lmao yea it looked to me like a 360 game

I wonder if I'm okay with that because my formative experience was playing BL1, extensively, on the 360.

Yeah, either Maya or Gaige. (Gaige brings her own best friend.)

Yeah, playing Gaige is like playing with someone online, but without being assaulted by them trying to talk to you the whole time.

Yes, it's me, the massive hater who almost exclusive plays BL games solo, unless someone is like, "Hey, wanna hang out and also play Borderlands?" because gently caress having my enjoyment of a game be contingent on the existence of other people :colbert:

I just found a Mordecai save on my 360 with a last save date in 2005. Oh, the nostalgia feels, come to me.

I mean, I'm bad at getting on things on day zero anyway, so if it's not on Steam for the first 6 months, I guess I'll show up late.

So any guides out there on how to copy/import your characters from ordinary BL1 over to GOTY Enhanced edition on PC?

I'm watching the installer chug along and was just wondering if the saves would automatically move over when I run it. So...yes, that would be good info to know.

I can't even bring myself to read all of this. Who the gently caress talks like that.

It's like one of those food blogs where you end up skimming like 18 paragraphs of BS about their kids, their SUV, something about a school play, someone in the family died, yadda yadda, oh and here's the recipe: just add some spices to boxed mac & cheese or whatever. It's always underwhelming and I wonder why I didn't ask my mom instead.

It would be if she ever got called out on it. Also that joke about changing her accent to sound like Scooter and saying “Homophobia!” was just a bit too much.

I will say Springs was much better in Tales at least.

Predatory lesbians are a pretty gross trope in fiction, and Janey crosses that line for me from time to time.

I say this as a queer woman who is overjoyed most representation in fiction, especially vidja games. Maybe there's a different connotation for that sort of behavior in Australia.

She's not the worst, but I find myself yelling, "oh, come ON," at the game way too often.

Orange Crush Rush posted:

Because like what Dirt Road says, she often gets borderline predatory about how much she chases after every other female NPC, most of which are known to be straight, but never gets called out on it. And in fact Tina seems to cheer it during the narration ("You go girl get that puss!"). Also when you first meet her as a male VH, some of the flirt with her a bit and then she launches into a whole deal about men who assume every girl is straight are about as bad as the baby eating bandits or some poo poo.

So maybe it wasn't pandering to gay people as much as it tried to pander people on Tumblr.

This. It came off as trying way too hard, and also leaning into some really toxic stereotypes about horny lesbians.

Honestly, I liked Axton's (accidental) sexuality. Sure, it was originally a bug in his voice lines, but then the writers leaned into it. Him being casually bi is good representation, IMO.

I rather like the Old Haven quest, but then I mostly beeline for the nearest roof when I get in there and then proceed to jump between buildings wherever possible and shooting down at the ground troops.

I just finished the main story line a couple of hours ago as Lilith and The Destroyer dropped a high physical damage sniper rifle with +800% critical hit damage. I'm thinking of rolling a sniper Mordecai, but I'm guessing they did not add any simple way to transfer items between characters in the remaster?

Moxxi doesn't actually sleep with or marry anyone. The universe just decides between games that something happened and now its onto husband number 10 and another scooter just materializes into the world, older than Moxxi.

BL4's plot hinges around scientists trying to study this phenomenon.

Do you think they'll keep the radio ads from BL2 in the game? I want to hear more about Comrade Vladof arming every single revolutionary possible to take down the oppressors.

Yes plz. The advertisements in BL1 and BL2 really added to the atmosphere. It kept things post apocalyptic, but also irreverent.

One of my dumbest BL1 moments was getting accidentally wreckaged on klonopin while on my first ever playthru, and then waking up the next day and realizing I not only couldn't remember several hours worth of plot, but I'd sold all my good guns.

On the upside, it was super early in the first run of the game, and I almost immediately found better replacements in Marcus's machines.

Don't do drugs, kids.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the first two games and there are several people that I've been looking forward to playing through BL3 with. And I'd love to support the people who actually make the games and have to put up with Randy's bullshit. But I'm getting more and more uncomfortable with the fact that some of my money would effectively be going directly into his pocket.

And you know what he does when he puts his hands in his pockets when he's full of the money-frenzy.

Must concur: CEO is loony blowhard, will buy on Steam probably March-ish.


Guessing L61 is the peak level for BL1 GotY/Enhanced/NewBugsEdition. My Berserk is up to L59 and the grind is actually fairly quick despite all of the dying to the various Guardians that refuse to stay still long enough to die.

Hadn't played for a few weeks or a month, but it's so close now.

Have you played the DLCs? I've got a maxed as gently caress lvl 69 Lilith with only 2 quests left to 100% Playthrough 2 (Crawmerax and Moxxi's arenas).

I hope it comes back but wouldn’t be the first time a game got lost in the digital decay

I just found out the Scott Pilgrim beat-em-up is dead on consoles, and that makes me sad ._.

Cease to Hope posted:

If it's still on the app store, it won't be for long. All of the Telltale games are retired by the end of the month.

That might change for Tales from the Borderlands, but right now there's been no announcement.

At least on Android, you can side load APKs easily. I even found one of the old Borderlands mobile game that the internet has all but scrubbed, but it wouldn't work on my tablet. iOS, there is some capability to load non-App Store code, but I think you need to be Jailbroken.

so why are their so many raiders/psychos? i barely played the first game but i think it was kinda of the bulletstorm scenerio where the company used convicts to mine poo poo and it hosed them up.

I mean, that's basically it. Dahl swooped in, used convict labor, and then peaced out but left the convicts behind to fend for themselves.
