PC I'm gonna play (almost) all the Borderlands games! (Should I do a second playthrough of the first tho?)

• Upvotes

The exceptions are the New Tales from the Borderlands, although I have this game, people say it's a shit story, and story is all of it, so I'm not going to play it, Borderlands 4, because it won't probably run on my old laptop, and almost all the dlcs, because I don't have the majority of them.

I've already did one playthrough of the first Borderlands, and it was pretty great, with an awesome gameplay loop, which carried me through this game for 17 hours across a week, but the story and soundtrack didn't really get me, I just thought it was really stale. I don't know if I should play the dlcs because I'll have to replay the game for a second time (something I always never do), and I really wanted to get on to Borderlands 2 (and I've still got like 7 games left to play lol).

That's it, I'll come here again to tell you guys if I've succeeded in my journey

Loving borderlands 1 I am absolutely LOVING this series and I’m only on the first game

80 Upvotes

so, I’ve always been aware of the borderlands franchise, especially after the Fortnite collab back in like 2018? 19? something like that. but I’ve never actually played the games. until like a year ago I was messing around with BL3 on a friend’s console. had no idea what I was doing but the art style and the music had me HOOKED. flash forward to my birthday and my uncle bought me the collection. it’s called either the pandora or psycho collection, idk, it’s the one with BL1-3 and the 2 tales games. earlier this week, I finally decided to start my journey by starting the first game.

and I. fucking. love. it. dude. this game is awesome. I’m only level 20 right now but i am having the time of my LIFE. the art style is immaculate. that grimy, mad max, wasteland energy combined with the cel shading and line work is absolute eye candy to me. it totally sells and compliments the vibe and personality of the game. I love the humor and how it isn’t afraid to be crass and grotesque. every line of dialogue makes me want more. the gameplay is super fun too. I love the quest aspect. ofc the story quests but the optional quests, I love grinding those too. I love the looting and the gun collecting aspect. I love trying out every weapon I can get my grubby little hands on. I love fighting my way through waves of enemies in these amazingly designed environments, and speaking of designs, holy fuck the character designs are great. Claptrap has become one of my favorite characters. I personally use Lilith and I love her design. And the enemies, oh my god the enemies. The psychos are so iconic, but the other enemies too are amazingly designed. Easily one of my favorite aspects of this game is how much it can get a “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT??!!” reaction out of my whenever they throw some new, delightfully gross looking creature at me. The human enemies look so cool. I love their vibe.

overall I’m absolutely loving this game so far. I can not wait to see what this series has to offer. I can not wait to play the rest of the games, and I can’t wait to become a part of this fandom.

[BL3] How does the weapon scaling work?

5 Upvotes

I got some golden pistol at the first 8 hours of the game with level 10 and 176 score and its still stronger then all weapons i come across. Then i see weapons with like 250 score and level 18 and they are just wayyy worse. Is the color really that important and how do they scale with their score and level?

[BL1] Would anyone be interested in a "Borderlands 1" from the ground-up remake?

15 Upvotes

I loved the first Borderlands, got the remaster, and did a replay of the remaster. Love it to bits. However, I would also like a game that takes the first Borderlands game and gives it the QoL of modern Borderlands games and maybe gives each of the Vault Hunters skill trees that branch more like BL3 or BL4.

They could have it be a retelling, or have it be someone telling the story of the first BL but really badly so a lot of things that didn't happen do happen. I feel there is fun to be had with such a direction. And it's not like we're going to get a BL5 anytime soon, so it would be a nice middle game between entries. Kind of like how Wonderlands helped give us Ordnance with cooldowns instead of grenades with ammo amounts.

[Question] Is it same cl4p-tp?

56 Upvotes

Is the CL4P-TP that first appears in Borderlands 2 the same character as the CL4P-TP from the Claptrap's New Robot Revolution DLC in Borderlands 1? (*I played a little bit of Borderlands 2, and now I'm playing the DLC for Borderlands 1.)

[BL2] I would love a Borderlands 2 II

0 Upvotes

I would love a "Borderlands 2 II", which, if taking place between BL2 and BL3, could wrap up the plotline of The Watcher plot from Pre-Sequel that they seem to have completely dropped. However, it would need to be written by Anthony Burch (writer of BL2 and Pre-Sequel). Use the Vault Hunters from BL2 with more robust skill trees and multiple action skill options like that of BL4.

I have a small problem

I started the new DLC in Borderlands 4 and played far enough to unlock the public events. I have now played and completed the public events several times.The problem is I haven't received any progress towards the challenges. Does anyone have any idea what I need to change, or is it a bug that's preventing it from working?

[BL2] I'm going to do something very silly. A Bandit Salvador playthrough.

25 Upvotes

Starting from level 1. Its gonna be all Bandit weapons all the time. Bullets, bullets and more bullets. Accuracy? Who cares! I got plenty bullets to spare.

Specifically assault rifles and shotguns. Obviously not playing for efficiency here but I don't care. Its something different for me as I almost never use bandit weapons.

[Question] All games on Borderlands

0 Upvotes

Hello, me and my friend are planning to play borderlands from BL1 all the way to BL4. I was wondering if the collections below include every game, DLC, and cosmetics that BL has to offer. By everything, I mean everything, even stuff like BL Ultra HD and every pack.

So, I asked ChatGPT and it told me that Pandora's Box has everything the Handsome collection has. But I checked and Pandora's box doesn't have some things, such as captain scarlett and her pirates booty, mr torgues campaign of carnage sir hammerlocks big game hunt, collectors edition, and tiny tina assualt on dragon keep.

Here are the collections:

Borderlands Collection: Pandora's Box

Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-shot Adventure

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: Chaotic Great Edition

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands: Golden Hero Armor Pack

edit:

Since the Pandora's box includes everything on the Handsome collection, except for some technical improves, I removed the handsome collection.

Also, I removed Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep since its a standalone of a DLC already included in pandora's box.

Does anyone know if 4 has the same issue with small text in split screen?

0 Upvotes

I love Borderlands. Still play 2 as the ability to play cooperatively with someone solid screen on the PlayStation is super fun. In 3 there is an issue where the text is so small as to be mostly unreadable in split screen on the PS5. I am wondering if this has been fixed in 4. I don't want to spend $70 and not be able to use it but single player.

[BL1] Revisiting BL1. Currently on the first play through with Lilith

Feel like I’m slightly over leveled. At 31 with the main story mission at 27/28. Just beat the Rakk Hive with ease and going to Old Haven now.

What can I do to make it challenging?

Also what’s a good way to go about the second play through when I get there?

[BL1] Should I play BL1 Enhanced or normal?

I haven't played BL1 for a while.

The last time I tried Enhanced, it was a mess. Echo log Audio stop playing in the middle, mission objectives fails to updates etc.

Are these enhanced issues fixed?

What If They Add Omni-Movement To Borderlands 5?

0 Upvotes

Think something like Black Ops 6 or Max Payne’s movement but with extra steps like using meat shields and doing melee takedowns with a cinematic flare to them. I can see that working a whole lot given the crazy atmosphere.
