Now that the dust has settled, is the humour really that bad?
Its a time capsule at this point but considering what came after I don't think so
Yes, the humor really is that bad.
>>732775476is the humor in the room with us?
does the pope shit in the woods?
>>732775645>>732775676>>732775696Give one example
>>732775476it literally has the "um, that was awkward" humor everyone laughs at today
Anthony Burch's sheer existence is all the proof you need that this is bad.
>>732775476It was good enough
>>732776093I mean lots of Americans unironically look like this in real life so that's not egregious.
>>732776207She's actually thinner than most of them.
>>732775476Butt Stallion.
Humor is bad but the game was great. It's a shame the series fell off so hard.
>>732775476Thank god for the dialog skipper mod.

>>732775476Maybe.
>>732776285The gameplay is also dogshit. They somehow managed to fuck up basic concept of looting with drop rates so bad that outside of special chest with increased drop rates (all DLC btw) you literally have no reason to ever explore for loot because anything above green is so astronomically rare doing anything besides farming dedicated drops or mission rewards is a waste of time. Like a purple from a red chest is ~6%, a legendary from a dedicated sorce is ~10%, and a mission reward is guaranteed. It makes no goddamn sense.The mission reward shit is especially egregious because not only are they once per playthrough, but the dogshit weapon part system means that even a half decent blue could take hundreds of resets.
>>732775476It’s better than /v/‘s brand of humor
>>732775476I think it's a game you can absolutely hate if its writing doesn't catch you, but everything else up until the Lilith DLC was peak.everything to come after was objectively worse not just because the writing dipped when Newman left, but the level design, art style, and settings were at its absolute best with this game.
>>732778407Fuck off Borderlands 3 and 4 retard. 1 and 2 completlely mog your shitty fag games. Also people who bitch about drop rates are total fags, they made Borderlands 3 piss easy for retards like you.
>>732778407And on the flipside, we have Borderlands 3 which shits out legendaries so frequently, you stop giving a shit an hour in
>>732778908that was a thing they enabled because of Covid, did they never turn it off?
>>732778850I didnt play any Dlc content but I had fond memories of 2 and the pre-sequel. Space Australia was legitimately funny and I thought the air bubble mechanic was cool. Other than that tho I think the setting has really run its course and I kinda dont like loot based games anymore because the whole thing is like a carrot vs horse and spread sheet calculator. I like the gameplay of SM2 where you dont really have exploration to do and it feels like every map is more like a WoW dungeon. I like the idea of a game where the grind is predictable and the rewards are set while the only real goal is to have fun but also get rewarded for playing well and having good mechanics rather than grinding for a random chance to maybe get something you need. I also played Borderlands 3 and was bored to tears with the fucking game and regret buying it. It felt super cringe and retroactively made the entire series feel juvenile like what a 20 year old stoner would find funny.
>>732779387I played it for the first time last year and I got so many legendaries, I stopped looking at the stats because 90% of them were shit
>>732775476Why anybody likes borderlands is a mystery to me.>the writing/story was never good, and at best has people saying "well, but there was that one that wasn't THAT bad now, wasn't there?">gameplay-wise it's the most generic fps imaginable with braindead enemies that don't put up a fight at all>artstyle's entire identity is being disgusting putrid and ugly>pointless rpg and ability systems that serve mostly as a bar to fill up to keep you hooked on doing repetitive missions>pseudo-open world with sidequests (i.e. zero level design)>characters range from annoying to irritating>lifted the aesthetic of a dark and gritty genre just to sanitize it>"edgy" humor whose edgiest content amounts to "ha ha poopy farts big butt sex haha boobs lol lmao! Can you believe it i said the word dick ha ha lol"The only appeal i can possibly find is the monkey-brained "numbers go up" and looting.
>>732775476>humourgameplay is all that matters in these games and 2 has the worst one of them all
>>732779429Hammerlock's big game hunt was unbridled dogshit and made to fill the endgame hole in a horrible way post launch, Scarlets was a tad underwhelming because without super in depth knowledge most of the guns suck and the levels were very empty, torgues was a good balance but with very mediocre levels and quest and finally tina's was actually very good but with the most devisive writing if you hate bl2 writing you'll despise it
>>732778852>but 3 and 4 are shit too!Yes, everyone knows they're bad, but that doesn't excuse 2 from also being shit.>drop ratesIn 2 legendaries are also more common than purples and there being no reason to ever loot chests is a problem, retard. Especially since 1 already had a really good loot system in place that took several factors into consideration like how hard getting a chest is, the quality of the enemy, the difficulty of an area, and your level to insure that you'd didn't get flooded with legendaries but also got quality loot worth taking.>they made Borderlands 3 piss easy for retards like you.In 2 you can have a broken legendary or blue unique that trivializes the entire sections of the game at all times. If you have DLC you have access to easy EXP and can get an on level bee shield whenever you want. Moxxi weapon also exist and completely break the game too.>>732778908Legendaries being too common has been an issue since 2. It is literally easier to get god roll legendaries than it is to get god roll purples ffs.
>>732775476Yeah it's bad but not distracting enough since the game does have serious moments like Roland, Angel, Bloodwing, and Jack dying. BL3 is way too in your face with the streamer echo twin parody and bad jokes that I never finished it ,Jack hard carried the bad moments of BL2.
>>732780471>Legendaries being too common has been an issue since 2Is this a dlc thing? I played it on release and hardly got any legendaries
>>732780471>muh drop ratesYou could actually talk about things people give a fuck about when saying if the game is good or not. Borderlands 2 has got the best DLC (except that shitty safari swamp one). Best psycho dialogue, best campaign, most fun uniques, most fun classes, the list goes on...But also, you wouldn't last 2 seconds in Diablo 2 or PoE if you are bitching about drop rates. Ultra rare drop rates is what makes looter games actually sick. Because when you do get a ultra rare drop its actually fucking exciting.Im not saying borderlands 2 doesnt have its problems, it can be extremely jank and the balance gets absolutely fucked in new game+ but it still takes a massive dump over 3 and 4.
what a dogshit take, retard
>>732780174It was one of the few AAA games of the time that was at least trying to give a middle finger to the standard grimdark shit-filter'd CoD military shooters that were so trendy. Yeah it had terrible cringe writing but I enjoyed the sheer variety of weapon types and fun enemies. It felt more similar to kino like Ratchet and Clank.
>>732776093holy badokadonks
>>732775476Jack was fun. Outside of that though, yes. That said there is a turn dialog off setting and the game itself is fun enough that I don't care that much. Fuck HP gating though.
>>732778852Nigga, they all shit.
>>732781142Yes, yes (you) are.
>>732781864it was of its time. you just had to be there. of course zoomers wont like it or care to like it, its completely jank and cringe by todays standards
Gaige Sex (hard)
>>732781041Base game. Dedicated drops mean you always have easy access to a legendary and they are easier to get than most other loot tiers.>>732781063Drop rates do matter. Looting is one of the core gameplay elements of this genre and having drop rates work in such a way that the player is actually disincentivized from actually looking for loot by exploring and instead encouraged to only farm a handful of enemies and to save scum almost exclusively is a problem.>You could actually talk about things people give a fuck about when saying if the game is good or notPoor pacing and realiances on exposition dumps means that you go long streches without a reason to shoot your gun, too many parts where you spend time tethered to an NPC and if you go to fast they make you backtrack to them, they got rid of the world builing established in the first game for capeshit style shenanigans, the story is riddled with plot holes, the guns are constructed like lego bricks and have no weight to them, and if you liked the first game's characters seeing all the OG characters get shat on while all of Burch's OCs got wanked would be horrendous.>Ultra rare drop rates is what makes looter games actually sick. Because when you do get a ultra rare drop its actually fucking exciting.I know. Which what I've been saying, you illeterate jackass. Legendaries and most BiS gear is ridiculously easy to get compared to random purples. Very few pieces of gear in BL2 actually requires involved farming or routing that would make high rarity drops feel satisfying and it's mostly just save quiting after you one shot the random guy who arbitrarily has the loot you want.>but it still takes a massive dump over 3 and 4.Shit is shit no matter whose hole it comes from.
