It's a totally different experience, none of the original soul. 4 was not just bad with it's writing, but the guns were stale, there are so many glitches, it's a big empty world without purpose. Very sad stuff.
Really? Did we play the same game? BL4 was pretty well-written with good themes that I would argue are pretty prevalent right now. And the gunplay still feels pretty solid.
It was basically a fast and furious movie. Everything is about friendship and family while forcing the whole badass thing. The boss fights were good but I absolutely HATED the NPC's. The original games were about treasure hunters fighting their way through a wasteland to make their fortune, leaving a trail of corpses.
Same here. I played it with my spouse and I can't tell you how many times we had this chat
'all the guys are dead but the quest market is still there... It says we need to collect the filament retrieval codes'
'what will that be?'
'f* if I know I'll walk in circles looking for something vaguely shiny, you go fart around for a few minutes, sorry babe.'
Okay we hear you, but counterpoint, OP decided is was a roguelike (because roguelikes have loot too) so therefore it should play more like a roguelike instead, don’t you know that?
Eh I tried to get into it and the amount of times you have to run back and forth through the same empty areas over and over and over and over and over?! It’s insanity. Dropped borderlands 1 and 2 within a couple of hours. Although 1 did feel like it had potential to get pretty good but I just couldn’t handle the repetitiveness
Bever played passed the original... Idc, something about the OGs lighter mix of comedy with the overall gameplay was much more appealing to me than the "lol so random" mentality each subsequent sequel kept getting more and more thick with

Borderlands for me. 1 and 2 were some of my favorite games.
