Borderlands 2 with all DLC was peak Borderlands.

>>750669506
Claptastic Voyage was peak Borderlands gameplay, you just need to disable voice and subtitles and alt tab into another game during mandatory cutscenes.

yes

stop being such a fucking loser and letting the presentation of others dictate your opinion

>are they all reddit slop
Yes
>are there any worth playing
It varies
>BL1
Absolutely not worthy playing. It's a rusty old piece of shit and all the enemies are just boring as fuck chase AI goobers, with all the guns intentionally feeling like shit until like 3/4ths of the way through your first playthrough
>BL2
Generally the most recommendable. It definitely still shows its age, but it's got a huge leap in enemy design over the first game, and it's the one that really has the meat on the bone in regards to the whole looter shooter conceit of re-running and grinding to get better shit and engage with the mechanics more
>TPS
Aside from the tutorial section at the very beginning of the moon, which is so insufferable that it's filtered millions, it is incredibly solid. The story and dialogue is infinitely more tolerable, the playable characters are some of the best in the franchise, new mechanics like lasers and the hover kits are great, and the level design for actual firefight areas is fantastic. Only real point to knock off is that it's definitely not designed to do NG+ like the rest, which is a core part of the franchise for the more regular fans
>BL3
Great as an actual shooter, generally more bearable than 2 by virtue of dialogue being boring instead of being obnoxious cringe, but it's way way way way way too easy. There's no difficulty at all, and legendaries drop like candy, so it's hard to really enjoy the shooting.
>TTWL
Absolutely fantastic. Honestly my personal favorite in the series. The side level design is amazing and the areas are fleshed out, the combat is great, the game is still super easy but takes a bit longer to be braindead, it has a way better pacing for handing out legendaries, and while the story and writing is still cringe, it's a different kind of cringe. Like it's truly your average DnD tabletop group for characters, for better and worse

It's only held back by a glaring flaw of no NG+ and no real DLC
>>
The first Borderlands is my favourite. Borderlands 2 has godawful writing, but is a better game on balance. TPS is fucking unbearable: digital AIDS, I muted it halfway through, then just uninstalled.
By all accounts, the series dis not get any better.
Played the BL2 dlc from 2019, and the writing was no better. Zombie franchise.
>>
It pisses me off nobody has made a Borderlands clone, like ever
>>
>>750671252
godawful take, especially on BL1
>>
>>750671625
Oddly the clones are all roguelites; Gunfire Reborn, Roboquest, Mycopunk... You'd think "FPS Diablo" would be a slam dunk but it's also hard to think of how you'd actually structure and balance it but not be what Borderlands has already done. First person has a lot less variety in the types of player attacks/abilities are useful and the limited perspective is a hard constraint on the number of mooks you can have the player fight at once.
>>
>>750668068
Stick with the original. The others are walk-n-talk simulators.
>>
Reddit has a use. Or had before AI. You have some issue with your computer you can search it up. You don't post on reddit. You just look for answers there.

Borderlands is the same. You don't play the game like you would. You install a skip dialogue mod. You lower voice and music volume to 0. You open something in your second monitor and then you mindlessly shoot things and loot new guns.
>>
I found 1 to be good, and 2 to be fun despite the shit humour in 2.
No idea about prequel.
3's humour was actually so fucking bad I stopped playing within an hour or two.
Never even looked at 4.
>>
Borderlands turning into steaming hot dogshit is karma for what they did to Rhys and Vaughn in 3 and 2’s dlc
>>
>>750673978
I played a bit of 4 in the free weekend. It's honestly not terrible but it lacks confidence, for lack of a better word. It doesn't think the characters are interesting or the jokes are funny so nothing is given space.
>>
>>750668068
1.ye
2.ye

bl1 is good for atmosphere, hearing the footsteps and heavy breathing as you run across the dust with the slow tunez is very comfy.

bl2 has decent enemies and weapon types/variety etc, it also has gaige who is best girl. Has decent DLCs

bltps is is alright, personally i do like the oz kit slams its funny to spam it, also makes vertical traversal more enjoyable when you get extra height, cryo and laser weapons are good, and I think the narrative around the og vault hunters and jack is actually interesting, esp as the story is told as memories in the present day.

bl3 has smoother movement with mantling and sliding, way too many legendaries it feels super unconfident so it overdoes it. I fucking hate the main story and the characters (death to ava fuck that bitch). BUT, the major DLCs have a great story, especially the krieg one. Even the gay one is leagues better than the main game story. also fuck ava

havent touched bl4

No

I'm glad I'm not the only Wonderlands appreciator here. I absolutely adored what that game did to the Borderlands formula. I wish it got more DLC.
>>
great co-op fun, don't care what /v/ says

what does bother me is PC requirement bloat. BL3 looks undistinguishable graphics-wise to its predecessors yet my PC can't run it

I played 1, 2, TPS, and 3 back to back this year and enjoyed doing it (except TPS fuck that). I'd call 1,2, and 3 worth it.
1 is clunky and clumsy but still works. Still has the best atmosphere even if the sequels abandoned it. Only the claptrap and knox DLCs are worth bothering.
2 is still the best of the lot. The cringe starts here but the entire game is still solid. Not really hard to believe they couldn't top it.
The pre-sequel was fucking lame. Of all the games it's the one that knows how to waste your time the most. Lasers and jetpacks were cool but the dialogue, the time-wasting, and the voices were horrible and it's more cringy than even 3.
3 has the worst story, it's not remotely funny, the visuals are all fucked up, the dialogue is uniformly ass, and all of that is extremely easily ignored by how fun the gameplay is especially when you get to pilot a 40k dreadnought.

Didn't play Wonderlands or 4. If 3 was barely recognizable 4 departed the series. Wonderlands was probably fun too but I'd just played 4 BL games and tapped out.

They're all junky garbage. But they're all at least somewhat fun. BL3 may have the most annoying fucking villians but it also has Moze.
>>
>>750671252
Pretty much same. I don't find BL2 that cringe tho, while BL3 dialogue & characters infinitely more terrible, borderline insulting. Only enjoyed Zane and some DLC parts.

I didn't understand who green-lit a dlc where you go to a desert planet to kill bandits in BORDERLANDS.
Fuck Ava. Laughing forever at her getting written out.
>>
they are pretty reddit, yea, but borderlands 2 is a must-have couch co-op game imo. haven't really played the others

not sure how invested i would be playing solo though
>>
How's the BL2/TPS mod
>>
>>750682557
BL2 by itself is fine but once you start the dlc the cringe starts leaking in. Luckily Tina and Torgue basically aren't in 3.
>>
>>750668068
Pre sequel wasnt terrible, everuthing after it was.
>>
>>750682939
That's fair, they leaned to much into the meme
>>
>>750668068
They dialouge and jokes are very dated
>>
>>750668068
The first one was great, but even it stole it's artstyle from an animated film (forget the name.)

Past that, I can't think of anything wrong with Borderlands 1. Pretty chill OST, too. https://youtu.be/WZo9tFWzCMk?is=4mriQEw5V-He6dcG
>>
>>750683268
2 started to lose steam in its own game but at least it kept calling them midgets throughout. 3 white-washing it with whatever adjective was a pretty big indicator they'd dropped the ball.
>>
>>750683363
I feel like it's just one of those things where it's not worth getting a bunch of angry letters from mjdgwhen you know nobody is going to care for changing the name

I liked how in 1 even once you start going to the areas with more greenery and wildlife they were still disgusting polluted dumps. It made the juxtaposition with 2's actual environments much better.
>>
>>750683482
I do think you're right but, when I think of how unfunny 3 was that's the detail that sticks out the most since it comes up just about every fight.

As unfunny as 3 was that one joke Tannis drops on Necrodefeyo was absolutely hilarious to the point I started telling it to my family and friends.
>>
First one was uncut rough diamond kino. Every other game to follow is redditslop.
>>
>>750683708
Correct. As good and concise a description of the series as you're likely to find.
>>
the only one thats bad is 3
>>
3's attempt to make the story into some big expansive universe was the worst thing about it. Like instantly the cracks start appearing and you can't let yourself notice things or else it stops working. I ended up noticing it with Moxxi mostly. She was just some bar whore on Pandora, part of the space western shtick but apparently she slept her way through the galaxy, owns bars on random planets and has connections up the ass and she's still just some bar whore on Pandora? Same thing with Marcus too, what's the guy who owns the galaxy-wide gun machine trade doing driving tourists around on a bus?
Where the FUCK was Dr. Zed?

Faggot.

>>750682883
I thought that wasn't done yet? Looked neat, though ironically I'm more interested in BL2 characters in TPS than the other way around.
>>
>>750684940
Yeah, Mordecai should be D.
>>
>>750668068
>turn dialogue volume to 0
>turn subtitles off
You're welcome. You can and should do this with EVERY video game by the way because not one video game has a good story or writing, not ONE. Any game you do it to will add a point out of ten at least, so a 5/10 becomes a 6/10 and so forth.

Outlaws by LucasArts has a pretty cool story. You get to kill a Jew, a Navajo, a black, a Mexican, and their associates.
>>
I really didn't like 4. The vault hunters felt like they had zero sauce and it's actively hindered by the open world. You could tell me that game was AI generated with how odd it seemed at times and how it would clash with itself and I'd believe you.
>>
>>750668068
Shut your brain off, grab some beer, friends and pizza. You'll enjoy it

Bad skill trees from bl1 + one action skill. Tresspass is cool though.

>>750685317
Too squishy, you can do an almost perfect run, do a shit deception/miss your shot once and you're screwed.

FL4K is Zer0 on easy mode while being way more fun to play, 4 action skills instead of one and better skill trees.
>>
Is BL4 worth playing after they added that new pornbait character in the dlc??
>>
Rate my Vault Hunter choice:
>Mordecai
>Zer0
>Athena
>Zane
>Rafa

I didn't play wondermeme.
>>
>>750685681
Here is the thing.

Movement/combat wise is the best Borderlands game. Skill trees are even better than in 3, all vault hunters are strong and viable (C4sh is giga busted though, definitely the Moze/Zane/Salvador of this game). Main story is better written than 3's. Endgame you have 2 raid bosses and 1 takedown + 7 UVHM leveld, so its solid. And loveless is hot, yes.

But DLC and events are not as good as 2's or 3's, guns are a step down from 3 (still great, but noticiable step back), music is dogshit compared to previous games, open world is worse than instanced zones, DLC has been disappointing besides the last FL4K one (mad ellie is fine, the others feel like headhunter packs).

I would say wait for at least 70-80% discount
>>
whichever vault hunter in their respective game lets me load tons of bonus damage into the first shot in a clip and reload faster
>>
>>750685681
Loveless? More like Pornless lol
>>
>>750685906
surprised you didn't play Aurelia

Purple torgue shotgun my beloved...
>>
>>750671625
the Destiny franchise?
>>
>>750683653
Not to mention midge abuse has been a staple of low-brow humor for fucking ever. Hiding it is just wrong.
Rather than veering away from it, all they had to do was add some shit that shows some of them are actually large and in charge and hammering ass even if most of them are still getting smacked around and used as grots
>>
>>750688565
>1556156165x18
I fucking hate BL2s exponential scaling.
What if you find a shotgun that does 1556156166x18 damage but with a magazine size of 7? Do you swap it out? Where do you draw the line?
