I want a really great Borderlands 3 experience, I had a great time with Borderlands 1 and 2.
But I have changed pretty significantly as a person since those games came out. I wonder if Gearbox can manage to capture a tone with Borderlands 3 that can maintain me when it comes to its tone while not necessarily having a hard split from its core identity? Like, I worry that the better part of a decade later, I may have outgrown what Borderlands used to be?
That concern aside, I also admit that I don't trust Gearbox a whole lot. That said, my past enjoyment of Borderlands has me rooting more for them than rooting against them, but I do admit that I'm going to take every pre-release bit of media surrounding this game with a huge grain of salt. I have trusted sources that I'll keep my ear to the ground on when it comes to impressions, but I'm not taking anything Randy says or shows at face value.
Overall, I'm hoping Borderlands 3 is a Borderlands I can get down with... But I admit, I'm hesitant at this point to claim a regular sense of excitement about it.
