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.

I could only really get into the Mech one, and it seemed pretty
powerful, so I assume it's that.  Though I see people saying Zane if you
have the DLCs, and he was my favorite of the other ones.  I didn't like
it enough to bother with the DLCs though.

I feel like BL has been overdone at this point, and they loaded it up
with MTX which is only likely to get worse, and am not planning on
buying 4.

I might, but only after reading many reviews if it sounds like they
haven't fucked it up.

The siren in bl3 was a massive disappointment after the ones in the
first 2, so I'm going to be extremely wary of bl4.
