This game is terrible compared to Borderlands 2
So many stuff is missing in this game that BL2 has that makes BL2 an actual real game.

In BL1 the story is horrid, bad weapon models, same exact map and tileset everywhere, poor colors, NO STORY at all, bad music.

It is insane how much BL2 evolved over BL1

I tried playing BL1 for atleast the story but even that was just bad so I looked up the story cutscenes on youtube and turns out there aren't any.

No one cares about Borderland's story because it's all just bad jokes only 12 yearolds and reddit users find funny.

Yeah when playing BL series for the first time I thought I would just start with BL 1 as one does with every game

The online is dead and nobody is going to play BL 1 now to grind for loot that would be really dumb when you could instead be playing BL2.

So I was like what the heck let me play BL1 single player just for the story so I can catch up before I jump into BL2

LOL Turns out the Story is non existent LOL basically a massive joke.

In the end I just skipped onto BL 2 as my first game and never regretted it.

Borderlands is just a type of game where the first version is a joke and there is 0 redeeming aspect to even try it. Basically the first Borderlands game is BL 2.

Because BL1 was just a unreleased Alpha title in a sense.

^ That is some quality nasty stinking lies you got going on there

I stated nearly 8 things and 1 out of the 8 is graphics.

In any event you couldn't be more wrong, for starters I am 34 so I am pretty sure I have been playing games since you were in diapers. This is the primary reason I play fighting games so much, one has to be a special idiot to not notice that. Young people don't play fighting games especially not street fighter. And no, single player story mode doesn't count in fighting games

In any event Borderlands is a loot grinding game hence the whole reason everybody plays BL2

You don't even know what "end game" is.

BL1 is a crap game that is incomplete, no story and 0 incentives to play since it is dead. Loot grinding games require end game content and a strong playerbase, neither of which BL1 has over BL2.

BL2 graphics just makes it a lot more pleasing to look at.

You are actually trying to "school" me a Diablo 2 and SF3 3rd strike veteran player?

Don't make me laugh kiddo, sit at the back and let the grown ups talk.

Angry Joe disagrees with you

He says BL1 is a tech demo and is garbage compared to BL2

This is just your opinion, but I liked the original game more than this stupid B2 and pre-sequel B2 clone, with terrible graphics and performance problems, problems with graphic settings and a plot sucked from the finger, as well as a bunch of garbage loot - the whole game did not fall out no normal weapons, and you call this a cool game ??? lmao

If there is one place where BL1 beats BL2 it's definitely in its loot generation. I once found a Legendary in a bin... A BIN ! The vending machines regularly had high quality gear. Where in 2 you'll be lucky to find anything higher than Green in the special offers, nevermind the main stock list.. Really the only way to get decent gear in 2 was by using Golden Keys. Which tbh was total BS, as technically they weren't even properly part of the game...

Not sure why people are bashing the weapons of 1 either. Wouldn't knock anything without first having a go with a MASHER, An ATLAS Machine Gun or ANARCHY SMG. All awesome and none of which made it into the sequel...

I seem to have written incomprehensibly, b2 is just awful and it's not just about loot, the graphic settings change almost nothing, weird performance with fps drop, anti-aliasing or anisotrophic does not work, background music I don’t know where it was dug out, I didn’t say about loot that I didn’t use gold keys, this is essentially cheating but there is nothing interesting, the atmosphere is not that all somehow boring, the game is designed for teenagers, but not for fans of action-rpg games (like first Borderlands), so my opinion will never change to B2 and BPS, and the third Borderlands will be the same c.r.a.p. judging by the video, so game pipeline running

Can't agree (How can I with my hours count lol)... BUT ! Yeah, where BL1 is concerned I certainly can. Mechanically speaking it is a much better constructed game. From loot generation to how damage works and the death animations of the bandits. Also like the fact that you can finish BL1 single player. Every mission, the job lot. Still annoys me to this day that there's just too many jobs sidelined for Co-Op only. Making completion in 1UP impossible.

Technically, never had any problems. Though my Radeon card does tend to struggle a bit with the Nvidia patented PhysX stuff....

But have really enjoyed them all tbh. Even "Tales", which I'd still prefer to just watch rather than piddle about being mind numbed by Telltales sh*tty gameplay mechanics...

Well, since you had no problems with the game, congratulate you, but I had all these problems with the nvidia card, i spend a lot of time trying to fix this, but can't, when I decided to play, I started to play, game is absolutely boredome, I do not impose my opinion on the fact that you don’t play b2, I like Borderlands only, I have already appreciated the games from gearbox, and for me, the good old Borlderlands will always remain the best (even the improved version came out lousy with golden keys and other improvements, it is not worth it)

about tales - good story, i like it

Are you saying that BL1 has true random loot meaning that you get better weapons in dustbins than you do with big bosses? If that is true then yes BL1 is a true ARPG game.

The golden keys have usually given he trash tho.

I would give BL1 another try if that is true but then again anybody can cheat or use a save file from someone else with the best in slot weapon. It isn't like Path of Exile where a true legendary is just that, you can't cheat and get it you really are that special and lucky when you get BIS drops in POE.

So the whole idea of BL1 being an ARPG kinda goes out the window when you consider cheating and save files are the norm.

When you get amazing loot in POE you really feel rewarded since its a closed server with an economy and no cheating. Noway you can feel the same about BL1 finding that legendary in a dust bin when you know the best weapon is 1 click of a save file away from someone.

dude, where did I talk about the save editor ??? Do you want to know how I got a good weapon (not a pearl, because percent of drop is very low, and i play b over 10 times and never see any pearl weapon) I played a solo with difficulty emulation of 4 players, passed the game 2 times and in both passages I killed Krawmerax, that's how you can get good loot, what’s the case with editing save files, and in previous posts I did not write this at all, do you feel okay, can you overheat on the sun?

No I am not arguing with you or anything

I was just pointing out something I noticed which is really sad and that is, getting the best item is 1 save file away from the countless you can find online. It sort of defeats the purpose of farming for an Amazing item like you do in POE.
