Borderlands has always struck me as slop. Good systems but built around some of the most uninspiring design and “comedy” writing ever. I can’t imagine paying $80 for that shit, I would barely consider paying 10 in a sale, maybe if my friends wanted to play it since its a coop game.
I guess that’s what they’re counting on. Groups of friends who will play 4 player and those groups will create social pressure to cough up the money or be left out.
Not only is it slop, the whole series identity was stolen. You may remember early footage of Borderlands looking like every other brown shooter from the late 2000s
Then at some point Randy Pitchford watched the indie short animated film Codehunters and had a great idea.
It is slop, some of the most boring gameplay imaginable and a million different guns to collect to keep you playing in case you find the next one with a bigger number.
basically all the loot games are slop. I remember trying to play Diablo 4 after playing Hades at high heat. Going from that to one dodge roll per 10 seconds was pretty deflating.
Woooah there buddy. Borderlands 2 was the shit. Rolling that Mad Max psycho Kreig and making it so that the more damage the more his damage output multiplies. Then making it so that he sets himself on fire before running into a hoard with a shotgun that shoots axes that explode into tinier axes which also explode. Borderlands 2 was a fun time. And it had drop in coop.
My partner enjoyed playing Lilith from the first game a lot more than Maya in the second unfortunately, but damn did I have a lot of fun playing Krieg. They did like their exploding axe weapon at least so there was that.
