What was your honest opinion of this game, /v/?
Anything is allowed, as long as you can write more than an "it's shit"
Shoot the Glowy Part: The Game
>>323400770
Enjoyed it.
It's monotonous shit.
Fun at first...until you realize all the enemies are bullet sponges in later levels and even with the best gear they take fucking forever to down and can 1-2 shot you. Also is grindy as hell.
Aside from the forced humor, it's ok.
It's fucking boring. The ENTIRE GAME is go to an arena and kill enough guys until the quest is complete.
Good Game. Funny dialogue"inb4 rebblits" clean art style, cool guns. Nice story. Great Villain.
>>323400770
Get out newfag. This shits been talked to death since launch, if you don't know the ins and outs of /v/'s opinion for this game by now then you're a shit.
>>323400770
fun but shallow shooter. Repititive and has shitty attempt at 'humor'
>>323400770
It's a lot of fun, especially co-op.
Good, not great.
>>323402186
Fuck off gayboy
>>323400770
I had fun co-oping it with my roommate. It's not as fun solo though which is why I don't think it's great as it could be. And yeah sometimes the writing's a bit much but I think people on /v/ take it way out of proportion
>>323405034
Tiny Tina, /v/ isn't exaggerating shit.
It was fun and it had traces of good polished character writing in it but most of it was ruined with
A - Shitty in your face memes
B - The attempt to CREATE shitty in your face memes
C - Difficulty being entirely reliant on the health of the enemy.
Graphically it was very pleasing and the guns were fun. I like Diablo style loot systems and I liked the visual style of the Borderlands series.
I think it would be a much better series if another company were in charge.
>>323400770
"It's absolute shit"
That's more.
Hold m1 the game: the experience.
Not even fun with friends.
>>323400770
Bulletsponge: The Game
It was worse than the first borderlands. And I didn't think I liked the first borderlands that much until I started playing the second one.
>>323400770
Writing is 1/10 but gameplay is 9/10 with bro-op, which is what Borderlands excels at
It's fun with friends, but a lot of games are.
>>323400770
if you guys didn't play this game from the very beginning then your arguments don't mean shit
>>323405580
I just got hacked legendaries.
>>323405514
>shit guns in BL1
>accurate
lmao
>>323400770
Too similar to Borderlands 1 and too much filler content to be fun. I played the fuck out of Borderlands 1, but I burned out on 2 by level 25.
>>323405885
All these guns and not a single one is good.
I feel like if they had slightly more believable gun designs like practical looking irons...magazines that aren't wheels etc it would go a long way in making the guns look "cooler", there's nothing wrong with having outlandish weapons designs but at least have them make sense...you can't hold ammunition inside a fucking bicycle wheel or aim with a weapon that only has a front sight post. That and forcing each manufacturer to have a mandatory gimmick really hurt the enjoyability for me, Hyperion sniper rifles being the most egregious offenders.
>>323405439
Even the shittiest most broken games are fun with friends, it shouldn't be a valid point of praise for any game.
Anything in the world could be fun with friends. Dying is fun with friends. Eating literal shit is fun with friends. That's the point of friends.
>>323406558

Those magazines were THE fucking best. Why are you so boring, Anon? Why do you want everything to be boring?

>tfw the game is literally ez modo when you get the chance for explosions with every bullet, which get quadrupled on frozen targets
>>323406742
The Maliwan SMG's actually aren't the gun I had in mind, seeing as how they shoot little energy balls it's quite possible that they're fed from some kind of cylindrical power source.
THIS is what I'm talking about.
Okay let's say you need to damage an enemy.
Slagging them makes your other weapons do more damage.
So what do you look for in a slag weapon?
A high slag chance.
You don't need any other stat than that because you are just going to switch out of your slag weapon and into your primary damage weapon.
Once you find a high slag chance weapon every other slag weapon in the game is inferior.
1/4th of all elemental weapons in the game can spawn with a slag element. Therefore, 1/4th of all elemental weapons are completely useless.
>>323406989
Maliwan SMGs shoot bullets, it's just that bullets in Borderlands aren't hitscan (which is pretty cool) and have unrealistically low travel speeds. Also all Maliwan SMGs are elemental and elemental bullets have element-colored tracers.
And Jakobs' wheels... I dunno, they look distinct and striking. I do wish high-level Jacobs guns looked less gaudy, though. Less gold, more high quality wood and polished metal, maybe with some engravings too.
>>323400770
Even though the game is all about tons of different types of guns, there werent really all that many unique variants of guns, and it upset me. Fuck they even got rid of the two most fun gun types from 1, the shotgun revolver and long range shotguns with like 75 accuracy.
The skill system also kind of sucks. Too many boring %increases to certain shit and not enough unique bonuses from skills.
Let's also not forget that in Borderlands 2, the body part of a weapon determines the manufacturer.
In Borderlands 1, the body was just like any randomized gun part such as barrel, scope, stock, etc. The manufacturer determinant was a separate randomized modifier put on every gun.
My point is that this added an extra weapon part for even more possible weapon combinations.
>>323407206
Bullets or not, they look semi-convincing which is all I really ask.
And on closer inspection that Jakobs looks like it has another horizontal wheel magazine, it's like they just randomly slapped shit onto it without any regard for form or function, it detracts from the overall design IMO.

>>323401180

>>323407848
>SMG icon is an MP5k
>>323400770
The new gun system was shit
Too many bullet sponges
No way to make your own/improve your fav weapon is retarded
The entire game was easy as fuck
The writting was some of the worst in any vidya to ever come out
>>323407848
>removed from BL1
wat? as opposed to what? BL0?
>>323407939
yeah they were primarily bullpups in the first game.
>>323407649
Except that actually decreases the choice since all parts are now tied to weapon manufacturers and not purely RNG
The new system was shit. BL1 was infinitely better
>>323400770
Story was okay.
Classes were okay.
Gameplay was okay.
Gun variety was shit. Especially melee options.
The grind was even worse than BL1.
Humor was mostly shit.
Weapon balance was garbage.
New Game+ is some of the most retarded shit I've seen in a game.
>>323400770
Top 5 of last 5 years and best shooter of said period.
>>323400770
As someone who always enjoyed dungeon crawling and min/maxing......it was the game that got me to appreciate first person shooters. Had some really memorable characters too.
Mechromancer was fun as hell.
>>323407902
OP8 and enemies take fucking forever to kill, the only way to kill things within a reasonable amount of time is with a Bee equipped and Double Penetrating Harold.
>>323408087
BL1 system could be replicated by just randomizing all weapon effects and giving guns random paintjob. Because in the end that's what manufacturers are, paintjobs.
>>323408001
>No way to make your own/improve your fav weapon is retarded
They released a third party hack for that.....I optimized every legendary I got to fit my build.
>>323407775
Turning an entire class of guns into 1 legendary is not a good idea, and hyperion shotguns arent the same. I dont want to shoot a bunch just to get accurate, then only have a couple accurate shots.
I had like this break action double barrel with a quick reload and high accuracy in the first game and it was the most fun gun ive used in the games.
even if the skills were better than 1 they were still shit and for the most part rather uninteresting
>>323408173
>Not playing Gaige and Norfleeting the world
>>323408173
This......the Herald was fucking retarded.....rocket launcher levels of damage in a pistol with an exceptional firing rate. If you weren't trying to snipe something it was the end all be all weapon.
>>323408386
So, unless we play 1 specific class/build you're shit at the game? Sounds like the game is shit if you're pigeonholed into doing that.
>>323408087
reread my post again.
>>323408184
manufacturers had different stat modifiers and even different sub-types for each weapon type.
what i mean is that Hyperion and S&S both make assault rifles but the Hyperion has the Combat Rifle sub-type and the S&S has the Machine Gun sub-type.
>>323400770
Boring without friends.
Funny moments and memories with friends.
It's a multiplayer game intended to be played as multiplayer
>>323408457
There's tons of builds that dump on enemies in OP8 fag.
Gaige just does it best
>>323408142
>best shooter of said period
That's Serous Sam 3.
>>323408373
Hyperion shotguns are stupidly accurate after like the second shot and they spawn with good mags. Even better if you play Gunzerker and take skills that give you free shots and refill magazine. I had a 8-shot acid Hyperion shotgun and I could get like 20 shots out of it while gunzerking.
I do miss Mashers though, probably the only thing I do miss from 1. They were too good for this world.
>>323408448
Even rocket launchers didn't do that much damage up close, not that I minded because the other weapons were so completely shit in comparison that if we didn't have the Harold the game's flaws would be compounded that much more.
It started fairly well, a nice comfy snow zone. Then you start leveling and noticing enemies are becoming bullet sponges. The scaling is tremendously bad. Then you start fighting the robots over and over and over.
>>323407206
>unrealistically low travel speeds.
holy shit, some player projectiles move at walking speed. meanwhile, bullet sponge enemies jitter around the screen, disregarding every law of physics. it's the shittiest artificial difficulty. borderlands is a shit game/skinnerbox
>>323408798

>>323409128
UPVOTE XDDDD
I really hate how they gutted elemental damage in the 2nd game too, elemental damage just became a rock-papers-scissors choice depending on what enemy type you happened to be facing instead of being a cool damage modifier AND a tactical choice based on enemy type.
>>323409081
i miss Torgue SMGs

You must be 18 years of age to post on 4chan.
(spoiler)Hey kiddo, your reading this in my voice(spoiler)
was it just me or did it feel like both borderlands had a hate boner against assault rifles? finding one worth a damn was like trying to find a non-diamond encrusted unicorn.
>>323409530
not all assault rifles in borderlands 1 were bad. did you play as Roland?
>>323409431
>(spoiler)(spoiler)
I don't know if this is part of the ruse.
>>323409530
1 had some okay ones if you were Roland, particularly machineguns. But overall ARs kind of suck in BL. It's weird, it's like a reverse generic shootan - shotguns and revolvers rule, ARs suck.
>>323409603
didn't say all of them were, just like 99% of them, and yes i did play as roland in BL1 and axton in 2.
finding a decent AR was much much harder than finding a decent SMG or shotgun.
>>323409530
This TbH.
Dahl sucked ass and had no damage and torgue ones had 6 shots in a mag and could miss if you didn't have vel0city maxed.
SMGs out did them in every fucking way
The only one I found suitable to use wasn't even made for shooting bullets, it was the 200% stab damage for holding it while you melee
>>323409748
only a select handful of gimmick manufacturer weapons were useful. the rest were all shit.
>>323408386
The fuck is Norfleeting
>>323411392
I'd assume he's talking about the legendary launcher, Norfleet.
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/NorfleetGaige players are total shitters, but that's just my god-tier hot opinion.
Marcus's mercenary shop was the fucking tits, with all that bonus loot and pic related
>>323400770
Enemies are way too bullet spongey. I found playing as anyone but zer0 to be boring. Although i havent played as everyone. Humor was hit and miss, which was very bad when half of the quests are centered around something "humorous".
The lack of the ability to max out two skill trees is shitty.
>>323411759
I see..
But why do you mention Gaige in particular? Does she make the weapon even more broken with a skill or something?
I only beat the game on vanilla days and just got the goty ver in the last sale, starting a new game as her
>>323409423
So leave
I don't know why they kept pushing for clapshit to be a meme. He is not funny at all. He almost ruined the game for me.

You could probably look at her skill tree and tell, who knows?

Where the real money from the movie is made.
Post an in-game character with more forced humor than this cringe worthy bitch.
>>323412459
I actually cannot.
Claptrap was kinda sad funny, and actually a bit real funny on your way to go kill jack near the end of the main story, but that bitch won't be missed, and her DLC didn't redeem her at all.
Just one example is that when you meet her, she's got a bandit/psycho tied up somehow and then she just blows him up. It's never explained how she got him thereeven though when you get the quest to make sure her tea party goes uninterrupted, the "guest" is tazed at the entrance to the cave, which is never explained how it got there, and I doubt it could stop more than one person at a time which psychos dont travel alone
Seriously, fuck her.
>>323412935
I only found it ironically funny that they tried to have her talk ghetto without uttering the words "nigga" or "bitch". It was like watching an awkward white guy trying to fit in with his black co-workers.

What are your thoughts on Pre-Sequel?
Started it fairly recently as Jack's double.
>>323414189
it's definently the worst out of them, but i still enjoyed it
being australian, the constant australian accents stopped being funny as soon as I started playing
2 was only held back by stupid scaling and too many shoe horned jokes.
But it had the best vault hunters and best DLC stories.
>>323414710
I missed being Brick and punching everyone and everything to death. Should be mods to make him playable in the other games.
Is Unf0reseen even worth the skill points?
I'm level 57, and just tried it with a class mod that gave it a total of skill level 8, and it did a whopping 50k damage to a snowman.
Granted, a RESIST popped up, but I'm still thinking those 5 points could be spent better otherwise.
Both games should have had waypoints closer to bosses, the game's grindy enough without forcing you to run the gauntlet every time you want to farm a different boss, that on top of what is an already very grindy series really killed the enjoyment of farming for me.
I enjoyed it, easily my favourite Borderlands. Had a lot of fun co-op'ing it.
More weapons
Better characters
Better story
Towns don't seem as static as the first
And fuck you, i liked the dialogue. It was funny, witty, uplifting and made a lot of the game.
>>323405580
>finish the game twice to get max level
>use gibbed to edit some legendaries into my save
>this was like 3 years ago
What's the point of this?
It was ok. Cutting out atlas and s&s was a shithouse decision though.
Fucking loved it, raged at times, but loved it. The fact that every weapon there is randomized (over 80 billion possibilities I think) and the fact that there are shitloads of ways you can kill your opponent is just amazing. Also, the fact that the game is set in a negative atmosphere, the NPCs and characters still are filled with humour. Although I wish there were even more characters to play with.
Decided to marathon the series and going from BL1 to this was jarring, it just wasn't as fun as I remember. might drop the series for a while
BL2 guns just aren't as memorable, and I'm still not happy about Eridian weapons being taken out.
>Thunderstorm, Pestilent Defiler and the Combustion Hellfire were the shit
Critical ascension would be a much, much. MUCH better final-tier skill if it weren't only applicable on sniper rifles.
>>323415439
>combustion hellfire
As a brother to a Lilith player, I resent this gun.
It does so much damage that I, a Roland player, could never get any of my passives to activate because I could never get kills. But I also have heard Roland was the worst, so that could have affected it.
>>323415626
The gun was ridiculously OP and so was Lilith, so you've gotten super-unlucky.
Pretty fun Co-Op, but it devolves into a study of artificial difficulty come TVHM and beyond. Also while I don't mind "agenda pushing" or being presented with ideas that challenge how I think or with which I outright disagree with, Burch's SJW pandering is downright cringeworthy. At no point does he present an idea in a way that is in any way subtle or thought compelling. It's literally all "you're supposed to think this way, by the way this dialogue has zero context to what's going on and came out of nowhere."
>>323400770
It was okay like ONCE.
But they honestly expect you to go through 3/4 NG+'s where the items scale to such a point of ridiculousness it's not funny.
>>323400770
Fun for a single playthrough, after that it just feels tedious. The new game plus modes are ass and not worth doing.
I wish I had played all the DLC in my first playthrough, since now I have no desire to do them.
who thought it was a good idea to get rid of the masher accessory? unforgiven masher was fucking dope.
Regenerating enemies are always bad no matter the game.
I don't like cel shading in any form.
"Random" internet humor that was outdated upon launch.
Tedious as fuck collecting comparing selling.
But you are free to enjoy it, I am merely telling you why I did not.
I never could do a NG+ in any borderlands game because shit is just so tedious and repetitious.
Which is weird because I can replay Resident evil 4 and Ratchet and Clank games multiple times.
Borderlands could really benefit from a modding community, but we know Gearbox will never owe up to the idea that the fans could make their games actually good.
>>323415880
>Regenerating enemies are always bad no matter the game.
That's just not true. The fact that both you and Elites had exactly same shields was one of my favorite parts of Halo: CE.

>>323409530
The only assault rifles I liked were the E-tech ones and the two legendary spin up ones (shreddifier and ogre).....the hammer buster was also ok but Maggie did its' job so much better.
I actually liked the cell shading.
It lets me run it pretty smooth on my super old potato laptop, and that's nice.
>>323412110
Anarchy plus her natural affinity for shock damage (which iirc it did) made it one shot everything it already didn't one shot. It's pretty retarded on any character though, not just her.
Good luck getting the damn thing solo....it drops off a fucking ridiculous boss and afaik I never saw it drop off of loot midgets or the warrior (which I were told can drop anything).

I think TPS is better than 2, but not by much.
>>323417992
Torgue's dialogue made the Assault on Dragon Keep for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib0hJw1zTwM
I've played all of them plus Tales, and I have a love/hate relationship with the series.
My biggest gripes with BL2/TPS are:
-weapons drops are mostly terrible. Manufacturer traits make some weapons useless.
-unskippable dialogue that halts your progression. It may be amusing the FIRST time, but for a game that's expected to the played multiple times it gets tedious really fast.
-TVHM and UVHM aren't fun, they're just bullet sponge hells.
If you fixed those issues I think the games would be great
>>323418894
Also the humor is really hit or miss. Most of it is cringeworthy SJW shit - I remember one part in Assault on Dragon's Keep where one guy said "Go away, I'm trying to objectify Moxxi, I mean come on.
Then there are some really amusing ones like the claptraps in TPS
The NG+ modes made the game garbage, and for a game that advertises its ability to be replayed in that sort of fashion, it's a dealbreaker.
main story is a 6.5/10.
>>323400770
Played as Zer0 first: It's okay, but stopped playing in the middle of it.
Later, I decided to start a new game as Salvador: Fucking Action-Packed FPS-RPG.
