![]() Many of us will also be buying / have bought the season pass. Now, I along with loads of other people purchased the game as a pre-order, and we primarily did so to get the free class. Timeline: Gearbox announces Borderlands 2, announces Mechromancer as a free pre-order bonus, announces season pass, announces that the season pass will include four campaign DLC add-ons, announces that the mechromancer DLC will NOT be included. Isn't that enough for me to be considered as important or more important than people who preordered from officially-partnered retailers? The whole thing makes me regret buying the Season Pass in the first place since it's obviously not worth a damn. I showed my dedication buying their dumb Season Pass. Isn't that enough for me to be considered as important or more important than people who preordered from officially-partnered retailers? The whole thing makes me regret buying the Season Pass in the first place since it's obviously not worth a said: How much is a pre-order worth to them? I can't actually believe from a business standpoint it's worth more than $30. ![]() I spent $30 in advance after buying their $60 game, and for some reason that's not worth as much as pinkie-swearing before-hand that I was going to buy the game. It makes me not ever want to give them a penny in advance ever again because it's obvious they aren't putting customers first. Then they start rules-lawyering about what DLC that includes. ![]() Now they want $10 more when the whole idea of a season pass in the first place is that you're pre-ordering future DLC in bulk. I spent $90 on their game between the thing itself plus the pass. I understand looking at the text of the Season Pass they're technically in the right, but it still feels shitty. Them not giving the new class to people who bought the Season Pass is really terrible business, and they should fix it. (Oh and I know that they used to do stuff for HalfLife, but I doubt they were in control of the direction the game went.) In the end, I'd honestly rather them charge everyone 10 dollars. Look if you knew you were going to buy BL2 that's fine, but I think the majority of us would like to know if the game is actually worth the full price. This is a developer that has made okay - good games for the past 5-6 years. This isn't a developer that has a long storied history of making great games. Mind you, I know that Gearbox had little to do with the fact that DNF was a bad game, but it damaged their reputation in the long run. Last and certainly least Duke Nukem Forever which should've never been released at full price. Borderlands was good but had a lot of problems (some of which they haven't fixed in BL2). Brothers In arms is a good but not great series. Gearbox only has 3 franchises under it's belt. Also, this is Gearbox not Rockstar or Blizzard we're talking here. Trying to rationalize pre-order bonuses based on the so-called reputation of a developer or company is going to be bad for us in the long run. ![]() Alex Navarro on Google+įiled under: Gaige Gearbox Software LLC Borderlands I'm going to be honest you're wrong. As of now, she's the only class addition announced for the game, but Gearbox reps I spoke to didn't entirely rule out the possibility of more classes down the road, though nothing is planned currently. The mechromancer is, of course, just the first piece of DLC headed to Borderlands 2. She's definitely a neat addition to the game. She reminds me a bit of the commando class, albeit with a turret that actively seeks out and punches/blasts enemies, as opposed to remaining stationary. I actually had the chance to spend a little time messing around with Gaige last week, and found her to be one of my better-liked classes. Deathtrap has a variety of intriguing skills and abilities, many of which you can suss out by checking out Gaige's skill tree, which Gearbox handily posted here. So what is the mechromancer, exactly? The mechromancer is a girl, Gaige, who controls a mechanized buddy named Deathtrap. Anyone who grabbed one of the Premier Club editions of the game will receive the new class for free. So what does a mechromancer do? You'll find out today when the newest class for Borderlands 2 drops across all platforms.įor $10 (800 MS Points), anyone will be able to download the new, fifth class once the DLC hits the in-game shop-which it reportedly already has for Xbox 360 and PC users. There's nothing sweeter than the relationship between a girl and her floating death robot.ĭo you like mechs? Do you like romance? Well, too bad on the second part, because that's not really what a mechromancer does.
