Borderlands 2 was awesome but also frustrating as a solo player because the maps were too huge and became a slog to try to fight through on a limited time crunch.

Borderlands 3 is an improvement in this respect imo, the maps are way more approachable and traversible. Yes the fighting areas are smaller in size but I feel like I can actually make progress because of that. And there are still challenging areas to fight through.

And I personally loved the art style in the game, all the worlds feel distinct and there's this absurd surreal grandiosity to everything, it just really drew me in.

I dont like feeling pandered too, especially when its such a flat, surface level hackjob. Look, everybodys gay! And everyone thats gay is like, super way more wacky! You gays are wacky right?

it feels gross and alienating and so blatantly trying to profit off my identity

I haven't had much of a problem with BL3, beat the game and did the DLCs on True Vault Hunter Mode. I get the notion that the drops seem broken, I'm on MH3 and honestly can't tell whether the guns I've been getting are useful. Been playing with a friend and it's hard to tell whether him or I am doing the heavy lifting while killing stuff.

Once you finish the story you never have to see them again if you don't need to. Just farm other bosses or play Dlcs and events
Yeah of you only beat it with one character.

Man ya'll really upset about that? They're no Handsome Jack but they had their own charm.
No, they were terrible antagonists.

Did they add a way to skip the scenes yet?

I still believe this will be a great game. But I'm waiting for a GOTY edition hoping they fix a lot of design issues, make mayhem mode not suck, and fix the performance/ bugs.

Amara the Siren is the melee character this time. Her final skill in the melee tree is basically Zer0's Execute skill (melee dash). She's more of a tank though, not a glass cannon like Zer0 was so I didn't find her as powerful or satisfying as he was.

I mean they ram it down your throat without lube so idk. Any character with a stated sexuality is gay or bi. Except so far as we know, Troy or Auralia.

Yeah the incompetent dev team finally figured out how to make cutscene skipping not break the game as if anyone ever bought that shit anyway. So you can skip cutscene now. They will never fix performance though so meh. Mayhem seems better but give it time.

i enjoy the game. i understand the concerns with some of the problems and the main story wasnt amazing (though i did like the dlc stories)

but i really enjoy the variety in the different worlds and love the music in game. im also not always trying to play M10 and use the best builds and the like but i do get that it stinks that the gun scaling at higher mayhem levels is pretty awful.

I dealt with the new +2 1/2 lvl cap bs every couple months but ended up bailing back in March when they announced mayhem 2.0. They were coming out with new level caps literally less than 2 months before the previous one, and the grind for weapons was so real it took about that long just to get 1 or 2 builds up to speed. Combined with the massive amount of dickriders who think gearbox can do no wrong and it got tiresome to play and follow.

IDK, I teamed up with a guy who was pure DPS as Amara and he was destroying everything.

Melee Amara isn't the strongest Amara build. And she isn't as fun as Zero, or remotely as fun as Krieg.

Well I only played Amara when the game first came out and though I did hit level 50 I didn't have powerful endgame gear so it's possible she's better now and with better gear. After I hit 50 I didn't bother trying to farm better gear and just restarted to try one of the other characters.

It's the lamest death ever. Also Axton, Gaige, Krieg, and Sal are all MIA. Athena ain't here either (if you cared). Brick, Mordecai, and Tina are basically cameos. Torgue's nowhere to be seen. Honestly, idk what they were thinking with the characters.

I'M SORRY, OKAY? I'M FUCKING SORRY I LOOKED FORWARD TO THIS GAME, WHICH MEANT IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE FUCKING TRASH BECAUSE EVERYTHING I WANT TO LIKE TURNS TO SHIT. THEN I HAVE TO FUCKING LIVE WITH SEEING HOW MUCH EVERYONE HATES THE STUFF I WANTED TO LIKE.

FUCK YOU, GEARBOX. WHY COULDN'T YOU DO IT RIGHT? WHY? FUCK YOU ASSHOLES. GIVE US A DLC THAT JUST UNDOES THE ENTIRE GAME AND LETS US FUCKING KILL AVA. AVA CAN DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE, LITERALLY THE WORST FUCKING CHARACTER IN ANY FICTIONAL MEDIA EVER.

FUCK YOU GEARBOX, FUCK YOU

Pros- Gunplay and shooting is top notch. Endgame content is fun (takedown). Every character is strong and viable

Cons- Story is absolutely abhorrent. After all these years and this is the campaign we got? Ava and calypso twins are laughable to say the least.
Game is buggy in unimaginable ways, and they always seem to break something with literally every update.

Torgue is a cameo. Gaige is in the new DLC.
