I had purchased Borderlands 2 around about a year after it’s release date, the only content drop I had to deal with was Tiny Tinas Assault on Dragon Keep, I played 3 of the 6 VHs, even got one of them to OP8! That was cute, I had so much fun in Borderlands 2; I decided pre-order Borderlands 3 this go-around (which is never a good idea, even if the game is good).
I was gonna do it all this time around! I was gonna cap all the chars, I was gonna beat all the DLC, and I was gonna do it all within the game’s schedules.
I barely had my second char at 50 by the time Bloody Harvest dropped, I was in the middle of Zane for that Mayhem 4 event, and I was just behind level 50 on Mr. Fl4k by the time the Heist DLC came out. Perhaps it was foolish of me to assume I could take on such a task (I mean, just check out a calendar, me).
By the time I finished the heist on my first VH, Amara, they had changed how Mayhem weapons worked , the level cap increase was close behind, several skills and weapons recieved significant balance changes, and I still have yet to have gotten Fl4k to 50. I almost had an anxiety attack, so much work done, and so, so, much more to go. The game had choked me out, probably because I had bitten off more than I could chew in the first place. (I like to play everything a game has to offer, what can I say?)
I recently replayed borderlands 2, after losing my cloud data on steam somehow, and despite there being so much to do as well, I never quite got the in-over-my-head feeling that this game has given me.
This whole rant speaks nothing of the quality of the game, the content they added, or the changes they made, but I can’t help but wonder, does anyone else feel this game might just have too much to do? Irregardless of how unpopular my feelings might be, I’m still playing this ■■■■, and achieving my aforementioned goals, cuz I payed $120 for it or something, it will be the most bloody chore I’ve ever done.
