For those who haven't been paying attention this dude is a huge troll who apparently hates the game and himself after playing it for threee days straight. You can dismiss any opinions he has on this game pretty much.

Give him some credit. It was 8 times. That argument happened before Doppelganger came out. Unless he's gone back and hated it all the way through twice more since.

Lester Shy posted:How's this game holding up now, a month after release? I usually buy 1-2 recent AAA games at full price each year, and I've been eyeballing this one, but I'm always wary of sequels developed by "off-brand" studios. I put 100+ hours into BL2 taking a Gunzerker up to OP8, so I'm a big fan of the core gameplay, just wondering if the Pre-Sequel has as much staying power as BL2. I think there's less endgame right now - I have 4 playthroughs, one of which was TVHM and there isn't much to do after you get to level 50 other than reroll. I'm hoping that the holodome and campaign DLC will help, but so far I've moved back to BL2 to work through some unplayed content in that game.

There are so many things that break your left hand/arm animations in this game. Athena does it if your skill runs out at an odd time, she'll still have her arm out. If you take Nisha's One for Each of Ya skill and then switch back to a non pistol her left arm will break and not be shown in any animations.

It's about 2/3rds as long, I'd say, speaking roughly. If Borderlands 2 (minus DLC) was about 20-30 hours, Pre-Sequel is more like 15-22.

ProfessionalNinja posted:The quest to shoot the defector out of the moon cannon is loving stupid on TVHM. The beacon can take 2 maybe 3 shots before it is destroyed, and there is little to no way to keep the enemies from shooting it immediately. Yeah that missions bugged. The health doesn't scale to TVHM, so it requires near perfect guarding. I said gently caress it, they'll patch it eventually.

Unfortunate since these games are supposed to be time sinks, but I'll probably still pick up the ps4 version if that ends up happening , especially if the DLC is bundled.

I'd wait until after the UVHM patch/dlc comes out since that will be when the endgame will be at its full potential which is needed now since the endgame is sorely lacking. It still won't be amazing since mobbing isn't that great because of the poor combat flow and small amount of enemies which is most likely due console memory limitations and likely won't be fixed.

(This was verified literally by the 24 hour charity stream that finished the game.) Yup, after I beat TPS a few times, I did my first playthrough of TVHM playthrough for BL2. TPS is the better new player game - the game is more forgiving and accessible. But for sheer content breadth, BL2 is the one to go with (and it has more raid bosses.)

Is Tales going to be an episodic kind of game, a la Walking Dead / Wolf Among Us? I'm a Borderlands fan but I'd hate waiting months for story arcs to be finished and rather buy the whole season on one Steam sale.

That's basically what I did with The Walking Dead. As in, I had a very mild interest in the Walking Dead, and finally bought it during a Steam Sale when all of Season 1 was available for the price of a cup of beans.

Tales from the Borderlands: Tiny Tina probably isn't in it.

It hit me that the reason why I can't come up with anything else is because pretty much all of the promo material focused only on Rhys' story. Oh well, I guess it's Telltale's fault and not mine. New thread.

I'm playing though BL2 right now and will be picking this up in the Christmas sale. I've got a couple of questions about the new mechanics I haven't seen answered though. - Are the drop rates better than BL2? If they're low I'll use cheat engine to make them better anyway, but it'd be nice to not have to do that. - Oxygen looks annoying, especially as a person who likes to take his time. Are there enough Oxygen canisters laying around that it's not much of an issue? Might end up playing Claptrap just to not have to worry about it. - How are lasers? They look like they'd basically just be super accurate assault rifles/sniper rifles in most cases. - Can you tweak the .ini file to turn off black borders and cel-shading like you could for BL2? It made BL2 run a lot better for me.

Drop rates are...you mostly want to get the good stuff from bosses, but you can still find a lot of blues in chests. Don't expect much from other enemies. Oxygen management is a complete non-issue, all enemies killed drop oxygen and you find it in chests, air geysers and air bubbles everywhere. It's just there to give you a resource to manage (mostly butt-stomps and boosts) and to give you an incentive to not sit on your rear end. Claptrap is immune to vacuum anyway. Lasers are fun but also difficult to quantify because there's three or four types of lasers, rapid-fire, scattershot, rail gun and stream. They're always elemental of some sort, so it's a nice way of adding some flash.

You can, thankfully, which I did because the border still looks like poo poo and has no anti aliasing on it. The game runs on literally the exact same engine so all the ini tweaks from the previous game still work in this one. I left the cel-shaded shadows on though because I like the cartoony look of it. Unfortunately there's no way to remove the ugly instagram vintage filter in one particularly large area of the game besides turning the graphics down though.

You're hurt more by not being able to double jump really. -Lazers are kind of like Assault rifles in BL2: it depends on which one you get. The good thing is there's only 4 varieties, from a spread to a railgun. -Not sure
