Being at the top does not mean it is good. What is selling, is the name and false promises!
Sadly game developers these days only look at the sales numbers and they see that this sold good so lets take some other really popular name and slap that onto a shitty game. They dont care that the product is horiible. It brings in the $$ and that is all that matters.
The people who suffer are the ones who buy this product and future similar products.
This game will have an effect on GBX' career. With the rumors that GBX used Sega's money/time to make other games, Sega and of course other publishers are not going to want to work with GBX (well, except 2K on Borderlands 3, as it seems this is the only game GBX cares about).
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

But Borderlands 3 doesn't have a lot of sense. B2 was a overall improvement over B1 and it was really good game. For me it was more like complete overhaul of the original game. They need to fresh up formula (shoot and loot) or they gonna end up like COD. Which is not bad for them...

at the top because everyone expected the game to be like at e3
Not really, the E3 2011 demo was looking like the retail game minus the bugs. There you go:
I can see the same lol-texture, lol-shadows, lol-fire, etc.
The video with the good graphics has never been shown to the public in its entirety (I challenge you to find it, I searched and found nothing). It must have been some B-Roll footage, given to journos, but not for public release.
Yes, brief scenes from it were used in some 1 year old trailers (or was it only one?): mixed with real game footage.
But they were so brief and the trailers are old enough, that I doubt people purchased this due to seeing them. Since then they have released plenty of bad looking footage to scare away customers
The game is selling because it has the Aliens game.
Yes, Pitchford claimed the game is ORZOM!!!!!1 like he always does.
No, by and large, the trailers were cut with real gameplay footage.

The 8GB patch will give us whole new renderer to lightning, new animations, sound effects, models, better AI, better story, also HD textures + DX11.
Spoiler:
But will it give our money back?

I don't give a rat's ass about the graphics in the E3 demo. But that seems to be only me. The thing that bothers me is that the fight in the garage is full of very good scripted scenes that generate Aliens athmosphere. Marines getting pulled into vents and killed left and right while you're right in the middle of this mayhem, actually moving because it isn't a cutscene, and you're only option is to haul ass because everything is going to shit and everybody is overwhelmed. It looked genuine to me because Gearbox showed that they were using from their experience they got from working on the Half-Life franchise (OpFor came to mind instantly. Even BiA).
Then it shows the potential of adding a friggin Powerloader to the actual gameplay. Which we already had in AVP2, kinda. The cheesy USCM humor from the movies is there too (how many fingers?). So for me, it didn't look that fancy but it looked promising gameplay wise.
I also remembered talk of specific classes for the Co-Op throughout the early time of developement (Engineers, Grunt, Specialists and Medic).
But in the end we got almost nothing of that. Instead we have a cheesy love story, characters who are bland, faceless and very unlikeable (and stupid). The jokes aren't cheesy, they're just bad. And they have the balls to add stupid generic human enemies to the fray... I hoped that I won't see that shit since it isn't a game in the AvP Universe.. but nope... that shit alone made the Aliens even more unimportant because the game successfully makes you feel that this situation is more about the WY Mercs than the Aliens... and that final boss fight against the Queen.. WTF!?! The Marine campaign bossfight in AvP2 (yes, AvP2) was already bad... but this topped it massively. WTF was up with that?
There were only 2 levels/segments I enjoyed at least a little. The sewer level and the later (short) part where you had to save a couple of marines (with actualy scripted scenes! which were bad...).
So infact, not only the E3 demo itself upsets me but also that everyone who's talking/ranting about it is focused on the graphics only (which weren't even good).
Adding small details from the movie doesn't make it any better.
This is no Aliens game.. it's Call of Duty in Space. Hell, the SP is even worse than CoD.

Why is DPS recording his gaming sessions with a camera?
Why not just screendump video and audio?
It always looks like some shitty cam version (you know, like the latest movie releases) while looking at his videos...
Yeah, most people talk badly about him because of what he says and how he plays (and mind you, I agree with them... He's fucking obnoxious)... But what makes me fucking angry is the abysmal quality on his videos, not just the actual video quality but even the audio quality sucks utter ass. I mean, he currently has 126,627 subscribers, he gets more than enough money from his videos to upgrade his recording equipment and yet he doesn't... That kinda shows how much he really cares about his videos doesn't it?
I mean, I can kinda understand why some people subscribe to PewdiePie... I think he's also very annoying and I don't like his stuff but I understand it. But DSP, I just don't get it...
I subbed him because of "Schadenfreude"
He's so derp, it gives me a good time
