account. My biggest issue with the characters in 3 were that three of them were pet-based classes (Moze's mech reliance was just a large pet) and Amara's best ability was a copy/paste of Maya's phaselock.

I think BL3 design its not that far from BL4, Its too busy, look at BL1 and 2 how simples characters were and thats why i skiped, i wanted to show how much clean designs were back in the day.Why'd you skip over BL3 in your character progression?

Also on old BL you could say how each characters ll play and how was their personality just by Just looking at them.
You look at Roland and you see a ranger/leader, you look at Zero and you see a ninja/misterious, you would never wanna piss Salvator character, now look at Flack ? He is a hobo, Zane is too generic he can be whatever, the only real good design of BL3 is Amara that you can clearly see that she is a brawler/someone with a short temper.
BL4 i have no clue what and How this characters ll play, their designs tell you nothing about their personality, they are just generic full of atitude colorfull dude and chick.

The way to make this dialogue not shit is very simple, yet Randy and the gang think it's so funny to hear claptrap every second screaming and the other characters making fart and dick jokes rambling about nothing

Same. I'll probably wait a week or so and watch some impressions from sources I trust. Usually all the bad shit gets exposed in the first couple of days.
And I'm definitely ignoring any review that calls it a "return to form"

They were cherrypicking with the initial Vault Hunter announcement reveal which was before they underwent some alterations due to fan feedback. And the lighting in that initial reveal had a lot of washed out purple. The final design is much better compared to what was there initially.

WHy does the graphic looks so bad? is it the sw2 version?
Also, how dumb do you have to be to have these dialogues in 2025?
i thought randy was at least smart enough to care about making money and bl3 was just a fad but the disney virus infected his greasy ass alright...
