That's not to say they don't get close, but it's very clear that it's not an attempt to innovate, it's an attempt to recreate. It's exactly what's on the package, Borderlands 2 made by a less experienced developer. I bet I'll end up playing it eventually, but probably not now. Maybe I'll just go play the DLC for the original, since I have it but never played half of it.
It's nice to hear that the dialogue is better. This game not being by Gearbox is what gave me hope that it would be good. Some of my problems with it was that your backpack could hold half as much as in Borderlands, and same for the bank, so you needed even more mules, and the opening was just so incredibly long and boring. I definitely played over 100 hours of Borderlands 2 as well. Hopefully the worlds open up a bit more soon, and the enemy types variate more. The story and new mechanics are the only thing keeping me going. Then again, this is coming from someone who put in well over 100 hours into Borderlands 2, so it's not surprising I'm bored already. Only a few hours in so far, but am finding myself bored already. So all these reviews that are saying "Yep, more Borderlands" make me want to know if it's more Borderlands or more Borderlands 2. When the Borderlands 2 reviews were all basically "It's more Borderlands" none of them mentioned how the level design and mission structure made it a worse Borderlands.
I probably put 200+ hours into that game, and I loved every second of it. Then again, the BL2 stuff never really bothered me. Similar to the Tiny Tina DLC from BL2, Brick and Mordecai chime in from time to time with their reaction to the story that's being told, e.g., "Jack did that? Maybe he wasn't as much of an asshole as I thought."Īnd so far (again, only 90 minutes in) I haven't noticed a ton of BL2 style humor. I also like how they're doing the story-telling (minor spoilers, I guess?): Instead of Marcus telling a story about the vault hunters, the story is told by one of the characters as they're being interrogated by Lilith and the gang. As mentioned above, the jump pads and "verticality" are a pretty cool addition. Everything definitely feels very familiar, but it feels like a faster start than BL2 - the first skill point comes at level 2 (maybe 3?) instead of level 5, and the new mechanics (low gravity, oxygen) are introduced fairly early on. I'm only about an hour and half in, but I'm enjoying it.
