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$

ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI 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.

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.

Their How Long to Beat times are all a tight spread. Having just played through them all in the past year, I can tell you that the only thing that makes 2 longer than the rest is that it has more DLC.

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.

I abused fast travel, all I remember from bl3 are the long boring unskippable non cutscene cutscenes. It always felt like there were there to artificially extend the time, id rather it just be a cutscene, over my gameplay while listening becoming just walking in circles waiting to actually play the game.

I can’t say that was my experience when I played it last year, and you can see my recorded play times for the series below in this thread.

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.
