Borderlands fans, however, had their eyes fixed on more substantial matters: the new vault hunters, whose reveal has divided opinions.

One of the complaints is that they&#8217;re all human\u2014no robots, no aliens. As they do the slo-mo shoulder-to-shoulder astronaut walk together in the trailer, they all have the same expression and their clothes are similar, so I get the complaint. But maybe we just haven&#8217;t seen enough of them to know what makes them distinct.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of fans are pushing back on the negativity, and in fact much of the conversation I&#8217;m seeing is more about the nature of reveals and fan reactions than expectations for the game itself. &#8220;One of the greatest things I&#8217;ve read on here is that if you love a game, don&#8217;t visit its subreddit,&#8221; said <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Borderlands\/comments\/1hd4nao\/i_think_most_of_this_fanbase_just_wants\/m1uvofa\/\" target=\"_blank\">one wise Borderlands fan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a pretty normal response to a big reveal from a long-running series\u2014scattered feelings of disappointment countered with variations of &#8216;unpopular opinion: I liked it&#8217;\u2014but it does speak to the challenge of keeping a long running series fresh. The Borderlands games have all been hits, but no series is bulletproof. There used to be armies of Halo fans who&#8217;d descend on you if you said a single bad word about the Chief, and back then I never thought I&#8217;d see the series as disrespected as it was <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/this-halo-infinite-screenshot-looks-bad-but-at-least-its-honest\/\">when Halo: Infinite was revealed<\/a>\u2014that was brutal.<\/p>\n<p>The Borderlands movie that finally came out this year wasn&#8217;t exactly a blockbuster\u2014we <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/movies-tv\/the-borderlands-movie-is-such-an-irredeemable-mess-it-had-me-longing-for-1993s-super-mario-bros\/\">called it &#8220;an irredeemable mess&#8221;<\/a>\u2014so Randy Pitchford and company are perhaps under a little extra pressure to prove they still have it.
