The jokes are bad, but the absolute worst part of BL3's writing was when it was trying to be dramatic. I assume the new spin-off avoids this by being a silly dice game.

It’s not a shooter, but the Telltale borderlands game hits a nice balance with the tone and humor imo

It is simultaneously the best Telltale game and the best Borderlands game. Which is quite the achievement for a licensed spinoff title.

There are also two different swords that have a drill effect. You could have a drill-themed build.

It's pretty bullshit when they do because they can do it at will, against the middle of a combo or against the first hit in it, doesn't matter. Whenever I find those enemies I just do jump attacks constantly because anything else is just waiting for the rng to decide to kill you.

Dual thorned whips eat them alive and deal a surprising amount of poise damage - to the point where they’re constantly staggered so long as you have the stamina to keep hitting them. The whips are also surprisingly good against Malenia

Everything about borderlands is Nostalgia Critic humor. Worst kind of comedy, grown adults making 9 year old kid's joke complete with signposting. Objectively bad taste. Rob Schneider is leagues above this. Vic has a new favorite as of 03:31 on Apr 2, 2022 |

Something I'm enjoying with Nioh that wasn't really clear earlier in the game is that even when some of the missions are throwing difficult Yokai at you, even though the human enemies don't get many upgrades they make up for it with strategy. The humans in the Ship Graveyard in the second map aren't any harder to fight one-on-one, but they now have a guy on the nearby ships firing cannons at you. The yokai fight harder, but the humans fight smarter, which keeps you on your toes. My last completed mission was the side mission where you fight the Flying Cloth in the graveyard level, which was a cool area. I also like that some enemies get full miniboss treatment and you can tell when you are in trouble because they get unique music. The Tengus and the Flying Cloths get that mini-boss music, showing you're about to get wrecked.

I've been posting about Sekiro in the other thread because of some boss/miniboss fights (just got wrecked by Genichiro for the first time since the intro), but one thing I love is the little ready-up move Wolf does during cutscenes with his sword, where he tilts the scabbard forward, usually with a one-liner like "This won't take long." The little click noise of the blade being loosened is so satisfying, and it makes you think you're about to see Wolf do Some Sweet Samurai poo poo (tm). However, I'm not very good at the game, so it doesn't usually play out that way. It gets me psyched up every time, though. Fifty Farts has a new favorite as of 04:34 on Apr 3, 2022 |

It is funnier if you imagine Wolf doing his cool samurai intro, and then he immediately gets clowned on.

He didn't specify what would take long. I like the thought of Sekiro thinking "aw man lady butterfly is going to loving murder me"

That's true! I forgot about the cool opening fight. I wish there was a reward for beating it (like a hard mode where your arm doesn't get chopped off and you don't get prosthesis weapons).
