Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 likely axed, as Take-Two says it’s ‘paused’ development | VGC
-
Borderlands was in essence an open world game. Two was so connected you could walk from the very beginning to the very end without any use of vehicles if you so chose. Borderlands 3 was the equivalent of Final Fantasy X.
If you say so. I can tell you I've been tracking my times pretty judiciously in the past year. For each of those Borderlands games, my times were:
- Borderlands 1: 23h17m
- Borderlands 2: 35h15m
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: 22h21m
- Borderlands 3: 35h25m
- Borderlands 4: 28h26m
So I guess Borderlands 2 wasn't longer, like I may have remembered it. In each case for the above, I basically just did enough side missions to keep pace with the recommended level of the next main story mission, which amounted to a few hours per game. All of those times include the DLC except for Borderlands 4, and the DLC is also very similarly sized and paced across games.

Borderlands died after 2.

Doesn't Tiny Tina's Wonderland count?
Well. I always forget that one exist tbh lmao
-
Wasn't this like a flagship game they were touting along with CoD?

It's actually not terrible. Give it a shot if you can get it cheap enough.

It makes some sense, because basically no one has a Switch 2 anyway
️Edit : turns out my friends are just weird. No one around ME owns a switch 2, but I guess the overall market is different.

It's the fastest selling nintendo console but sure
the real reason is they cant optimize the game enough for it to run on sw2
-
Pre sequel had a good story, but bad gameplay

It is !? I have just checked and it is ! Wtf ? I used to always be able to tell how well a console was selling by just checking my friend circles (even then Nintendo was over-represented) so I am VERY confused that the console is selling well while I simultaneously don't know anyone who owns it

️Apparently it's doing really well in Japan and less well elsewhere, but its success in Japan was enough to more than make up for it and exceed their forecast.

Not sure why people think the Switch 2 sales have underperformed, I have one, my boss has one, my colleague and her brother just bought one. Yeah, it's not as popular as the first, but it's still pretty damn popular...

i fail to see how pre sequel gameplay is anything other than an improvement on 2

Technically a 5th. There was one between two and three. Called Borderlands : The Pre-sequal. It wasnt that good either.
Borderlands had two really solid games, and theyve been running from what made it solid ever since.
pre sequel is genuinely the best borderlands tho

Short? It was a similar length to the rest of the series.
From what I recall of the only time I played it, it has a lot of going back and forth and large empty spaces which artificially extends the duration of the main story.

I can't say that was my experience when I played it last year, and you can see my recorded play times for the series below in this thread. In fact, I'd say I spent less time traversing empty spaces due to the game's more relaxed rules on fast travel.

More likely the frame rate paused

and given nintendo's history, the RoW market is a fun side project for them

I abused fast travel, all I remember from bl3 are the long boring unskippable non cutscene cutscenes. It always felt like they were there to artificially extend the time. I'd rather it just be a cutscene, over my gameplay while listening becoming just walking in circles waiting to actually play the game.
