Had nothing to do with the 90% off price on Steam, I’m sure.
Borderlands 2 is such a good game that one of its DLCs (Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep) is also one of the best games ever made, in its own right.
Man. 2010-2015 were some STRONG years in gaming. Portal 2 and its DLCs, Borderlands 2 and its DLCs, Skyrim, Shadow of Mordor, Hearthstone, The Last Of Us, Pokemon X & Y…
Edit: this comment appears to have lost its parent, so now it just seems like a non sequitur, but you folks are smart.
BL2 still works on Linux, too. I can’t play BL3, which I hear is the better game (albeit with worse plot).
I think it might have better QOL features, but honestly the gameplay loop in BL2 is better. And I think the engine might be more robust, too.
I tried the Epic Version of BL3 (when they gave it away) via Heroic Launcher and that works flawlessly. However I did not yet try online coop.
Hmm, maybe next time I’m buying games, I’ll pick up BL3 hoping it works on my Debian system through Proton or something.
Thanks for the info.
I’m only playing 3 because it’s the only game in the series I didn’t finish. The villains are so god awful and the writing is so cringe that I’ve had to step away from playing it several times over the years.
2 is still the best game by far.
The writing is really awful but boy the gameplay is fun. It’s certainly the step up from Borderlands 2 that was needed (even though I love BL2 more in every other way)
The gameplay is great when they leave the fucking balance alone. “Nice build you just finished, too bad it sucks now! Farm more!”
You are right. I just can’t get myself to finish nr3
Agreed. Had a ton of time in others (minus tps) probably 1k hours in 2
Been playing 3 with dialogue muted and no subtitles. Becomes a good youtube/ tv game as the gameplay is pretty fun
2 > 1 > 3 > TPS
Have you played Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands? It’s pretty similar to 3, but I loved the hell out of the setting and meta jokes
I played two hours of it and hated the gameplay.
Dang really? I liked how they decided to not even attempt to call them grenades and just made it magic. I haven’t played all the classes yet, but they all did seem more barebones than BL2 and 3, likely because you multiclass.
The previews made the movie look nonsensical and confusing.
From the reviews I’ve seen (Outside Xbox), that’s the most you’ll get out of it. It’s mostly a nothing burger, “bad” is the best thing you can say about it.
The story and dialogue is really cringe. The worst part is they straight up disrespect old characters, reducing them down into jokes. Axton and sal come to mind,
But the gameplay and atmosphere are top notch, some really talented people put their souls into the game. I find myself stopping and looking when I find some beautiful scenery, and just having a moment.
