Skibidi isn't toilet humor, it's weird as fuck absurdist something that just has a toilet around.

I feel like a game like Borderlands needs to lead, not follow. They took some risks with BL3 that did not pay off, but the playability of the game was significantly improved.

Naming a character "skibidi" is moronic in the sense that, this is already a meme. If it get put in the game, they're just trying to be cool for the sake of it. It's a very "hello, fellow kids" kind of thing.

Borderlands, instead, should have some creativity with what's being said and done in the game. Take a look at Tina for a second. When she's introduced, she's unapologetically strange. You either work with her on that level, or not at all. IMO, that's why Tina is a fan favorite. The absurd and borderline insane statements she constantly makes is the reason that she is so well liked. She makes sense in an almost frightening and sociopathic way.... And we love that about her.

Going to the length of dragging Gen Z memes into the game for no good reason isn't going to help, and will, in all likelihood, make things very bad. It's just, in bad taste, lazy, and a cop out IMO. With such interesting and absurd stuff already in the game, like butt stallion, CL4P-TP, BNK-3R, and more than I could possibly think of or remember that are amazing.... They're going to stoop to a pop culture meme instead?

Borderlands is about being weird and original with stuff, and some things really work, others, not so much. And that's what made the series great IMO. They took chances, and went out on a limb for a joke, sometimes literally.

I mean, who can forget shooty mcface? That's a footnote in a quest and it's honestly really funny, weird and something that sticks with you. That's what Borderlands should be. It's not some meme pop culture reference machine.

Inb4 an npc named Skibby D.

Paul Tassi joked that we were gonna have a gun called Hawk 2A and a fellow dev asked me if it was real and I wanted to put my hand down the sink grinder.

As long as it didn't scream "Buy muh crypto" when shooting, I would've loved the inside joke.

Imagine if gearbox actually hired writers with experience and good credits instead of just relying on their Skinner box casino loots.

Can we get whomever wrote Handsome Jack to get in charge? 2 was so great because they landed into the humor and fun of the first one instead of shying away from it.

Maybe they could go back to some of the rough, fun storytelling they nailed with the first two games? Instead of marvel-esque storytelling from the third game. Toilet humour has a place in borderlands, its filled with dumb humour and always has been, but its been in a way that feels almost natural.

A skibidi toilet reference isn't going to fit, because that's a passing meme. But shit like the ninja turtles quest in bl2, all the dumb jokes in bandit weapon names, face mcshooty, scooter's entire existence throughout the first two games, tiny Tina's character, thats all fucking awesome because we're all in on the joke and the only pop culture references are evergreen ones.

What I really want from borderlands is for them to get back to the anti-corpo/anti-capitalist messaging that was rife in the first games. Borderlands 3 felt so hollow because I almost felt like I was part of one of the corps. The ragtag group wasn't a ragtag group anymore, we had similar influence to maliwan for fucks sake and were flying all over the place dropping on planets and exerting our might. Where's the scrappy mad max vibes?

I'm sorry, but after Borderlands 3 trashed the franchise, why should we give even the slightest crap about anything Gearbox makes? They went from Handsome Jack to the farking Calypso twins. Also, Randy Pitchford is a dick.

I mean, a skibidi toilet mission would be right at home.

Based. Putting memes in media ages the content horribly.

I'm glad the guy who left a flashdrive full of porn at a Medieval Times, which he explained was there for "magic trick research" will aim for high brow stuff

You know some prankster programmer is going to put that in a comment somewhere for the lols now that he's said that

I've managed to avoid finding out what the slang term skibidi means so far, somehow.

I guess it just doesn't come up in the media I consume. Not heard Kruggsmash or Technology Connections mention it yet :-P

But yes slang aside, I've never enjoyed toilet humour, even as a child. Maybe because I'm very hygienic? It just disgusts me, haha. So this is good news.

If the story of borderlands 4 is near as interesting as skibidi toilets, i might actually play it.

I got to about level 5 in borderlands 3 and just gave up.. It felt like a slap in the face after the great stories of borderlands and borderlands 2. The third attempt seemed like it was written by 13 year old boys...

Anyone else feel like the vault hunters in this game look generic as hell? I personally can't wait to play... Guy in a hoodie.

If this is the message they took from Borderlands 3 then I don't have high hopes for this game. Borderlands 3 was boring. The story was subpar and almost every single item in the game was utterly pointless due to the ridiculously high legendary drop rate.

I just want a version that supports multiplayer on Linux. I wasn't able to experience the writing disaster that was BL3. Been stuck in single player on BL2 or the pre-sequel for years.

I can't fucking believe a fat Turkish chef went from a funny tidbit to cancer upon earth with a single sfm animation

Fart jokes are out. Time to switch to dick jokes.
