>whole point of the game is to hunt vaults
>you're literally called a VAULT HUNTER
>all vaults have 4(FOUR) common chests with shit loot
>these 4(FOUR) chests dont have an increased chance of rare loot
thats it??? we literally fight a huge monstrosity guarding the vault just to get fucked in the ass?. Vaults are supposed to be the most hype shit in the game, this is humilliating.

the vaults were the friends we met along the way, u can farm the bosses for drops

>>714250149
If that were true, shooting my friends would result in an explosion of loot. It does not.

lillith owes me sex

>these 4(FOUR) chests dont have an increased chance of rare loot
Yeah I remember that, that was real fucking lame.
>kill annoying as shit bosses
>not even a good chest

>>714250149
As much as I appreciate the ability to reliably get certain weapons, making farming drops the de-facto way to get legendaries is the gayest fucking thing ever
Why bother going out and looting stuff if you can just kill the Cockmeister twenty times?

the secret armory is the only time this game has had a good vault and that had a time limit

It was thematic in 1. The whole game is basically chasing an old legend on a backwater planet. It turns out vaults are real but it's just ancient ayy lmaos not infinite treasure or wish granting. You went chasing fools gold. It fits the dark dry humor the first game had.
2 fucked up because they took the complaint about 1's final boss to heart. Now you're an EPIC BADDASS HERO and you're immediately roped into a bigger plot to save Pandora which makes everyone calling you Vault Hunter sound silly, because Vault Hunter basically means hero now. 2's intro sequence is the only time it actually felt like Borderlands 1.
I don't want to talk about 3.

>>714254083
Its either that or im installing mobs that makes the drop 100%. im not farming to not only get the legendary weapon, but to get the RIGHT version of it that weapon that fits my class/build.

>>714255545
>mods that makes the drop 100%
the whole point of the game is to loot, at this point just play something else. retard.

>>714255596
No. I will get the right weapons and i while enjoy playing the rest of the game in my meta build. Be a cuck and spend hours farming.

>>714255681
this is the equivalent of playing a pvp game with cheats on, you're a niggerfaggot.

>>714255857
Rather be a nigger then a cuck. Atleast im doing the cucking.

>>714248964 (OP)
So what are they trying to do with the vaults in 4?

>>714254530
>that had a time limit
lol
lmao even

>>714256163
Making them more like the takedowns if the last gameplay showcase was real

>>714254530
>mfw that farm
>have to drive there EVERY FUCKING TIME
they couldnt even be bothered to do a QoL update

look what they took from us

Maya should've been the new commander instead of Lilith.

>>714248964 (OP)
First game was just riding on the coat tails of Fallout 3 success back in the day. Thats why the game has a "Vault" in it and why Crimson Lance looks like dollar store Enclave. They didn't really think that far ahead. The whole game was just an experiment built on top of Brothers in Arms engine, you'll notice it when you go behind any waist high cover in first two games and suddenly bandits have hard time hitting you.

>>714256338
Takedowns? I thought they are harnessing them for powers now

>>714256272
yeah I know but that was unintentional

My boyfriend introduced me to borderlands sometime last year and we’ve been having a lot of fun playing it together. A week or so ago I mentioned, admittedly a little drunk, that I find Handsome Jack kind of sexy and I’ve had a crush on him since we started bl2. My boyfriend got really upset about this and now he refuses to play with me.

>>714248964 (OP)
The vaults are primordial so of course they're shit compared to your latest hyperion giga exterminator 2000

>>714257462
Your boyfriend is a bitch if it was me I would invite you to jerk off together to Handsome Jack

>>714257462
i too saw that reddit post, fellow redditor.

The game is filled with inconsistencies, and change of rules.

The Vaults are supposed to have something amazing, and an impressive guardian to protect them.

In Borderlands 1, the Vault could be considered the richness. The guardian was a probably immortal being (in his own dimension), destroyer of universes.
In Borderlands 2, the Vault had the power. The guardian that you could control with the Vault, was enough powerful to win over a planet, when fully awakend.
For the Pre-Sequel, we had the knowledge. The guardian was interesting, as he had different forms and elements.
For Tales from the Borderlands we probably had the travel. The guardian could teleport where he wanted, probably in huge distances.

In Borderlands 3, suddently, you find too many Vaults, as they were not rare at all. The guardians mostly look just normal beasts. The style has changed from organic to geometric for all. And most importantly, the prizes within them make no sense.

Before we had the richness, the power, the knowledge, and the travel.
What we had now? I kinda forgot them.
Maybe one allowed you to use eridian artifacts (something the previous Vault Hunters could already do).
Another gave you a translator for Nyriad writings.
Another gave you a fucking brass knuckles to break eridium.
And the final gave you... A sort of reality augmented battle simulator? Is this even canonic?

These Vaults were just and excuse to let Tyreen absorb the guadians. Then in the end, she doesn't even need to fight the Destroyer to absorb him. She is just embraced by him, literally debuffing her by turning her to a giant blob easy to hit.
Tyreen at that point of story was supposed to be invincible. She had the teleport of Lilith, the phase lock of Maya, and her own absorbing powers. She could not be defeated.

Trash writing. Trash gameplay. Trash game. Good art though!

>>714260286
>trash gameplay
the gameplay is the only reason why people keep playing these games.

>>714248964 (OP)
Vaults are always a meme in the series.
>1 was a flat out lie, intentionally
>2 was used by Jack to try and kill you, no loot directly from it at all
>3 has a billion vaults and they all have horrible loot
>TPS has 1 and it's kinda cool but you're still ultimately there to fight a big ass boss more than anything
I wouldn't be surprised if the vault(s) in 4 are some troll or just an excuse to have a boss fight.

>>714251185
Only good post ITT

>>714261761
Compared to the previous ones, I liked it much, much, much less.
Strange dispersive feeling in combat. Stats all over the place. Legendaries everywhere that make almost every weapon not even worth looking at.
Also, I usually ended up with yet another Dahl rifle as my main gun.

>>714263289
It kinda sounds like you are complaining that the Vaults don't have items for the player itself (which is something that happens in B3, but you don't like them either).
The Vaults need to be something good for the story. The games before B3 did this right.

>>714255403
why are you retards keep comparing bl games based on story? who fucking cares about story in loot games!?

>>714248964 (OP)
Borderlands never solved the issue of its main loop. You collect guns so most of them have to be bad or mediocre because the game throws so many at you. This gets even worse since certain legendaries will outperform everything else for 90% of a playthrough so you end up using the same shit for about 80% of the time. And the endgame of Borderlands is made for the highest order of mouthbreathers. You farm a boss/mission over and over to get certain guns that you will then use to farm a boss/mission over and over again.

BL2 is $5 on steam
BL3 is $3 on steam

What happened? I only played 1

>>714266920
They regularly sell them very cheap. I got 3GOTY for about the same price as 3$.

>>714260286
The only right way to play the game is to mute the voices and ignore the story. Just shoot things and have fun.

>>714248964 (OP)
In BL1 the vaults were just the trope of "it's not meant to keep you out it's meant to keep IT in", hence why the magical "humans" randomly appearing throughout the universe and that always gravitate towards nearby vaults are called SIRENS, aka the mythological monster that lures people to their death by pretending to be human. The evil mega corps follow the Alien trope of "greedy corp frees eldritch horror to gain tech advantage". The entire "riches beyond understanding" and "vault hunters" was just a facade to make retards volunteer to find and open the eldritch horror containers that have driven entire armies insane just by proximity.

By BL2 they already abandoned everything and made the series about teen drama with guns.

Vaults don't matter.

Loot doesn't.

Story doesn't matter.

Nothing matters, except for who fucks who in what orifice. That you will be told ad nauseaum.

Remember that culture is now made by corporate bootlicks that never mentally graduated from high school.

>>714251185
This, but moxxi; Tina and Ava also. And Aurelia.

>>714261761
Because the gameplay is always good. Imagine a game is hat had borderlands pvp on a massive scale like Battleborn but wasn’t a failure. It would be awesome. Only reason Randy pulled the plug on Battleborn is because Blizzard blackmailed him to shut it down.

>>714248964 (OP)
nigga just install a trainer get six morbillion diamond keys and go open the lottery vault in your ship

>>714265953
Evrything is important, the story too, but I wish that was the only thing wrong.
