You don't mention the pre-sequel in this video. What are your thoughts about it?
-
BL 1 was peak atmosphere. BL 2 was peak story. BL 3 was peak gameplay/gunplay. BL PreSequel was peak Australia.
-
How they treated Maya in 3rd game was criminal.
-
You have charactets like rhys, a cog in the machine for hyperion who ends up going rouge on pandora, experiencing hardship and learning how the real world works, becoming a dependable leader rebuilding ATLAS from the ground up with a respect for the little guy, being one himself mixed with the nescesary ruthlessness he learned from jack. Now in BL3 he's become a whiny brat begging the vault hunters for help despite having a militarised megacorporation at his disposal.
-
The way this man explained the outline of borderlands 3's story sounded infinitely better then actually experiencing it
-
Borderlands 3 was basically: “How do you do, fellow kids.”
-
As a Mordecai player in BL1, when Bloodwing died in BL2 it made it personal, Jack went from that funny asshole that's shit talking from his space station to someone who hurt me. When Maya dies in BL3 I wasn't angry at the twins, I was angry at Ava for getting her killed and the writers for making the scene so stupid.
-
Roland dies: we get Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep, an absolute banger DLC that shows a kid mourning the death of a character that we all knew and loved, and her way of coping with it. Maya dies: we get a shitty 30 seconds speech and an annoying brat. What the fuck Gearbox...
-
as a main krieg it hurt me horribly how they removed the scene where he attends maya's funeral and simply left both his character and his arc in a forgotten corner, without the dlc just for a few facts he completely disappears from the story and I would have liked to see the conflict of the two parts of the character one wanting to fry Ava's face like a hamburger and the other broken by the duel.
-
Jack screaming "I AM THE GODDAMN HERO" is honestly the pinnacle of the franchise
-
It's worth touching on the fact that BL3 didn't just throw away BL2's story and characters, but it ABSOLUTELY threw away the presequel's story and characters.
-
If you play the Pre Sequel you will get so much more background on Jack. Dude was trying to do the right thing over and over again but got betrayed by everyone he trusted. He was just broken at the end and for a good reason.
-
BL2 was a 10/10 masterclass. Great story, gunplay and replay-ability.
-
The most disappointing thing in bl3 for me was the fact kreig was left to be a dlc and we have no reaction from him when maya died
-
I think my biggest gripe with BL3 besides the awful story is that it felt like the player was a spectator in the story. Whenever we got into a cutscene, it’s like we suddenly disappear making our presence in the story felt like it had no meaning at the end of it. You can literally remove the new vault hunters and whatever story that’s left can still stand on its own perfectly fine.
-
You say at one point “scooter the mechanic, his mom moxxi” but that should’ve been “half of Pandoras mom moxxi”
-
Jack is probably up there in my favorite antagonists, loved how the pre sequel went into his back story and you see his descent into madness
-
The cutscenes are also a big problem in bl3, characters that are supossed to be badasses end up being so incompetent and useless during the cutscenes. It was the opposite treatment they gave the vault hunters from bl1 to bl2. The Calypsos end up feeling non threatening or powerful because they just beat everybody while people watch with their decorative guns.
-
The writing of 3 made me appreciate the minimalism of 1 more, it's like the games are polar opposites in terms of story telling
-
I'm disappointed because in the TPS ending they said a war was coming and we needed every vault hunter we can get. Now most of the vault hunters are dead and no war was in BL3.
