I love that the Knoxx glitch is still in.:

I also forgot how good :torgue: was in BL1, Torgue SMGs are the absolute tits unless your RNG a better ATLAS which never seems to happen.

e: Now that I think on it I'm not sure ATLAS even makes SMGs or if I've ever seen one.

Playing the BL1 remaster and my level 8 siren just bought a fairly accurate scoped x2 lightning SMG and a x3 fire sniper rifle, both from the weapons vending machine in Fyrestone. This is so much more fun than the early weapons in BL2 or TPS.
I like how threatening the badass skags feel when you go to pick up plant seeds for TK Baha and they just come out of some hole with glowing eyes and charge at you.

There's that, and turning around to shoot the psycho you just heard spawn right behind you and it turns out he's a badass.

Playing TPS for the first time and Nisha's action skill is the best thing since Krieg. I can also confirm that the driving is miserable.

Playing through them chronologically, first time playing TPS.

It's not bad but there's definitely something off about it. Everything is basically the same, but it somehow has lost the Borderlands vibe, and I don't think it has to do with the Oxygen / jumping stuff. I can't really put my finger on it, but toward the end I was disregarding most of the side content and B-lining for the main quest. This feeling was confirmed when I fired up BL2 and even the drat glacier felt so much better than TPS. Nisha was funny, though.

Hammerlock is a fun character because he's cool and gay, but doesn't feel the need to remind me that he's gay in every single interaction unlike some moon dwelling Australian girls I met.

Now that I'm into BL2 a ways I notice one factor a lot more about TPS: The enemies had very little character.

The psychos and nomads are screaming nonsensical and funny poo poo at me while I blow them away in BL2 - but I remember virtually none of that from TPS. Either that or it was so bland that I didn't even notice. Even the Bullymongs seem to have more personality than those splitting rocklizards when they pick up outrageously large objects to toss at me.

I honestly don't remember much about TPS. I remember the first 5 hours or so and some stuff in the middle and almost nothing near the end. I remember that most of the side quests were boring and uninteresting and I eventually just ignored them and pushed through to the end. I don't remember the final level or final boss or even the ending. I only played as Nisha and if it wasn't for the broken auto aim skill with laser weapons I may not have finished it at all.

Worst part is that I have no interest in playing it again to refresh my memory and will probably just YouTube the cutscenes.

I just finished BL1 remaster last night and it was a lot more enjoyable than I expected. There were actually things I had forgotten about. It was also a much quicker playthrough with faster loading times and because I remember shortcuts to everywhere. I also got super lucky and kept finding Mashers so my pistol spec Mordecai kinda steamrolled everything.

It was also the fastest I ever killed The Destroyer. The Hive Mind rocket launcher took it down in about 15-20 seconds and it was hilarious. It barely did any damage to me.

Don't forget the Knoxx glitch still works too! Sadly those highways still exist.

Thanks. The only evidence in BL1 is that she clearly knows how to interact with the Vault key pieces and open the Vault. Doesn't explicitly mean she's a Siren but if she was you'd think at least one character would mention it.

Anyway yeah you're right. If the story they want to tell involves her being a Siren they'll do that.

I thought she levitated the key pieces together? I guess the key itself could have done it.

I played the poo poo out of BL2 back when it was new-ish and through all the DLC. For some reason I never played and glossed over anarchy Gaige. This feels like cheating.

I just played through the entirety of the Borderlands 1 GOTY Edition on PS4 without a single person joining my game, rip. Should have done the PC version, I guess. Is 2 still active at all on either platform? I have both versions so it's no sweat.

BL2 is incredibly active right now, the playerbase jumped up to levels not seen since post release.

Cryo was one of the things I liked about TPS so I'm fine with that.

So Slag has become Nuke, and it also does damage?

Tinfoil Papercut
Jul 27, 2016

Any element that makes them take increased damage will be mandatory at the highest levels. Slag or Nuke, it's going to run into the same problems of either being a dedicated gun or a mandatory build - both of which kinda suck.

A better idea would be to have each elemental effect do something unique which can compliment playstyles. Have shock stun them briefly for easier crits, corrosive slows them and applies a heavier DoT, fire applies a DoT that can spread or set off nearby barrels, cryo freezes them and grants a melee only follow-up bonus, etc.

Yeah, the active all of your kill skills when you active your digi clone skill seems nutso.

My barrier shield blows up when it passes through you, then it blows up again when your friends shoot it away because it gains the cryo nova from my regular shield. Then my regular shield goes down and blows up in a cryo nova. Then you die and blow up in a cryo nova. (All done while running very fast with insane bonus damage and recharging all my HP and shields constantly)

If Maya doesn't have a questline involving her boyfriend who is revealed to be Krieg then I'll honestly be disappointed. It's the Broderlands love story of our time.
