Borderlands 2 is such a good game that one of its DLCs (Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep) is also one of the best games ever made, in its own right.

Man. 2010-2015 were some STRONG years in gaming. Portal 2 and its DLCs, Borderlands 2 and its DLCs, Skyrim, Shadow of Mordor, Hearthstone, The Last Of Us, Pokemon X & Y...

Edit: this comment appears to have lost its parent, so now it just seems like a non sequitur, but you folks are smart.

BL2 still works on Linux, too. I can't play BL3, which I hear is the better game (albeit with worse plot).

I tried the Epic Version of BL3 (when they gave it away) via Heroic Launcher and that works flawlessly. However I did not yet try online coop.

Hmm, maybe next time I'm buying games, I'll pick up BL3 hoping it works on my Debian system through Proton or something.

Thanks for the info.

I think it might have better QOL features, but honestly the gameplay loop in BL2 is better. And I think the engine might be more robust, too.

Portal 2 has DLCs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah it does but they are more similar to free content updates so they don't have a steam page.

A couple! "Peer Review" and "Perpetual Testing Initiative." Both free.
