It also amuses me that Gearbox announced "Borderlands 4" yesterday,
doubtlessly expecting that the excitement about the movie would help
to hype up the game. Maybe they should have looked at the daily rushes
before scheduling the game's release date.

Well, it makes sense to announce games in a game conference, like
GamesCon. But I think they'll hope to forget the movie as quickly as
possible. Funny, I checked my local theatre. For the upcoming four
showings of Borderlands the movie I see 104/104 seats available. And not
showing it on Friday or Saturday either.

BTW, I'm not having high hopes for Borderlands 4. The gameplay in
Borderlands 3 was already so streamlined and at least one of the
characters so over-powered, it makes me wonder what the next one will be
like. "Just hold this button and watch the game play itself"? It's hard
to imagine anything but suckiness. Still, I'm probably going to play it
and probably sooner rather than later too.

Which one was overpowered?

I hate melee in games like this so I never played the chunky Siren on
offer in Bl3, despite Sirens being my favorite in the previous games.
