1 replyThat location at 2:00 → is that from the upcoming DLC, cause I don’t recall ever going there. Also I don’t remember fighting enemies like that skeleton at 1:14 either.
Not sure if bad memory or sneak peak at upcoming expansion……

Recommended (1)Between the article and the video, the game looks kinda “bland,” but I’ll make sure to take a closer look when more news comes down the pipeline. Forming conclusions off an article and 3 minute video probably won’t do me much good anyways.

One thing though:
“The cell-shaded effect was achieved by accenting all edges on the case with a black sharpie….”
It isn’t cell shaded! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought “Cel” (not “Cell” as written in the article) Shading wasn’t simply throwing a Comic-book stylized outlines to everything, but also the method of illumination an object receives. Cel Shading tends to exhibit those hard, graded steps in color, whereas Borderlands and this case for that matter, are using realistic lighting (well, of course that’s how the case is being lit, lol) across stylized, hand-drawn textures!

Hacker dogs. They’ll **** with your forklifts, lol.

Hopefully they’ve worked on the controls since PAX East, when I gave it a go. The way you controlled your character in Competitive Mode felt really clunky. Otherwise, I’m still a big fan of the art style and the light-hearted humor.

No, this won’t be part of the Season Pass.

Awesome, can’t wait for the update!

1 reply Recommended (1)(in reply to Indigo) I think speculation this early is a bit immature though.
A game has to be experienced before such a judgement could be made. I’m guessing the response was from the article mentioning “Those who pledged more or bought better ships will get a better hanger.” Well, neither me, you, or our friend Jeffgoldwarf there, has played the game, and thus, cannot form an educated assessment of whether having “a better hanger” increases a player’s chances to win.
