Borderlands 2 is a lot of fun
But it’s grindy as fuck
Gun play literally feels like CoD and the loot and shoot mechanic is like Destiny but way better
I’ll just be nice and not go off about how much I hate borderlands
Go ahead
What’s that thing specifically you hate about Borderlands?
The thing I hate most?
The writing
Yeah, lul. It’s pretty shit tbh
Going through an otherwise average loot and shoot for “LOL EPIC RANDOM LITTLE GIRL SAYS THE FUCK WORD!”
lol no thanks
The ludicrous (sometimes) grind is the thing I dislike the most so far
I’m here trying to defeat a boss that like requires 3 weapon types to take down and the reward weapon I get has only like 30pts more of damage like BRUHH
>3 weapon types
and there's my gripe with every borderlands after 1
they doubled down on the "make the brands unique!" thing super hard
so to do any of the end game shit you have top optimize your gear by brand
At least Destiny(The first release), for how unfair and unforgiving the loot system was, the game will actually give you high tier/exotic items
And the end game content dropped ridiculously good/must have weapons/armory
Although some of the loot I get can be pretty good with BL, it feels pretty temporary and not really a “must have” type of thing tbh @kawaii
yep
here, I figured out how to sum up why I hate borderlands other than the writing in just one sentence
Especially with how fast the Leveling scales(weapon, damage and armor) for content
It's not even a *good* skinner box
Cannot even upgrade weapons either
It’s either keep or goodbye
The game is a carefully designed dopamine drip
Much like any loot and shoot
Yes
There’s a reason why Destiny 1 stuck out even during the hardest and driest of times
but like I said, it isn't even good at it
You will always come back for loot
And that is the only reason
Lol
Diablo 2 is a *good* skinner box
Borderlands and Torchlight are bad skinner boxes
Gunplay is very fun for me though
But the weapon system is pretty clunky I’ll admit
For me, Borderlands gunplay is no better than Fallout 4 or Cyberpunk
4 weapons at once feels something more akin to TF2
