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

Cycling through the inventory can also be a pain

both games which, in my opinion, give me a greater sense of progress from the grind

At least with Destiny, the UI and Weapon Storing via the vault feels incredibly smooth but can sometimes be slow

Fallout has it's unique gameplay loop of build settlement -> go adventure -> loot -> return to settlement to build it further

And you get a real sense that you've done something worthwhile when you come home after your 10th outing and your settlement is protected by rocket launchers and gatling lasers

You actually get the sense that your work has gone toward something cumulative

with borderlands you just feel like you're constantly iterating to keep up with the big numbers

Will see and reflect upon our talk

And try to decide for myself whether I should continue or not

I’m actually really enjoying the game by far because of how nostalgic it is and how much it reminded me of Destiny

hey if you're having fun, you're having fun

I have 17 hrs clocked in

I just have my beefs with it

Also forgot about one or two more things

The vehicle system

Literally screw it

Lol

You literally have to go to a spawner which makes it very jnconvenient at times

Especially if you have to cross from one side of the area to the other

It’s not on the fly like Destiny was and is currently

doesn't help that the vehicles control like ass

The driving controls are pretty shit

Overall, 6-7/10
