negative opinions about popular video game
I really don't understand the excitement around Borderlands 3? I found 1 and 2 to be dreadfully tedious and dull. The novelty wears off soooo quickly.
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@noiob the problem I found is that it had all of the strappings of Diablo 2 with HORRIBLE pacing and very little sense of power creep (something that makes these kinds of loot grinds feel good in general)
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@noiob it doesn't really respect the player's time at all and it feels like, well, I could be playing another _better_ shooter that doesn't have ARPG elements
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom true
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom also explains why I like Destiny 2
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@noiob oh god, yeah. destiny 2 gets everything right that borderlands gets wrong.
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom yeah, like there's tons of guns but at least the good ones all feel different and your abilities actually feel powerful
and also you can just run through the story if you wanna see it and level quickly
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom i've played like over 100 hours of both games and yeah theyf ucking suck so much that I literally fell asleep during borderlands 2's campaign, which was the point I realized that I should just stop playing
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom i don't know how it took like 200 hours and literally falling asleep to figure that out but. yeah. I like a lot of the story elements and stuff but the games are just not fun at all
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@marrub i put almost 300 hours into guild wars 2 at launch and i hated most of the time i spent at the postgame and realized i didn't care when they started making fun new content only last for weeks at a time
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom I had a really good time with 2 and TPS with a group of friends, but the first was a SLOG. It really improves with a group of other people.
re: negative opinions about popular video game
@shaderphantom I only played 2 and I played about 50 hrs of it but at that point I was just bored of it? Like gee I get to sort through another fifty weapons and shoot hundreds of mobs for a few minutes of story
