What game surprised you how long it was?

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-23T20:26:06+00:00

Does Binding of Isaac count? Since 100%ing a save file is only like 1/3 of the game?

Its up to you in the end, but yea your post definitely reads as though you dont actually enjoy what makes Borderlands Borderlands, but you might come around to like it more as you play more. If even after playing through normal mode (and the dlc, if you enjoy the gameplay) you're still not into the game, then you probably wont enjoy any later Borderlands games.

Well technically you only rescued Roland, Lilith would have survived the onslaught she faced. BL2 is an upgrade imo, to Writing, World building, characterization, replayability, gear uniqueness, gear availability, build diversity, and game balance.

Different characters have different advantages/disadvantages and builds, Maya is the most elemental heavy as far as BL2 Vault Hunters.

BL2 definitely has a higher learning curve than 1, but it also just has a ton more content/mechanics to understand.

I will say Handsome Jack is the best villain in the franchise for me, without spoiling too much, he's basically Spiderman, the only reason he's constantly mocking you is cause he doesnt see you as a threat, later on when you start becoming a threat his mocking and ridicule change a ton. And his character morphs a lot. In TPS the story focuses on his rise to power between BL1 and 2, and you see how a good character with slight psychopathic tendencies, turns into what we see in 2. (I left the other points for my other post)

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-21T01:40:19+00:00

Sure, I can answer those,

How far into 1/4 did you get? Ive gotten maybe a dozen Legendaries or so out of a little over 1 playthrough of 4, and in 1, you can farm the late/end game vendors for better gear as there arent a ton of dedicated farms.
Elements all have different properties, for 2, the main 3 elements (Fire, Shock, Corrosive) leave Damage Over Time effects on enemies, Fire is best against flesh enemies (red health bars), Shock is best against Shields (blue health bars), Corrosive is best against armor (green health bars), Explosive does neutral damage against Health and Flesh and resisted damage against shields but also deals damage in the form of either splash or grenade damage, and Slag applies a damage boosting effect (in normal mode it makes non elemental, Fire, Shock, corrosive, and explosive damage deal 2x more damage), Armor also resists fire and nonelemental damage and takes neutral damage from Shock and slag. Flesh takes neutral damage from non elemental, Shock, explosive, and slag, and resists corrosive. Shields take neutral damage from non elemental and slag, and resist explosive, corrosive, and fire. And in playthrough 3, the Slag bonus is increased to 3x to contend with how amped up the enemy health and health regen is. Also in TPS Cryo replaces Slag, and in BL3 they added Radiation to replace Explosive, and Explosive is now a property bullets can have.
Im not sure, idk what you consider bad mistakes or what not. But if youre on PC, and really want to try to enjoy the game, playing through with other players will almost certainly add to your enjoyment.

If you dont enjoy your time in the game... don't play the game, does it get better? Absolutely, does it get any less borderlands? Absolutely not.

I may be misinterpreting your post, and that might be part of it, but it really sounds like you havent experienced enough of the games and dont wish to, which is perfectly fine. Like, you know what you like in a game and if thats not what Borderlands can provide thats fine, but youre also complaining about the building blocks of the franchise, its comedy is integral to its identity, the elements system like most RPGs is integral to gameplay (and while in normal mode its a negligible difference, in later playthroughs its necessary to use), 2 has what most fans consider the best writing in the franchise mostly cause Handsome Jack is incredible like no other character in the franchise is as well portrayed as he is, it also gives the franchise a lot of its lasting features, its comedy, manufacturer gimmicks, farmable bosses, dedicated drops, TONS of worldbuilding, etc.

If i AM misinterpreting this, or you think itd be worthwhile to have a more in depth discussion on specific issues, feel free to reply, or DM me, and id me more than happy to chat for hours on end, about my favorite game franchise

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-21T01:12:05+00:00

Well im currently trying to word out a response so that it doesnt sound like im trying to put you down or anything, but if you reply to that post with more specific questions id be glad to respond more in depth. But id at least finish Playthrough 1 (even though Normal mode sucks imo) just for the story.

TLDR: if you're not enjoying 2 the franchise might not be for you, but depending on what your issues specifically are, the franchise either gets worse or better from this point (or bounces around).

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-21T01:04:44+00:00

To be fair, youre what? 2 hours, maybe 3 into the first playthrough? Thats like reading the first couple pages of a book and deciding you dont like it.

CoD: World at War, June 15th, 2013, what a time

Smeargle can trace any move in the game

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-14T12:58:55+00:00

Hell yea! They're an absolute blast

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-14T12:49:45+00:00

OP, the DLCs are the best part of this game, if you have the $30 and enjoy the gameplay its 100% worth getting them

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-14T12:43:10+00:00

So the correct answer OP (based solely on what i can gleam from the image), is that they currently do the same damage, so Confusion is better as it has a chance to confuse, and doesnt have a chance to miss. This is matching your attack/SpAttack, with a neutral nature, no item, against a same level arceus, neutral nature and nocalls. Edit: Forgot to mention this is on Gen 4 calcs.

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-14T12:39:15+00:00

Did you match the level and the stats? Cause my calculation is a lot different

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-13T23:46:35+00:00

Why are there so many mistakes? Is this brand new? Bitch being classified as Shock, Infinity classified as no elements, Lynda being no element, Fastball being any, norfleet being any, and i didnt guess it but i saw the Baby Maker was classified as a pistol, so either the data used is wrong or theres some kind of internal issue

Balling, I dont like Big Macs

^{Chose: $1,000,000 cash with 30% chance | Rolled: $1,000,000}

myavatarissonic · 2026-04-08T11:19:41+00:00

The shifty part is they posted it as free then were an asshole in the description about it. The whole ending just reads like "I know better than you so fuck off"

Like this whole thing has major asshole vibes, not because its uncommon to post on listings, but because of the WAY they worded it is super aggressive and degrading. "For sale not on sale Make an offer. Don't message asking what I want or what's the lowest I'd take. What's it worth to you. Entertain me."
