3 was a lot of fun. The story’s meh, but everything else was great.

Are they still harvesting personal data from players?

The writing in Borderlands 3 is not great, but the gameplay was a huge step up over 2. It's not a great idea to forget that Borderlands 3 happened, as it's an excellent game.

Excellent?.. Well, your experience might be different but even though I clocked way more hours at BL3, I don’t remember an inch about it. I remember lots of details and fun moments about BL1 and BL2 though.

I honestly didn't think it was any better or worse than the others. The writing wasn't good in any of them, but the gameplay was good enough. Tiny Tina was the most irritating character in the whole series and she's mainly in BL2, which is a fan favourite.

I've never thought any of them were worth buying at full price though as they all tend to feel a bit tedious about 2/3rd of the way through.

I wish Borderlands would have stayed on the vault hunting topic presented in 1. All I wanted an open world Pandora where we just hunt vaults.

[-] Nima@leminal.space 22 points 4 days ago

can't make me, sorry! i love borderlands 3. (sorry to interrupt the hateful circlejerk that seems to be in most comment sections for games forums these days.)

Borderlands 3 is fun and I look forward to my next playthrough

Personally, my only complaint is that legendary guns were too common in BL3. I often kept running with the same legendary for 15-20 levels becauae they were still better than the non-legendaries. Why have 18 bajillion guns when there's 20 better ones you can get semi-often?

[-] justsquigglez@leminal.space 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Totally agree with you that the game is still incredibly fun, they've more or less mastered that part. It's the story that got me and I'm not even one to really pay attention to the story in games.

I do hope this next story will at least be bearable (and for the love of God, if they're trying to make us forget BL3, then write out Ava for fucks sake. Better yet, have someone offhandedly mention she died on a random planet.)

One of the vault hunters is from the Traunt family. Members of which were sprinkled quite liberally around the 3rd game.

Not doing a very good job of making people forget.

I don't even know what this is

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Waaaaaay ahead of you Gearbox...

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Fun fact they still haven’t fixed a bug where landing on the jakobs planet with the jungles kills some of the audio from the game on ps4/5

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 6 points 4 days ago

not hard to do, I played it muted and with the captions off to spare myself from all that quirked up millennial dialogue.

pretty good like that, honestly

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

I'm apparently the only person who really enjoyed 3 all the way through.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

How many times did it crash? I enjoyed it, then it crashed and I didnt enjoy that segment as much, then it crashed again and it was a chore, then I got to the next checkpoint, and then it crashed and I did it again, and then it crashed and now its dead to me.

[-] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

Crashed like it was buggy? Never.

I played it a while after release though.

[-] mrfriki@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

It’s ok, I already forgotten a few years ago.
