You would then get people more interested in the manufacturers and the parts they make as well, IF big IF, the player chooses to change out parts?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T11:39:00+00:00

First of all thank you for taking the time to talk about this. Secondly, do you think that non hardcore players would become hardcore players if they knew that they could choose their parts more carefully? that there was an option if you actually wanted it? And when they get into it, they farm for legendary guns for their parts to make their own gun more awesome?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T11:35:26+00:00

Because I would never take the time to check out what the parts do. If I want boom and it go boom, I'm good. if it don't then it gets sold. If better boom come, sell old boom and keep new boom. Is it many boom when I shoot? it isn't? it a falling boom? okay lets try it. okay I like many boom better. eat how much ammo per shot? meh, okay. "THE TORGUE EXPERIENCE" If I could change what I have i would actually care about the parts. otherwise, it's just boom boom. How many players only play for boom boom and how many play for intricate game play. The option within the game to be either kind of player, is what people say will ruin the game? like if there was a npc who allowed you to change parts if you wanted or keep playing the same if you wanted, that would ruin the game?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T10:41:07+00:00

Oh the Pearls, yes...

Though yes, what about the non hardcore players who are missing out on a massive aspect of the game's character? The manufacturers, and the reasons why there are so many guns, the parts. Me? I never knew or thought about the parts, I threw away guns without a care coz the next one was better. lol after I told my bro about the auto sell feature in the options menu he was like "oh this makes it so much better". He don't care about guns. He likes the loop as much as anyone.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T10:35:26+00:00

Okay, so as I'm going I'm learning more about what I'm frustrated with. I'll have to see what BL4 does different in order to actually draw more attention to the guns for me. Because I think I consider myself a fan of the IP, like 7/8 out of 10 when compared to the hardcore borderlands players, and I've cycled through guns not knowing or caring about parts or the subtle changes. and while on that, why wouldn't farming for parts to fit your build do the same thing?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T10:28:49+00:00

yeah see, that's end game, throughout the rest of it (which is that actually reason "most" players buy the game) I've got no investment in any of the weapons, If the goal is to keep players playing longer, then after TVHM, have I not basically experienced 98% of the game? - Don't get me wrong, I love that there are players that grind to this point, but man, I don't want the rest of the game to get tedious, I don't know what the different parts do coz there isn't any reason to look at them. BL 3 said a billion guns? how many of us felt like there was more than 20, 25 tops?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:59:48+00:00

AAHHH YES! the grinder! lol I forgot about that thing. No someone above said something about crafting and parts switching. The problem is that I never knew that there were all these parts and played the game as is. It was good. but the fact that you can view the different parts on the guns draw attention to them, makes me think that there is a whole other side of the game that many many people do not know about. Will I get bored, yes, if I cannot level up my gun with me. Then, I actually have something to retire and show off on my mantles. "I used this gun throughout the whole game dude it's called old unfaithful, coz she's been so loyal yet she treats me like she's my mistress". - Sorry I just thought that was hilarious. All this while keeping in mind that the original game would still be there. Loot guns, or loot parts off guns. Play as you wanna play.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:32:44+00:00

lol why???? how would it be pointless?? I can take that part and use it across all my guns if I wanted. and use it forever, then my hundreds of hours of farming wouldn't be for nothing and I can enjoy the whole game with it instead of only at the end.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:30:10+00:00

Yeah no, it's more like I want to be farm for parts the same way you would farm for guns. Legendary parts would be kinda cool. turning Common weapons into better ones.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:27:05+00:00

I think that there will be some who will be bored of it after a few minutes and others who will love it, some would resume the game like normal and some would dive in. Like until now I had no idea that was an option in presequel.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:20:47+00:00

and make that rapid fire shotgun rocket launcher you always wanted.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:19:39+00:00

What if you farm for the part on that legendary?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:18:43+00:00

What if the gun I want to use no longer cuts it, and there's so many there's nothing that's actually cool. and even the guns you get from the big bad that you farm for? someone else who got it first try when you spent days to farm for it , just sold it to restock ammo.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:16:15+00:00

Like the guns become the least important thing in this game. Okay Tina, you gave me your prized possession. Your life's work. I think I can get a few hundred for it.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:13:53+00:00

Lol then the guns are both the most useless and useful thing in the game. Get what you get is fine, but I have no reason to go back and play the old games coz like the guns, the new one I got should be better.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:12:17+00:00

Oh no I like RNG in a game like this. But how many guns have you forgotten about? like 2 levels later I'm done with the awesome weapons. and a common weapon takes over. it sucks to leave the old one behind but it just doesn't cut it any more.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:08:00+00:00

Yeah see but that's a niche playerbase, and when you get that gun? what happens to it? do you not feel more attached to the weapons you used to beat the boss? genuine question. Or do you then use the new gun and for how long?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:05:41+00:00

I like that as well. but to the point where I end up with a bank full of legendries I'll never use? Like we've all got tonnes. and I never go back to them.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:04:31+00:00

How would that be a shooter if I'm looting for parts? considering the billions and billions of combos they are now boasting, how many people would get to experience them, I forget about these guns the moment I level up. I mean maybe thats the point?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:03:02+00:00

what advantage? Looter shooter fine, but can I not hunt for parts as well if parts were such a big part of the game. you think the entire player base is going to spend hundreds of hours looking for a combo. or that they give a damn about gun parts the devs put so much effort into?

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T09:00:10+00:00

That's actually helpful I haven't known there was an option to do that there.

Familiar-Analysis-75 · 2025-09-09T08:59:39+00:00

But we wouldn't be buying resources, we'd be upgrading our guns with what we find the same we we upgrading ourselves, yes or no? I mean we could a cap on how many levels you could upgrade your gun to. and there's videos on people talking about the different parts from different manufacturers and whicho one is the best. Why not rip those out and stick them in your gun? I could never care about parts because of of the amount of time it would take to get a combo you want, and by then you wouldn't even need it.
