I really don't know what can they make. Most likely skipping this title since I don't want to support this shit.

I feel like its sorta obvious what he means...with all the DLC that BL2 had this just seems like more, instead of a real sequel, it looks like it might be overpriced DLC sold as a full priced game, time will see though.

Pre-order for sure, same as with first and second BL. Game looks like BL2 but as they say its a pre-alpha so it will be probably changed (HUD can stay the same cus its good but I would like to see new weapons models)
Also...a randomly generated "dungeons" would be nice

Being developed by 2K Australia? Well them, it'll definitely have an Australia Tax added...

No difference in classes ? No difference in guns ? No difference in skills ? No difference in world ? No difference in artifacts ? No difference in some gameplay mechanics ? No difference in graphics ?
Well sir...you must be blind
And if you find it boring...play with friends. I never found any of BL boring (well, except after xxx hours at 5th-6th playthrough..) but playing it in co-op is even better than solo.

I agree with arronasu, Borderlands is basically Diablo turned into a 1st person shooter. Sure, grinding for levels and loot can be fun for a while and you can certainly kill leveled enemy X with a sniper rifle, a melee attack or a bazooka, but in the end you do exactly the same thing over and over and over...and over again. More enemies scaled to your level, more loot with slightly better stats, more mindless shooting.
That said, I don't think it's terrible. I played through the first part and even started a second playthrough before I got bored, in Borderlands 2 I already got bored before I finished it for the first time since it was basically the same game (still plan to finish it eventually though) and this new Borderlands title looks exactly like the first two parts as well. Yawn.
To each their own I guess.

Except that in most games (at least those that I like to play) you don't do mindless things over and over again. Borderlands and Diablo and lots of similar games are all about grinding. Grind, grind, grind. There is neither an intellectual challenge (no puzzles, no strategy etc) nor a dexterity challenge (quick aiming, twitch skills, jumping, platforming whatever). It's just mindlessly killing stuff to level up and find better loot. In Diablo it's certainly worse than in Borderlands since in Diablo all you really have to do is push the left mouse button, while in Borderlands you at least have to aim and sometimes even hide. But all enemies are leveled and even for a shooter it's a very simple and easy game.
The reason why people play these games is simple - it's addictive, like a drug. Each time you find a new, better weapon your mind tells you that you've been rewarded, each time you level up the same happens. And that makes you keep playing. It doesn't matter to most people that it's completely pointless since everything else levels with you. It's very much like this (only imagine a happy bunny, it's the first one I found). And it's also exactly the same principle as this. Only without investing money...yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold those gold keys in BL3 for real money. Would be an awesome business concept for a game like that.

Well quick aiming and stuff is pretty much required in Borderlands for big boss baddies.
But there is no game that you wont do same thing at entire gameplay. I've recently finished Dust: An elysian tail. And ? Slashing, jumping, getting new skills over and over. Earlier I finished Kingdoms of Amalur. Running, questing, crafting, slashing.
Every game is like that. Even the hardest logical games - cus youre doing the same thing over and over, in this case solving puzzles or smth that are based around the same scheme. Let's say - Portal series. The puzzles are different but it the end all you do is to look around, pop portal here, pop portal there, push this button and proceed to next level.
And once I've tried to mindless chop enemies with Krieg in BL2. It ended up going into FFYL after few second.
Anyway, that's all not the point. arronasu said that he doesnt see any difference between two BL's. And I've just pointed it out that he is totally wrong. Blah - after going back to BL1 I immediately found out what things are missing in first game that the second game had...and now I'll always will be complaining about not being able to crawl in FFYL in first BL XD (its really annoying after playing second BL)

I thought the telltale one was going to explain the story of handsome jack, but nevermind.

That's... nice I guess. At least Gearbox's games fall in price fast-ish so I won't need to wait long for a good sale. Though the oxygen mechanic sounds like a tedious chore (I like the Borderlands games, but let's be honest- they ALWAYS massively fuck something up, and constantly draining oxygen sounds like the prime suspect here).

I like Borderlands and agree with this, I played the 2nd one, its not bad but I liked the first better, the first had a better loot system imo and felt like Diablo to me which I loved about it.

Borderlands 1 is awesome. Borderlands 2 is even more awesome, from what I hear (still in my backlog).
However, 2K really likes to go to town with DLCs so I'll keep my money this time.
Also, new Borderlands gameplay looks like more of the same.

My opinion?
I hope the game doesn't cost $60, $30 will benefit the game. Why? Bungie's Destiny which is also a game that blends FPS and RPGs mechanics like the Borderlands series is set to release during September. Destiny is also an MMO(-esque) game that is planned to have a 10-15 year lifespan (if successful). I do not see it competing very well since the hype is pretty huge, but it's not coming out on PC at launch.
We'll probably see memes as hinted by the game's title which is a shame if true since that's what I hated about Borderlands 2.
