By now you have seen the backlash from Aliens Colonial Marines. Fucking 6 years in development and this is the final result. Angry Joe has a great review that explains all of its problems. What the fuck was Gearbox doing to develop this game for six years? Obviously they did Borderlands 1 & 2 and those took up a lot of resources but they clearly payed no fucking attention to Aliens Colonial Marines. It's absolutely fucking inexusable that this game had 6 years of development and barely did anything at all to work on it. They should have either put more time into it or walked away.

Its bullshit this game ended up the way it has and it's bullshit that Randy Pitchford and former Gearbox employees are trying to put the blame on Timegate studios. The blame goes on Sega/all developers for this but especially Gearbox. They were in charge of this and a former Timegate developer spoke up and said they were just trying to follow what they were told. I don't buy at all that Timegate was given any sort of authority compared to Gearbox. Besides the end result, worst of all they talked like they loved the franchise. Randy and everyone else are so full of shit. Aliens fans my ass. You have to hate the franchise to release a piece of shit like this. 

Its already bad enough how everything turned out and now they have the balls to charge $30 for a season pass with half assed dlc. This is just one piece of shit. Duke Nukem Forever? I already know that Gearbox basically just finished up the game so it can be released but is it an excuse? Fuck no. There was definitely sometime to do more with it and even if there wasn't time it should have been made to make it better. 

I do like Borderlands 2 but like everything Gearbox related of course there is still traces of shit. The game has been out for a few months now and all the issues still haven't been fixed. My main used character can rarely pick up new items because the inventory says full when its not, I can't unlock skins from the menu, the season pass doesn't even have all the dlc and already one of the DLC's is a fucking waste. Out of all the interesting characters they go with Hammerlock? He is probably the worst NPC from Borderlands 2. Everything these developers touch they either fuck up completely and its garbage or anything that is good they still manage to fuck things up with.

Rant over. Fuck Gearbox. These guys will never be a AAA developer with how fucking lazy they are and not giving two shits about their projects or their fans.

The blame should be on the customers. It's always their fault in gaming industry.

You aren't the only one according to the interwebz

I seen this video. Not sure how many have. But it compares the footage we were shown before release (playable demos and such) and the actual retail game. So sad imo. Anyway here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z2qVebxlUo

when i saw angryjoe's review this morning i was wondering WTF happened i loved both borderlands but seriously gearbox the only that pissed me is that the E3 demo and the final game are almost entirely different

I agree, they just don't seem to care about their brand name either, you would have thought they would just be embarrassed by releasing this, especially after Duke Nukem

They will okay for a while because of the huge sales success of Borderlands 2 and hopefully they will use that money to ensure that all their games are actually decent

I read somewhere that anonymous gearbox employees are saying that Timegate dumped all the previous assets and began building their own stuff and when gearbox got it back they were shocked and unhappy.. I mean.. who believes that.. like Timegate got the time, money and reason to do that.. when you have a subcontracter they ain't gonna do things that will costs them more time and money.. and no gearbox supervisior would have seen that? "hey man, that looks different then the stuff we gave you" ..

gearbox thought they vould pull another brother in arms where they also showed an "in game" demo much better then the final product but the final product was still very good.. but this time they gambled and lost..

Borderlands 3 will sort things out

edit: why have I gone back to 0 posts and no friends on my friends list? I had to sign in again for some reason too. Is there any way I can contact a mod about this?

1 posts since 12/10/12? It even recognises that I've been here since then.

Huge Aliens fan so disappointed! Comparing demo to release just shows how criminal this is!

Randy should go fuck himself.

Pathetic lie. Why the hell would developers sabotage their own game? I'm pretty sure that Timegate wants to make money. The blame clearly goes all around. Gearbox was in charge of development they hold the most responsiblity with Sega. They should have told Sega they couldnt do it. Instead they want to try to cash in on the franchise.

Blame Gearbox. I knew it was all them. Of course Sega was well aware of it's condition but clearly Gearbox wasn't fucking getting anywhere and didn't give two shits. Sega gave Gearbox chance after chance delaying the game again and again. Don't blame Sega. It's all Gearbox. Spending the money they got from Sega under Borderlands? How fucking low can you get?
