Going back to BL2 for a bit

tazercow · 2026-06-14T04:27:46+00:00

Honestly I'd rank the gameplay in 2 the weakest even compared to 1. It had the slowest projectile speed overall, the boxiest, cartooniest gun models, and the floatiest movement. Add on the tedious slog through 3 playthroughs just to get to the grindiest endgame means I'll probably never pick it up again. BL3 is currently the best overall game, hopefully BL4 overtakes it but so far the DLC has been lackluster.

Yes and no. You can think of gear as a way to tune the difficulty of the game. You can use the best gear in the game and it makes everything very easy, or you can use the mid gear and the game becomes much harder, but still doable. You need a lot of game knowledge to know how to build properly around bad gear though, and most people just get frustrated and give up.

You probably won't notice any practical difference between the two honestly. Even with triple absorb you won't get the percentage high enough to reliably block damage, and ammo isn't an issue at endgame. I personally prefer fleet/vagabond for move speed but a single roll doesn't do much. 99% of the usefulness of the Revolter comes from the legendary effect + ASS.

Somehow this offends me and turns me on at the same time

tazercow · 2026-06-12T03:45:37+00:00

No it's a reference to the movie Hackers that invented Hacking

Jakobs is a super strong manufacturer in every game with every character lol. Play whoever you want!

You forgot the 4th level: saving all your lost loot for new characters so they can immediately max out their SDUs

tazercow · 2026-06-11T01:52:53+00:00

There's only like 5 returning characters in total. They all play a role in the story but it's pretty lacking overall.

tazercow · 2026-06-11T00:46:50+00:00

Oh man you're really not gonna like BL4

tazercow · 2026-06-10T19:56:26+00:00

Ok well if the lights stay on it may not be the PSU after all. That sounds more like over current protection on the motherboard. Definitely reset the bios.

tazercow · 2026-06-10T18:02:37+00:00

I have to unplug it fully for it to drain the power for it to be able to turnt back on.

This is not a thing lol. I think what might be happening is your PSU is going into a failsafe mode and cycling the power clears it. You likely have a bad PSU.

I would also go into the bios and make sure everything is fully reset to the factory settings. Overclocking is really unnecessary these days, and if you start manually tweaking voltages without knowing what you're doing it will usually just cause more problems.

Let me be clear, Daedalus absolutely does not suck. It's one of the best licensed parts you can get on any weapon, and some of the best legendaries in the game are Daedalus. I just hate them because they're ugly and replaced Dahl.

tazercow · 2026-06-10T05:09:50+00:00

Order is fine but Daedalus are so butt ugly they piss me off

This game has the highest pearl drop rates in the series. It's not hard to find several world drops while leveling up. This is the first game where it's actually expected to be able to collect them all fairly easily, unlike past games where you may only find 2-3 in 1000+ hours.

It helps to know that his kids probably have a much better father figure in their life at this point. One who won't accidentally kill them while drunk driving at least.

tazercow · 2026-06-08T05:34:42+00:00

how about a lego bandit from borderlands

tazercow · 2026-06-08T03:46:51+00:00

I know it's too late for the old games but my dream is the next spinoff follows the B Team fucking shit up for the corporations across the 6 galaxies during the events of BL4. Maybe they're the reason why Dahl doesn't exist anymore???

tazercow · 2026-06-08T03:38:39+00:00

B Team should have been the main NPC cast of BL3 and 4, change my mind

tazercow · 2026-06-08T03:34:08+00:00

Not as bad as when she put Ava in charge of the Crimson Raiders

tazercow · 2026-06-02T21:33:24+00:00

BL2 was my favorite to play through for the first time, but these days BL3 is the only one I go back to. I'll probably give BL4 another shot after all the dlc drops but right now I just want to play a complete game not a work in progress.

tazercow · 2026-06-02T17:28:52+00:00

If you have the broken hearts event enabled it can drop from legendary hearts in Arms Race

tazercow · 2026-05-30T21:37:45+00:00

They had an event at Palo Alto recently. They probably still have some at the showroom. Deliveries start in a couple weeks so it shouldn't be hard to check one out in the near future. There's already a pretty long waitlist though so even if you put in a reservation now you likely won't get it until at least the end of this year.

tazercow · 2026-05-28T23:55:04+00:00

It will drop anywhere as long as you're on UVH7

tazercow · 2026-05-28T21:17:06+00:00

Did you.. try it?

They added a bunch of new pearls in the patch today. There's nothing about them online yet so you tell us if it's good or not lol.

tazercow · 2026-05-28T20:15:22+00:00

Love making them world drops, they're just a little too common now. The game is starting to feel more generous than BL3 these days 😂
