The last year or so I’ve been exposing Ki11erSix and the Pillars Of The Shillers for their involvement in helping Gearbox ruin the Borderlands Franchise by silencing ANY NEGATIVE OPINIONS over the last few years…so let’s talk about WHY Ki11erSix would even THINK about adding me to the Stream Team…
Borderlands 2 is a 2012 first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. Taking place five years following the events of Borderlands (2009), the game is again set on the planet of Pandora. The story follows a new group of Vault Hunters who must ally with the Crimson Raiders, a resistance group made up of civilian survivors and guerrilla fighters, to defeat the tyrannical Handsome Jack before he can unlock the power of a new Vault. The game features the ability to explore the in-game world and complete main missions and optional side quests, either in offline splitscreen, single-player or online cooperative gameplay. Like its predecessor, the game features a procedurally generated loot system which is capable of generating numerous combinations of weapons and other gear.
With the unexpected success of the first game, Gearbox was able to secure a budget of $30–35 million to develop the sequel. Like its predecessor, the game adopted the “concept art style”, which features graphics inspired by both photorealistic imagery and comic-book-inspired visuals. The team attempted to address players’ feedback from the first game, and recruited Anthony Burch who wrote the game’s script which is seven times longer than that of the original game. Among the game’s diverse cast of characters, Handsome Jack, the central antagonist, was created to be a charismatic “douche” that mirrors Burch’s own personality. Borderlands 2 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September 2012, and it was ported to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of The Handsome Collection in March 2015.
The game received universal acclaim upon release. Critics generally praised the game’s visuals, writing, gameplay, and online multiplayer, as well as its variety of guns, while criticising its mission design and content fillers. The handheld and the virtual reality versions of the game were regarded to be inferior to the console and PC versions. More than 20 million units were shipped upon release and the game became 2K’s most successful release. It was nominated for multiple year-end accolades by several gaming publications. Gearbox supported the game with four add-on campaigns, new characters and five content packs. The game was followed by Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel in October 2014, and Borderlands 3 in September 2019. According to leaks in August 2023 Gearbox Software has officially begun development of Borderlands 4 on the Unreal Engine 4.

Honestly at this point I’m questioning if I even should keep watching k6 and joltz, I love their content but they knew that borderlands 3 was unfinished when it launched and they didn’t tell us, even if they had a contract or anything like that it’s still sad that they allowed that. Now with borderlands 4 coming soon, they are not even talking about how amazing borderlands 4 needs to be or the franchise will die, they are the only ones who have enough audience to make a real difference and still doing nothing. It’s a shame too because if borderlands I’d be so sad, I play borderlands 2 since I’m 9 and ten years later the amazing franchise is dying due to poor management
Not the DSP clip lmaooo
Yes MAK we are all behind you to save Borderlands
BL4 will end up being the best game in the franchise after all the work MAK has been doing. You’ve put the pressure on them & make no mistake about it Gearbox is DEFINITELY watching these vids & are aware of the situation wether they admit it or not. I also believe a lot of people that got contracts with gearbox to stream past games won’t get them this next time around 😉.
These last few months, I've been back on your channel, and a lot of gaps have been filled in. You were my go-to guy for BL2 and Destiny content from launch. I lost respect for Gearbox/2K when I bought The Pre-Sequel with a season pass on my PS3 (THEY SAID IT WOULDN'T BE COMING TO THE PS4 BTW) and they gave me an arena, 2 characters, and 1 actual DLC. I was mad because they conned me. Then it was released on the current gen consoles anyways as part of The Handsome Collection that I would have gotten for BL2 ALONE, and it was $60 for both! I just spent $90 six months prior to not get what I paid for, at a higher cost and for a lower quality than if I had waited 6 months.
Fast forward to BL3 and I made that mistake again where I pre-ordered out of reputation, knowing Gearbox and (not 2K Australia) was back to making their games. Then, the BL3 story just killed me as a fan, and they RUINED Rhys and Vaughn because Gearbox can't write for shit. It was terribly stuttery and had horrible loading times to top it off. The game just felt hollow and I wasn't pulled in even by the gameplay. They also made the maps way too big for no real reason.
I got the platinum trophy for kicks and didn't play the gay tentacles DLC because I knew it would make me cringe. I hadn't played since the release of that DLC. I didn't pick it back up til several months ago (around the same time you did, in fact) and played the free upgrade you get on PS5 for owning the PS4 version (at least they did that). I had fun for a while, but the story is still trash. Still haven't played tentacles, but did play Jackpot and Krieg DLC's and they weren't bad. After that I was done again and don't see myself going back.
I'm not going to pre-order BL4 for several reasons, other than Gearbox tricking me out of money in the past. We know it's a rushed release (when will corporations learn that quality is more profitable in the long-term?), Gearbox's bad reputation and scummy corporate behavior, CEO Randy Pitchford, speculation about Joltz going to play BL4 and admitting the franchise is dead, SupMatto (never forget), Mikey Newman is not longer at Gearbox, and talk to Lilith. I'm sure I can think of a few more reasons. In fact, I was thinking of saying "Randy" twice and "Randy USB" once and "Randy Hotel Chokehold" another time.
MAK and Kat Williams just out here airing all this shit out nowadays lmfao and I couldn’t be happier for you Jay “the truth shall set you free” and now the king has finally returned to take back his throne from these corporate yes men. Your ppl got your back and they can either fix the franchise with us or watch it burn to the ground without us
Love that dsp reference lol
Bro awesome video ❤
Oscar worthy pacing. This is fucking awesome man.
I think the really telling thing you point out, and how I've also felt in my experiences, they didn't view you as a community leader because you're not affiliated with them. Even though anyone who came from bl2 -> bl3 certainly did. Including the shills who dont f/w you now.
It’s great that the believe in “redemption”. To bad they don’t believe in it enough to redeem their own products. I think the thing that I’m struggling with is that the borderlands franchise is purely a PVE game, and they will willing nerf “overpowered” builds/weapons/gear, but they will leave shit like under performing auto rifle crit in Borderlands 2. Like seriously, where the damn shoe all the time, not just when it “suits” you gearbox. But totally agree, if they want to sell more games, make it for the gamers, and address the issues that gamers are calling out.
MAK I know you've been hitting somewhat of a brickwall here with folks still not bein able to wake up and see the forest for the trees. I want to suggest possibly highlightin other content creators who are CURRENTLY in a similar boat, but with devs who actually want to make their game better and use content creators as a direct link to the broader gamin community, and free QA to boot. The real problem here that I see is that Gearbox is a publicly traded company and therefore has to prioritize profits over good, inspired gamin. So will they ever be willin to actually and genuinely work with the community to make any more great experiences or have they completely devolved into vampirism. We'll yet see. But highlightin other similar situations in the broader gamin world such as Spudhunter and his direct involvement with the Dark and Darker devs to continually better balance their game and more importantly his fight against rnt gamers from etchisketchistan, or Ross at Accursed Farms work to try and mobilize the gamin community to stop companies from completely killin games. i.e. not supporting servers indefinitely. Ross is going to the extent of seeking legal counsel from anyone willin and in a position to help. It's a bit of a David and Goliath situation here as it is Corporate culture itself we are going up against, not just one video game company. But we have a lot more Davids than there are Goliaths so yeah, pointin out some other examples of content creators and their extended communities, in similar and like situations as yourself and the Borderlands community, may help to wake some of these yunguns up. Peace. 🤘😎🤘
I can't wait for the Netflix documentary
Completely off topic but Extra rarities like Seraphs and pearls need to be in Bl4
Bro Mak please make your next post about him the one where he has ice cream on his face 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that shit had me rolling when I saw that
I love you MAK always telling the mother fucking truth been with you since the release of borderlands 2 I remember many years ago playing the snowman DLC on thanksgiving or Christmas I can’t remember on ps4 while you were drunk as shit you have been nothing but a real one only reasons you have you haters is because some people can’t handle the truth
Save borderlands.
Pffft you dotn even strean it
You dont do the hunt
You dont csre about the kids
You milk other peopels shit
Shame your fiance was the one who died
She probably contributed more towards this earth than you ever will
MAK if you had signed the deal with gearbox for pre sequel would we be calling you MORNING AFTER SHILL and you be shooting the breeze with ya batty boys shiller 6 and jolted bolted😬perish the thought what a nightmare👀keep the vidyas coming MAK
"If they wanted to sell the game better, they should have made the game better" – legendary wisdom from a legend
I can't believe that they tried to buy you after everything that happened before hand thinking that they can sensor you. Thank you MAK for not becoming a shill despite them making it easy for you to do so
For a few days now, MAK's videos are no longer showing up in my search (or at some point way down)…. CENSORSHIP???
imagine borderlands 4 is great and all these videos would be pointless you have no evidence of nothing baseless claims miking views on a dead channel
Used to love mak but at this point all he’s doing for views is talking about joltz and k6 the two people that don’t care for drama and it’s a bit tasteless just let them be at the end of the day gearbox will be gearbox and joltz doesn’t even respond to your videos just do your own thing and let them be
@6:53 WHATTTT!? Hahahah now that sounds like a hilarious story, let’s speed run the rest of today so I can hear tomorrows video
Isn't all of this vitriol solely because you didn't receive an NDA and they did.
So you disclosed a bunch of shit that you technically weren't supposed to?
I mean I never got to play bl2 in time because it was too expensive and I didn't have the game or laptop or time in grad school etc. I got BL3 and all expansions on discount like in 2020 or 2021 or something so… I'm late to the party.
Also Randy > 2k/Gearbox
Fuck wokeness
BL2 Urntil I die! 😃😃😃😃
I am so exvited for tomorrows video
Whichever direction the movie/4th game goes, I believe that you would’ve had some kind of influence so either way here’s hoping the borderlands franchise receives justice.
