Not holding my breath...

Predictions:

Dany's gonna die, probably assassinated by Bronn, hired by Tyrion so he can finally get his castle. Jon's not gonna want the throne, but it's gonna be pushed on him anyway, he may refuse it categorically, plunging Westeros in turmoil, or Tyrion's gonna get on the throne, he may also be eaten by Drogon, "eat the help" you know.

It's the logical ending if Chekov's gun applies. But... seeing as they did a crap job with Chekov's gun since they left the books material behind, I doubt these predictions are going to be accurate.

Predictions:
Sansa, with or without Tyrion, ends up on the throne.
Daenerys dead by Jon's hand.
Jon heads north to join the Wildlings.
Drogon does whatever he wants.

Borderlands 3 GOTY on Steam for $9.99 in 2022 - and then I will pull the trigger.

Given the shit that Randy has been saying about Steam on Twitter (and how much he's been slobbering EGS's knob), I'm not entirely sure it'll ever be on Steam. It seems like he's intent on burning that bridge.

He should remember something about gamers.

They never forget.
They never forgive.

They will hold him to whatever scorched earth campaign he's on.

Angsty textual diarrhea.

I've spoken to several current and former BioWare employees since my article went live today, including some I hadn't interviewed earlier. General consensus has been sadness and disappointment at BioWare's statement, which read as disheartening to those who hoped for change.

Something like that, I have no idea what this is supposed to be... I guess this is a definitive "nowhere else" post? I bought my key at Green Man Gaming, so I assume they won't be sold there afterwards?

Edit: I just saw this was from GamesPlanet, not Ubisoft directly. Still weird... Did Epic throw money at Ubisoft or something? Jesus.

How long till EA pulls the plug on BioWare to appease investors?

Will Anthem ever get the patches it needs to be a fun game?

You think the full team will stay on Anthem, developing the live service? The skeleton crew will be 10 people at best and those 10 people will not be the best and brightest. And you think they can fix what 300 developers couldn't do in 6 years? Pretty sure Anthem and Bioware are both dead, they just don't know it yet.

EDIT: I just checked the price of The Division 2... There is no season pass available (not even with the "ultimate" edition), just a one-year-pass... And it's a price like this would be an Apple product? WTF?! Sorry, Ubi. I am very interested in this game but not willing to be turned into an Apple customer or a Star Citizen whale. You can keep your game.

Borderlands 2 basically has the best shooter loot system. Period.

Ooooh... Yeah... I'm gonna have to... sort of, disagree with you on that.

The drop rate was good

No, the drop rate in Borderlands 2 was fucking GARBAGE. NOTHING dropped in Borderlands 2. You could farm that dragon at the end fifty times in a row and not have it drop a single fucking useful thing.

the drops were interesting

Well, they COULD be, if they ever dropped. But they never did. And Borderlands 2 had the most awesome legendary weapons. Just truly laugh out loud weaponry, totally awesome build-changing weaponry, monstrously OP weaponry. It was fantastic.

None of it ever fucking dropped. The drop rate was so MMO-like that they put that stupid chest in town so that people could at least get level-appropriate weapons SOME way, and not be fucking stuck with shit weapons where it took you 40 seconds to kill a single mook.

It was so bad that they eventually changed it, after three years of people bitching about it.

the escalation of weaponry as you leveled up was tasty

Are we talking about the same Borderlands 2 here? BL2 had the exact same problem as Anthem. It was the same weapon dropping over and over, just with a few extra % damage on it. Are you not confusing it with the original Borderlands? The first BL was awesome, because it had the x1 to x4 modifier for elemental damage, which made some guns just crazy fun. When I played that the first time, it dropped a X3 Acid SMG for me at like level 8 (when Acid was the God-element), and I proceeded to roflcopter through the next 15 hours just watching everything melt into puddles. And there truly WERE billions of different guns in BL1, as opposed to BL2, where it was like 12 guns just with tiny variations in stats.

and the rare guns were interesting, the relic guns were all fascinating.

That I totally agree with. They had AWESOME guns. They just never dropped (I mean, WHY? Why make all these amazing guns IF THEY NEVER DROP.) Fortunately some enterprising genius found a way to modify the drop rates with cheat engine, and with that running, the game was fantastic.

But vanilla BL2 had the same fucking "Let's just drop the same eight guns over and over for the next 30 levels" bullshit as Anthem does (albeit less terrible, since at least it didn't have dead modifiers, which is just about ALL you get out of Anthem.)

If Destiny 2 had the kind of loot system that BL2 has, it'd probably be my favorite FPS ever. I don't know why loot & shoot devs don't realize this.

Agreed. People hated (justifiably) Diablo 3's loot, until loot 2.0, which literally SHOWERS you with loot.

GIVE YOUR PLAYERS FUN LOOT IN A FUCKING LOOT SHOOTER, YOU IMBECILES.

I actually like that about their games. It's more important that the atmosphere is so good than having some backstory spelled out to compel my interest. It's like discovering an alien world every time because you really don't know what to expect.

Dark Souls Diablo doesn't sound bad to me at all... but considering they canceled this as well as the other mystery D4 project at Blizzard that really means they are NOT working on a D4 right now. Mind blown. That company is run by dilettantes.
