BL2 was great. Some of its DLC was even better. Assault on Dragon Keep is one of the best looter shooters ever made. The gameplay was a blast. The jokes were funny..And out of left field it broke your fucking heart by secretly being about a young, traumatized girl's grief.

3 was the best out of all of them from a gameplay perspective. People don't like the story but I never cared for any of the borderlands stories personally.

Well most review sites give it high scores with the negatives being primarily the performance so at least this time there might be a good game in there somewhere underneath all those shader compilation stutters

Borderlands 3 was significantly better, in my opinion.

So, BL3 wasn't great. the pre-sequel was out of house and doesn't really count. It was made in an entirely other culture. It's not like there have been a lot of games since BL2.

I honestly don't understand the hate.

Or come up free on EGS.

I can think of just 1 guy who is even more of a used car salesman... Chris Roberts. Literally has been selling digital spaceships like used cars. Including the actual prices of the digital ships being roughly the same as a used car.

Don't forget Todd Howard. He’s the ultimate example of a Tesla salesman who has a self driving car drive itself into a ditch and then he says “it just works.“

Can't forgive them for the cash cow they turned Risk of Rain into. Such a perfect game that I sunk hundreds of hours into to get me through the pandemic. They buy the series, release a quarter-baked DLC that simultaneously makes changes to the base game for everyone, spends a year fixing it, then announces another DLC as soon as they fix the problems they created with the 1st one. All while ramping up their merch lineup like the over $100 TTRPG version.

I'm big on the entire Borderlands franchise, played 1+2+3+TPS and even both Telltale story games. I'm still going to wait at least until it drops below $40 at the very earliest. I get the notion that we will start seeing sales on BL4 relatively soon.

I loved BL 1 and 2. Still haven't played prequel, tina, or 3; might finally buy one of those next big sale.

Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn't familiar... Gearbox's Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game's AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing...

That one letter typo is still there after 13 years.

Half-life opposing forces was good atleast

Hey, I'm interested. Do you have frame gen on and dlss and still getting 40fps?

They noted the perforemance issues in their review

The review score is for you, the review lives beneath it, for the people who can read

you think people even read it?

I bought borderlands 1 primarily for the co-op mode. It never worked, at least on PC, even though it was heavily advertised as having it. I never bought another Boarderlands

EY-YO IT-SA TONY TINA OVER HERE COM'MON! WHERESA MY PASTA, LUIGI?!

The Tina dlc which has a standalone game is great. Even though it doesn't make sense as a standalone since it's a significant and well executed end to the BL2 story.

Wonderlands is pretty iffy though

As I understand it, BL3 didn’t use the same writers as BL2. The DLC for BL3 did, though, which is why it’s of a very high quality. BL1-2 are some of my favourite games and as someone who doesn’t replay/reread/rewatch I’ve replayed those games a lot, but Pitchford was a huge douche about BL4 and its pricing so I decided hey, I’ll solve that problem by just not buying it.

Enough ppl dont complain about how they artificially extend the time by having you wait for ppl talk, thought it was a limitation in older games, especially bad in sanctuary, like let me just play the game, talk while I do stuff, don't make me stand around pausing the game if I open my menu extending it futher.
