That was BL2 too though, right? I remember I had to use shift keys to get guns in my level range, because the guns that dropped in BL2 were often 5-10 levels under the level I had and didnt do enough damage.
crossplay across storefronts on the same platform....Look, if they wanted to (be difficult) they could have separate pools per storefront, but I don't get who is looking at EGS + Steam crossplay and going "wow" and meaning it.
You know what would be funny? If they made everyone playing Borderlands 3 on Steam login with and Epic account so they can play together.
When you beat the game you unlock harder difficulties called Mayhem which also improve the loot drop rate. Some bosses can drop up to 4 or 5 legendaries with the highest Mayhem modes.
It can feel like you can get every legendaries in a matter of days, but there is quite many of them, not to mention the anointments(special bonus like extra radioactive damage for the next 2 magazines when using your action skill) that vary a lot and is also not always present. So even if you got a pretty good sniper rifle, if it doesn't have the perfect anointment,(or none at all) you might want to farm for that, if that's your thing.
You missed the massive improvements in gunplay and removal of slag as a damage type.
So unless you never played the game....
I could be wrong but I think what he means is that the BL3 hype died a long time ago for home and that just cause of it being egs exclusive, that person doesn't wanna buy at launch.
I saw cross play and got incredibly excited that maybe I can port my ps4 character over to egs...nope.
I thought the loot drop rates in BL 2 and Pre-Sequel were absolutely fine.
I just don't understand people with your mindset. You talk like those 10 hours were wasted. What about the actual playing the game part? The shooting and moment to moment gameplay? You talk like the only thing fun in the game was getting that gun you wanted.
I shudder to think what people with your mindset would think playing the classic loot rpg Diablo 2 , where you could play for hours and hours without even getting a single legendary and if you got lucky and found one it could even be for another class.
My point was BL3 kinda sorta has the same issue BUT the underlying gameplay beneath the loot act as a safety net. BL2 and PS i had the same issue as you, shift key glitching was the only way I could get weapons that would do damage.
But like, the slightly better gunplay is still in service of overall boring game design.
The problem with Borderlands is that the best items are from quests. At least in 2 this is true. So you have to save all good quests until max level (which will eventually change...) and then reset the game literally thousands of times to get the perfect gun with all the right parts. It's essentially impossible without a save editor. The good items that do drop from actual bosses are very rare and also subject to the parts dilemma.
Many of the most desirable guns in this series are only even useful with very precise parts that are beyond "actually get 10 zod drops legit" levels of odds if they are a boss-only drop. It's completely unreasonable. Maybe they've ameliorated some of these issues in 3, but as of launch I don't think they had.
And the only way to get new quest guns after a level cap increase is to play the entire game again. Then reset a few thousand more times.
same, also will wait until the game is "finished" and I assume that will take a long time.
It's getting tons of DLC, right?
On the one hand, considering how badly the price of the physical console versions of BL3 has collapsed I get the impression that people might not be interested. On the other hand, I also get the impression that Metro Exodus' Steam release did really well in China, and right now is an excellent time to advertise something for the Chinese audience.
"I just wanted to figure out how she did her 'magic trick'"
Wtf at that excuse.
Would have impulse bought day 1 as I loved B1+2 but my hype has died down now. Probably will get when $15/$20.
Lmao, seriously. What the fuck.
Might buy it on a deep discount.
I don't feel like it's the case with Borderlands 3. There's a very limited amount of legendaries coming from quests and they're far from the best. Arguably the best shield in the game do come from a quest, but it also drops from enemies.
I mean, I haven't played BL3 yet or followed it. May jump in with Steam release, so I can't debate the specifics of the game (mostly just info leading to launch). But in 2 and pre-sequel, most of the best guns aren't legendary. The good quest guns are all blue. It's their unique functions that make them godlike.
I've never had a game fall off a cliff more dramatically for me that bl3.i bought it release day, got to the huge planet within a few days with the British dude and just never went back. I'm not sure I've actually thought about it once until today.
I don't tend to regret game purchases but bl3 was really a pointless purchase for me. I remember nothing and have no desire to boot it up again. A month of WoW BFA would have given me more and that's saying something.
So errr cool , glad it's coming to steam. A shame I bought it on epic at full price I guess!

I thought it was fine, nowhere near as good as 2 was but you can have a good time with it.
4 campaign DLCs. One already released (and is pretty damn good, the OST and art design is perfect) with decent length. 10-15 hours if you don't rush the main story, do all sidequests and explore all corners for red chests and special stuff to unlock rewards, and the 2nd DLC is supposed to be announced any minute I think.
It's okay, not everyone has to agree with you. You'll survive.
That's OK, they weren't funny in the first place. (I have 50+ hours in this game, I did not laugh once, combat loop is addictive tho)
Maybe if you'd stop trolling?
One of the biggest thing people talk about with BL3 is its massive improvements in gunplay. Look it up, it's in reviews, previews, the OT.
You dont have to lie of you dont like something. The world will continue spinning.
In at $40 for the super deluxe whatever its called edition, I like borderlands, wouldve played it already had it launched on steam
The more we've gotten to know Randy, the worse it's been for him.
I probably would have bought this on release, but my hype for it is pretty much gone at this point. I've actually discovered recently that if I miss the release window for a game I often won't pick it up down the road and don't find myself missing it. It's definitely made this the cheapest year for me in a long time in terms of game purchases!
I don't get it. What was wrong with the loot in BL2? I never used a shift code, i just farmed bosses/specific enemies/chests and did the raids solo at the highest difficulty.
As for BL3 for some reason the footage i saw never got me excited. I will probably pick it up at some sale.

I'll probably pick this up on sale. I had a lot of fun with Borderlands 1 and 2 around 2011-2012 or so and while I'm not sure if I'm quite into loot shooters as much these days, I definitely would like to give this a try when the price is right for me. Just got a lot of long games I'm playing through right now so not in a huge rush to get into this at the moment.
This sounds awesome. I'm in.
There is absolutely nothing worse than wasting your life farming for items by doing the same shit over and over again.
