Simon Weatherall of This Is My Joystick writes "One of the best games to come out of 2009 was Gearbox Software’s Borderlands. This game has everything. It has class, it has replay value and it has so many different varieties of weapons that you can easily see why millions of people have been playing it all over the world. It’s been nearly a year since I bought two copies of the game for me and my girlfriend and set out on the epic mission of killing everything that dared to attack us as we traversed the world of Pandora. After several conversations with Andy C, we started to pull apart this masterpiece, not only praising Gearbox for successfully mashing together various different elements into the game, but finding ways that if we were the developers, we would improve it for the next game.
At this point I figured what the hell; maybe I should write this stuff down and see what the rest of the world thinks."
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

I love Borderlands. I still pop it in every once in a while.
For me, I'd like the clothing/vehicle customization that Gearbox originally envisions for the first game. And of course, I'd want more weapon variety and a new option for custom melee weapon types.
More melee options, more ammo variants, better transition to worlds, better netcode (GameSpy sucks balls) if I joined a game with two friends who had been speaking on voice chat I had to wait five minutes for my ps3 to catch up with everything they had said
