For people who have played Rage 2 - does it have a similar feel to Borderlands in terms of gameplay? It's a while til BL3 so looking for something to bridge the gap.

Not very similar. Rage 2 has dull and awful characters, brief papier-mache plot, little happening between its numerous setpiece encounters, and frankly amazing & berserk gun combat (better than Borderlands by a fair amount unless you only use BL sniper rifles).

The only game I can think of that is like borderlands is Shadow Warrior 2. If you want to look that up. It has tons of customisation and weapons to use.

OK cool thanks, I'd seen the trailers but wasn't sure re gameplay

Handsome Collection free with PSPLUS, and, for whatever reason, on sale for $6 on Steam. That includes all cosmetics if anybody wants to fill out their costume list.

It did. Just pointing it out for those that might have the main DLCs but never bothered with skins, since the cost of the whole thing is now cheaper than those individually.

Already have the PS4 version and almost got Athena to level 70, but might get the Steam version for mods.

Warframe is another shooter with an emphasis on builds, magic powers, and weird weapons.

You can also get into the broader loot shooter game as a service stuff like Destiny, Division, Anthem (which is apparently bad?) but that's further afield.

The loot system of Anthem sounds pretty bad, not very diverse, and you pretty much find commons early game, and the weapon power just scales over 3 increments to match your level.

Anthem is trash for a variety of reasons, and yes lovely loot is a big one. Is it not worth playing for any price.

I just realised, did they promote it with Crazy Train because it was Iron Man adjacent?

Yes, anthem design principle was "Iron Man in a fantasy setting"

The best gun is a starter gun- it literally does more damage than any other gun. There's only 1 mission worth running based on how much loot it drops, so players grind this mission and skip everything else. Every mission is designed to be played in co-op, but no one is playing the rest of the game making match making impossible. That's just the start of what's wrong with anthem.

Warframe is good but it's significantly different from Borderlands in pretty much every way.

Does the OP gear just scale up to the new level cap? Or will they just make OP8 gear 80, and require people to refarm op8 gear after :saddowns: Sounds like we are going to need to grind op2/4/6/8 again for top gear :rip:

Just got Handsome collection on Steam Sale but found I can't transfer my characters from PS4 as I thought. Guess I should look at some mods but I might polish off the last 3 levels on Athena.

good, but are fast travel points going to be as sparse? you know the problem, you gotta turn off the game for whatever reason, and when you get back you lose all the progress you've made on that map.

In anticipation of the new DLC, I loaded this game for the first time in 5 years and boy is it much harder than I remember. I guess I'm getting old because I'm having a tough time tracking enemies while the whole screen is exploding with Salvadore's dual Torgue shotguns

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
I had a dream that I was on Randy Pitchford's Alien-themed LA bus tour. The bus went through the rails on a highway and crashed to the ground. I remember thinking before waking up, "I guess this is what dying feels like."

I couldn’t move my character from 360 to PS4, but I started a new Gaige, abused Buck Up, tons of anarchy, and it’s not too bad.

I’m doing some DLC in normal at 37 and will jump to power through TVHM and get to UVHM and level 80 baby!
