Borderlands film getting destroyed by critics. Disappointing because there is soooooo much potential there
I just finished Borderlands 3. It's the first and only Borderlands game I've ever played. I didn't know there was a Boderlands movie in the works. It was surprising to hear how much of a flop it is considering the rich source material from the games.

I enjoyed Borderlands 3.
I just finished the game and I enjoyed it also. I remember a few years ago I started to play a Borderlands game, but for some reason it didn't click for me. I guess it was the cartoonish vibe I got from the game.(?) I don't remember which Borderlands game it was.

Did you play the other Borderlands games and if so, which do you recommend?

2 is considered one of the GOATS. I think its available on PSVR too (the original)

I dabbled in 2, but never deep dived into the game for some reason (I think at the time I had a few games that had my interest). It looked great from what I could tell.

Yup, I've heard the same. Actually read a headline that said it was the worst video game adaptation ever. I guess they never saw Street Fighter. :laugh:

Bummer though, as like you said, there was a lot of potential there and I want those kind of movies to do well.
Street Fighter is bad, but it isn't the worst movie adaptation of a video game. That title probably belongs to House of the Dead or Alone in the Dark or Far Cry, which all are directed by Uwe Boll. :muttley:

I'm going to be honest with you guys, I didn't even know a Far Cry movie existed. It looks horrible from that trailer. :laugh:
Uwe Boll adaptations are less known than Street Fighter & Super Mario Bros. but they're worse.

I watched Far Cry with some friends, but we used a drinking game to help get through it. :laugh:

Gamefly is shipping me Star Wars: Outlaws. I'm excited to try it.

Also, for anybody that cares, COD Black Ops 6 beta is this Friday. If you have GamePass on PC/Xbox, you will have access to it.

Thinking about getting Star Wars Outlaws. It's developed by Massive Entertainment and it looks fun.

I got Star Wars Outlaws and I'm having fun! The gameplay is similar to Red Dead Redemption and Ghost of Tsushima, if you like those games and the original Star Wars trilogy lore, check it out! :thumbup:

Was hoping to get it in the mail by this weekend. No such luck. With the holiday tomorrow, I'm guessing I will see it on Tuesday. Interested in playing it.
