Today’s game is Borderlands The Pre Sequel. I had my friend play this with me again and we had a fun time. Though I can’t say we’ll be playing again any time soon. As 1) It’s absolutely miserable to censor the information to protect his privacy 2) He’s under leveled on our save due to losing all his progress to the cloud, so he has to go play a bit by himself to level up. Mostly the issue is 2.

I feel like I’m struggling a lot more with this too. Maybe it’s just too much Halo changing how I play, maybe it’s my fever addled brain, or maybe I’m just getting old when I’m only around 2 decades old.

I just found myself being knocked down a bunch though and having to fight to revive. Part of me wonders if I’m playing the game wrong. It strikes me as a bit RPG-Like, so maybe I need to grind.

I did settle into a steady play style though with this burst shot rifle and my other one being one that shoots electric bolts. It’s been good so far, even if getting downed is semi common. I think maybe i just need practice.

As mentioned my friend needed to level up more. So we didn’t end up playing more than an hour and a half. It was fun though despite the challenge we faced. Once he catches up I’ll definitely be doing this again (despite my complaints about the challenge of censoring them).

    I haven’t tried 4 yet. I’ve never really been obsessed and the groups I used to play through the originals with are long gone in terms of availability to play together and push through. Maybe it’s just my demographic and the realities of being an adult setting in. I’ll pick it up eventually though, probably in some kind of crazy deal once all the DLC is done and included like I did with 3.

    I still miss the rare gun grinds for BL2 and the amazing builds. Peak borderlands for me for sure. Didn’t touch the spinoff(s) or most of the DLCs over the years simply because the only way to get my friend circles on board is playing around release time when hype is strong.

    Next up is Nioh 3 though, with a satisfactory play through ongoing. So many amazing games nowadays. Borderlands pioneered a lot of combined systems that exist in these games. Satisfactory has it’s own roulette with hard drives. Nioh is absolutely going hard with the looter… martial arts…action and super abilities from the yokai side. Nothing but love for the BL franchise. I still remember them handing out the psycho class at pax east, back when giveaways actually happened for the masses at expos.
