dont understand for bl3 here. didnt see the movie but enjoyed the game in couch coop a lot.
Randy will just him a signed copy of the movie
I'm surprised anyone would be interested in borderlands 4 after 3 happened
Plot, characters, and writing aside, Borderlands 3 was a very well made and fun game on a technical level. I’m definitely interested in Borderlands 4, as long as we can continue to skip cutscenes lmao.
fair enough. I was dying from the cringe which took away from the enjoyment of the game mechanics for me. Really it was 90% Ava's fault. Comparatively it almost makes that section of ps4 God of War where atreus had his rebelious phase enjoyable.
Can you tell me what you liked about it? I'm not a fan in general (looter shooters like that just aren't my thing), but all my friends are, and none of them have ever had a positive thing to say about 3, with opinions ranging from meh at best to absolutely awful. Hell, even the guy in our group who unironically loves bad games even had nothing good to say
I actually really enjoyed the Eldritch horror storyline. Though overall it's a somewhat forgettable story. Still better than Pre-Sequel in my mind. But I'm the odd one out I know
As a Borderlands sequel, or just as a game? I’ve never actually heard anyone complain about the gameplay. It’s the same gameplay the series is known for but even more refined, with tons of QoL improvements. It is quite literally the best in its class with no real equal.
The only thing I can imagine about your friends is that they didn’t get through much of the gameplay because they were turned off by the horrifically bad writing, cringelord villains, and a sense of humor firmly stuck 15 years in the past, which I would not blame them for.
They've actually all finished the story afaik. And all the things you listed were the main reasons they all didn't like the game.
Yeah people were spoiled by how good the characters and story were in Borderlands 2. They forgot how Borderlands 1 didn’t even really have a plot and for the most part doesn’t need one.
Yeah, gameplay wise, it was pretty solid. Main story was almost total blah. Season 1 dlc stories were a lot better imnsho.
The drop rate for legendaries were ridiculous, it rained legendaries everywhere, it felt un special. So, I guess, the loot rarity rates seemed a bit not-rare.
And then he dies from the awfulness of Borderlands 4 instead of cancer, I'm not sure what's better.
They did some great fan service before. In Borderlands 2, there is the NPC Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary who can randomly give out guns when talked to. That NPC is a tribute to the real Michael Mamaril, a fan that passed before Borderlands 2 was released
He and his friends should go on an elaborate cross country road trip to the 2K offices so they can try to steal an early copy of Borderlands 4.
If they flew him to Texas that'd be pretty cool actually. I was in a pre-alpha game testing group for the first Borderlands game back around 2010 and their offices were pretty cool.
I'm sure, with the success of Borderlands since then, they've moved to a bigger and better office, but if it's possible to get him there to play an early build that would be really cool.
Randy cures cancer instead of properly staffing a project.
