  • Kenny, me and Shark do not get along. He has been very rude to me, evidenced by the fact that some of his posts actually HAVE been deleted, and no matter how long we talk, it's clear he will not see my point of view. To avoid making a bad situation worse, I suggested we agree to disagree and move. His response made it clear he intends to stick around and keep passive-aggressively harassing me, forcing his way into several other conversations. He's even tried to engage me over PM. I've dealt with this form of harassment before, and I really don't want to deal with it here too. Believe me, it's going to get worse.

  • It's a pubic thread on a public forum, how did I force my way in exactly? My intention is not to seek you out and annoy you. All I am trying to do is have a discussion because I simply can not understand your side of what we've talked about and get answers, nothing more and nothing less.

    So again, how are you being negatively hurt by some game that hasn't released any information of what it may or may not do with Tales especially when you've made it clear you have zero interest in any of the past games or this coming one?

    You are not acting like an adult. An adult would agree to disagree and move on, not force their way into multiple conversations just to annoy someone they don't get along with.

  • Kenny, me and Shark do not get along

    I can see that.

    He has been very rude to me, evidenced by the fact that some of his posts actually HAVE been deleted, and no matter how long we talk, it's clear he will not see my point of view.

    So the thing about his posts being deleted - Blind has stated Shark has not violated any forum guidelines as of yesterday. I have not been paying enough attention to see if any of his posts have been deleted today, so whatever. And with the point of view, I haven't seen you listening to his point of view much either.

    To avoid making a bad situation worse, I suggested we agree to disagree and move. His response made it clear he intends to stick around and keep passive-aggressively harassing me, forcing his way into several other conversations.

    You know, you can just not respond to him. And 'forcing his way into several other conversations' when this is public forum when you can reply to anything. If a topic is something someone wants to join in on, I won't judge.

    He's even tried to engage me over PM. I've dealt with this form of harassment before, and I really don't want to deal with it here too. Believe me, it's going to get worse.

    Well, talking with someone over PM is not inherently harassment. Again, if you don't want to wish to deal with it, you are not forced to respond.

  • Thank you Kenny, and if need be, I'd be more than happy to provide the PM to show I'm not trying to harass anyone.

  • The comments were deleted BEFORE Blind said that, so...

    I've listened to him and talked at length with him, and no progress was made. He's not joint other conversations, but trying to pick fights with me in them by bringing up the same stuff over and over again. He's not talking to anyone else but me, just like he threatened. But we should end this discussion. I really don't want to get in trouble over him.

    Never threatened you, all i said was that I'd be here and ask my questions as I see fit to ask them. And I'm mainly talking to you in this thread because A. You started this thread and B. Have the opposing opinion. Would you rather me chat with the people who I know share my opinion and berate yours in this thread? I'd rather not thus why I haven't and why again you're my main focus in this thread. Potentially there's something to gain here but you just can't see past your own delusions that I'm trying to do you in or something.

    Wait a minute...

    I was just reading some answers in the "Jack and Sasha" thread and saw you were involved, in a very authoritative way at that, over what happens to Jack, how and why, and why this and why that about his reactions, and who is to blame and who is to be excused and all that...


    To be fair, they totally tried to kill him first.


    He was on a downward spiral, but he was far from Handsome Jack at that point.


    I don't think they were. Destroying the laser was one thing, but they didn't need to try and kill him. He was in a bad way, but hardly beyond hope. And keep in mind that they also tried to murder the people with him.


    I stand by what I said. Jack was spiraling downward, but they didn't need to kill him because he COULD or MIGHT do something even worse. [...]


    On Pandora, just about EVERYONE enjoys violence [...]


    I'm not saying the stuff Jack did IS right, just that he didn't deserve to die for it at that point. And they didn't even know about some of the stuff you mention.


    And it goes on and on with this authoritative way, even trying to explain stuff to someone else who has played the franchise...

    Care to explain ?

  • "nothing in BL3 will contradict what happens in TFTB."

    No offence, but it probably will. BL2 cocked up a ton of continuity from BL1, and likewise, The Pre-Sequel loved to cherry pick the continuity of BL1 and BL2 to suit the story, but happily ignored others bits as well. The BL writers outside of Tales always have had a problem with continuity, and I doubt BL3 is going to much better. Tales writing in my views is just a step beyond, one of the big reasons being they seem to actually pay very close attention to continuity and stick with it.

    Oh it will be. I'm sure of that. An example is how they integrated Athena in TPS from her appearance in BL1's DLC : Armory of general Knoxx,

  • No worries, no offence taken :) !

    I know what you mean. But see, well you'll tell me if you agree or not, they're making more and more efforts now with the continuity, especially since TPS and TFTB. Loops are closed and all that.
    What I mean is they probably didn't envision the popularity the franchise got over the years and weren't too concerned about it, at least not as much as they are now, see what I mean ?

  • Kindof. Personally, I think it's just that the Tales writing team are far more experienced at writing stories, and I think they hold a lot of respect for the material they are adapting.

    And I sort of see what you mean, but again, I think Tales being a game driven by story helps the quality, whereas with regular Borderlands titles, the FPS and RPG elements are what will be driving development first before plot I would imagine. Then again, with Burch gone, who knows what BL3's plot may wind up being, especially with the creator of the franchise leaving Gearbox too. Personally I'd hope they'd bring on the Tales guys, even if just as advisors or something, because I think they are nailing it.

    Oh sure, it does show, from my perspective I mean, of someone who first comes from the RPG-Shooters.

    Well it's what I was saying earlier. It's true that there are a lots of "retcons" or "odd" details that were seen in between BL1 and BL2, but then when you check TPS there are far less, and maybe only minor ones, so it shows they're taking their story more seriously as time passes and that they're strengthening it and closing plot holes, loops and such.

    I'm pretty certain that when BL3 is out it will really do justice to TFTB, as TFTB did to the franchise.
    I just hope they don't get some brand new shiny hipster as the story lead and the guy pulls "Game of Thrones" on the long times NPCs or the old playable characters left and right, just because...

  • Well, you are right about TPS, but at the same time, considering TPS had fit into the timeline, they needed to put the work for it to work, even if it doesn't fit that smoothly into the continuity. But you're right, definetly a far better effort than BL2 I reckon.

    Oh I'm referring to the TV show, not anyone at TTG. I'm referring to the constant killing of main characters that has become a "thing", a trend so to speak, something that even the MSM is reporting on a constant basis...

  • Ah right. Actually, one of my problems with BL2 was the way they killed off Bloodwind and Roland. It felt like they were always axed off, just to establish what a bastard Jack... despite us knowing that all ready. Roland's death makes so little sense, it's hilarious.

  • We were simply having a debate over whether or not it was right of Lilith, Roland, and Moxxi to betray Jack. I have never played the Borderlands games, nor have I ever said or pretended otherwise. I have, however, done quite a bit of research into Jack, by reading articles and Wiki pages, as well as watching various gameplay and analytical videos. I did this shortly after finishing the first episode of Tales, when it became clear Jack was going to become an important character. The game really needed something like TWAU's little Codex or Codec thing, because everyone on Pandora/Helios would know all about Jack.

    Geez, I don't think I like your attitude, it seems...petty.

  • Don't be jealous, there is enough Jack for everyone pumpkin. Jack should always be a part of the Borderlands story, what part he will play is up in the air, but no matter what he has left his big ole' hand print on Pandora and it's moon. There is a crack with purple goo spitting out into space as proof that Jack as there. He can be a part of both stories, he already is as the center point from which both stories revolve. There wouldn't be a Hyperion in Pandora, nor vaults opened without him pulling toggles and flipping switches like the Wizard of Oz gone psychotic.

    I want Jack in someway part of Borderlands 3, but not the focus or making him the big bad again. A mellowed out, wiser AI Jack would be good. If a war is coming they need someone like him, if anything he knows how to get stuff done and will do what it takes to do it. Just needs a good sturdy leash and training collar to yank on when he gets a little carried away with himself. No matter what they do with Jack it will make some player's choices moot. It's the nature of the format and they can't have multi-able story lines going to please everyone. Some would kill Jack off instantly, some would want him the head of Hyperion again. Me? I want him networked in like Angle with Claptrap his steward. Cause I'm a sadistic SOB and thinks Jack needs to suffer greatly to find redemption.
