BORDERLANDS - like Fallout 3 but with cars and MAXIMUM PWNAGE OMGWTFLOLNEWB FPS combat

jjjusten, EZSnappin, and I can confirm that yes, it was a goddamned blast

my one attempt at playing this in multiplayer was splitscreen couch co-op and was prematurely halted when my buddy and i realised we were too stoned to find our way out of a shipping crate seconds after meeting claptrap for the first time

That's the kind of multiplayer action I'm looking for tbrr.

got BL3 recently it's a fun drunk shooter imo

bummed multiplayer is platform-specific -- i'm OSX/Steam or I'd be happy to do a run w/you

Yeah, I'm still on a PS3 so the sum total of my intentional (as opposed to reluctantly going in and getting owned by mod-happy 13-year-olds) online multiplayer experience was the six-month window between when I bought GTA5 and when my brother sadly upgraded to a PS4.

So yeah, I finally just passed the point with my siren where I had gotten stuck and two-hit killed a dozen times over with my stupid useless assassin and, lo and behold, it just happened to be the point where the game opens like a flower and throws out like a dozen different side missions all at once. Turns out this shit is super fun (if, at times, still super hard and frustrating) when your wrists and ankles aren't zip-tied together.

just be sure not to accept all the missions at once! this was my big mistake on first playthrough - the missions and rewards are all scaled to your level when you accept, so you wanna just take a couple at a time, otherwise you'll level up past the gear you're getting, things will get way too easy, and then be way too hard again when you hit the next big batch of missions.

that and i didn't know there were "run" and "pick up but don't equip" buttons until like twelve hours in

Oh. Huh. Thanks for the tip, Dr. C. Yeah, in my excitement I ran around like an idiot taking orders from anyone who wanted me to fetch them some shit. Whoops.

don't worry, your game's not ruined! there will be many more of these "flower" moments.

I don't agree? When you finish the story, any side missions you've started are autoscaled to your current level. There's no real downside to having started them already other than avoiding visual clutter in the missions screen, but to me that's better than having to navigate deep into a level just to start a side mission you skipped.

huh maybe i never got it right then, or maybe i wasn't keeping good track of story vs side missions or sth..... i remember posting abt this at the time and it made sense to me then....

"Eli Roth is set to direct a feature take on the 2K game Borderlands for Lionsgate"

sure why not

Something about Borderlands 3 doesn't feel Borderlandsy to me. Slightly different perspectives or higher movement sensitivity or something. It wasn't as easy to just jump back in like all the previous ones.

hmm for me it feels like borderlands greatest hits. not engrossing but a fun place to visit.

Played a bit of this last night and actually enjoyed it a bit?
