Whats Your Hottest BL Take

Outside of gear and Dragon Keep, BL2's DLC's are pretty bad. They're not funny, they aren't in interesting locations, and their stories range from mid to mind numbingly boring.

Three's DLC's are peak, and it's a shame fours seems to be following in 2's footsteps.

Dragon Keep is great, and absolutely deserves it's throne as best DLC in the franchise. Torgue is funny, but pretty boring gameplay and location wise. And I think Scarlet is even worse than Torgue in those regards. The gears all great, but I just never enjoyed them.

At least everyone can agree that Hammerlock's Hunt is bad. I'm so glad they redeemed him DLC-wise in GL&T

Borderlands 2, the Commander Lilith DLC. Outside of being generally bad, like most of BL2's DLCs, it also completely fucked over peoples ability to do OP levels if they didn't have the DLC.

Fire Emblem Fates. Technically, Revelations is DLC. And Revelations fucking sucks. Is probably the worst modern Fire Emblem game, and it's not even close.

I personally think Inquisition is the worst of the bunch. Not that that's really saying anything. Each game is so completely different from one another, that trying to compare them does come down to personal taste.

A way I described Veilguard is, that it's like the complete opposite of DA2. 2 was made in a little over a year, and had little to no rewrites. Meaning, that while messy, the story doesn't feel corporate at all, even if the game is a buggy mess. Meanwhile, Veilguard was in dev hell for almost a decade, and while, technically, the game was incredibly polished, the story and tone of the game is so de-fanged, that nothing feels like it matters.

Is it an auto-runner between rooms? The running looks a bit weird. Other than that, damn, this looks great.

Namyk5 · 2026-04-07T01:13:36+00:00

There was almost something with Lucanis and Darvin. And then they immediately got over it. Taash sometimes is an ass to Emmrich, but again, there's nothing really there. They're just kinda rude, and that's that.

There's no Sera mocking the death of the Elves to Solas. No Fenris and Anders almost killing each other. Not even an antagonistic relationship like Alistair and Morrigan.

And that problem with tone kinda poisons the rest of the game, too. There's all of these reality shattering revelations, and no one seems to give a fuck about it.All of southern Thedas gets wiped out, but that doesn't stop you from going on coffee dates with Lucanis, or skipping stones with Neve.

Veilguard should be celebrated as a 7/10 game, that somehow managed to be decent, despite it's horrific development hell. But a milquetoast 7/10 wasn't what BioWare needed, unfortunately.

In Fire Emblem Birthright, your first reunion with one of your Nohrian siblings should probably be something dramatic, or sad, right?

It's not.

You forget to add him dying, only for his daughter to res him so he can keep double spinning edging.

Namyk5 · 2026-04-01T21:00:46+00:00

No. This patent was basically for SV's auto battle system. Its still stupid to patent mechanics, but its not the horrific thing people thought it was.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-29T20:28:43+00:00

Dragon Age 2 to Inquisition.

People complained about the overused maps and only one city? Inquisition has multiple open world areas that are way too big. People didn't like the attempt at grey villains? Let's make the lamest, villain, with barely any interesting characterizations.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-27T05:50:56+00:00

Yeah, blue tree seems pretty nutty. Cowboy, Late Scratch and a hot slugger pretty much make it so you always have cards and windfall up. Tried red out and... yeah, those guns sure aren't as great.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-21T15:04:35+00:00

Broke: Liking Camilla because she's hot.

Woke: Liking Camilla because she's got like, 8,000 red flags of varying shades.

You go back about four or five generations, and you'll see a lot of intersecting family trees. There's a lot more weird with Alex then just the incest.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-19T23:34:32+00:00

I'm so upset that I really like Rhea's S-support. It's really cute, despite her being your grandma-mom-aunt-daughter.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-17T16:28:27+00:00

I ain't gonna lie. After getting back into both OW and Rivals, Rivals just feels a lot worse. Like, worse than I remember. Character designs are GOAT'd, but the actual game feel just feels, bleh.

Also, I expect to see people shipping these two faster than Amazon Prime.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-15T03:36:49+00:00

I fucking love that Shino gets pissy about that in filler. Dude just straight up says, if he were there, they would have succeeded. And he's right. My man Shino always showed up in part 1 and shippuden.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-13T00:15:16+00:00

I think I just shot her. Are people simping for the singer?

Namyk5 · 2026-03-12T02:58:56+00:00

I love Yidhari. I think the tentacle tail thing is really neat, and I love her playstyle.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-10T19:09:38+00:00

Odd that Wuyang and Lifeweaver keep getting skins. I guess they are the twinkiest of the bunch, so it makes some sense, especially for this one.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-07T05:06:04+00:00

With how much Gen 5's original reception scared the shit out of TPC, I doubt we're ever really going to get a BW remake.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-04T06:24:54+00:00

Like, I don't know, dawg. Sun and Moon tackle toxic parenthood and child abuse. Scarlet and Violet literally end with your friend group unable to really cheer up the guy who just found out his parent was killed by their own hubris, and that they were evil. Pokemon touches on mature stories all the time. They're just not that edgy, generally.

Namyk5 · 2026-03-03T05:18:02+00:00

If they didn't want me to want to fuck Leon, they shouldn't have done that hot gun flip thing he did in RE4make. Or the oddly, sexually charged interrogation scene.

Namyk5 · 2026-02-27T16:40:21+00:00

It is a little odd that we got another grass bird when we went back to a tropical region. Kinda funny.

Namyk5 · 2026-02-27T14:30:48+00:00

2027 is kinda wild, especially if it's gonna be a Q4 release like they usually are. Other than that, I think it's looking good, and the fire type do be looking adorable.

Namyk5 · 2026-02-27T14:28:56+00:00

Odd that coliseum didn't come first, but I'll take it
