Opinions on Borderlands 1?Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?Favorite character and gun type?
It's like working at a sweatshop factory in China: do X until the shift is over. Then start a new "quest" and it's all over again. "All right boys take em out!"
>>750817337My favorite in the series because it has minimal Siren bullshit and the humor is diegetic rather than ironically self-aware.
>>750817337Never played a Borderlands game in my life. I wanted to give 2 a go but people told me that playing alone sucks because the end game is designed for co-op, and everything before that is just a very long grindy tutorial.
>>750817337>Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?No I went out and got pussy
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?It's alright to play co-op.>Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?I haven't played that game in over a decade dude. >Favorite character and gun type?The negro just because you can make him a support class for yourself, which is overpowered as fuck.
>>750817337Roland, hellfire smg or vulcan sniper. No, still playing bl4 atm.
>>750818414>the end game is designed for co-opbl2 has no endgame you stupid idiotand in the remote case it does for some idiotic opinion, nothing is coop-only in the gameyou stupid FUCKING idiot
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?god damn 2 really showed in retrospect how boring the environments in 1 were, you don't need 10 rusty desert junkyard levels>Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?I happened to play it a couple of weeks before, so no>Favorite character and gun type?Roland, I want to use shotguns and launchers, but usually have to use rifles and pistols
>>750820447Borderlands 1 was a scrap from the mad Max project. Borderlands 2 just has clearer direction and more quality time to spend on the environment. With that said with how gay it's character became and all things considered, design started becoming a caricature of itself. I wish they have the same design vision and mentality as in borderlands 1 but with resources and time of borderlands 2.
>>750821498Borderlands is Mad Max with dick jokes. Borderlands 2 insists on itself.
I jerked off so much to bl1 Lilith. Sad how they ruined her
>>750817337Best in the series. The reddit humor became worse and more in your face with 2 onwards. Also I like the bleak wastelands.
>>750823798>bleak wastelands.I like whatever the genre of music is in that game
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?It's a game I enjoy even more with each passing year. >Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?That's actually the only DLC I didn't play.>Favorite character and gun type?Lilith and SMG's with the mind games skill tree.I want to propose follow up questions to anyone in the thread.Favorite game in the franchise?Favorite vault hunter?Favorite entry is probably Pre-Sequel because I like the oz kits compared to relics. Also the entire lineup of vault hunters. It's the only title where I did a run through of every character. Favorite VH is Zane. His kill skills turn him into roaming death. Immediate follow up is Doppleganger.
>>750824905I’ll be contrarian and say 3 is my favorite because the DLCs and post launch balance elevate it gameplay-wise. You can pick any VH aside from the jeet and have fun because they all have good builds.Maya is still my favorite because her action skill makes Slag less of a bitch to apply and I gooned to her a lot. Hottest girl in the franchise, Moxxi can go rim a skag.
>>750824905I like Fragmented Fragtrap. Being forced to juggle different guns instead of being pidgeonholed into 2 or 3 gun categories is really fun. I wish the game gave Fragtrap more weapon slots though.
>>750817337I played it back in June. As clunky as it is I still like, it but it's pretty clunky. I didn't like the zombie island.I liked Brick the most. Getting a good revolver that you can snipe headshots from the hip with was always hilarious. Killing Crimson Lance with corrosive or electric and listening to their screams was always the best part of the game.>>7508249052 is the best. Still one of my favorite games period, I can just keep playing. 3's gameplay was great but I couldn't keep going through that fucking story over and over and the DLC wasn't good enough either.Moze is my favorite vh though. Nothing beats piloting a fucking mech. Fl4k was hilarious for being able to contiuously fire the one-shot jakobs shotguns without reloading too. The pre-sequel was the worst for me, I can't believe people actually liked that game. Lasers and the junker-vending machine were fun but that wasn't enough to make up for the game wasting your time.
>>750817337I really enjoyed the first, like the tone of it was my favorite. I didn't enjoy 2, and hated 3 so much I couldn't finish more than an hour or two
>>750825194What did you like about the DLCs? The wedding one was good because it had actual new enemy types and you got to hang out with Gaige and Hammerlock again, and Wrainwright was a decent character, but the others were dull. I don't know how a dlc where you fight bandits on a desert wasteland got passed for a Borderlands game, and the casino had some neat visuals but ended up feeling generic especially since it was just harping on Jack again.
No but I should have. Autism aside borderlands 1 is the best game in this franchise if you actually like picking up loot. This is because every borderlands after it butchered the gun generation. In BL1 you can pick up a level 2 white weapon thats stronger than guns 10 levels above it making picking shit up, you know the looting part of the looter shooter fun. BL2 gimped this shit to the ground so by the time you get to UVHM the only shit thats viable is a handful of blue quest weapons, some legendaries, and some retardedly niche generic purples. Borderlands 1 isnt balanced either. The pendulum swings in the opposite direction where you are either god or just jobbing around unless you've played it enough to just know what to pick up. Out of every borderlands its kinda funny that presequel is the most balanced of this series for all the shit it gets but that games not even finished. 2 cut dlc, glitch weapons are irritating as fuck to farm, no OP levels, didnt even get seasonal content outside of heads. This series is a mess but unfortunately 1, 2 & presequel are comfort games for me so I have the tism. Thanks for reading my faggy blog post, its so bad ass. Pic related.
>>750824905>Favorite vault hunterIn terms of character gaige and zane. To play, loveless the new bl4 dlc vh is a blast.I loved bl2 but the slag mechanism and forced transition to uvhm make it a slog.
>>750825747I thought Krieg dlc was a pretty decent send off to the character after they fucking ruined Maya.
>>750825493the corrosive is very satisfying in bl1. very juicy and sizzling
>>750825747Nta but all the 3 dlcs were top, good ideas well done, with environments outside core BL - lovecraft, heist, jap/cowboy etc. Gaiges character in tentacles was great.
>>750824905>Favorite game in the franchise?Borderlands 1>Favorite vault hunter?Mordecai, Zer0, Wilhelm, Amara (havent played 4. I wasnt badass enough to be a premium gamer)
What was the deal with Wotann? I could never fight Raid Bosses in 2 without looking up cheese builds and farming for a week. I rolled up on Wotann (which was a great mission) while half drunk and wasted it in five minutes so easily I thought it glitched.>>750826015Yeah that one was really good.Fuck Ava. What a little shit goblin, who the fuck thought killing a main character for spunky sidekick was a good fucking idea? Writing her out of 4 was the best decision that game made.
>>750825772I'm gonna disagree with the first part in that 3 had so much loot you could replace you entire loadout in a mission twice. You could use less optimal more fun guns because your perks would compensate, the game shat out legendaries so you could goof off with the ones you liked and stash the ones you don't so you could sell them next playthrough and never have to worry about ammo or backpack size. I was picking up rubbish whites and greens just because I liked the duel modes more or they looked cool instead of caring about how they actually worked.
>>750826527I'm gonna respectfully disagree with you. While 3 is a fun game. Because it shits out loot, and because the perks are by and far stronger than every past entry it becomes unsatisfying to play quicker. Bl3 suffers from the same problems as diablo 3. Not that its a problem for most people, but for me personally I just don't find it interesting. Parts are more interesting because of sheer volume so you get cool looking stuff sometimes but the only longevity to BL3 is finding a cool looking gun with a perfect annointment on it and when you do get it theres nothing to use it on because its too easy
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?My favorite borderlands game, the others are too reddit.>Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?I dont like that dlc>Favorite character and gun type?Roland + assault rifles so i can hold m1 and brrrr.
>>750817337Still have not touched BL4, is it worth getting on a deep sale?
>>750824905>Favorite vault hunterPsycho Krieg with Silence the voices. Let's go gambling!
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?Absolutely loved the environment and atmosphere. A true Space Western and should have been expanded as such (that one BL3 DLC doesn't count). I loved the Nature vs Society theme and that nature was winning. Really enjoyed playing as outlaws who were more then willing to get their hands dirty for money or revenge. Hate how they became rahrah freedom fighters in the second game.>Did you replay zombie island for Halloween?I did nothing for Halloween.>Favorite character and gun type?As much as I enjoyed my Lilith and her infinite Phase Walk, Roland with his 500 clip SMS guns were pure fun.
>>750827497Yes, its improved massively since launch, and theres decent dlc and endgame now. The open world doesnt quite work, but they dialled back the reddit humour and it doesnt rain legendaries like bl3. The skill trees are good as well, lots of skill interactions to boost stats. Zane is still the best character as an npc. Vex and loveless are my girls.
Is Loveless a good sign for Gearbox? Bitch has half her ass hanging out with a fully modeled cheek, and her model has pasties with visible areola. Not that you can see it without an editor, but someone still took the time to do it.
>>750824905>Favorite game in the franchise?BL2 even though it was the beginning of its downfall. 1200+ hours in it. >Favorite vault hunter?Gaige had funny voice lines, too bad they did her dirty in 3. Maya has to be my favorite though (even Gearbox did her dirty as well) because she's the only one I was able to do a no death run with.
>>750827987>Is Loveless a good sign for Gearbox?No its just a desperate attempt at baiting interest
>>750828042Gaige was still pretty funny in 3, esp when she imitates the other VHs, brick etc
>>750827987Harlowe is the only butt ugly one
I pre-ordered BL3. I am still ashamed.
>>750827987>Gamer aren't buying our game! What do we do?>Release the hot babe! Blizzard also did this and they're still faggots, so I doubt it's different here.
>>750828158They turned her into a wino except instead of being drunk on wine she's drunk on margaritas and worse yet, she's gotten fat.
>>750817337It's the only one I played a lot, for some reason I could never get into the newer ones.
>>750828568better late than never
>>750828521I preordered BL2 and bought all the DLCs and Headhunter packsI preordered TPS and bought the DLCI preordered not just BL3 but the edition that came with the Buttstallion grenade modI preordered BL4I preordered the deluxe version of Badass and Bunkers and I haven't even read the rules for it yet.You may laugh at me now.
>>750829183
>>750829183Grim
>>750829183Why?
Loveless? More like LovelASS
>>750820386what are you talking about? the game had a post main story boss and every dlc had a repeatable raid boss at the end and yes they were designed with coop in mind
>>750817337The shooting and builds you can make are decent. But be ready for pic related.>Soldier|Turret>elemental AR
>>750827421Mein negger.
>>750830064I really liked BL1, and liked BL2 and TPS. I fell for the hype with BL3 and I was coming up with my own home brew for a BL ttrpg when B&B came out so I bought that. Preordering 4 was me basically acknowledging my own sunk cost fallacy in the series and that Randy owns my soul.
>>750830149Kansai…
>>750817337>like lilith>have to play mordegay because i use sniper guns
>>750827194That's fair. That's a good point, actually.
>>750828521People who played it first won't get it but I felt this way about preordering 2. Wasn't until over a decade later I went back to see there's actually some decent DLC, and the balance problems were somewhat reduced (but not fixed).
>>750830149You had one job, Kansai.>more like Love ASS.There, fixed it for ya.
>>750830968>>750817337Not enough actual weapon variety. You get pistol, revolver, smg, assault rifle, sniper rifle, rocket launcher. Thats it, nothing else. And no, random mods on them dont help - its just a shitty gambling bullshit. I tried to play it, ditched it after getting to some city at lvl 20-30 or so. I'd rather play RAGE.
>>750817337Pirated it back in the day, loved it enough that I bought it and all the DLC and played through with all the characters. None of the other Borderlands games were nearly as enjoyable, but 3 was the closest. It still completely fucked up the atmosphere and feeling of 1 just like every other followup did, but it make the loot drops extremely plentiful and had the best feeling combat of the bunch which was the important part. Too many of the other Borderlands games went in the "Play a single character for 10,000 hours grinding dat gear bro" route while Borderlands 1 and 3 were more casual which meant you could spend those 10,000 hours playing all the characters instead. To be fairer to Borderlands than it deserves, that's an issue that even action RPGs struggle with too since they lose sight of the fact you just want to play a mindless numbers go up game and have it move quickly instead of working a second job grinding the same boss over and over
>>750830968If you played the game you know the more you used sniper rifles the more passive buffs you get for using sniper rifles. Mord just starts off a tad higher then everyone else.
>>750830750fuck dude I preordered the special edition of 3 but even I had the sense to wait until the free weekend for 4
>>750831326That's only half of them. Every weapon class has two different types in 1, similar to how in games after 2 each brand has a different version of each weapon class.
>>750830984I could argue for other minor things that make borderlands 1 more interesting to me but I understand everyone has a preference. I don't like borderlands 2 end game balance like at all but its interesting to play but after the killing of hybrid weapons something that made BL1 loot genuinely interesting I just dont think the rest of this series hits the same loot dopamine 1 does. I also never liked how revolvers were combined with pistols its a minor overlooked detail tho so it doesnt matter that much.
>>750832146When I think of BL1 I'm usually thinking of the stupid shit like fixing claptraps or going to one locstion that's cool and then never going there again, claptrap yapping in your ear about missions etc. The guns never stood out to me much since I'd usually find some OP revolver and waste people wih it until I ran out of ammo
>>750817337I thought it was okay, liked mordecai but kinda got filtered by the big ramp of the knoxx dlc. i liked the snipers alot
>>750831961No, not half of them. Thats all there is, aside from me forgetting shotguns. There are no grenade launchers, there are no LMGs, miniguns, lasers, flamethrowers, minethrowers, plasma cannons, rippers, chemsprinklers, battle rifles, lightning guns, railguns, gauss weapons, bioweapons. There different kinds of base weapons by manufacturers, and different elemental effects on them. Alien weapons and slag effect, but thats just same categories but "alien" in look.Other entries expanded a bit on that though. Like lasers in pre-sequel.
>>750832498Fair. I'm looking at it through an autistic lens. Also I liked the claptraps for backpack SDU upgrades. Feels more diagetic than fucking off to grind purple blocks. Bl3 went back to just buying all of them which was an improvement over 2
>>750817337Main game is decent but is made redundant in all aspects by 2. The DLCs are all bad. Some of the most boring shit I've ever played.
Sucks ass in every wayGameplay is basic and repetitive, story and writing is atrocious, also a mess on a technical levelPlaying it numbs your brain like nothing else
I actually am First time doing a second playthrough, and it's been pretty fun with some nice QoL mods. Just finished the Knoxx DLC and got some sweet legendaries. Still don't get the weapon scaling though. Most of my guns are 10 levels below me but still shred everything. Still prefer the other games tho, well at least gameplay wise
>>750833225Weapons have parts, and those parts impact performance within a range set by the level. A good dark orange gun can last you 20 levels, whereas in BL2 a legendary will be outclassed numerically by green weapons within 5 levels. On the one hand that's cool because a good gun is a memorable thing, on the other it sucks because you can be stuck with the same revolver for ten hours as your best option while it gets more and more anemic against what you're fighting.
>>750827497The perfomance is way better than on launch. Still think the story is kinda boring, not as bad as 3 tho
i'm playing 4 and holy shit you get so many fucking greens and white gunsthere's no point even picking them up because they just clutter your inventory and selling them is pointless too since you don't use money for anything useful
>>750833449>>750833225Nobody cares, all you need is that quad dmg smg, maybe "fury" type TMP. Everything else sucks ass in comparison.
>>750833449Oh, thanks, good to know and yeah I've definitely been feeling that second part. I've been killing Lance soldiers with the same corrosive magnum for hours now because all my other weapons barely do anything.>>750833732Wish I had a decent corrosive SMG, but the game just refuses to drop one.
>>750832724Buying them was the best option because it made money useful. Fixing claptraps was neat up until you had to backtrack the whole level.
>>750834124>Junk coast claptrap repairI wish AIDS on whoever placed that repair kit
>>750834079Elemental magnums in 1 are the best weapons period so you probably won't be dropping that for a while.
>>750832585What kind of sicko like playing Mordecai?
>>750834332the pistol double shot skill was pretty bullshit so revolver enjoyers I'd imagine
Can I be honest? Handsome Jack was the only time this franchise was funny.
>>750817337Replaying this reminded me how much I dislike the early game. It takes forever to unlock the skills and gear that make your character fun, and by the time your build finally comes together, the game is almost over.
Man, I hate how Borderlands always seems to get one thing right while screwing up something else. I'm playing 4 right now, and while the story is miles better, the world is full of the most boring Ubisoft style open world design. Meanwhile, 3 had some of the most fun maps in the series but a story that made my ears bleed. Why can't we just have both?
>>750834332Revolver Mordecai was almost as easy mode as SMG Lilith.Although I’m gonna be really weird and say my favourite BL1 Hunter was Brick. That explosive tree was fucking hilarious once you got a good explosive AR/Shotgun/Launcher.
>>750834673But that was 2, which screwed up the atmophere.
>>750834742I liked Brick forpunching the final boss to death in five seconds
>>750817337>love mordecais cool pet>nearest equivalent to mordecai in 2 doesnt have a pet, is just a ninja>closest thing to that is the gay turret for the one fagLame
>>750834849Fl4k has pets and a Zer0 skill if you can stomach 3’s story
>>750834849>gay turretExcuse you drowning people in missiles and bullets never got old
>>750834838For PL1, you will legit not find a better gun then Brick’s fists so yeah, you might as well go all in on Brawler and enjoy that particular madness but it does fall off late into PL2. But by then you can start finding Atlas Orge’s and SnS Fatal Cruxes pretty easily and those work this his Blaster tree hilariously well.
BL2's endgame is retarded and the true BL2 version is removing the DLC packages that enable ultimate mode and raise the level cap.
>>750834332Ignoring shields and bonus headshot damage lets you absolutely mulch endgame enemies
>>750834849rip bloodwing
It's good until you learn what the game was supposed to be and how much was left out because randy spent all the budget stealing codehunters' art style at the last minute.inb4 "but the art style change was good bro"The cartoon art style is what attracted the redditors who led to the DLCs and BL2/PS being full of dated reddit humor and the story devolving into compulsory 30 minute unskippable dialog dumps trying to discuss a "serious" fight between generic good guys an adlibbing business guy with every other line being some quip.1 still has some of the best weapons of the entire franchise that none of the sequels even tried to capture. Double Anarchies can solo The Destroyer, Pestilent Defiler is the god of corrosion, if you get lucky with the rolls then the gearbox rifle in the new haven hidden room can spawn as an explody legendary that WILL last all the way from playthrough 1 to a really significant portion of playthrough 2.Little known fact: You can verify with a save editor that the base skeleton of a proper playthrough 3 is in the game, but they never finished it which leads to the underwhelming questless playthrough 2.5 you're left with.
>>750835115Nah, the worst thing about BL2's endgame is slag. It's fucking soul-sucking always having to switch weapons for every single enemy.
Mordecai's dick is canonically 3 inches long.
>>750835283Lilith canonically spent her time sucking filth encrusted bandit cock in BL1
>>750835231Who has the patience to play through BL1 more than once? It's the most tedious and boring game like EVER.
>>750834673The flak dlc is the best bit, and lt harmony is a great villain
Funny, ppl say borderlands has Mad Max aesthetic, but it always felt to me more like the Golden Fever western aesthetic, with all the vault hunters and bandits and shieet. Pandora is an allusion of a post-colonial America, where corporations represent the British Empire.
>b4 on sale for $30please stop me
More Borderlands news. The Borderlands franchise has officially crossed 100 million units sold
>>750837538Does it include Loveless and the Fl4k dlc? Those are actually fun.
>>750837538It's a $20 game at most
>>750833732While that weapon certainly has the "highest DPS", BL1 has tons of gun variations that feel great and are fun to use. I'm a big fan of the shotgun variants that get the spread of a sniper rifle (doubly fun if you are playing Roland with the shotgun perks), elemental revolvers and there is a litany of useful rifle / MG variants. I still have yet to find any gun that is more fun to use than an expanded mag Steel Bastard (never managed to find a Shattering one...).
>>750837941The Elephant was always my favorite. Scopeless sniper rifles are just cool.
>>750817337>Opinions on Borderlands 1?General Knoxx is the best character they ever had. Gone too soon.
>>750838149General Knoxx started the unfunny ramblings that 2 took way too far too often.
>>750838149Marcus is the best character.
>>750836671>corporations I always thought this was inspired by the tabletop Cyberpunk.
>>750838350Why does that nigga, who seems to have a planet-spanning arms dealing empire, have to drive a fucking bus in the BL1 intro
>>750839084For the love of the game
>>750839084Clealy his buisness success has allowed him the free time to take odd jobs
>>750838071I haven't played much Sulfur yet, but one of the first random weapons I found was a single shot lever action rifle with iron sights only and it has been fun as hell to plink stuff with it. It came in 9mm but I found a kit to bore it out to 5.56 and tripled its damage. The game is extremely jank but enjoyable enough so far.
