Poll of the Day > New Borderlands?

(+) Yeah! (+)

For those who like the series, what would you like to see added in the new installment?

I would like new combat mechanics beyond basic FPS+gun attributes and action skill.

Also more end game loot.

Most of all, quests that aren't simply fetch quests.

I feel like gearbox has kinda gone to hell since the second game was released

For the fucking love of science, please give us a new ui and a storage that isn't utter crap. I don't understand their refusal to let us have a decent amount of storage. I also hate the giant list of items we get for an inventory too. Other than those two new things, more variety of of weapon mods and a greater variety of ways they can be put together.

Common sense gun control.

Gearbox will probably turn it into a Destiny clone or something to keep player count active.

Nailed it. These are my primary wants as well. I'd also like to see added complexity to the weapon composition, including bringing back prefixes and weapon names that themselves provide additional effects, like anarchy or noble.

I really hope they don't bring back the awful, awful meme-fest 12 year old humor from 2, I can't stand to replay that game because it's so bad.

Like others have said better UI would be great too.

Yeah I would love a more adult borderlands game. The humor just got annoying, not funny in the later games.

I liked the humor in the DLC the most.

Maybe they could balance out a bit more with more serious or purely atmospheric parts.

Make the numbers scale up more slowly with levels so finding a gun you like the feel of is more important than finding a high level one. Borderlands 2 was particularly bad with this in the later difficulties. The level 60 version of the best gun in the game was a pea shooter by the time you hit 62.

UI improvements would be a welcome change too, though I'm not sure how much they can do while still keeping the game fully functional on all platforms.

The went a long way to fixing the scaling in Pre-Sequel. Still not perfect, but your weapons don't become useless every two levels at least.

Ultimate mode in 2 was godawful. Being forced to keep a slag gun around sucked. I hope slag is deleted and never brought up again, or at least re balanced and given no special importance.

I hope they don't do that shift key nonsense again

but they will

Better scaling is a definite for me to even consider buing the next game. I never even touched the Pre-Sequel because BL2's pea-shooting guns and paper-mache shields were utterly ridiculous. The fact that health gating even exists just makes things that much worse because that's literally the devs openly admitting they went overboard and made things pretty much one-shot you. Also, enemy spawns need to be better controlled as well. Seriously, I'm fine with more enemies, but they shouldn't be fucking spawning right fucking behind me after I move a fucking inch from where I used to be.

The loot system needs tweaking too. The way BL2 handled it was: Whites everywhere, an occasional green, a very rare blue, and "Purple? Orange? Hahahaha, good fucking luck with that one, buddy. Maybe after you kill me another 20 or so times I'll consider it..." I don't want blues, pruples, and oranges spewing out of every crevasse, but greens should be far more common and blues should be the occasional drop with purples and oranges the rare ones. The loot explosion at the end of the Torque DLC was one of the most depressing moments in gaming history because of BL2's shitty loot system.

I'm also 100% convinced that the BUNK3R skins and heads are an elaborate fan-created conspiracy to troll the fuck out of people. I killed that thing like 200+ times and never got a single one.
