Favorite Fl4k line: That one was talking shit
Another opinion of mine: I really wish the series would go back to the “mercenary feel” of borderlands 1. The vibe and atmosphere was a lot more grim and it truly felt like a fight for survival and to make your mark on the world.
Bump. I am so tired of this wacky space crap, the story should 100% be rebooted.
Fl4k and Zane are space mercs
I agree. Feeling like a super hero is kinda lame
@@revearain7692they are still treated as heroes when in reality nobody in the series is a hero. Everyone is a bad guy even the main characters in the first 2 games. Jack even explains it to you the ENTIRE story in bl2. He tells you he's explicitly trying to end all bandits in the universe to make a peaceful world where people don't punch eridian artifacts into your face and disfigure you for life.
@@Brandon-dy8us Athena, claptrap, roland, zer0 are the only vault hunters to never be bandits (first 3 games) at any point in the original story. Everyone else becomes a bandit later, midway, or was a bandit before and they gained those titles because they were in between vault hunts
Hot take: Borderlands 3 is light years ahead of Borderlands 2 for gameplay, FUN endgame, build and gear diversity AND you don’t have to play the story more than ONE TIME per character.
That said. I LOVE BL2, but it’s near impossible to go back for anything more than a single playthrough without crippling boredom
Tell that to Joltz, K6 lol
k6 i love you bro but you’re the same guy who reviewed new tales from the borderlands and gave it a “great game”.
I agree, but you can become OP too quick in BL3 if you know what you're doing. The second I hit lv72 on my Zane, I could already do Mayhem 11... but this is also kinda good, since you can actually try some more unique "weaker" styles/restrictions for the _whole_ game (I like snipers only), which in the other games would be extremely unviable. I noticed this on my FL4K, his Orange/Green trees are insane, but you can definitely make the Blue tree work if you wanted to, in fact, I already want a 2nd FL4K purely for an OP pet build.
@@erickalvarez-delgado6091I dont recall K6 ever calling that game great lmao.
@@Kaiji... yeah you are always overpowered in BL3 and i think thats what K6 likes about the game being honest.
my dad refused to play the pre sequel because he said "why would anyone care about handsome Jack's backstory, hes not a redeemable good guy"
because it's athena's story
So is this entire video going to be "This opinion might be unpopular" though its clearly not?
A hot take would be Ava is a good character and Maya's death and the Vault Hunter not stopping it actually makes sense.
You've agreed with literally everything so far.
So I've got this video playing in the background and I heard my name and looked up like what the shit? Haha. Good video brother, keep it up!
Lmaooo, thank you!
Thank you for acknowledging TPS was good, I love that game. Sure it had its flaws but I really liked the movement options it gave you. I'd even go as far as say the story was pretty good. It basically sets up Jack's story and how he became the way he did. Wished they would've delved deeper into it though.
Also Clap Trap's DLC. Hands down best add on to any BL game. I just hope the events of TPS don't get retconned seeing as how major events that happened in the game aren't ever mentioned in BL3.
they basically retconned Aurelia she had decent character develpment in tps but it all went down in the drain
The worst thing in Borderlands 3 was all the waiting for the NPCs to finish their cringe dialog before continueing , the entire game was literally just: Enter a room -> kill 5-10 mobs -> listen to 5 minutes of cringe -> repeat.
I noticed something when i played Bl2 recently, and that is that it gives the player (most of the time) a quest marker and the ability to do the task while or before the npc's are finished talking, which really improves the pace
I still stand by what I say because sirens do so much but at the same time we know next to nothing about them. Their origins, true purpose, how they work. Yet the writers insist on using them without telling us barely anything. The pre sequel didn’t have a lot of siren presence and it was good. It just shows how little they matter to the universe. I think the series would be better off without them
That's fair
Not to mention that the sirens were handled so poorly in BL3 that it kinda just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth
You can tell they either wrote themselves into a wall with sirens, or they anticipated bl1 to be a 1-off game so didn’t bother expanding on them.
@@windebiesteultima3317 they prolly coulda just wrote em off as rare individuals that can use the shiny purple rock and have special powers instead of connecting them to some giant overarching plot that barely gets fleshed out
Fully agree, they seem to just be a crutch for poor writing.
Rather than make them similar to biotics like in Mass Effect they have made them so overpowered with Lilith now doing a good impression of space Jesus it costs world and character building in the franchise.
Not to mention all the sirens characters are annoying and have been forced into the story more and more as the series goes on.
I've always thought this, but my hottest take is that TPS has a more consistent story progression than BL2. I always find myself getting a bit bored around The Fridge in BL2, but with TPS, there's none of that. The only thing that keeps me playing BL2 is the massive amount of content and that includes modded content. If TPS had half the modded content that BL2 has, I probably wouldn't even touch BL2 again, because the fridge is always a coin toss for a full stop on a character, and then I never play that character again.
i think you can skip going through the fridge, im not sure
You can just make a lv 30 character with the fight for sanctuary dlc and only have to play the story twice instead of 3 times
How are people gonna hate oz kits when the whole setting is literally in space/Vaccum tbh honest i would be mad if they didnt add oz kits,Oxygen is one of the most inportant things we humans need.
Yeah it's realistic but it gets in the way of gameplay, and to many people gameplay is more important. They could easily add a line about someone inventing an infinite air kit or something similar.
i just wish oxygen mechanics were used more. large portions of the game take place in oxygenated environments so you only lose oxygen by jetpacking, and it's never really anything more than another resource to manage. one idea i like is making oxygen more important to enemies so that you could control their positioning by controlling their access to oxygen. as it is, it's just another bar, one which i don't think is affected by any skills. running out of oxygen kills you so slowly that the most concerning thing about asphyxiating is that you can't jump as high.
i love tPS and 3 despite recognising their flaws, but at least tPS' flaws seem to be mostly down to lack of resources and time than just whatever was going on with the writing team for BL3. when tPS has a missed opportunity, i wonder why it was missed and if things might have been different. when 3 has a missed opportunity, i wonder how some people ever got jobs.
Sir. Borderlands 2 end game was extremely unbalanced.
That's a fact.
Slag was bad for the game too, unfortunately.
Derch or Joltz for creative director ✋🏻
Corrosive in Borderlands 1 was like the slag of that game, it had an effect just like slag where a target being affected by corrosive would take extra damage from any sources of damage. On top of that it was like Borderlands 2 where it delt more damage against armored enemies. So there for yes it was a better form of slag which honestly would have been cool to have again along with explosive being it's own element again
Bl1 is so easy becuase there was pretty much no end game that it was a useless mechanic
This isn’t a hot take but a question. Why don’t I see people talking about gear box constantly trying to change a huge part of the core of what a borderlands game is? Specifically dedicated drops. They have tried in the last 3 games to get rid of respawning farmable bosses and dedicated drops and I don’t understand why. The community has been EXTREMELY clear that we want respawning bosses and don’t want complete RNG when it comes to farming gear but they keep pushing that shit. I feel like they are gonna try again in BL4 then have to make a huge update to give gear dedicated drops and have enemies respawn.
Adding to the hot takes with: BL1 has the best inventory menu
Borderlands 3’s story killed the franchise for me like 4 could come out and I wouldnt care they fucking murdered the characters from 2 and Tales (Dont get me started about TFTBL)
Not only that but I can deal with a mistake but they then released TTW which is a following disappointment. I longer trust they can make a decent video game. I dont talk shit about bl3 and TTW because I hate them I talk shit about them because BL1 and 2 are the reasons my love for video games developed into an unhealthly hobby. Even TPS was enjoyable. No one wanted the last 2 piles of shit to be great more than me. They have failed miserably and I just wont be bothered anymore.
On the corrosive one in borderlands 1 it increased damage of subsequent attacks by 15% I believe it. Like 20 25% less damage to flesh and of course extremely effective to armor.
No, a good weapon is the original bugged Draco. The one that looked like and even had the name of a regular glorious massacre MG, always had 3x to 4x elemental proc chance, had a specific clip size, was black and yellow or red and black (been some years, forgot the exact color scheme) and had that cylindrical attachment under the barrel. What made this thing amazing was on top of it's legendary effects and stats, it also had the buffs to I think accuracy, mag size, and something else because of it dropping as a glorious machine gun or glorious massacre. Hunting for this thing was literally a game of roulette or slots since it had looked exactly like the aforementioned weapons and had they're respective rarities (one was blue and the other was purple or one was green and the other one blue), no flavor text and when I say it looked like one of these two lower rarity weapons, I mean even to the name (as said before, if it dropped, it dropped as a glorious machine gun or glorious massacre with a few key differences), had to have an exact range of accurracy and damage, along with an exact range for it's elemental damage multiplier, then on top of all that, if it had a different color scheme or didn't have that cylindrical underbarrel attachment it wasn't it. Pearlescents back in the day were easier to farm than this thing, and that's with farming crawmerax.
The lead writer I believe left after Bl TPS that’s why the storylines after went to dog, but then he did return to be involved in the new tales of the borderlands so… yeah.
Makes perfect sense if that's true
I think new tales was underfunded and rushed and that's why the writing is so bad
Hot take: the pre-sequel Is that hole-in-the-wall everybody swears is better than my favorite popular spots, but every time I give it a chance the food is bland and I never finish.
honestly axton is probably my favorite vault hunter from bl2, i know theres better ones out there but ive always loved the builds axton can use really, grenade axton is one of my favorite playstyles, avenger chucking and babymaker axton is also extremely fun, but my favorite build from his has gotta be AR axton, assault rifles have been slept on in bl2, they are extremely fun to play as and shredding terra with the lead storm or destroying bosses with the chopper was my favorite time playing bl2 really, then op10 dropped and kinda ruined alot of it so take that as you will.
also, huge hot take here: gearbox needs to make a custom level or workshop system for people to create their own levels and maybe even guns for bl3 or possibly even bl2
Not a hot take at all just a correct take.
Are you making another? If you do heres two hot takes:
1. It's fun to watch when modders join and obliterate any and everything.
2. Boosting become okay when you don't have modders insta lvl cap you.
(I did it to have two uvhm playthroughs so I don't have to run the atory again if I want a mission reward.)
3. "That sentence was to many syllables. Apologise!" Is one of Tongue's best voice l lines
OP levels and their consequences has been a disaster for the Borderlands franchise.
OP levels are entirely optional were added as a way to adjust the difficulty however you want.
hot take: I don't care what anyone thinks if you want to use a save editor to boost yourself and make leveling easier. The process is long enough as it is.
In bl3 gear is easy enough to get to where it’s no big deal, in bl2 tho OP level grinding is so awful that i don’t blame anyone for using gibbed
The visual pollution in bl3 is horrible. When it’s late at night like 7am it just hurts
My guy 7am is early morning 😭. When do you go to bed lol.
@@chriscolbert2188 about 8 or 9 am
I have a few.
Borderlands 2 was not as fun of a game as TPS or Borderlands 3. I love BL2 btw, but I rarely will play it over BL3.
Wonderlands is the worst BL game, by far.
Maya's death needed to happen, but the writers used it as a crutch, not a culture shocking story beat.
Amara is the worst vault hunter Borderlands has ever seen.
-Butcher Rose- Athena is the best from a gameplay perspective.
Krieg is cool but not the best, sorry.
Maya is the best purely from a story perspective but her gameplay is mid.
Youve got to download the azurelands mod for bl2. Also highly recommend eternal and movement mods. Makes bl2 the definitive best borderlands game imo
Bl3 nore fun then 2 is an L take
@@janundsoo bl1 and tps > both
tbh I really love oz kits in the presequel but I do think they have the problem of being mentally draining. After a few hours of playing the presequel I feel exhausted in a way I don't with bl2, and I think that's because of the oz kits and low gravity.
My hot take? Everyone praises BL2s campaign as being the best in the series. I agree. But I also think people have very thick rose tainted glasses with regards to it. Lemme explain.
BL2 has a good campaign *the first few times you play through it.* Waking up after the train ambush and then spending the first while working towards Sanctuary is cool. The twists in the story are really good the first time through.
But when doing subsequent playthroughs you realize just how slow the game is initially. You spend the first 2-3 hours just fighting bandits and bullymongs. You realize just how many plot holes there are in the campaign's story (we just stand there T posing after Jack shoots Roland, Angel is such an important character who's with us the whole game yet we learn next to nothing about her, and despite us clearly having the capability to foil his plans...Jack never does anything to stop us). Most of the characters act like you don't really exist (a problem BL3 had even worse) and the fact the best they could come up with for repeat playthroughs was everyone gets tankier and does more damage, but you just do more damage feels so underwhelming.
True but the other stories are worse
Idk if this is a hot take but snipers and sniping lowkey suck in BL1. only good ones are the op ones.
BL1 is the best game in the series
I got a hot take for you: Borderlands 3 looks like trash because of all of the neon. Instead of actually putting effort into the environments like they did in Borderlands 2, they just made everything shiny and bright to distract you from the fact that it's not Borderland's signature style anymore.
Not to mention that the game is way too dark in a lot of areas.
And way too easy
I beat borderlands 3 on on mayhem 10 probably 20 times
Didn’t finish typing… but the story felt lazy and super mid
Also the filler maps where you just drive in a straight line… laaaame, and I really like bl3
my hot take is that BL2 does not have a good story, or very much of a story. it's carried pretty much exclusively by Jack's personality and relies far too heavily on your attachment to the original four vault hunters despite the fact that they don't really have much personality before they actually get to speak in 2.
tPS, despite its many flaws, has the best story, with characters that change and grow and have clear motives. of 1,2, tPS, and 3, it's the only one with a story that does more than just justify continued gameplay (it's just a shame about the other stuff, like backtracking and dogshit optimisation)
💯
This is great, would love more hot take videos like this
Bl2 was for sure the best in terms of story and gameplay and gunplay. And what you said about introducing lgbt characters, I agree, it was done phenomenally in a time when it was still "fringe" what I don't like about gearbox is how they now include it in EVERY single romance story in Wonderlands. The amount of lgbt stuff shoved in your face is just uncomfortable. Bl3 did it great too with the love and tentacles dlc.
I liked the vague waypoint objectives in bl1 like “kill (person)”, go (area)
10/10 I loved that
Bl1 is the most casual of the games. You need no gun/build knowledge at all and you can do well. Farming is optional you can go through the entire game without having to farm better stuff. And the dlcs slap
Except the Moxxi DLC
I agree however when you move on and experience 2 and 3 there is a transformation of expectations that happens if you go back to it. Sure it's classic but it has a caveman functionality to it even with QOL improvements in the GOTY edition. I have the GOTY, the Handsome Collection and the second best BL3 and it's difficult to pick BL1 back up. I certainly know the differences but it's not like you hopping out of a tesla and into a 65 Mustang. It more like crawling through the hatchback of an 85 Ford Escort and working that shitty manual transmission to get anywhere. I love the franchise I do. There's a certain slice of my heart reserved for 1 but it gets smaller as time goes by.
@@nathanarbuckle3180 that transformation of expections just proves bl1 is more casual, it doesn’t need a bunch of QoL changes to be good. Anybody can pick up bl1 with no knowledge of borderlands games at all and get to max lvl smoothly, bl2 getting max lvl op 10 you have to know what items to farm, where to get them, and how to use them. Bl2 is the better game absolutely, but the games will never be as simple/casual and relaxing as bl1. Bl3 is more casual than bl2 but still not like bl1
@@CevsyOld No it doesn't . It proves it's a simpler more rudimentary game. That game is difficult. There is a overall lack of ammunition around other than the machines. The driving mechanics are unresponsive and wonky. Without the QOL , navigation is certainly possible but a righteous pain in the ass. And how about every enemy and their mother having the ability to reincarnate every time you turn your back after putting a bullet in their head. If you do not have the ability to get to level 10 in BL 2-3 smoothly then you're doing something wrong I hate farming and it is certainly far more optional in 2 then 1 by quantity of weapons alone. Quantity is a quality all its own. I've found far better weapons on average that have sustained me for more levels then the spitwad shooters you get on average in 1. Frustration is an deliberately built into a games design. It's an emotion that will force a player to find alternative means to succeed. In 1 because there are shittier decent average weapon drop rates that makes frustration rise aggressively quick making the decision to quit a pretty casual choice. It seems by your explanation a learning curve is not something you look for in video games. Fine so be it. BL2 isn't rocket surgery. BL3 is pretty complicated. 1 is primitive in comparison and that does not translate to casual. If you think so then I would venture you have a very different definition then casual because I've never suffered a head trauma from playing 2 or 3. My walls of my apartment after playing 1 left me without a security deposit. Casual is a word used to describe how many hours you game or a the quantity and intelligence of the game's enemy.
@@nathanarbuckle3180 bro I ain’t reading that much so I’m gonna leave it at this. Bl1 is worse than 2/3 but is more simple, relaxing, easy, easier to get into, and the biggest one of all is it’s the most casual of the games. The borderlands games will never have that same feeling again. I’m not here to argue I just wanted to leave my “hot take” in the comments of a video about hot takes
My hot take is that anointments were fine in BL3. They probably needed the damage nerfed a little, but I didn't see them as any different than a weapon part.
hot take antiomemts need practical usages beyond the wacky useless ones that no one ever uses and different ammunitions would be cool aswell I mean it would make sense along with using are best guns in battles
Tiny Tina's assault on dragon keep is overrated. That's my hot take. You may now proceed to call me a heretic.
Hot take, borderlands 2 would be a lot better if op levels got mayhem scaling similar to bl3. End game borderlands with op levels feels like something that wasn’t fleshed out and it turns actions skills that damage into liabilities, makes certain skills legit a handicap to pick up, and many guns just feel dissatisfying to use. Plus the issue of health not scaling when you already died at lighting fast speeds compared to one.
Agreed
Here's a hot take, borderlands will never capture what the first and second games were. It literally all goes downhill from here forward and there's nothing we can do because nobody is making it a point to let companies that lose their soul know that these games are terrible and poorly written. Like it or not gearbox is gonna rake in thousands, if not millions, of dollars and they're gonna keep pushing stuff like pre sequel, 3, and the new tales from the borderlands because even as a shit game it's still making them money.
haven't watched the video yet but here is my hot take: jack wasn't a very good villain, he was your generic bad guy wants to take over the world stop him character, but every few minutes he would call you up to tell you that you are a piece of shit or tell you to kill yourself
BL2 was only good for Jack. BL3 was better in most ways. People just hang onto Jack and call the other games worse. TPS has the best writing, BL3 the best gameplay and BL2 the best villain. BL3 and BL2 have weak stories. Wonderlands was both a step forwards and backwards. It was a fun game but they needed better DLC and End Game. If they had that it'd likely have been better than BL2 in every way. Going by artstyle BL3 has the upper hand here too. BL1 was literally jus the same colour, BL2 was a step up but BL3 felt perfect. Certain planets with certain vibes was great to me.
A game with the story and writing of Wonderlands and TPS with the gameplay of BL3 and a unique villain would be the literal perfect game.
My hot take: BL3 is the best game in the series, best gameplay by far and most the story is skippable if you don't care. Incredible DLC, Mayhem was amazing and much better than UVHM & OP, Takedowns were fun and required you to work towards the boss and felt like a full scale raid.
Most based comment on this video
Fair, I honestly just hate how people slander other games in the series and defend BL2 when it had it's MANY issues too. BL3 was no masterpiece but the gameplay was definitely a step up. Also the Calypsos weren't even that bad, just an unfortunate slave or millennial writing.
lol I love my cameo 😂
also 9:12 corrosive in BL1 has a 15% damage debuff if you didn’t know
Good to know, never knew that!
It was the perfect amount of debuff. Enough to make it worth it but never did you rely on corrosive and swap mechanics. Plus, the debuff applied to future corrosive damage as well, so you didn't even need to swap.
Slag in bl2 is massively helped by most characters having skills that apply it for them, reducing how often you need to swap guns. Characters needing to suck on the grog/rubi just to stay alive is a pretty big flaw though.
TPS is the DS2 of the series. It definitely has some good points, but man it’s not the sequel people were looking for.
HOT TAKE GUNFIRE REBORN IS THe BEST SHLOOTER OF ALL TIME. Better then the entire borderlands series.
Oooh I was in a video!
And I still stand by my take but I do agree with what you said about it. Health regen, outrageously high damage output from the enemies alongside the crippling reliance of slag is what made UVHM and OP lvs unfun
Uvhm is fine. I can see what you mean with op levels but uvhm really isn’t that hard
@@savingark1528Even in op levels you can kill enemies without slag pretty easily on most characters and the characters that do rely more on slag are able to apply slag very easily. An example is maya having low dmg and relying on slag possibly the most but she also has two super reliable sources of slag and tons CC.
Borderlands 3 is the best BL game. There, I said it.
The BL2 meatriding in this video is unreal
Half the BL2 raid bosses were fucking trash lmao. Master Gee? Vorac? Dexi? I'm pretty sure that Hyperious's health was literally glitched on OP10.
Sure there were more DLCs if you count the headhunters but like who actually plays any of those besides the Snowman one or Son of Craw? Like at least in BL3 all the content was actually worth doing.
OP levels were fucking horrendous, it was literally one shot or get one shot. Unless you played like Brawn Tree Sal. And god forbid you didn't have the Grog Nozzle or you would just die 24/7 cause the characters have basically no healing in BL2. Not to mention the lack of build variety and weapon variety. Literally every build at endgame uses at least some of the same equipment.
I could go on but I would be here all night. Id play BL3 over BL2 any day of the week. BL3>BL2>TPS>WL>BL1.
I will gladly do it again 😭😂
I have one: DLC is absolutely useless until max level, unless there's scaling. If you do DLC on BL2 in normal / TVHM, you're just going to overlevel and ruin the game. Even then, you basically have to play vanilla around 5 times in BL2 in order to get to max level and fully enjoy the DLC, _without_ having to reset everything so you get your max level Sandhawk etc. Oh, you did it early at Lv65 in UVHM? Have fun doing the entire game again just to farm max level items... OH WAIT THERE'S OP8 NOW TOO, DO IT AGAINNNNNN, HAHAHAHA 😑
Here is the biggest hot take; The looter system it's dumb AF. It's a time waster by desing created for MMOs games to make easy content and force people to stay in the game longer, that's why mounts in games like WOW or FFXIV had 0.1% chance of drop after a boss, and that makes devs be lazy desining the game, insteed of a hard battle and get your reward, it's like "yeah, kill Bunker 123412412312 times, and MAYBE get the not shit sham. That's why I play the normal mode with some friends with one vault hunter and I'm done with the game.
Its good to note that the lead writer anthony birch who wrote bl1, bl2 and pre sequal was the reson writing in Em was good and he left the company after randy pitchfork tried (allegedly) to bite his nose off, when he was asking for his pay.
Borderlands 3 doesnt hav the greatest gunplay, its hella overrated. Its extremely simplistic and easy. Sliding and mantling didnt add anything at all to the game. If i wanted to shoot while moving at sprint speed i would just sprint and jump. All that mantling did was hav the areas designed around using mantling to get to them, if there was no mantling then those areas would be designed in a way to get to them without mantling. They also removed grenade jumping and rocket jumping which was a way mor cool and interesting form of movement than sliding and mantling. Bl3 removed so much enemy variety and turned the enemys into generic targets to shoot at. U dont hav to think at all while fighting them. Bandits dont feel any differint from eachother. Maliwan feels mostly the same as bandits. All the creatures feel the same. Everything is so dumbed down. All the bosses are just boring and easy. Just big health bars to melt that drop legendarys. Almost every character plays like salvador. For example moze is literally just holding down the fire button while spamming grenades that heal you. Zane is just holding the fire button while spamming his mantis cannon skill. Etc. Annoints are jusy glorified slag and hella restrictive. In bl2 i could just grab a white slag weapon and be completely fine with that. Or i could use other weapons that slag in differint ways like a slagga, slag pimpernel, grog nozzle, random maliwan snider. I could slag with grenades, and even action skills. Annoints, on the other hand, hav extremely restrictive conditions that force me to play in a specific way, with the only exception being the consecutive hits which is why literally every build uses it. Because of how random annoint effects are, it just creates an annoying grind to get the one that fits with ur build and it literally is just a replacement for slag. I could critisize mor abt the mechanics of bl3 but this comment would be very long, yea thats my hot take bl3 is pretty boring and repetitive once u play it for mor than an hour or two
Hot take: BL1 guns are the best because they have more weight than the guns in BL2 and 3. Some guns have weight in the other games and some games in 1 don't have weight, but overall, one has more. Like, the first time you fire the shot gun in doom, you're like, holy crap, that feels like it will tear up a demon. BL1 guns had that feel more then 2 or 3, overall. Some guns are exceptions.
Minor correction! The voiceline thing isn't because tha characters have few voicelines, it's because the wiki is woefully incomplete on everything post TPS.
3:33
13:27 Also, I think the neon stuff is an accessibility issue. It can be very overloading to people with sensory issues (like me) which is why I don't play much BL3 anymore
Thank you for this
@@ItzTermxou're welcome
I have to agree with you with the accessibility stuff. I end up with headaches when I play BL3 which puts me off from playing it further.
i found out how to reduce the glowing effects, let me know if you are interested!
Also I'm pretty sure that krieg has the most voice lines of any character in any borderlands game
Honestly bl2, for me personally, is a lot of fun in uvhm. At the same time though bl2 is so much better when you don't go for op levels especially with going to level 80. All pearls can drop at level 80 op 0 and I love that dlc for it. Also corrosive in bl1 was a debuff on enemies like Slag on bl2 while also dealing dot
Hot take: all of the Bl3 vault hunters range from ok to bad character-wise, excluding Zane. Amara's entire personality and the majority of her lines are just her being conceited. Moze is just Axton if he wasn't with Dahl and had Iron Bear instead of the Sabre turret. I didn't hear most of Flak's lines but from what I've heard he's just alright. Zane is the only one that's consistently funny and entertaining.
Hot take I don't really like anointments I like borderlands but I dont like grinding hours for a couple weapons l. And that's just anointments alone I'm not counting the part rolls.
15:00 To me that would be full offense. But that's me believing 3 is the worst in the series, wonderlands not counted (most people probably don't count it either)
On the topic of Axton: dude’s all about the basics. Guns, shields, grenades. Solid Straightforward skills with great boosts you don’t have to datamine to figure out how they actually work.
Also he has the fastest raid kills in the game suck it Salvador.
The handsome collection is 100% my best steam purchase so much content for like 13 dollars
Also I really wanna see a redone borderlands 2 with the qol, gunplay, and graphics of borderlands 3
My hot take is that the humour of 2 has made it a product of its time and they should go back to the dry humour of the first game instead of using whatever memes at the time of development for humour in the next game.
I've grown to despise some borderlands humor. That childish kind like "lol what if a character said fart". Also tiny tina drives me insane at this point.
Borderlands 3 progression. Beat game (lv 40) farm graveward or other easy boss for 3 hours, be max level. Buy op mayhem 10 gear from vendors or kill easy side bosses.
Game is beaten...
Borderlands 2, beat game (lv 28 ish) repeat game will new cool guns and encounters new enemy variations that challenge your build as you start build crafting. Finally lv 50 into UVHM and you get to do all your hard grinding for the super rare gear.
Also to add it isn't a chore like bl3 to have to survive the story of the actual game.
It is very much a chore to beat the game 3 separate times to get to max level. Love Bl2 but I’m picking bl3 to just play casually out of the two just cause it so much better than having to play the story 3 times, also ultimate vault hunter and op levels are straight up broken and not fun to deal with
You can literally beat all of BL2 with an Unkept Harold and a Fastball. Every time I started a new BL2 playthrough, at level 9 I got a DPUH and Fastball and just rolled through the game. Also, BL2's story is boring as fuck to play through 3 times to get to UVHM. I would literally quit out at certain points to skip dialogue to go faster. Yea BL3's story isn't great but I don't have to play it 3 fucking times per character. Also, id rather get to 72 in 3 hours then have to spend 2 days grinding from 72-80 in BL2.
BL3 haters are literally delusional lmao. Game isn't perfect but its miles better then BL2 in 95% of categories.
@@GoldenChainsaw bing bong your opinion is vastly out competed. Go home troll.
Bl2 is absolutely a chore tf you mean lol. At least by like playthrough 4
Guess my hot take would be wonderlands could have been fun if they didn't spend 90% of there time with the lame ass dungeons like it's a DND type game wonderlands could have been there biggest money grab every DLC could have been a different story the game didn't need dungeons after dungeons after dungeons once you beat the game that's it there's nothing left to do there's no NG+ there's no story DLC there's nothing at all which ruin the game for some many people like it's sad when a mod made by a few people brought back so many players because it changed the game and everything it's just really sad
I just hate it because they artificially inflated the play time by adding those effing dice to get only a meager 2% better loot chance.
Not really a hot take if the entire community shares your views.
When the massive nerfs hit the games and people freak out, they said that they will leave the game. Those are the players we want gone from the community pool. A game where the whole point is farming all kinds of weapons and armor being reduced to a handful of viable weapons and shields is not a fun game. That being said, if gearbox could do their jobs correctly, we wouldn't need such severe nerfs.
I dont mind slag because you would just use it no matter what anyway. The health regen did need to go though
also, bl1 corrosive actually made enemies take more damage and also deal DOT damage, slag from bl2 and corrosive from bl1 are sorta the same thing, but corrosion is simpler
BL3 had some the most interesting and fun dlc experiences.
I've got two!
Firstly tannis isn't tannis at all I borderlands 3. She's not crazy, obessive or introverted at all and just seems sane and normal.
Secondly, borderlands 2s graphics are pretty up close, but when you look into the distance, the lines are too thick and it becomes hard to look at. Borderlands 1, 3 and wonderlands don't suffer from this, but borderlands 2 is very hard to look at. That's not even mentioning how the sunrays literally stop you from seeing anything in front of you
For me Borderlands 3 is unplayable (and even Wonderlands sometimes) because of all the visual clutter, and explosions, and laser beams of amped weapons, etc. The thing is that I get really sore eyes and even bad headaches if I play more than 2 hours of the game at high level. So I can only enjoy the couple first levels before I physically have trouble playing the game. I don't want them to necessarily remove all of that in BL4 but maybe put a way to diminish it for accessibility.
Yo that sucks. Is that like a miniature version of epilepsy?
@@Khroniclas Nah, that's migraines with photosensitivity
@@asAKIOra9715 Oh that's what I have, more flashy rainbow stuff on screen doesn't make it worse for me at all.
For me it just matters that there is light, brightness/intensity does affect things.
For me it helped immensely to start wearing theraspecs migraine glasses. Was hesitant to get them first, wasn't sure if I should trust their "decades of research" or if it was a too good to be true scam. However, it worked like a charm for me. Migraines reduced to such extend that I have not needed to take any repressive meds in over a year.
@@Khroniclas That is really awesome! I will definitely check them out and try a pair. I'll even test it with Borderlands 3 and a radiation build to test it to the max haha
@@asAKIOra9715 G.luck buddy, hope it works as well for you as for me.
I love these games but here's a hot take I personally feel is true. Maybe I use to not think about this but lately I realize that these games take almost zero skill to beat. Your shooting skills mean nothing in these games because it's all about what level you are or what level your gun is. If you're a super low level then good luck beating enemies or bosses that are really high level. It's literally impossible in a lot of cases and no FPS skills can save you.
Part 2 but talk shit about TTW
The wasted potential
The sadness after the hype
The nothingness I feel for this game.
My spellshot is the only thing that brings me back briefly.
Curse you Randy.
Oh yea the game I paid for the DLC and didnt make it 2 weeks after release before I uninstalled and 100% forgot about. I didnt even make it past like 3 or 4 levels of whatever that end game BS is called. Sad its actually a Borderlands spinoff bc its actually hot garbage.
Zane lines take much longer to grow stale on you
Literally the only thing i like about that shit game is zane
Agreed
Hot take: the millennial humor is ruining borderlands.
I love B2. But even I got to admit its a bit overrated nowadays.
Hot take, borderlands TPS was far and away better than 1 or 3
Now, if I had to say a good thing for each of them after the pre-sequel is borderlands two did well for story and comedy, borderlands, three did well with gameplay and build diversity, wonderlands was best for quality of life when it came to spawning right next to any save station after traveling back to basically their version of sanctuary. Then using a portal to travel back right back to that safe spot after doing whatever you needed to do in sanctuary. Oh also not to mention introducing melee weapons in Wonderland.
Now, if the fourth game had all of these features, it would be amazing.
Agreed! BL4 needs the story character quality of BL2, gameplay and builds of BL3, Endgame of BL2, Character skill creativity of Pre sequel, and wonderlands melee weapons and QOL changes. I feel like all of these things aren’t asking for too much and seems very doable for gearbox.
The Pre-Sequel was written by Anthony Burch who also wrote BL 2. He did not write for 3
11:07 How to get cancelled by community speedrun
1 Grinder was a great thing and with community patch it's perfect
3 I think BL series is best schlooters, but you need to hold me at gun point to choose one best 😂
4 I like UVHM, but not OP levels and not playing through the game three times in a row
5 TPS has best Vault Hunters. Athena is my fave forever, full stop
6 Just want to say that additional movement options are a big thing that was missing for me in BL1 and 2 and that OZ kits are much better than Relics
9 ( if I didn't lose the count) I HATE the way cosmetics work in these games. I feel like there's too many great options they could've implemented, but never did. I feel like if I'm going to get a bunch of heads instead of weapons I'm going to learn how to mod these games just to disable skin and head drops completely
I agree with Athena, for me she is the perfect character for a noob in the series; she can heal with her skill, she can block incoming damage and give them back while still shooting and the skill that she is center around only ask you to hit people with fire or electric, that's it, no "shoot the ground, never recharge" type of deal, and still she is not stupid broken like Salvador or Jack
@@AmarantFFO I like her, because she's an elemental damage Goddess and encourages swapping weapons constantly (and hoarding), which is perfect for my play style. Also maybe she's not as broken as Sal, but Maelstrom Athena is a freaking beast
Hot take eva is over hated and had potential but It was wasted
Crossive in bl1 gave you a damage up on that guy like slag. Thats what he ment. The damage up isn’t a lot though
Yes part 2 please
Hot take before bl3 lilith was an A teir character
Slag is annoying, but! BL2 did have the longest lifespan of any BL game, simply due to having higher level challenges like OPlvls, without these the game would have died off like BL1.
I mean at least in bl1 I didn’t have to refarm my gear after the latest update lol
Bought Bdl 3 deluxe edition for 32 bucks on Xbox. Great deal! I love the game but dialogue drags and wished more versatility within guns. Out of the hundred or wtvv. Only few are used all across
BL3 has by far the most viable weapons of any BL game. There are some that are better the others though.
Real hot take, the story is not important at all. I’ve been playing these games with dialogue muted for a while now, and it’s the best way I’ve found to play enjoy the games. Cause uh………. The jokes are cringe, like REALLY cringe. I’m not just talking about BL3, I mean the whole series is full of awful jokes.
Once you mute the audio and just focus on the GAME part of the game, turns out they’re actually a lot of fun. It’s why BL3 is my favorite, despite having the worst story out of them all. The gameplay feel is just above the rest
So, the vibrancy in bl3 makes sense since you're going to different planets. Yeah, promethia is going to be colorful since it's a metro, whereas eden 6 is desolate.
Speaking of, eden 6 is the worst slog in 3. It has good bosses though.
Finally, Ava wasn't that bad. Yes, she's cringey, and loud, and annoying. But she's a teenager, it makes sense.
I'm going say no if gearbox was actually trying make ava believable then there has be something that would actually benefit our fight with twins massive aswell way and aswell have likeability charm : not annoying or foolish that we actually have still.
BL3 has too damn many particle/visual effects.
I dont hate slag. I hate the amount of enemies that are immune to slag, which are bosses. Dukino's Mom and Saturn are an absolute chore. They have armor hp, a shitton of it, with HP regen, and you cant slag them, and you cant crit Saturn. I have 650 stacks of anarchy with a corrosive fibber and bee, and i cant take them down at OP8. Thats absurd. When the lilith dlc dropped i literally could not get my gaige to OP10
Op levels are unbalanced, I can agree with that and not for everyone but a good build can be slagless in standard UVHM and you'd only have to use it for bosses which would make sense
Edit: I guess that's my own hot take. Slag isn't 100% needed for standard UVHM
corrosive in bl1 actually added a dmg boost on enemies that was alot less
the entire game wasnt only sirens
that was a plotpoint but it wasnt this insane until bl3
in bl1 it had basically no weight
bl 2 had sirens but they where more a plot device
bl ps i dont rly think had sirens
and then hits bl3 where everybody is a siren EXEPT the 1 you play
eridium doesnt come from sirens either
How can you say bl3 had next to none of Brick, Mordecai and tina, when bl2 had the same thing. You rarely ever see tina and I feel like adding another dlc based around tina wouldn't feel original. Brick you just see him say "Hey Slab!" and thats it. Mordecai is the only person who gets involved in bl2 after roland dies
I have actually never played BL2. Only played BL3 and I thought it was amazing (imo the story sucked). Maybe I should give it a shot. Destiny 2 isn't doing it for me anymore.
If BL2 was remastered with better graphics, reworked difficulty, fixed bugs, rebalanced vault hunters, and even more DLC, released with a subscription live update system similar to Diablo or World of Warcraft, and more engaging and larger raid bosses with increased lobby size, it would become a major player in the modern gaming landscape. The formula for success was almost mastered by Gearbox a decade before anyone else.
Ya said the grinder was a good thing... WTF did you just say.??
My luck socks I could do without. Ugh not doing that again all those moonstones.....WASTEDD!!
Putting Wonderlands below Borderlands 1 for not having endgame is just extreme bias. More than 70% (Steam achievements) don't even reach lvl 50, let alone play endgame.
Corrosion was a debuffer in BL1. If the enemy had a corrosive dot it took 15% more damage
I was so young when I first played B1. Corrosive was my favorite. But thats only because I loved the color green. 😂
This one isn’t a hot take but I wanted to say it anyways
Borderlands 3 is the worst game in the series by far. The only positive it has is minuscule quality of life changes. It jeopardizes the future of the franchise and unless they go back to the BL2/PS/BL1 model our beloved series will die. Newer isn’t always better!
True, BL3 it's the FF XVI of that franchaise, it shifted it into something it never was
@@AmarantFFO glad someone gets it!
I liked the concept of Anointments, but they shouldn't have eclipsed the main damage output of the guns altogether the way a lot of them did. The Enchantment system in Wonderlands actually did a lot to rein that in but still make them feel impactful; not necessary to build around entirely, but still helpful to have than not.
Welp for me, i dont like grinding like killing the same boss to get a weapon with a super little chance is can stop being a fun part and turn in to a waste of time ( i tried to use mods to see if can help but in the end just turn everything boring), i hate the how the combat turn in to a enemies turn in to a bullet sponge and the PC dies in one or two hits, i dont mind the tvh or OP levels and i think tvh should be a difffucult setting that you can choose from the start of the game, raid bosses fights (in bl2) just sucks is the 8 or 80 situation or you kill the boss fast or you het pulped by him and for the story and feels about the game i think they need to turn down the comedy and self aware (this is probably not a hot take but eh).
