I think its about time people saw Gearbox for what it really was. A developer that has made 1 good game and 1 mediocre game. The rest of their projects have been awful.

Whilst I agree with BL2 was a great game. BL1 was incredibly mediocre, the Half Life expansions they made sucked, and I've never even heard of Brothers in Arms. But games they've developed aside, I'm also talking about their business practices. Which by now should be known was some of the worst in the industry.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on just about all of their games except for BL2. Opposing Force and Decay are two of my favorite games in the Half-Life series. And Brothers in Arms is one of the best WWII-class shooter series ever. Borderlands was a very successful attempt at a loot-driven shooter. Just suffered from weak story elements. But, I think the RPG mechanics and beautiful visuals made up for it. I'm not one for graphics comparisons, but I just love the unique and comic-book-like art style of the Borderlands games. I don't really see how anyone outside of the industry could know that much about their business practices. From what I can see, video game journalists are wildly speculating on what happened during the A:CM development process based on the testimony of one former Gearbox developer who supposedly posted on a reddit forum. Obviously, I'm not privy to anything that goes on at Gearbox internally and I haven't observed a long enough track record of poor product execution to pass judgment on their business. Not saying you're wrong or that I'm right. I'm just not going to hop on the hate train because of one bad game.
