Do you still play this game?

[Nello]

So, I love the game in the past, and I tried every characters at least once, we played the story multiple times.

But now I feel like I really no longer have any content to enjoy left. The problem is that I still occasionally miss the game and I feel like I want to play the game. Is there anyone who has already done everything on the game and still been playing the game? How are you enjoying the game, and what contents are you mainly enjoying?
Also, I wonder if some overhaul mods like Redux actually change the game enough to make it feel different.

I dont play as much as i used to but every now then then ill get an idea for a build and run with it and play for a few days. Just sad 3 didnt have the longevity that 2 had

Incompetency and esg money were the downfall of this game (and Wonderlands). Main story suffered the worst.

- Anointments were a good idea on paper but a stupidly tedious grind even with the machine in Sanctuary.
- Way too much phucking dialogue. Just shtfu and let me play.
- Game drops legendaries way too often destroying the rush you'd get from BL2 or previous games.
- Map is an embarrassing joke. Horrible in areas with multiple levels like the mansion in Revenge of the Cartel.
- Antagonists are a joke.
- Things happen in the story that don't even make sense. If you play as a Siren the twins are never after your powers because reasons?

Objective improvements exist like fast travel, visuals and drop levels different for each player. The good doesn't outshine the bad though.

Pretty spot on. I disagree with the map take. I like most of them and have alot of fun with the Mansion. But that one is subjective. The rest of em 100% with you

This game has a weird definition of "rare." Legendaries drop so often they could be considered just as common as purples.

And Sirens, supposedly the rarest beings in the universe, are interacting with you and each other frequently and at the same time. The best part? There's like 6 or 7 of them in the game.

exausted... but Hero does have a point, twins wanna leach sirens but when they do interact with Amara the just don't seem to give a ♥♥♥♥

Even though I've completed all of the content in this game, I still enjoy playing it. The story/dialog/NPCs all suck, but the gunplay is fantastic.

To make it interesting again, you could try doing challenge runs. I particularly enjoy allegiance runs. Pick a manufacturer or weapon type and stick to it. You might end up using items and builds that you never considered before.

I play it with the third person mod enabled, but ♥♥♥♥ me if the writing makes enjoying the game almost impossible at times.

Egs money has little to do with it, if the story was background noise it would be better for since the gameplay is the best part.

This is probably the worst Borderlands I've played and it's a shame. The story is terrible, the gunplay/weapons/abilities are cool but after a while that wears off and it's just a game of running around, collect this, kill that, repeat endlessly. I'm just focusing on the main story to get my Steam Achievements from the main game/DLC and move on to something else.

I truly hope Borderlands 4 is a return to form because if they churn out another entry into this amazing franchise like Borderlands 3, it will never recover.

I mean that gameplay loop is basically how every bl game is.

im gonna say the legedary drop rates are not a problem to me. they were increased because the large amount of new ones added to BL3. if they stayed the same literally only mabye 10% of the player base would ever see them cause 90% of the base doesnt like grinding stuff

[F3LLGaming]

also as for stuff to do i have done quite a few challenge runs doing specific things. for example ive dont palythroughs using only Dahl, Jakobs, Maliwan, and Vladof guns (i allowed any manufacturers grenades or shields since only hyperion makes guns and shielfs in BL3 so if i did grenades and shielfs id have like no shield for those playthroughs and F**K that) im alos working on a really odd playthrough that i thought would be interesting and might be a interesting challenge where i cant be "racist" meaning i cant kill charecters who are not white directly (so basically i cant shoot, grenade, or use damaging action skills, or Fl4ks attack command against black charecters ((so for example when i fight aurelia its gonna be hard as ♥♥♥♥) also id recommend using fl4k if you try this challenge as while you cant use attack command i wouldnt count fl4ks pet just killing enemies on there own as breaking the rules as i didnt do that myslef or order it) honestly theres a lot of ways to replay the game in unique ways. im probably gonna try a melee only palythrough as amara because she has a skill tree for melee and honestly i want a excuse to use the blade fury, face puncher or psycho stabber.

[SubTonic]

Got the urge for Borderlands recently and this is easily the best of the trilogy to me, just for the guns and combat feel alone. Never cared for the story in any of them, I just like shooting stuff with wacky guns.

So you only kill white characters?
And that isn't racist?
Do you even hear what you are saying?

But there is a difference between fixing a bad drop-rate and making it even worse - like they did.
They are supposed to be LEGENDARY - not common trash.

Yeah that was really a strange remark - killing only people of a certain perceived race is ... well quite racist.
