Forums - Gaming - I think its time for Gearbox to call it quits with shooters outside of Borderlands.

I would be shocked to find out that Gearbox wasn't taking sega's money and putting it towards borderlands

I'm getting the game from PSN tomorrow, not judging it before playing.

They way I see it is if Gearbox didn't make Duke or Aliens, no one would. I'm glad the games came out regardless of their final state. Did anybody honestly expect a game 12 years ago to be any good? Aliens CM looks like most of its development was done in 2008.


So you're saying Bioware or Bungie couldn't fix this game?

You know that Gearbox is not only a developper and its a servicing compagny too ?

they dont just have IP they do what the client say too.

Borderlands 2 disagrees with you. It is a different thing dealing with a game building it ground up and picking up an already broken game trying to fix what went wrong with it.

Do you think it could be 2k's budget vs Segas budget that is highly attributed into the overall value of the game? This game has been in Gearboxes hands for six years.

Let me say this.  Once something is so far into development the only way to fix everything is by scrapping everything.

lol You have such pre-internet ways of gaming. Metacritic should always be your guide, but never your final say.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Doesn't look like any developer can make a great aliens game. Nobody just can't nail the tension aspects and the alien AI that we expect.

Yes, they should just take the money and run badass style!  

The downloadable content did so well for borderlands 2 they should just keep making more.

OT: Sounds like a pretty dramatic thread. It just means publishers should know dead projects going to them might be horrible, and people are saying they outsourced much of the development to even smaller developers.

Someone has not played ME3, Bioware folded under the pressure of E.A. and it's their I.P. Who knows how this game would have come out if bioware were at the helm. Plus did you play DA2? Bioware hasn't made anything decent in years.
