With a budget of around $120 million, Borderlands stands to lose the studio a lot of money. Although Lionsgate did mitigate some of the risks by selling foreign rights, sources told Deadline that Borderlands could still lose as much as $30 million. “The success of our financial models doesn’t take the place of also getting the creative right,” Feltheimer added long during the pandemic, and reshoots and rising interest rates took it outside the safety zone of our usual strict financial models,” Feltheimer said.

    The second one has an ok story and great comedy writing. However it’s clever writing that often only works if you are playing the game.

    The Claptrap birthday quest is hilarious but can only work if you are the player. The anoying robot throws himself a birthday party and assigns you to deliver the invitations and get the pizza.

    A timer flashes on screen and all the locations are marked on the map. So a standard hit all the locations before the timer runs out mission.

    Only the timer doesn’t start but you probably don’t notice or think it starts after the first location. You deliver the invitations and each person declines.

    You return with the pizza and then the timer starts. The timer is for how long you have to stay at the party as the only person who shows up.
