Funnily enough, that's the exact complaint I saw raised by many people about Assassins Creed Origins and Odyssey, that it had changed and was no longer Assassins Creed

Well at least Gearbox are keeping up to date with one thing...micro-transactions, yay.

I played through BL1 with all DLC maybe 8 or so times on XB360, then BL2 maybe a dozen or so times again with all characters. Then back to BL1 on PC, then BL2 + all DLC on PC. Then BL2 all DLC 100% trophies on PS4 Pro last year, again maybe 8 or so playthroughs all characters. Then Pre Sequel 3 playthroughs for almost 100% trophies. And now back playing BL1 and BL2 on PC just because of the remastered 4k versions.....and I'm still not bored of it haha.
So in short, I'm always tempted in any Borderlands games.
Bring on BL3 and the farming bosses
Video says Gearbox were asked and said "no microtransactions". There will be DLC, probably massive game extensions like the last two games.
Where did you see microtransactions?

...but you'll be able to buy stuff!

To be honest, cosmetic items don't affect the fun my friends and I will have in BL3. Its a total non-issue for us. I think we will cope and enjoy ourselves despite not buying the funky pink outfit

Yeh, could have been worse and had play to win items.
I'm sure they thought about it but in the current climate thought better of it.
Pretty cynical way too look at it tbh. It's a shooter most prominent for it's mad weapons and cell shaded graphical style, where did you expect them to go with it?
Besides, it's pretty clear that they HAVE retouched and developed a great deal since TPS, especially when you consider how very small the changes where between that and 2. It's like @Steampunk said, they have a formula and a fanbase, why should they make major changes when people adore the things that makes the series what it is in the first place.
As much as Pitchford is a prat the DLC model of BL2 was pretty great to be honest and it's pretty clear he means no P2W (Purchasable golden keys or weapons). The only changes I'd make to BL2 DLC model would be making the UVHM upgrades free updates as opposed to paid DLC and reducing the price of the new characters to around 4.99 not 7.99. The main DLC and headhunter packs were reasonably priced for the content offered and I couldn't give a crab about the dozens of 79p cosmetic packs.
The only issue with their cosmetic dlc, was that it was disgustingly pointless.
Literally just a colour palette that costed money, they could do so much more with armour, attachable items, character independent pets. Perhaps it reduces the characters iconography, but it’s a game, so I really don’t care much.
There’s not much they can do with guns besides tweaking what works and removing what doesn’t, changing the manufacturer specialities and how the parts function with each other as they have done already.
The biggest fear is that like with their previous game they’re going to shortchange the season pass again. Going by the fomo ******** about raising the ‘super **** you’ edition cost by 20 dolla (where exactly is that reduced game cost from using epic store?), this seems likely.

Re things not moving on massively, the plus point should be a high frame rate which is always welcomed in fps.
I don't think they will honestly. Pre-sequel was a minor flop created by 2K Australia, not Gearbox. This is their only big title and they've been working on it for over 5 years, they will be keen to get that DLC money in again.
Soldato
Urgh, why do they always play with a pad for these gameplay reveals.. It made the combat and movement look so slow and clunky.
Also read on PC gamer that the gun play was much better, but to me it just looked exactly the same as BL2.

I heard from a streamer that was there, DansGaming, that they all had to use a xBox pad due to Microsoft sponsored the event so they did not have a choice in the matter.
Soldato
Which begs the question, why not use a Microsoft keyboard and a Microsoft mouse?
Soldato
I think you have to ask Microsoft that question.
Cause Microsoft care more about xbox branding and most people who see xbox pad assume Consol

I wonder if people will find exploits in this on, like the read-only unlimited golden keys trick in BL2, or the farming Redbelly grab-n-quit trick in TPS.
