    I never even finished 3 because got seriously bored with it, and never had a whole lot of interest in 4, especially hearing how badly optimized it was. It just didn't look like anything worth the money to me, that's all. Then I literally forgot it has been out for a while because I was so disinterested.

    A former friend of mine voice acted in Borderlands 3. The moment I heard their voice I shut the game off and sold the disc back to the store, a long time ago.

    In a way, they spared me a lot of boredom. I like to think I put those abruptly-refunded hours into Clair Obscur.

    No, Tanis, you put them into a ton of failed Megabonk runs that you got slightly ticked off at, so the net effect emotionally was basically the same.

        Today on Horde Kitchen I’m gonna teach you how to make hot moldy cheese while being attacked on all sides relentlessly. Now, you’re gonna need to find a microwave, and once you do, slap that rotten cheese on in there and set it to high. Don’t mind the smell, it’s killing the audience around you as fast as it’s choking you out. Now when your cheese is cooked, cook it again. You can make cheese out of anything: sunglasses, keys, bracelets, if it’s food or spelled with the same alphabet food is spelled with, you can make cheese out of it. Oops, I just got touched by a random goblin who fell off the cliff I was standing next to. Until next time, on Horde Kitchen!

          I skipped 1, I adored 2 and played it to a harmful degree, I tried 3 and got bored after three attempts to get into it. There was a fourth??

          I mean, the second game was basically setting the thing up for a MMO open-world, group-mission-running/loot extraction type game across a huge, cel-shaded world with open PvP areas and wild custom characters... and they dropped the ball on that?

          Technically a 5th. There was one between two and three. Called Borderlands : The Pre-sequal. It wasnt that good either.

          Borderlands had two really solid games, and theyve been running from what made it solid ever since.

              No it was absolutely not. 3 was barely half the size 2 was. The first was bigger than the 2nd.

              Their How Long to Beat times are all a tight spread. Having just played through them all in the past year, I can tell you that the only thing that makes 2 longer than the rest is that it has more DLC.

                Borderlands was in essence an open world game. Two was so connected you could walk from the very beginning to the very end without any use of vehicles if you so chose. Borderlands 3 was the equivalent of Final Fantasy X.

                  If you say so. I can tell you I've been tracking my times pretty judiciously in the past year. For each of those Borderlands games, my times were:

                  • Borderlands 1: 23h17m
                  • Borderlands 2: 35h15m
                  • Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: 22h21m
                  • Borderlands 3: 35h25m
                  • Borderlands 4: 28h26m

                  So I guess Borderlands 2 wasn't longer, like I may have remembered it. In each case for the above, I basically just did enough side missions to keep pace with the recommended level of the next main story mission, which amounted to a few hours per game. All of those times include the DLC except for Borderlands 4, and the DLC is also very similarly sized and paced across games.

                          It's actually not terrible. Give it a shot if you can get it cheap enough.

                            It makes some sense, because basically no one has a Switch 2 anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

                            Edit : turns out my friends are just weird. No one around ME owns a switch 2, but I guess the overall market is different.

                              It's the fastest selling nintendo console but sure

                              the real reason is they cant optimize the game enough for it to run on sw2

                                  It is !? I have just checked and it is ! Wtf ? I used to always be able to tell how well a console was selling by just checking my friend circles (even then Nintendo was over-represented) so I am VERY confused that the console is selling well while I simultaneously don't know anyone who owns it 🤷🏻‍♀️

                                    Apparently it's doing really well in Japan and less well elsewhere, but its success in Japan was enough to more than make up for it and exceed their forecast.

                                      Not sure why people think the Switch 2 sales have underperformed, I have one, my boss has one, my colleague and her brother just bought one. Yeah, it's not as popular as the first, but it's still pretty damn popular...
