This just in: one of the biggest douches you know is still a massive tool
Brothers in Arms is one of my favourite series of all time, and for years I was disappointed that they never greenlit a sequel to BiA2.
I get now that it’s probably for the best, having seen how awful this turd is.
Kinda a double dose of dumb there. The Beatles were prolific af, AND 1 in 4 songs were top 10. They could easily spawn a dozen memorable bands with all their music. But sure, lol.
Yeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers :
The group’s “main catalogue”—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs
So that’s like 50+ songs that were “hits”, wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards
Also, it’s not like the songs that didn’t make the charts were bad, they just didn’t hit the charts.
Back then I believe only singles were eligible for the charts, not the rest of the album.
Also, back then, and up until the late 00s, you bought albums, singles were a thing and plenty popular, but mainly if you liked a band you bought their album.
The beatles hit number 1 for 90% of their studio albums.

And their worst album (yellow submarine) was 3rd.

I get what you’re saying, but this is a completely useless metric.
Yeah idk what else can be a testimony of a game being a “hut” ; I don’t trust metacritic scores either
Sale count and player numbers on launch would be better I suppose
Yeah, thats why they were world famous and had people literally swarming them everywhere they went: because only 25% of their songs were good.
Yeah.
In fairness to the guy, IMO a lot of their lesser known stuff is lesser known for a reason. Its filler, its not bad its just not very good. And compared to their best work, its a turd in a punchbowl.
But to compare yourself to “The Beatles” of your industry is very close to the height of arrogance. I mean, I loved the Borderlands games, Gearbox might be selling out shows but they arent filling arenas.
I honestly disagree that the Beatles were putting out “filler”. Much of Beatles’ lesser known stuff wasn’t filler, it was just not as popular. There’s some real quality and ingenuity in the vast majority of Beatles songs. There’s definitely some weaker songs that could be polished a bit, but even those songs often were inspirational for the entire industry.
Honestly, name any song and it’s probably well known for something.
Rocky Raccoon.
I just wanted to throw out one of their lesser-played songs.
Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it’s one of me and my friends’ favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.
The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul’s affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.
They should’ve used it in GotG 3, honestly.
This guy is literally the gaming industry equivalent of Yoko Ono. Some groups/companies are worse, but they’re less known because they often don’t speak so much. This guy just can’t shut up.
IDK, seems rude to compare her to this absolute fuckwit. Yoko gets a bad rap because Beatles fans were
racistjealous and accused her of some insane shit. Everyone knows some of her music, but she was an insanely influential performance and installation artist even before getting with John, and that’s not to mention her peace advocacy. Admittedly though her music, while influential artistically and based on traditional tonal performance styles, really really sucks.Meanwhile though, Pitchford is exactly as annoying to listen to but has -zero- redeeming qualities. Seriously, fuck this guy.
The Beatles once said they were bigger than Jesus. Pitchford is claiming to be as good as the Beatles. Pitchford is claiming to be better than Jesus.
Ok Christian Fundies, cancel this man!
That dlc was cooking forever. I’m so confused as to why it has the bugs it does.
They apparently rewrote a lot of the code for unclear reasons.
Pretty sure it’s cause they did it without the original people (or person, not sure how many) who did the code. And so what ends up happening is the new people come in, don’t understand why things were made the way they were, and try to rework stuff to be better. Whether it actually is needed or not is a different question but either way reworking large parts of your code is bound to lead to bugs and problems.
Randy is still the most unscrupulous man in gaming, and he has a lot of competition.
His one hit was completely by accident.
Goddam that’s a bar. Lmao
Hey Randy, show us a magic trick and fuck off!
Oh but we should not forget they murdered Homeworld 3 too!
Shlappp
Get the Beatles name out of your mouth
That makes sense randy, because i hate the fucking Beatles.
I don’t think theres anyone I despise as much as Pitchford. Whenever he comes on my feed it seems as if he does something to make me dislike him more.
Also the Beatles were garbage so his comparison is apt.

Your welcome to your personal opinions of course but the Beatles were obviously both popular and commercially successful.

Anyone involved in commercial art would love to sell that many units.
Some people love to say like “the Beatles were trash” or “overrated” but I’m always like by what metric? They’re commercially and critically acclaimed. Why would anyone else care about one random nobody’s opinion? Especially one that isn’t showing any work for how they came to it.
“I don’t like it” =/= “it’s bad” is a distinction many people don’t respect.
