DanTheGamer11 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Sounds cool Wilhelm sounds like a Predator Playing as a Claptrap wouldbe weird haha... might not be an FPS if so, maybe RTS or XCOM? FPS would be cool though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I'd be perfectly alright with a heavily armed Claptrap. I wonder how oxygen would play with him being a robot and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claptrap is as human as anyone!!!! I'm hoping that, because it's clearly a stopgap before BL3 and will likely be a shorter campaign, it's priced at $30-40.

bp9801 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I'd be alright with no more than $30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewr05 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I never finished BL2 with all the characters or any of the DLC for that matter. I sort of lost interest in it, maybe I'll DL that later today and play it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 I got about halfway through on one character...it just didn't hold my attention like BL did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow47 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Having said that... This feels like another cash-in the way Arkham Origins was to Batman. I really don't understand why since they're spending the money anyways, they can't make an actual sequel to BL2. *Sigh* Yeah, of course I'm going to buy this, but I really hope they price this more reasonably around $40 or something. We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. They've never made a new-gen game, so it would indeed cost a lot more money just to learn the systems (remember, time = money). It's definitely a stopgap until BL3 comes out, just like BAO was a stopgap until BAK, but I take no issue with that. It sounds like they're adding enough new aspects to warrant a purchase, but like I said before, I too am hoping for a $30-40 price tag - not because I wouldn't pay more for a BL game, but rather because I'm getting a sense that a single playthrough will be shorter than BL2. EDIT: One thing I will say is that it sounds like playing as each character will actually provide very different stories (at least as far as the characters are concerned), making it much more akin to Dragon Age than the previous Borderlands games. In the previous two games I only ever really played two different characters because the only thing that ever changed were the abilities. For this reason, BL:TPS may actually have a bit more replayability from a story standpoint, whereas the others relied on loot to entice players back.
