Which part? That Telltale made the best Borderlands game? Or that Borderlands 4 is going to flop?
I visited “Tales from the Borderlands” steam page 1½ hour ago, around the time I wrote that comment, and I saw some reviews that highlighted Gearbox horrible new EULA which is very privacy invasive. Combined with the franchise’s recent flop, the movie, I’m not certain many people are willing to to pay $80 for practically spyware.
It’s obviously subjective, and since I have a love for adventure games, which are better at conveying a story than a shooter in my opinion, or at least a lot better than what the Gearbox Borderlands games managed to do, I just feel like Telltale told the possible version of a story from that universe. Lots of comedy, amazing characters and great voice acting. Of Telltales best games, I’d say it’s in the Top 3 with The Walking Dead. Not sure what I’d put as number 3 though… “Either Back to the Future: The Game” or “The Wolf Among Us”.
I wonder why the games lately have such bad sales. Could it be increasing the price while providing less and less non-filler content? Nah, probably just not enough lootboxes.
The fucking greediness of these people is amazing. Record profits are not enough, they gotta milk every last cent out of people.
And before someone comes at me with inflation, have you noticed that the user base is much larger than in the 80s? And that many of the companies are having record profits?

Such CEO bravery
In a world where a lot of triple A games are not even worth $60, I’ll wait for the reviews.
Gearbox is stepping into AAAA territory here. Gotta compete with Ubis*ft.
Oof… Sounds like it’s gonna flop massively then.
In my opinion, the only good thing that’s come out of that franchise was the Telltale games.

Wow, that’s one of a take. I’m curious, what makes you think that way?

Oh yeah, sorry, the Telltale part. The flop chances are clearly increasing, im with you on this one.

Makes perfect sense, thx for explaining!
There are dozens of us! I also really love Tales from the Borderlands. So much, that I’ll name my firstborn Loader Bot!
