"Holy nutballs. What happened to your frickin' face?"
It was a full price DLC sold as a standalone game, something Far Cry Blood Dragon did, but better, because it also had a completele tonal shift and was one giant cheeseball. The OZ humor just doesn't land 99% of the time on people outside of OZ. HOURS of WAITING for characters to finish their fucking exposition so the door right in front of you goes from red to green allowing you to pass. O2 kits being more of an annoyance than a key gameplay element (remember how they said shattering enemy gas masks was a big deal and in reality it never mattered past like level 10?). Janey and Athena being lesbos for no reason, and Janey being REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING about it. Character audio in general - full of saliva, lip smacks and audible breathing. Awful, awful vehicles. Basically no endgame (here, enjoy farming nothing but a single fucking lizard). Boring, reused legendaries (Claptastic Voyage alleviated that somewhat, Laser Disker is the best weapon in the game). Luneshine in general. Music was actually completely forgettable, TPS was already marred by the "melody bad, ambience good" trend. Seriously, BL1's Fyrestone Theme is still stuck with me today. BL2 had lots of catchy tunes, particularly in combat. Southern Shelf and Three Horns are great, and I think Exploitation Preserve which is also reused in Pyro Pete's bar I like the most. The Dust's combat theme basically has buzzards embedded in it. And fucking hell, the RIFFS in Bloodshot Ramparts.
Guns Love And Tentacles isn't nearly as bad as people meme it because the gay shit lasts for like the opening five minutes and the rest of it is Lovecraftian shit with a weird cult.
I mean BL3 has an absolute fuck ton of DLC and post-game content thet BL4 completely lacks rn so it's not really a fair comparison.
Many such cases with triple A. I wonder why?
Runs like shit, $70 minimum purchasing price, and the retard running the show went out of his way to piss off everyone who didn't like that the game runs like shit and costs >$70. I would be surprised if they still had any expectations a week after release.
Certainly is changing several franchises that were just that humor in general. I honestly don't know if it's for the better, considering what's replacing it is just going the complete opposite direction and dropping the cringy but ultimately creative and unique settings and environment for the dullest possible choices all the way to make it more "serious". Borderlands 4 looks like boring slop the entire way from the variety of biomes and enemies I've seen, at least borderlands 3 was varied yet annoying slop. I guess I can stomach ass-tier dialogue more than I can stomach nothing by-the-numbers storytelling.
The era ended when gearbox thought it was a good idea to ruin the touching ending of the tiny tina dlc with a forced "wow isnt claptrap annoying" bit.
Yeah Lilith has the worst siren ability in the game, its kinda funny how much cooler her powers are once you aren't playing as her.
Borderlands is carried so hard by its gameplay its not even funny. Its humor is also very hit and miss but the fact they throw so many at you means you are gonna find at least a few of them funny. Less "oh its the one good borderlands joke" and more "every game has a couple good jokes"
