    1 and 2 were legitimately good games.

    Pre-Sequel was terrible, 3 was better but still not good.

    Can’t say I remember enough about the Tell Tale game to have an opinion which may also very well be an opinion. ;)

      1 wasn’t quite polished enough for me, but 2 was a lot of fun. The writing for the other two was horrendous, but I played through 3 for the gameplay loop; I would just turn off audio for a while when they talked too much. The Telltale game is fine for what it is, but their games are all exposition hallways.

      I’m not getting 4 until it’s $60 or less - if then.

      First Telltale game was very good and was one of my favorite Telltale games. Didn’t hear great things about three second one.

  Are they still harvesting personal data from players?

  The writing in Borderlands 3 is not great, but the gameplay was a huge step up over 2. It’s not a great idea to forget that Borderlands 3 happened, as it’s an excellent game.

    Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but I just checked, even though I clocked way more at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

      I honestly didn’t think it was any better or worse than the others. The writing wasn’t good in any of them, but the gameplay was good enough. Tiny Tina was the most irritating character in the whole series and she’s mainly in BL2, which is a fan favourite.

  can’t make me, sorry! i love borderlands 3. (sorry to interrupt the hateful circlejerk that seems to be in most comment sections for games forums these days.)

  Borderlands 3 is fun and I look forward to my next playthrough

    Personally, my only complaint is that legendary guns were too common in BL3. I often kept running with the same legendary for 15-20 levels becauae they were still better than the non-legendaries. Why have 18 bajillion guns when there’s 20 better ones you can get semi-often?

    Totally agree with you that the game is still incredibly fun, they’ve more or less mastered that part. It’s the story that got me and I’m not even one to really pay attention to the story in games.

    I do hope this next story will at least be bearable (and for the love of God, if they’re trying to make us forget BL3, then right out Ava for fucks sake. Better yet, have someone offhandedly mention she died on a random planet.)

  I wish Borderlands would have stayed on the vault hunting topic presented in 1. All I wanted an open world Pandora where we just hunt vaults.

  source
• RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  One of the vault hunters is from the Traunt family. Members of which were sprinkled quite liberally around the 3rd game.

  Not doing a very good job of making people forget.

  Not for $90… I’ll stick with my $40 Helldivers 2

    At least Borderlands won’t be deleted off the face of the earth someday.

      I wouldnt be so confident in that statement, what happens if they delist it from a store, what happens then?

  Fun fact they still haven’t fixed a bug where landing on the jakobs planet with the jungles kills some of the audio from the game on ps4/5

  not hard to do, I played it muted and with the captions off to spare myself from all that quirked up millennial dialogue.

  pretty good like that, honestly

  I’m apparently the only person who really enjoyed 3 all the way through.
