To clarify, I didn’t mean that Borderlands is a bad game, I mean that what was originally promised when it was announced was a great deal more interesting than what we ended up with.

I can't even remember the last game that didn't lie or bend the truth slightly to make more sales Hell even when it was physical boxed games , I remember buying like kings quest 1 on floppy disk , and on the back of the box the art showed a scene that got cut or never made it into the release copy

Yeah I had fun with BL2. I don’t think I finished it but I did sink a pretty go number of hours into it and had fun while I was playing. It wasn’t amazing but it was entertaining.

First person Diablo is something that a lot of people want. Destiny is just a bad MMO, Hellgate:London was a mess, and Borderlands is best played drunk or stoned and you have to ignore the bad dialog. I'd play the poo poo out of a proper Diablo FPS.

The trick is only to play games that have already been out for like, a year or more. Also that way they are way cheaper. Wait long enough and they're a few bucks, or free/pay as you please in some bundle.

The Skeleton King posted:I remember when Borderlands was first announced it was a gritty sci fi desert world game that was touted as having non-scripted open world stuff going on, where enemies would move around and interact with each other and the environment without the player's input. Has Gearbox ever made a good game? Between Borderlands, Duke Nukem Forever, Battleborn and Colonial Marines, I have a hard time thinking of a big studio with a worse record.

Wait long enough and they're a few bucks, or free/pay as you please in some bundle.  Games that have been out a year or more are the best. The bugs are patched, and the ones that aren't patched have well documented workarounds on the wiki. Need a hint or a full walkthrough? It's out there. Want to see crudely drawn porn of your favorite characters? There's tons of it.In the olden times it used to be sort of hit or miss waiting for games to make it to the bargain bin, but these days nearly 100% of games will be easily found a few years later at a fraction of the new game hype price.

I think I got it and all of its thousand dlcs for $20, so by the time I had it all of my friends had completed it and didn't really want to play it again. So I was stuck solo, and that game is boring as gently caress solo. At least with coop you have a friend to talk to as the game exposition dumps for an hour every time you come to a new area.

Joining in on the shamelessly late to the bandwagon club with blockbuster games. Also means that you get to dodge a lot of overhyped games that everyone completely forgets about after a year or so. Bioshock Infinite anyone?

Another game that was hyped to hell and didn't deliver on its initial promises in the slightest. The only difference being there's an almost painfully interesting character study going on under the end product's barebones plot and garbage politics.

I made the mistake of going to 4chans /vg and noticed there was a thread for Bioshock Infinite a few years after it's release. How could anyone find something in that game worth talking about 2 years later? The whole thread was about Elizabeth, what her feet must smell like, how loyal of a wife she would be, etc. So you can totally increase the staying power of your game by having a doe-eyed companion in it.

Also you found the critters nesting in the landscape rather than ammo crates, and part way through you got the ability to shove dead enemies in your ammo bag where your ammo critters would eat them and breed.

I really like it, it's got a ton of character, it's an FPS/3rd person action hybrid from back when that was *relatively* unusual and flipping between the modes feels pretty natural
