Still is. So is BL1.

So, there's still people who think randos dropping a pile of purple guns is "bad" instead of "awesome"?

Hacking isn't a big deal when it isn't MMO or competitive.

It's fun on additional runs for shits and giggles, but it kind of negates the entire point in playing the game in the first place, for your first run particularly. It'd basically be like dark souls or sekiro with a very easy mode.

If someone wants to drop legit items thats fine but i remember that at least the first game had problems with edited/hacked items.

So no one knows if this will be client base or not?

So play with friends or friend people that don't do that. You could do solo, as well.

You are not obligated to pick up any of those purple guns some rando littered all over the place.

CE literally condoning hacking.

he's right.

I've been playing 2 with my gf and I feel like we're on the edge of cheating ourselves out of an experience by using the box in Sanctuary, but it's also been a better experience because the loot drops in this game are fucking awful. I wouldn't mind a few hacked guns every once in a while lol
---

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.

You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.

You experienced a hollow victory.
Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.

It's sad that you don't know the difference.

Oh, I know difference. I just don't care.

Video games are toys.
Toys are meant for fun and amusement.
It's none of your concern how another kid plays with his toys.

It's illegal, bro.

Borderlands solo is boring as piss, I don't habe Playstation plus, nor want it, and I don't have gaming friends anymore.

GS was a legally sold third party item. Hacks from programmers on evil websites are illegal.

Cheat engine isn't illegal. If you understand grade school level hex editing, you can work it. Or plug a trainer program into it if you're lazy and want Trojans.

they would be dumb not to do it server side if they have any intention of keeping the game's community alive longer than the other games. They'll obviously have a bunch of DLC to sell so they'll want people to stick around.

let people play offline only too and hack all they want though if they want to play solo or with friends

Willowtree did nothing wrong.

It's 2k. It's going to have extensive monetization in some fashion.

I doubt it'll be anything more than skins like the first 3 games

people would be pissed if they put guns behind a paywall. and we would have heard about it by now

Not guns behind a paywall.

Remember the keys in borderlands 2 for the special chest in the city?

Think that way. It's basically lootboxes but with a different costume. They've already said that kind of thing will return.

You could also use cheat engine to get infinite amounts of them if you really wanted lol.

But they're going to be a monetized thing in bl3.

2k does not fuck around when it comes to monetization.
