Personally I'm getting just as much out of BL3 as I did with BL2. The minute to minute gameplay is more satisfying than ever so I don't even worry so much about the end-game because I'm enjoying just taking each character to lvl. 50 and seeing how powerful they can get. Sure, once I do that with every character I'll be done until DLC comes out but by then I'll have played the game for hundreds of hours so kinda hard to complain. Borderlands 2 did have a better story but that's such a minor part of what I play these games for. Half the time I play with the volume low enough that the dialogue can be completely ignored.

Kaysette posted:the player isn't the main character in borderlands 3 and that kind of sucks. they talk a big game about the VAULT HUNTER but neuter any agency you have and completely ignore you in all pivotal scenes. This is the real problem here. That, and unskippable cutscenes.

Tinfoil Papercut posted:I played BL2 nonstop for about a year before I got bored of it, only to find myself coming back years later to play through again. Is it possible the year+ of nonstop bl2 made you tired of borderlands in general? That's how it feels for me at least, having grinded bl2 as well. I'm still having fun with this, but the "magic" is dulled, like I've built up a tolerance to it

Why don’t slam artifacts affect Amara’s slam skill? That’s dumb and really sucks.

I'm really glad slag was dropped as an element though, that'll make UVHM when it inevitably returns a hell of a lot less painful.

Do artifacts only give you bonuses if you are sliding / slamming (depending on the artifact, obviously) or am I missing something or haven't seen any good ones yet.

There are other action-dependent bonuses. Some give you bonuses on killing badass enemies, others on using your melee. Some bonuses/perks are on all the time like bonus to weapon damage/damage type, max health, etc.

watho posted:because that would be extremely stupid and broken I mean the way it’s built now who has the time to climb on top of something, jump off, and crouch? It turns slam artifacts from niche powerful in specific cases to outright useless in all cases, considering the only reason that the slam worked in TPS was because you could do it anywhere that had lower gravity. Also I’m more frustrated than anything because the attack is literally titled a slam and its action skill description describes it as a slam, highlighted and everything, so it is extremely misleading and you only find that slam artifacts don’t do anything if you test for it. Judge Tesla posted:I'm really glad slag was dropped as an element though, that'll make UVHM when it inevitably returns a hell of a lot less painful. Ironically speaking New Maliwan weapons sort of obviate the frustration of slag mechanics, combined with weapon switch speed being much much faster here and the (godsend) fact you can “preload” weapon switches by tapping the button multiple times, but yeah.

There's artifacts that increase luck, money/ammo/health, elemental damage, and attack mini-grenades on melee. If you're really hard-up for something beyond slide/pound, you can farm the Psycho-Billies by Rogues Hollow to get an Electric Banjo. It gives every shot a chance to generate a Tesla grenade effect on an enemy.

Well I got my 100 frozen ghosts. All I had to do was stop using my main cryo weapon that also sets everything on fire if I'm playing at night, and not pick an action skill at all. I did get a lvl 50 Ghast call though, so I guess I can stop being mad at video games.

Managed to get an Itchy laser-sploder and an artifact that boosts radiation spread, such a fun combo for large mobs. Wish the game had less titchy and difficult to spot enemies, those snake enemies are a pain in the rear end.

Judge Tesla posted:That'd be your problem yes, the game was classing your kills as being done by fire damage and not cryo. Which is understandable, but super-not obvious until I was reading up on the different orange weapons. The guys weren't bursting into flame ever and the damage numbers weren't red. Then of course after I finished that slog the sun came up or whatever and all those other chumps you have to hunt down were cryo kills.

Based on what I've read on the gaming industry, this thing probably needed an extra few months before it was ready to go but were forced to publish due to pressure from the publishers and management. I'm happy with the game we have, but I think it probably could also have done very well as a holiday release w/ a completed takedown, fewer bugs and better performance.

As somebody who got burned out by the haunted stuff and had to put the game down for a bit, I'm still glad to hear they're not making it a one-time thing with missable cosmetics. Here's hoping they have a shutoff switch for it next year though.

People who say Borderlands 2 was a better game really should go back and play it. The loot is absolutely trash, be it from world drops, chest drops or mission rewards. One out of a hundred guns would be useful and that's being really generous. Side missions are just some flavor chatter before you're sent off to the other side of the map then sent back to its other end to turn it. Then you can do that all again because the next step, if it's multi-part, sends you back to where you came from. Or sent to an area you haven't been to in ages. You do it because you hope the reward would be at least decent but it never is. I can see why I fell off of this game. If I weren't playing with my friend I would have already quit. We're just plowing through the main story at this point and hope the DLC is better in both mission design and rewards. Jimbot fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Dec 6, 2019 |

He's not tough you just can't let him get close to you obviously. It sucks that there's usually an anointed outside of his area. I just open his door and run backwards and huck a bunch of Ghost calls at him and they usually take him down pretty quick now.

Well I got it, and it's disappointing To me that seems like it should output a ton of damage but it only does around 4-5k just like it says. The % modifier doesn't seem to be working.
