Borderlands 4: Aiming for Just Right
Randy Pitchford likens game development to porridge, emphasizing the need for balance. In his recent interview, he acknowledged past missteps in game mechanics and narrative choices. As writers aim to replace meme-driven humor with character-focused storytelling, anticipation builds. While some jankiness remains, the character trailers suggest a commitment to genuine laughs. Pitchford's insights reflect a learning process over iterations, claiming they now know the bullseye. As a fan, I'm hopeful for a more grounded narrative in Borderlands 4. The push for depth over gimmicks is a promising sign for longtime players. However, convincing skeptics will be crucial for its success. Here's to hoping 87 bazillion lessons have truly been learned. Only time will tell if it hits the mark.
