i wish krieg was playable in 3 as well. he's easily the most fun player character they've done. I'm kind of mixed on the 'new characters every game' thing, cause so far it seems to mean the player is a non-entity during the story, then they come back in the next game to get merked in some stupid way to give the writer's OC yet more motivation to beat the baddy. but the borderlands 1 characters were exceptionally dull, i guess because the game was reworked from a serious mad max thing to what it is now at the last minute. I do like FL4K a lot, even if barely anyone comments on them being a robot at all.

Its not even that much extra dialogue, they only have 4 characters and they were pretty up front about not adding any more.

Amara is probably the one who takes Maya's death the most personally besides Ava, she has a couple of sad remarks about her death and then a few again in the Kreig DLC, she only ever refers to her as sister as well.

That's one thing I definately miss from the Pre-sequel, characters could talk to you instead of at you. They'd have unique dialogue and conversations with each vault hunter class. I know they brought a lot from the pre-sequel into Borderlands 3 but that's one thing I miss.

New mode is called Arms Race, elements of BR but "not a Battle Royale game". Despite being BR-like I don't think it'll be PvP. Could be fun but a standalone mode is not what I was hoping for.

There's a reason PVP got relegated to a non-entity after the first game. You'd have to remove skill trees and action skills to make not a total disaster. It's going to suck if this second season is just trying to make Gun Running a thing, regardless of whether it works or not.

Its probably going to be some kind of race to get the most kills or something, if its not going to be pvp. Maybe we'll have to use random guns or something.

So here's my big problem with Borderlands games in general : When you have a specific gun that feels really good to use, the game is a blast. When you don't, it's annoying and a slog. What ends up happening is I find a really great gun to use for a while, and I have pure joy, then I outlevel it and start having problems with enemies not dying fast enough and I switch up guns and the fun I have drops significantly. The games have millions of guns and all but when only a handful feel good to use it's really annoying when you don't get one of those handfuls. The problem is worst early on at lower levels too, so you have to level up just to get to the point where you start getting the good guns that feel good to use. I hate the lower levels because trying to get a decent gun early on is just so annoying.

Starting with BL2 I would do a playthrough on the campaign first without adjusting things, but after that I find using a save editor is a big quality-of-life upgrade. Otherwise the grind is just too, well, grindy.

yeah, this feeling kinda happens in 3, but it was SUPER bad in 2. In Borderlands 2 I remember getting a WTF shield and a swarm of bees grenade that made gunfights in multiplayer a bunch more chaotic and fun. Those 2 legendaries made the game so different and changed how we played and really felt legendary... but I out-leveled those almost immediately and the game got less fun than it was before I found those legendaries. The legendaries in 3 are a little tamer, but also more common. Also it doesn't feel so bad to replace them with purples 10 levels higher

is there a way for me to get a higher level version of the Cloud Kill smg you get from the main story (beyond playing through the whole thing on true vault hunter mode i guess). it was my favourite gun for a very long time till i outlevelled it. right now my best guns are clairvoyance and convergence. clairvoyance is a cryo element jakobs AR that shoots torgue-style sticky bombs and for some reason does a huge amount of damage. convergence is a shotgun that makes a bunch of extra pellets come out of midair and hit the enemy and do a ton of damage. i recently found a maliwan smg called Flipper that doubles the amount of bullets it fires as you hold down fire, up to like a grid of 9. it does a good amount of damage too. i'm on mayhem 6 because i want to see the special mayhem-only guns, but its not super fun as like 99% of guns are totally useless, and rolling a good set of modifiers takes forever. right now i have a pretty decent set of modifiers, but one of them is that like half of all enemies are immune to fire damage, so i can't use the hellwalker shotgun like i used to. is there anything special with the ghosts in the halloween event? do they have a mechanic or are they just enemies that spawn when you kill other enemies?

If you're playing on PC then you could edit the save. I've been using the web-based save editor and it has been working okay. Not as good as Gibbed was for BL2, but functional. http://bl3editor.com/#/

Huh. I remember the Halloween event being a lot harder last year. Dunno if it's because of all the buffs, but I tear through it and Haunt on M10 with my cryo Zane. Like, it's oddly easy now. The ghosts are all one shots, too. Even the red badass ones. I can even snipe Haunt's phylacteries from across the stage with my cryo light show, which is not something that the light show can usually do. Just one hit and poof, destroyed.

I decided to run through Krieg's dlc on Moze and pretty early into it I got a Mind Sweeper class mod with some really nice bonuses on it. It just so happened that I also got a 65 M10 fire/corrosive Flipper with a meh anoint before that and the combo of the 2 is, uh, strong: https://twitter.com/hamsystem_/status/1315168946446897152?s=19 and here's the 2 pieces of gear and my totally unoptimized build: https://twitter.com/hamsystem_/status/1315172927650828288?s=19

Devorum posted:Not at all. The only thing funnier was Scrappy Doo being named the commander of the Crimson Raiders. So I have my own headcannon theory about that (incoming effortpost) I have a sneaking suspicition Ava was supposed to be the only remaining Siren and do most of the Siren heavy lifting while Tannis took on the Eridian expert role. She was supposed to have her own little mini-Lilith arc, going through a loss, becoming impulsive and reckless , getting punished for it, then having her big hero moment. But then 3 things happened: -The ending was rushed as hell so they needed to put her arc on fast-forward, hence why her impulsive yelling seems so grating -Somewhere Gearbox realized "oh wow with the way we have this setup, Pen and Teller will torture a child in front of a live audience. Yikes. Better re-write that." Hence you get the existing story. -They also probably realized that making Tannis the leader would be out of character , what with her whole......thing going on. EDIT: I also realize I'm like........1 year late with this take, but I don't dislike the villains that much. They feel more wasted than inherently bad.(but that's another effort post) Sample_text fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Oct 13, 2020 |
