AAA game? Performance issues and crashing on release? Why I never.

    Bout to finish the main story of bl3, wish it was longer, seems like content was cut so they could sell expansions, idk maybe im just comparing it to borderlands 2 + all expansions, I didnt really do side quests but typically I do these when I need to, playing solo I didn’t ever need to leave and do those before coming back to the main story.

      As I understand it, BL3 didn’t use the same writers as BL2. The DLC for BL3 did, though, which is why it’s of a very high quality. BL1-2 are some of my favourite games and as someone who doesn’t replay/reread/rewatch I’ve replayed those games a lot, but Pitchford was a huge douche about BL4 and its pricing so I decided hey, I’ll solve that problem by just not buying it.

        I tried 3 just to see what all the interest was about, but couldn’t get into it. There were loads of guns and none of them seemed great or much different from each other. Was I supposed to collect them and sell them? I wanted to like it cos I enjoy the art style, maybe I should give it another go sometime.

          That is part of the genre, yeah.

          They’re procedurally generated within a range of possible effects and damage based off the “manufacturer” in-game

          You’ll end up finding one you really like and using it for like 5 levels, while selling other loot, until you find one that jives more with your play style and is more powerful than your current loadout

            Ah gotcha, cheers. I guess I’m old fashioned but I kinda just like a shotgun mostly when gaming.

            But yeah I’m thinking maybe I should give it another try, I did really like the style.

              I haven’t played 3, but loved 2. Still haven’t finished it, maybe should.

              There’s a bunch of generic weapons (themed by manufacturer and weapon type), but there’s also some unique ones. Bane in particular was a really funny one to discover.

      Enough ppl dont complain about how they artificially extend the time by having you wait for ppl talk, thought it was a limitation in older games, especially bad in sanctuary, like let me just play the game, talk while I do stuff, don’t make me stand around pausing the game if I open my menu extending it futher.
