Oh so they’re just going to do beta testing on the users anyways, just after release…

This game is fucked

It says the beta was to test multiplayer so hopefully that means the PvP multiplayer mode and not the campaign co-op mode. If so, I’m fine with that; the pvp mode looked interesting but that’s not what I’m really buying it for.

Is that not the purpose of a beta? That doesn't seem like a good sign.

Traditional, pre-2006, beta tests were bug hunts in feature complete software. Then public beta tests became a thing that rapidly evolved into marketing for a finished game. Most public betas don't see any bugs fixed on launch.

Not just marketing, they're often also a load test for the networking infrastructure. Not much change to actual gameplay though.

This is not a good sign.

Good thing I am a patient gamer.

I had the same thought.

My knee jerk reaction is that the rumors I heard that the game isn't in a good place might be more then rumors. That sucks, I was really excited for this one, I hope it turns out great.

So 'best' = 'most profitable'
Gotcha

My guess is that the game gets really repative because that is kinda the Tyranid style. Waves and waves of teeth and claws. Maybe some variations, but how long can you send swarms of the same guy before its boring.

I guess Vermintide and 40k version (can't remember name) make it work but they are very different games.

The prequel had mostly orks in the beginning, but they sprinkled in some other enemies later on. So I assume they'll do something similar here.

Gene stealers, Lictors, a carnifex here or there.

Tyranids can have plenty of variety if you are familiar with the full breadth of their forces.

ChicoSuave ,

Dark Tide hardly works. The "cultists" that are everywhere are usually chaos and die to a stern glare. The game has serious grind problems. The over-the-top waves of 40k make for really boring gameplay.

Not sure how to feel about this

Honestly to God, while I get wanting to play an updated version of games you love, I played through the original trilogy off of gog a few months ago, and they have stood up remarkably well. I can't help but see all of this as a bit silly.

SuperSaiyanSwag , to Games in Ubisoft Excited To Let You Know Prince Of Persia Remake Is Still Years Away

I was fine with what they originally showed. Yes, it wasn’t the prettiest game out there, but if it was modernized enough then I really didn’t care about the graphics that much.

Don't worry, though. It's not in development hell, it's going to be a AAAAA game, and that takes time.

Part of the development process is finding a fifth A

You mean coming up with bullshit for adding another A

Where do you think the bulk of the budget goes to?

They have a legion of people toiling in the letter mines in order to dig up more A's

Ah yes, the movie that's lost all of its original writers and been in reshoots for many years.

Blackmist , to Games in The First Borderlands Movie Clip Looks Like An SNL Skit

I didn't even like the game, so the chance of this appealing to me is less than zero.

Realistically, celebrities get about 8 movies to perform in their career before my brain is unable to see them as some sort of new character. Kevin Harts comedy stopped carrying his horrible acting about 5 movies ago.

Croquette ,

It depends on the actor. When you have an actor, like Gary Oldman for example, that really transform into its role, they can play in an infinite number of movies and they won't get boring.

But actors, like The Rock or Kevin Hart, that just play themselves over and over again get tiring fast.

OlPatchy2Eyes ,

To his credit, the trailer does make it look like Kevin Hart is making a genuine attempt to play Roland from the game. Still a weird casting decision.

davepleasebehave ,

When you got movies like Tom Cruise in them, you can't lose!
