Board 8 > So since Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is gonna be cross-platform, who's getting it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember having to ditch the Xbox BL crew in BL2 to join the PS3 crew, but then it seemed like no one played BL3 so I kinda didn't bother playing much of that.

But being able to play with b8ers again regardless of system or PC I might end up picking this up.

The answer is no one, probably correctly.

Ill probably get it later but I never finished Pre-Sequel or 3 so its hard to justify buying this one at launch

I played BL2 with my brother and we are super hyped for it given how good tiny Tinas assault on dragon keep was.

I think this is the most Ive wanted a game to be good in a while, but Im still waiting on reviews.

Honestly what excites me about this one is Im intrigued by the gameplay differences of not just using guns all the time. 3 felt like more borderlands 2 but not as good to me. Im hoping for something a little more different and wacky

seems like a good game to get

when its $20

Ugliest female video game character ever.

I will probably get it eventually. In no rush to do it now, though. Still havent gotten around to BL3 which I heard was not great.

Same here. I love the first two games, but it sounds like BL3 took a nosedive in terms of writing quality (apparently the villains are parodies of social media influencers or something? Even if I do get to eventually shoot them in the face, it still means putting up with them for a whole game and comparing them to Handsome Jack).

PC version is at 80 so far on MC. People seem to comment that the writing seems better than BL3.

The first I'd heard of it was this morning. I'm certainly considering it...and I never get games when they first come out.

Pre ordered it.

BL3 sucked, so Im pretty excited the writing is better.

Going to pick this up today not sure if I'll play this or Kirby first.

Picked up my copy and installing it now.

So what I've played so far...

This is way better than Borderlands 3. The little gameplay tweaks, the setting, the writing and humor. Not sure if Will Arnett will work as the big bad, but you really can't top Handsome Jack so you're kinda screwed either way.

My copy arrived yesterday, but been busy watching basketball

its on my list but the bottom of it for 2022 games to get, I am thinking it will be 50% off by summer and maybe by then I have finished Kirby, Lego Star Wars, Chrono Cross, Disgaea 6 etc etc etc

Eventually Ill grab it. Got too much to play as it is at the moment

Bad news, though. Grenades have been replaced by cooldown magic. We can't throw all the grenades anymore.

Another thing that's cool is that the enemy types you face are scaled to each player individually, so if you join someone with a level 25 character and you're level 5, you still fight level 5 enemies while they're fighting level 25.

sooo is the online just literally unusable right now?

According to shift twitter its in maintenance

"She's trying to make you listen to exposition. Shoot her in the face."

Dropped this game already, played about 8 hours.

Had a pretty fun tone, to begin with at least. I liked the setting with Tiny Tina playing this D&D game, and Andy Samberg and Will Arnett's characters fit right in. Kinda felt like the Lego Movie. Wanda Sykes doesn't seem to know where she is but it works I guess. I don't think this "satire story" really has legs to go the distances though. It starts fairly strong for me but it started puttering out and repeating the same kind of humour and jokes over and over. The sidequests weren't very entertaining and fairly time consuming. Felt like the writers thought they were funnier than they actually were. Maybe it'll find some emotional core and finish strong but i don't think there's enough meat here for the whole journey.

The reason I played this game is that my buddy is a huge Borderlands fan and Assault on Dragon Keep is his favourite piece of all Borderlands content, so he was hype for this. But he seemed really put off with the story here - it's all a joke that doesn't matter. The two side characters are just pure comic relief without being "real characters". It's kinda funny because the way he described Assault on Dragon Keep, I pictured it being exactly how this game turned out, so I didn't feel bait and switched on that. He did though. I guess that DLC took itself a bit more seriously than this did.

Online play were absolutely horrible night of launch and during first day - literally not playable. Once they fixed it though, didn't have an issue playing coop at all.

Hidden items like dice means I have to take even longer going through the zones to check behind every corner and jump up every possible ledge. I've been told yellow paint indicates if something is something you should try jumping on this but I didn't know that, so it just had to try jumping up on everything and looking anywhere "just in case". Don't really like it when games make me feel that way. Spent a ton of time searching the hub city and I don't think it was worth it or satisfying.

Guns feel really bad. There was really no gun I ever picked up and was like "this is sick" but there were a lot of guns I where I thought "this is awful." I felt I had to look at and try every gun I picked up in hopes of finding something cool and useful but I was usually disappointed. Lots of effort and time spent there just to feel bad.

Something really annoying happened with the character customizer in the hub city - there's "preset options" that you can select, and if you do it - it removes all your custom choices. You can't just revert. So even trying that option means you'll have to redo your character from scratch if you don't want to use a preset. Really inexcusable problem created there for no reason. Even if I wanted to play the game more, I'd never touch that thing again.

The overworld is cute and potentially fills in the game with fun things today. However, most fighting is done in "Random encounter areas" which are just copy paste zones with a set amount of enemies to kill and then the encounter ends and can teleport back out. So we are just doing rifts in every game now, I guess. Made a lot of this games areas feel boring and uninspired. There was one really cool forest but besides that, it felt repetitive.

What ultimately caused me to quit was getting to a main story quest zone that required level 17 but I was only level 12. I had just been thinking to myself "it's cool there's all these little extra areas on the for people enjoying this game to go do if they want, I don't think I'm gonna go through all that though, I'm just gonna blast through the main story and call it a day". But then the game literally said "sorry, you need to be level 17 to progress the story, why don't you go back down the hill and do some random encounters for awhile!". So I closed the game.

5/10

I found one of the hidden items, said nifty, and went about my day figuring I'll go back and get them later if ever.

Being a completionist in this sort of game sounds miserable.

I played a couple hours with my spouse and son. Had a good time. Looking forward to playing more. It matched the tone I remember of Dragons Keep and I got a shotgun that shoots a wave of ice and it's sweet.

Yeah, I could imagine this sucking really badly. I'm personally pretty happy with the main guns I've used so far.
