Pre-sequel has lasers and moon gravity, therefore it is the best. Sure the plot is hot garbage, but so is at least 50% of BL2, so obviously the correct thing to do with Borderlands plots is to ignore them almost entirely. Seriously, my greatest hope for 3 is that they go as plot-light as Randy Pitchford's ego will allow and maybe even go open world and non-linear, rather then trying for a handholding 'narrative experience'. (My second greatest hope is that they let you skip the interminable tutorial zones and start at level 5 or whatever, with all your equipment slots already unlocked and all the tedious exposition and character introductions out of the way). Mordja posted:They very publicly announced that their next Battlefield game wouldn't have gameplay-related microtransactions of any kind during its reveal, with veiled reference to the lootbox scandal and I'm pretty sure Battlefront 2 and the legislative response towards it has them running scared. That makes more sense, I hadn't seen that particular announcement. Still, Battlefield is actively trying to recoup goodwill after BF2, whereas I don't think anyone, including EA, expects Anthem to sell well enough to earn a sequel or justify Bioware's continued existence, so why not go fishing for whales?

For a game set on the moon it's ugly and real garish. Borderlands 2 isn't a looker but there's variety at least.

i like the story in borderlands 2 and pre-sequel  the jokes are very hit and miss but Jack is a good villain IMO, and it's cool to go through presequel and see him progress towards who he was in the second game

I mean Plants vs Zombies 2 was a mobile only F2P poo poo show that pretty much destroyed what the first game did but outside of the garden warfare games and Peggle 2 I haven’t heard anything more about them.

The big issue with Popcap is that pre-EA, they had become a mid-tier publisher of indie games as well, and it looks like the EA deal put a screeching halt to that, to the point that you realize how little their in-house team actually did*. The company's webpage only lists 5 series now: Peggle, PvZ, Zuma, Bejeweled, and Bookworm... and then you look and realize they're either due for a new wave of games, or completely dead, because all their post-EA stuff came in two waves, one in 2014, and one in 2016. Anyway I've spent way too much time on this because I tried tracking down who did some of the smaller games they used to do that are now fuckin' dead and that sucked. * I presume? I legitimately have no idea why you would not list your products as part of your catalog, but a not-tiny amount of these are still on sale on Steam, so...

It's not like everyone doesn't already know that if EA buys a company it's essentially a death knell for any quality games that company may, or may not have, previously made. Like good on you if you get a cash buyout from EA for your company, and that's what you want, but everyone loving knows that company isn't going to produce anything of value that the brand was previously known for without 50 layers of EA poo poo on top of it.

Specifically, I guess Trespasser. I'd argue that Trespasser is the best Dragon Age thing that exists. Awakening is also good, but I thought I was fighting a losing battle there. I'll amend to 1 and 3/4 games.

I had fun with inquisition. Not a masterpiece but I could overlook the bloat. Definitely had an issue of the writers and the level designers not exactly knowing what the other was doing, considering the amount of "fetch 10 bear pelts" style quests dotted around the large maps.
