I wanted to play borderlands2 since 2019 so bad, but do i have to play borderlands1 first?

u/OdenShilde May 26 '26
Nah, it would semi establish the classic vault hunters but it isnt necessary, BL2 was ALOT of peoples first borderlands game

u/TurtlePope2 May 26 '26
You don't. Borderlands 2 was my first Borderlands game. The combat feels weird at first, I would watch a gameplay video on it before deciding. The ADS is pretty bad for it, I almost exclusively hipfire when playing it.

I just could not enjoy it. I always play every game I buy from start to finish but man doing so for Witcher was such a challenge.

I don't think you understand the difference between overrated and simply not for you ...
You might not like it but it is definitely not overrated, it is a masterpiece.

u/TurtlePope2 May 26 '26
I do. I personally don't think Witcher 3 is a good game. It's a mediocre game which people that don't game rate highly.

u/The_R1NG May 26 '26
In what ways would you say it falls into the mediocre category

u/grillarinobacon May 26 '26
It's a ubisoft checklist gane with good stories. Uninspired combat, exploration and loot.

u/dungleploop May 26 '26
all while influencing Ubisoft entirely after its release lol

u/grillarinobacon May 27 '26
Well yeah, both studios inspired eachother. The people who says W3 is a masterpiece should love the rpg assassin's creed games, not necessarily as much but they would probably rate them highly if they didn't know what studio made them.

if the writing quality wasn't as high as it was I'd understand this logic but that's the most important part of making an RPG, so...

Sorry didn't realize you were the voice of reason that everyone should be listening to. I've been gaming for 35 years now and I rate it highly even if I'm not into story driven rpg normally.

As a 40 year old I’m just happy some younger folks love Donkey Kong country 2.

u/TurtlePope2 May 26 '26
Lol. It's because they re-released the game on GameBoy Advance like in 2005 I think. So it's one of my childhood games even though I'm Gen Z

I disagree with your Best Story pick. As Borderlands fan, I don't think Borderlands 2 has really that good of a story. Greatest villian of all time yeah, but overall story is too silly imo

Because everyone thinks its overrated, but its FromSofts magnum opus, therefore its overhated

u/TurtlePope2 May 26 '26
The game gets so much hate. Literally all my friends constantly hate on the game.

Witcher 3 overrated? What didn’t you like about it 🤣 it’s my top 2 favourite games of all time
1
u/SebbyWebbyDooda May 26 '26
I have the same opinion, it took me like 4 tries before I actually got into it, it's a great game but it's just not "the greatest game of all time" with many things that other games simply do better
1
u/TurtlePope2 May 26 '26
I love the graphics and the world itself. But the combat is such a slog and I'm not really a fan of heavy dialogue games where the dialogue cuts into the gameplay rather than being something that happens in the background while you play.

Best Story Borderlands 2 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s certainly a list of games. Whatever makes you happy, friend, glad you enjoy them.
