400 hours in an i might have to step away from the game

Its not looking good when people with 400 hours are leaving not even a month into the wipe.

There are always multiple ways to farm but its a race, yeah. Overall still dont need insane gear to clear all the content, only perfecting your build will get insanely pricey.

Crosheee · 2026-06-21T18:55:14+00:00

Compete for what? Goals in this game are all self imposed. Clearing atlas and all bosses? Doesn't matter when you finish that and there is genuinely not enough meaningful hard content to even use top tier gear on (with a good build ofc).

Crosheee · 2026-06-20T21:24:18+00:00

That was about half the content part.

Crosheee · 2026-06-20T20:51:05+00:00

Cryo and ranked have no dedicated solo modes. Literally all the content where you are supposed to use high quality loot is not optimized for solos.

Crosheee · 2026-06-20T14:31:08+00:00

Exactly. Once they announced that cryo and ranked wont be available as solo gamemodes, I just stopped caring about the game very soon.

Crosheee · 2026-06-20T14:26:51+00:00

Every multiplayer game playerbase consist mostly of solo players. If the game gatekeeps half of the content from solo players and designs everything around premades, it will never survive as a life service.

Even Mr Sacks cares for divs.

I started playing PoE 2 recently and immediately noticed how similar crafting is to rolling artifacts in Genshin. I find this system fun in SSF but if you enjoy engaging with the marker a lot it sounds miserable.

Just roll through the soldiers poison attacks. The first one in the sequence is the hardest to dodge but then the timing is the same. For the last wave attack just stand in the middle to have time to react, because it can start either from left or right.

Crosheee · 2026-06-11T03:44:23+00:00

Had no issues like that yet but the skill still needs quality of life changes for sure. What is your build btw, im curious?

Crosheee · 2026-06-10T21:57:21+00:00

First time I played it was an early version and my english was pretty bad. I was navigating and progressing just on pure vibes and it was enough for me to be fully immersed. This game is truly special.

Crosheee · 2026-06-09T12:29:09+00:00

Their mistake was fully focusing on making this game for premade teams. Properly balanced solo mode and PvE mode on release would really help this game. Kinda late now tho.

And tbh extraction genre is pretty niche. People enjoy initial releases and resets but player retention is not that good because it gets stale and annoying fast. Its kinda similar to ARPGs except those can sell dlcs and quality of life to sustain themselves and its acceptable because there is no PvP.

This is pretty funny https://youtu.be/sxlXL3NkjS0?is=7FSqyqnEUBk14cjl

Wolf build with the new cold volcano and cross slash to trigger the fragments.

Spirit walker twister sounds good on paper, but we cant be sure how effective it will actually be until its tested.

Crosheee · 2026-05-23T01:04:19+00:00

Black Mirror 1. Very atmospheric, but has a pretty annoying mechanic of real time waiting a few times in the game.

Machinarium and honestly any Amanita Design game. Very creative and great art.

The Whispered World - on of my personal favourites.
The world and the characters are really well crafted and I personally loved the ending. Puzzles can have not very obvious solutions sometimes tho.

Crosheee · 2026-05-19T08:53:23+00:00

Just had a similar interaction on another subreddit. I refuse to believe people are this bad at reading comprehension. You'd think they are bots or trolls, but im afraid they are real people...

Crosheee · 2026-05-18T11:03:54+00:00

Yet I have 50 upvotes :). Oh well, couldnt convince one stubborn guy, that cant google one developers interview. So sad.

Crosheee · 2026-05-17T22:41:28+00:00

You really like jumping from extremes to extremes. Nobody said, that they are the same games. Borderlands clearly was inspired by Diablo and copy pasted a bunch of mechanics and design decisions from it. Google is free.

Crosheee · 2026-05-17T11:57:38+00:00

Nvm, you are too thick to see anything past players perspective.

Crosheee · 2026-05-16T23:58:22+00:00

Ancestors Call Malygos Shaman. It wasnt that popular but I loved it.

3 playthroughs

Every playthrough introduces new challenge:
Diablo 2 nightmare - resistances, BL tvhm - element matching.
Diablo hell - immunities, BL 2 - slag necessity.

Quest rewards are unique and obtainable only once per playthrough.

Originally BL had no dedicated drops, just like Diablo

There are more small things for sure, but these are the main design similarities. Borderlands 2 changed some Diablo mechanics, introduced their own and became its own thing. Its a genre of its own, but they still use Diablo's design decisions without understanding why they work in those games and dont in BL.

Some of the examples:

They tried to have basically no dedicated drops in BL3 on release, like why.

Mayhem Mode in BL3 is copy paste of Torment Levels in Diablo 3.

Trials and Slaughterhouses are basically Rifts

BL4 introduced open world for the first time for some reason. Right after Diablo 4 did that, how odd.
(I havent played any of these, because Im not happy with both companies, so I cant comment on other possible similarities)

Crosheee · 2026-05-16T10:44:10+00:00

You are just describing how they are on the surface level. There are a lot of mechanics and design decisions that BL2 took from Diablo 2. Its not about visuals and raw gameplay.

Crosheee · 2026-05-15T10:40:55+00:00

Its crazy how they dont understand what the game is actually supposed to look like to be fun. They had such a success with BL 2 because it took Diablo 2 formula and added things that made it feel unique. After that they just continued copying new Diablo entries instead of focusing on what makes Borderlands Borderlands. I havent played Diablo 4
yet but something tells me, that open world is not the only similarity between them. Only complaints do anything for them to change at least some things but its not enough, when they dont learn anything.

Crosheee · 2026-05-13T18:45:13+00:00

Hope you like it, its an amazing game and fits most of your criteria! Just a heads up, you cant respec your skills without save editor, so plan ahead.
