Comment on Borderlands 4 for Nintendo Switch 2 likely axed, as Take-Two says it’s ‘paused’ development | VGC
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoI never even finished 3 because got seriously bored with it, and never had a whole lot of interest in 4, especially hearing how badly optimized it was. It just didn’t look like anything worth the money to me, that’s all. Then I literally forgot it has been out for a while because I was so disinterested.
A former friend of mine voice acted in Borderlands 3. The moment I heard their voice I shut the game off and sold the disc back to the store, a long time ago.
In a way, they spared me a lot of boredom. I like to think I put those abruptly-refunded hours into Clair Obscur.
No, Tanis, you put them into a ton of failed Megabonk runs that you got slightly ticked off at, so the net effect emotionally was basically the same.
Megabonk is love, Megabonk is life.
Today on Horde Kitchen I’m gonna teach you how to make hot moldy cheese while being attacked on all sides relentlessly. Now, you’re gonna need to find a microwave, and once you do, slap that rotten cheese on in there and set it to high. Don’t mind the smell, it’s killing the audience around you as fast as it’s choking you out. Now when your cheese is cooked, cook it again. You can make cheese out of anything: sunglasses, keys, bracelets, if it’s food or spelled with the same alphabet food is spelled with, you can make cheese out of it. Oops, I just got touched by a random goblin who fell off the cliff I was standing next to. Until next time, on Horde Kitchen!

I really enjoyed both of them. It may just not be your cup of tea, but I get the sense that the average person just plays them sort of mindlessly. For 3 and 4 especially, I found there’s a really interesting layer in there when you start min/maxing around creating a feedback loop. In case you ever found yourself curious enough to give them another try. It makes them very memorable experiences.

I have played the original Borderlands more times than I can reasonably recall, and Borderlands 2 three or four times, but gosh I tried so hard to like BL3 and it just never landed with and felt tedious by that point.

3 was extra short, didnt feel like replaying it, just played it last year, didn’t feel like buying 4 and I can afford it + have free time. It just doesn’t look appealing, will def buy when it inevitably goes on sale for like 10-20$

Short? It was a similar length to the rest of the series.

No it was absolutely not. 3 was barely half the size 2 was.

From what I recall of the only time I played it, it has a lot of going back and forth and large empty spaces which artificially extends the duration of the main story.
