>I have no idea why this started a big franchise

BL2 was bankrolled by funding misappropriation, with SEGA's money they gave for used on Aliens: Colonial Marines used on Gearbox's own IP instead. BL1 is dry, but the sequels make me take some of the stuff for granted. Able to pick up a rifle off the ground with no gimmicky bullshit and actually lasting a few levels if it's good quality, and no obnoxious writing.

Of all games I found that Roboquest filled the void somewhat despite being a bit different genre-wise. Still, hard to believe that game apparently took EIGHT fucking years to get to where it finished for good.

probably something like racism or ethnic cleansing. Especially with the hysteria, doing tests about physical appearance to determine if the are undesirables and giving them refuge in your home
