I know it’s tragically pedestrian; and I know there’s supposed to be a 4 in 2025; and I also know there’s many a slip twixt cup and lip, and the gaming industry is going through some pretty radical changes… but all I really want is another Borderlands.

There’s not much they can do with it, not many places to go, and I’m sure everyone who’s worked on the series over the years is thoroughly sick of it. But, damn. Every one of the main games (at least; I haven’t loved every in-between spin-off) has his a sweet spot of mindless fun, funniness, and replay-ability. I’ve played 3 so many times through, and spent so many hours just running around in every location, even I can’t work up much enthusiasm to fire it up anymore.

There’s an occasional game that fills the same niche; Bullet Storm was pretty fun, but with low replay-ability. I just want a game where I can turn off the higher brain functions and run around killing stuff in interesting ways.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.
