Nobody cares about this franchise anymore.
>>735090956>bought 4>realize I'm terrible at the game>remember I have no friends to play with>have no mic so nobody random will play with meGuess I'll just forget about it.
>>735090956borderlands 3 was a mistakeborderlands 4 soft reboot was a mistakethey should have given development to me, eh a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything
>>735090956they keep killing the best characters>TK Baha dead>Scooter dead>shooty mcshootface deadalso Penn and Teller should've been the main villains for BL3and there should've been a desert bus missionborderlands 1 will always be the best in my eyes, it still maintained a crumb of sincerity before which was lacking in the next two gamesor at least it was delivered differentlyBL1 was funny with a layer of bleakness covering it, like I'd chuckle at TK Baha but then pity him when walking away while he's just muttering to himselfBL2 had moments of that could've been sad but then Jack or some other goober would just have to pipe up with some meta/ironic observation or quip that just takes me out of it - I still enjoyed it for the most part though.
>>735092891BL2 and onwards are the epitome of the whole reddit/lacking sincerity thing that plagued the 2010sPost irony or whatever
>>735092891Handsome Jack gets a pass because he's actually funny, and he's written consistently and well enough he isn't grating. Trying to half-heartedly copy it but apply it to other half-assed characters is where you get the retard twins. Stuff like tiny tina was never funny tbqh
>>735092891>>735093092The future installments also have an obsession with explaining the joke/self-referential shit.BL1 arguably had the same style of humor, but jokes were allowed to stand on their own.In BL2 onwards it feels like every other line of dialogue is "THE JOKE IS [X] BY THE WAY, GET IT? I MADE A JOKE JUST NOW IN CASE YOU WEREN'T AWARE. HERE LET ME EXPLAIN THE JOKE I JUST MADE 3 MORE TIMES TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT IT"
>>735093426Imagine how much money is spent on the voice acting with how much they talk
>>735090956crazy how she was just 1/4 males and not even the focus of the games, yet at the end of 3 there's like 4 bitches and the final boss is a dumb slut. they need to figure out their demographic and pander to men again
>>735092891desu never understood their inability to move past HJ, the guy was alright but I cannot fathom how they can't write villains past him anymore. they legit don't know where to go with the series
>>735090956>BL1 characters were all treated with respect and each had their important roles in BL2>BL2 characters get absolutely sidelined for more Lilith and more than half of them got banished to DLC landthis is her worst crime
>>7350924524 I think had more buzz than I expected so not quite true, they just managed to piss that away with every headline being about how it was buggy and barely playable lmao
>>735090956huh?who was it before?
>>735092891>>shooty mcshootface deaduhironically isn't he the best character because he's dead? or he's dead because he's the best character? or some really complicated chicken egg paradox thing going on with him?
>>735094570it didn't help that it wasn't very good either
>>735094607Claptrap
>>735094570I couldn't even remember if this game had come out yet or not. The most cultural relevance the series has had in the last 10 or so years is people expressing bewilderment at the film's casting choices.
>>735094607Handsome Jack
>>735093494AI voice acting has fixed this problem significantly.
>>735095292...in BL1?
>people care about the story of Borderlands
>>735094695yeah I included him ironicallyWe're in a borderlands thread after all :°)
>>735090956>blacked whore who started everything by being a bitch and attacking jack
I got a mod that skips dialogue with a button press. Holee fug its night and day difference
>>735096975I just play with the dialog files all deletedmade BL3 playable
>>735096112I think it's got a cool premise - and was definitely carried by the style (which they ripped off shamelessly I must admit)Unfortunately I liked BL1 a lot so my hopes were high for the second oneTannis's Logs were some of my favourite bits in 1 - talking about how she was desensitized to all her co-workers dying and actually a bit glad one was dead as she was able to steal her desk chair she'd been jealous of
>>735094607No one really, but if anyone had a claim it would probably be Tannis. You spend a good portion of the game tracking her audio logs, giving her the most backstory out of every NPC in that game and she's vaguely connected to the plot of finding the Vault because of her studies
>>735094863Don't you dare
>>735094607>1difficult to call anyone the main character really. claptrap or tannis maybe?>2Handsome Jack and the 4 Vault Hunters from 1 >3talk to Lilith
>>735097781Weird pick. Claptrap is pretty much the face of the series, and if I had to pick someone after him it would probably be Marcus as the narrator. Tannis is recurring, but that's about it.
>>735098023>Marcus as the narratorThat's just the intro and the outro, Angel is more of a narrator than him. Claptrap can go fuck himself, but I suppose you're somewhat right, he could be considered the main character, a good warning sign that this series will never be good in hindsight
Is the meta/ironic reddit “humor” as bad in 4 has it is in all the other games after the original?I remember pre-release they were acting like they were bringing back the tone of 1 but I didn’t believe them.
