Gearbox has made 2 good games. Halflife: Opposing Force and Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30.


But recently they made the terrible Duke Nuken Forever. Instead of a cool game we got Halo with Duke Nukem. We tried to blame 3d realms and lift all the blame off of Gearbox. But then, Aliens Marines happened. Another terrible game.

 

The good news is, Shadow Warrior was released and 3D Realms worked with Flying Wild Hog and it ended up being what Duke Nukem Forever should have been. However, Gearbox currently owns the licence for classic Homeworld, is making new IP's and crap that is video game released stuff and stuff. Like thart.

 

Is Gearbox gud or POO?

I sure hope my Gearbox can hold up. I'm not paying £1000 for a new one.

I still haven't bought Borderlands 2 yet (want to), but they did an okay job with Nightfire (I want Eurocom's version on consoles though). My respect for them did go down quite a bit since Aliens: Colonial Marines though.

I have little faith in that PR spokesperson, every time I see him praising this and that it ends up sucking ass with 1 single exception (borderlands 2).

2 of the worst games of this generation, Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines, have their name on it. So no, I don't have faith in them anymore.

It's funny because DNF tried to make fun of Halo. But Halo is a million times better than that crap.

The good news is, Shadow Warrior was released and 3D Realms worked with Flying Wild Hog and it ended up being what Duke Nukem Forever should have been. 

uninspiredcup

I disagree. Shadow Warrior is very different from Duke Nukem. To me it's more like Painkiller, although it does have a lot of exploring in the levels reminiscent of old 3D shooters like Duke Nukem.

This mod, Duke Nukem Forever 2013, is what Duke Nukem Forever should've been.

I think they lost a lot of faith in gamers when they were filtering money meant for Aliens development into Borderlands 2

Honestly, from a pure game experience, I only trust them when the game says Borderlands on it... I wouldnt buy another one of their games atm.  I enjoyed BiA but it wasn't enough for me to be psyched for a new one.  Pitchford seems like a guy in a trench coat flipping a nickle on the corner.

how is borderlands 1 + 2 totally ignored in your post :|campzor

 

The borderlands series is bad. It's COOP, but features no team work of any kind. It's cartoony and wacky like Team Fortress 2, without the funny or actual characters you might want to remember. The closest thing to one is that little robot thing, which is annoying, not funny. Upgrades are boring.

 

If you want to see a good arena shooting game, play Shadow Warrrior.

Borderlands, to me, has always been a mediocre ARPG with poor pacing. I LOVE the artstyle, though!

With Bungie ripping off Borderlands, they're gonna need to figure out something else that'll put the food on the table

If it's something they actually want to do then it will probably turn out fine, otherwise it will be Colonial marines or DNF

It's not a question of faith, my position is fvck Randy Pitchford, I don't care if he makes the Mona Lisa of video games he did wrong by Colonial Marines and he didn't own up to it, I'm not buying another game he's involved with, he embezzled money from Sega to make Gearbox money on their other games he developed with that money, then he handed off the project to some no-name to fulfill the contract and they messed it up. Fvck him, fvck Gearbox, I will not support their games.

I hate him now like i can't stand bobby kotic. the reason for that is not the epic failure ACM were but the fact that they released two borderland games and did nothing to fking modded weapons in those games.

oh nooooos, they have Homeworld, I forgot... I guess I'll have to forgo my boycott on Gearbox when that comes out, as my want for that game pre-dates the ACM fiasco

well humor is subjective, so just because you don't find it funny doesn't mean it's not funny to other people

I kinda have to agree, the best thing they released lately was borderlands 2 and to be honest the only good thing that game had was its cartoony artstyle.

I liked Borderlands 2 but after the whole Aliens fiasco, I don't trust him at all anymore.

This. I can't trust Gearbox on anything anymore. But I do know if there's one product they'll actually try on, it's their Borderlands games.

I kinda agree. The shooting mechanics in BL are pretty good, the enemy variation is good, the weapon variation is obviously good and one of the main selling factors of the game, but it just feels so lifeless. The missions are boring, the characters are unmemorable, everything is just so artificial, it's impossible for me to get immersed in the Borderlands games, and as a result I get bored of them quickly.
