Borderlands 2 discussion thread

The best game i have ever played IMHO.

The story is pretty good (though not the best, and that becomes irrelevant after the first playthrough)

I love the random weapons, it keeps the game interesting, you could find a great gun that you keep all the way through a playthrough, and the legendary weapons are all super interesting.

The raid bosses are great fun and good to figure out how to solo along with the seraph weapons being just as interesting as the legendaries.

The characters are all so different from eachother with all of their skills completely different and same with their skill trees and capstones

I love even just killing the same boss over and over again, sometimes hundreds of times to get a legendary weapon for some reason i cant explain.

I just love this game and all of its DLCs, it's near perfect in my opinion and i would recommend it to ANYONE who asks

Abhorrent. Let it be known I enjoyed the first one even with its flaws. The 2nd one has zero redeeming quality except for the art style, which was stolen. Extremely shameful considering it was the most successful selling point. Enemies are ultimate bullet-sponges. There are only a few dozen original guns with many stat variations. The story has multiple glaring plot holes, such as jack owning the machines that resurrect you. Unnatural, forced character that hilariously still fall within the tropes that progressive nutjobs are apparently against. Memes (career suicide for any writer.) Finally, terrible gameplay with possibly the worst skill sets available, one of which is literally an aimbot (for the beserker.)

This is a terrible game. Everything is just bullet sponge in place of higher difficulty and it's full of forced memes in the awful writing.

Let me start by saying i LOVED. Borderlands 1. Me and my cousin played it for hours and hours together. Sometimes pulling all nighters. I fucking loved grinding for guns and loot.

I was so stoked for borderlands 2. I started to play it and after a few days… was so disappointed in what they had created. The world was lifeless, the guns pathetic and unsatisfying, the writing was just terrible. I didnt even beat the final boss. I just dropped it in sheer disappointment and never picked it up again. It makes me sad to know we will never see another borderlands game as good as #1.

Honestly? It's fun with friends and has a few things going for it, but it is a flawed game. Borderlands 1 was a far superiour game despite lacking a story, generally having better environments, better enemies and better guns. Major flaws down below.

>Explosive weapons seem to be better than pretty much everything else making other weapons almost completely redundant.

>Your shields seem almost useless, going down in 2-3 shots, even if there are supposedly really good.

>Every enemy is a bullet sponge and are not really fun to fight. Flyers anyone?

>For a game that prides itself in have billions of guns there are not that many unique or interesting guns with only certain types of guns ever being viable.

>Because enemies are such horrid bullet sponges and do frankly way too much damage; when you do get an interesting weapon you can never play with it due to using such weapons being close to suicide.

>Environments feel almost barren and empty.

>Exploration is quite often a waste of time and when you do find a supposedly "good" loot chest there is almost always never anything of worth in it.

>Poor variety of vehicles and terrible vehicle handling.

>DLC whoring; DLC for Borderlands 1 felt like there was more effort put into it to put in generally good content. Borderlands 2 DLC felt meh and a cashgrab at best, although Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep was generally fun and interesting.

>Game feels more like a chore than fun at times.

Honestly how I feel. Not a bad game by any means but I do find myself getting bored with it rather fast.

Rambling time.

>>16465

Don't forget the terrible scaling on fucking everything. Equipment later on is pretty much obsoleted within a few levels rather than the 20 or so in BL1. Anyway, I'm mostly in the same boat as this anon. I also took the time to pirate the Pre-Sequel and it was even worse. The O2 thing wasn't even done that well, the double jumping was pretty worthless. I think it would've been better if it allowed for UT-esque double taps and a proper double jump. Though that still wouldn't fix the terrible pacing. You wind up really underleveled if you don't go out of your way for side quests. I don't even remember the characters other than one of them being able to become an aimbot IIRC. I also would've perferred it if the BL1 cast wasn't really given this much voice work. On another note, Mordecai's VA in BL1 was much better if you as me. The big bosses in BL2 are just a big fucking pain in the ass to fight with their HP pools and limiting how much you're allowed to fight them is an insult to Diablo-like looting games.

Oh, and >>16446 too.

>Achievement names and an easter egg are forced memes now

I do agree with the HP inflation however. Late game in BL2, an upgrade skyrockets your damage by thousands at a time. The formula is literally an exponential one that gets out of control very quickly.

True Vault Hunter is good, but Ultimate Vault Hunter is a fucking slogfest. It gets even more ridiculous if you find one of the rarer weapons like Infinity which completely outclass any non-legendary weapons of its level and for several levels after that.

Next BL game, they need to step away from Disgaea Syndrome and tighten the scaling so that a weapon doing 5-digit damage is a big fucking deal. Ridiculous damage inflation just promotes boot culture and rewards grinding over actual skill.

I enjoyed it, more or less. I beat it a couple times, but after a while I got pretty bored with it. It was fun but it didn't take long to completely play it to death and Gearbox apparently thinks that doing the same things with bigger numbers on the screen constitutes a whole fresh new dimension of gameplay.

The memes and writing in general were fine on my first play, but after a while it got pretty cringy.
