    Borderlands 3

    Anybody getting it? Seem to have made some quality of life improvements, but they seem like they're still making balancing mistakes. I always felt there was little reason to have a skill tree and randomly generated loot when the scaling usually boiled down to few things being viable (or you're just handicapping yourself to a ridiculous degree) and everything they've released thus far leads me to believe they haven't remedied this issue. Historically the modding has been a nightmare for anybody that wanted to play with randoms which they didn't really address at all so there's not much reason to believe that's improved. Movement improvements are nice, so is asynchronous coop and instanced loot but that really only helps if you want to play with people you know since you can already tell there are broken builds that will trivialize the difficulty if you aren't one of those people who don't like being completely over-powered and able to kill anything in seconds and even the hardest enemies in the game in a few minutes tops with these broken builds when using non-exploitative builds you can literally burn every single round you have and not put a scratch in them. Despite the poor balance of the series I'm still looking forward to, but more for generic pt1 and pt2 and not so much the unbalanced endgame content that more or less pigeonholes you into a few specific builds that exploit stat stacking to achieve op levels of damages. With all the characters' skill trees reveal who's everyone's top choice in character for their first run? What manufacturer are people planning to have loyalty to? Personally if they get the balancing of survivability and damage for summoned objects I'll have a hard time not taking a Gunner Jabber so I'm planning on Fl4k, but if damage scaling and health scaling of non-player character objects is as bad as it has been in the past I'll probably just go with Zane. Zane is a more interesting character IMO and if the main draw of Fl4k is going to be completely useless at high levels like Deathtrap, Roland's Turret, Saint, Timothy's Digi-clones etc have been then that ruins his draw for me even if he doesn't really need the pet to be good. Zane can pull similar utility to Timothy Lawrence with his activation of Kill Skills on use of an Action Skill similar to how Timothy's Digiclones counted as kills to effectively keep his Kill Skills going without the need of getting actual kills though I'm hoping the Digi-Clone for Zane isn't paper since even if his base damage is garbage duplicating your own weapon with the capstone should fix that and I did want to play Timothy with his digi-clones originally they were just such utter garbage that they weren't worth investing in outside of the utility features like most of the Action Skills in the game end up just using their utility features rather than their damage aspects since they tend to do pitiable damage even if that's what they're meant to do. As for Manufacturers I like the sounds of the new Jakobs weapons, strong and rewarding for crits by ricocheting to another target I don't mind the negatives of having low mag sizes and long(er) reloads if they have the damage to make up for it I much prefer controlled fire to more spray and pray style gameplay.
  2. @Xyro Doors tend to be wood, if anybody questions why you're talking to them just say you're doing it so they'll grow either that or claim you respect the sacrifice of the trees for providing you with such a glorious gateway into another room of the house. Moral of the story is never apologize for talking to a door.
  3. Dragonball is just Journey to the West in anime form, Goku is Sun Wukong the Monkey King. As Mark Twain put it "There is no such thing as originality, just authenticity". At this day and age it could be said there are no original ideas left you're inevitably going to be able to draw connections to at least one other idea that predates if you look hard enough.
  4. Ratings don't reflect how you'll feel about something however if it isn't something you experienced then the only things you have are your research into the material and the opinions of others the latter in the form of ratings. By default my own research trumps opinion polls be it a movie, anime, or product since I know what I'm looking to get out of something, but ratings/reviews do hold some weight for me when ultimately deciding as more information is always a good a thing to have. When considering reviews and ratings however I tend to toss the worst and the best without reading them since the people those tend to be biased for one reason or another. For the low end they tend to be ratings or reviews where they were expecting one thing or another that it simply didn't live up to say they heard the show was X genre and it ended being Y genre and they don't like Y genre then the show will inevitably suffer a heavy handed review for the fact or those that rate it particularly high tend to latch on to one or a few aspects they really like and ignore the flaws it has not saying that a glowing review can't include the flaws as something that was far outweighed, but it's not typical that they do. Really the averages make the most difference to me than individual testimonials do. If a product or program receives a majority of reviews on the low-end then it probably doesn't work/break or in a show has flaws that are widespread enough that they hit a chord among a diverse population of customers/watchers whereas if poor reviews are the outlier and a rarity it's probably a fairly reliable.
  5. When the day is about 80 degrees you can expect the car to hit about 172 degrees in about an hour without ventilation, there's a good reason it's illegal to leave children and animals in a car and a merit to pre-ventilating a car before entering it for the first time in a while. On the plus side if you know you're going to be gone for awhile you can always cook dinner by just leaving it in the car. (Goes without saying, but just in-case don't try cooking with the ambient heat of a car)
  6. Not at all, Final Fantasy was never a series that interested me in the slightest. For the FF7 remake the gameplay looks somewhat in the milieu of hack and slash games with single button presses predominantly governing your attacks with the occasional change up to use a skill not saying that in and of itself is a bad thing, but I put it in a similar vein as Dragon's Dogma which had a broader appeal to me. Additionally I'm planning on getting Code Vein which which will have some similarities based on what I've seen from E3 of the remake.
  7. More likely than not simply passing through, but I'll be around for awhile at least. I do enjoy the occasional anime however I'm more of a gamer than anything. Currently looking forward to Borderlands 3 and Gears 5 hoping they won't be soul crushing disappointments like some of my recent anticipated games were.
