Hopefully 4 won’t be an epic exclusive at launch.
Really not looking forward to it, even though I’ve played every other game including Tiny Tina’s. They really dropped the ball with the Wonderlands DLC, they undid any and all trust I had in their post-release expansions, so they are really going to have to be announcing some ground-breaking new features if they want me to pay on release. Otherwise, I guess I’ll be playing it in 2028 when it’s discounted, if the state of the world allows it.
I can look past not having iconic villains, as much DLC, or having new releases that are just minor upgrades, but the drop in the expectations for post-release quality, I guess that’s where I draw the line, no pre-orders from me.
I played Borderlands 2 for quite a while, 1200 hours +, 100% on Steam. Some of the best gaming moments in my life fighting Vermivorous the Invincible with 3 friends. What came after in the franchise was just disappointing to me.
I don’t understand why everyone likes 2 so much. Borderlands 1 had the real dystopian Mad Max vibes. And there was Claptrap for some comic relief.
Borderlands 2 started making a comical relief character out of everything. Bandits were clowns. All the bosses were clowns. All major NPC’s were clowns… The entire “dystopia” went out of the window and Borderlands 2 turned Mad Max into a slapstick comedy.
Just the intros of the two games show the massive difference. There is no “survive the wasteland” anymore.
IMO:
1 had the best vibes and the best gear scaling
2 had the best villain and boss fights
3 had the most fun character abilities.A huge part of the problem is it becoming a classic heros vs villains story. It was way better when we were just mercenaries in it for ourselves.
Which abilities did you like? I found some nice but many were a bit overpowered. But maybe that’s because I selected
BrickSalvadore in Borderlands2. The dual wield button practically destroyed everything. They also had so much power that the unique guns (which was the original selling point for Borderlands) felt less impactful.But maybe that’s because I selected Brick in Borderlands2. The dual wield button practically destroyed everything
Brick wasn’t playable in BL2, but I’m assuming you mean Salvadore
You are correct. I confused the berserker class with the berserker.
