The Borderlands 3 reveal on May 1 was almost great, if not for all the drama.

It was looking good at first for developer Gearbox Software. Despite the questionable choice to have embattled studio founder and CEO Randy Pitchford serve as the hype man on stage, the game does a fine job of making a case for its own existence.
