ITT: Real life video game villains that got away with it
>Gearbox funnels money from ACM to fund Borderlands 2

Brava Gearbox and Randy

why? I got the first one on a Steam sale and it was so fucking boring... literally the best part was the intro song.

Close enough.
You forgot the part where the continually patched Colonial Marines until it was fucking great. Isolation flopped because it was shit. Colonial marines had nothing to do with it.

> Colonial Marines is great
What parallel universe do you live in? Patches fixed some bugs sure, but they didn't fix the awful AI, animations, half the game being about fighting generic soldiers, or stuff like grenades being worthless.

I just finished the game a couple days ago. You're full of shit.

If they made so much money off PC, Sega would make at least make games multiplat with PS4 and PC. But nope, gotta give the PC Dogs old, eaten, and chewed console scraps. I swear, by the time a Sega game comes from console to PC, the plate has already been licked clean.

Except for the Total War series, I guess.

They just publish that, Sega doesn't have a single finger involved in that. Meanwhile they make nothing but Sonic, Yakuza, and Miku, and they MIGHT port an old console game to PC.
I honestly wonder if this would be a better model instead of simply porting old games no one asked for. I mean, the whole Yakuza 5 fiasco was hardly worth it for Sega in the first place, despite the localization being nothing more than volunteer work.

Fuck, just realized that was bait. Sorry for taking it.

Is it Homeworld?Who the actual fuck thought Deserts of Kharak was a good idea?

YeahI'm still holding out hope that it will be good, but definitely waiting for reviews. For what its worth most of the game was developed before Gearbox had anything to do with it.
