When will studios learn that bigger isn't always better? What is een the point of 30 million guns in a game.

>>717987239 (OP)
>add 100s of useless prefix and suffix
We got billions of guns!

>>717987239 (OP)
>Wahh I wanted to own all the guns
Lol look at this guy

They're still peddling this line like anyone is impressed by it.

>>717987239 (OP)
>30 billion guns
The only guns that players would even care about for late/endgame stuff would only be legendaries and higher rarity stuff if its gonna be like 3, where blue/purple unique weapons barely exist or are barely useful.

>>717987239 (OP)
Imagine having thirty billion items in your inventory and trying to sell twenty billion

>>717987239 (OP)
Are any of the good though? Guns in third felt like trere's around 9 guns and quadrillion flavor variations on those. Except for legendaries, those were crafted thoughtfully

3 was so bad for legendaries being better than anything else. It was a whole other league.

Legendary should signify a unique behaviour, not "unique behaviour and 50% more damage alongside it".

Also are they counting each level variant as 1 gun or is that 30bil per level?

>>717987239 (OP)
damn that nigga got big lips

>>717987239 (OP)
>over 30 billion unique guns
so like 50 guns where a randomly selected 256x256 area from a randomly selected massive random pattern image is what is used for the gun's texture
do people still fall for this shit?

>>717987239 (OP)
>get super duper rare gun
>retarded gimmick slapped on it making it useless
Why am I getting screwed all the time

>>717987239 (OP)
American billion or European billion?

All the guns
Only four of them are good

>>717987239 (OP)
If we fuse the 30 million guns of borderlands 4 with the infinite quests of Skyrim we'll have the perfect game!

>>717987239 (OP)
I like how developers try and sell procedural generation as impressive.
And retards buy it.

>>717987239 (OP)
I remember when BL1 came out and it was the first big looter shooter and they used the 6 billion guns tagline everywhere.

>>717987239 (OP)
I only play stuff like Super Laura.

>>717987317
That's all IRL gunowners

>>717987239 (OP)
By comparison, Borderlands 1 had like 17 million gun variations...
99% of them are garbage you never pick up or sell while never touching them, 0.9% of them are ones you use to get through the game, then 0.1% are the actual good ones because they're legendaries or whatever higher tier bullshit.

>>717987983
>retard has no idea what he is talking about

>>717987239 (OP)
THAT'S THE POINT OF THE FUCKING GAME
THE POINT IS THAT THERE'S TONS OF GUNS TO USE
THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE POINT OF BORDERLANDS
THAT WILL ALWAYS BE THE POINT OF BORDERLANDS
YOU FUCKING RETARD

>>717987239 (OP)
Literally means nothing with randomly rolled stats/modifiers

>>717987239 (OP)
Dug up this pic from over a decade ago

>>717990812
Heh

>>717987239 (OP)
Yes a +15 dilator is a different variation from a +13 dilator.
I hate goyslop so much, this whole Industry needs to burn.

>>717987239 (OP)
>30 billion piece of trash to pick up and sell
fallout 4 already released a decade ago

>>717990754
And it always was the same fucking pistol you used for 10 pistols in a row with the same handling, same audio and same design, only this time it's a slightly different shade of red, deals like 10 more damage and shoots fire bullets

>>717991109
Maybe in BL1, but in every game afterwards the guns feel more distinct and unique, 4 especially is making the weapon part system create guns that have a fuckton of potential variety.

>>717987239 (OP)
And it will feel like seven because of the company gimmicks.

>>717991226
Hello, marketer kun

>>717991389
If you don't play the games why are you even talking about them?

>>717991226
>every game afterwards the guns feel more distinct and unique
>BL2
Oh boy, I sure love that they introduced a melee focused character and every melee gun now has only a 50% stat bonus, unless you get one of the only two guns exclusive to missions, neither of which actually work with his other skill trees

>>717991985
Nice job not mentioning the guns at all beyond the blades attached to them.

>>717992070
>less melee viable guns
>That doesn't count!
ok

>>717987239 (OP)
>gun A does 5 damage per shot
>gun B does 5.2 damage per shot
>these are considered "unique"
>repeat 30 billion times
Yawn.

>>717987239 (OP)
>variations
like 5-9 actual unique guns with retarded modifiers like exploding or elemental and shit

>>717987239 (OP)
To distract you from the CoD ganeplay, maps that are way too fucking big, and bland skill tree equip combos (compared to 2)
Doesn't matter, everyone who thought 3 was good will likely fine 4 to be "better", and it will unfortunately sell well like 3 did
>>717989352
Anon, do you hate "freedom" that much?

>>717987239 (OP)
>20 kinda mediocre barrels, 1 ridiculously OP one
>repeat this for stocks, receivers, prefixes
>this applies to legendaries that you have to farm for 2 hours to find one
I fucking hate diabloslop

>>717987239 (OP)
>29 billion of them will be used by nobody cuz they suck
i clap

>>717987923
>and 50% more
That was like the minimum, lmao.
If you get an early Legendary SMG from the brain guy, it does like 5x the damage of a regular SMG.

Gun design peaked in borderlands 1

>>717987239 (OP)
it's a natural corporatizing of major studios that we've been seeing for 2 decades now. even though games were always made for profit, the figureheads & devs were all actual gamers, so games were made to be played. now it's all corporate drones reading off the same script like it's wall street
>line go up, number get bigger. big success
indie & mid sized independent studios are the only thing carrying vidya in the 2020 era. i haven't played any AAA shit since rdr 2. that's right, not even pirated. they're just bland, uninspired, politically driven dumps.

>>717994404
Yeah they are completely stale and unplayable. Not sure how this gets past all the studioheads. I bought Battlefront 2 and feel like I already exhausted it 12 hours in

>>717987239 (OP)
I swear they better not make Legendaries that damn prevalent in the endgame like they did in BL3. 2 and the Presequel at least made non-unique Blue and Purple guns viable.

>>717987362

Also it's incredibly disingenuous. It's just math shenanigans.

If you have enough types of combinable parts, you can get to have thousands of combinations with relatively few unique parts.
