I enjoyed it. Nevermind the story happening in the background, and I never cared for BL before. This one finally felt like the gameplay was refined enough to hold my interest, and I rarely play first-person games.
I picked up BL2 to go back and see if my opinion would change, and it has not. That game is rough by comparison, even simple quality-of-life changes were immediately missed.
The setting for BL seems promising, if only another team could take it over and spin it into something more like a Bioware classic. Would love to see what they could do putting a real story and characters (plus companions) to it, instead of being another shoot-and-loot.

Reply to comment by kingofzdom in Rovio delists the original Angry Birds due to 'impact' on free-to-play variants by StrngBrew
Worked for Plants vs Zombies. They took a commercial game and injected a bunch of IAP into it. Then when they developed a fully freemium one that was built from ground-up around IAP, they started disappearing the alternative.
At least this proves that if people had the choice, they'd take the pay-once version.

It's global, last I heard on the news it's still unknown how many of the cuts will be in the US.

Reply to comment by kmvaa14 in TIL for the Untouchables Brian De Palma casted Bob Hoskins in case De Niro could not appear. De Palma mailed Hoskins a check for his contracted fee of $200,000 with a "Thank You" note, which prompted Hoskins to call up De Palma and ask him if there were any more films he didn't want him to be in. by KongoOtto
Was just thinking the same thing. DeNiro in the movie just looks like DeNiro with some makeup, Hoskins could have looked the part.

I like how they complain their sales aren't what they hoped, yet half the systems still have unannounced release dates.
I would sit and wait, the price will continue to fall as they get more desperate.
