Okay, Panel 4 was the one that I couldn’t spot the difference.

Panel 4 he says “hell yes” instead of “of course”

Don’t be the person on the internet who says they solved their issue without offering up said solution for other people who may have been looking for it.

In all fairness, this is an established rng formula that has existed before Diablo 2. Loot is loot, and there is something glorious about needing a rake to pick it all up, even if 99% is going to make the vendors cry.

If you want to see this formula in full chaos-mode where it would break the most hardened 40k marine, look at old Nox. If I’m remembering the right game, the mechanics were you don’t level. You just put on items with more adjectives. Eventually it gets to the point, with a persistent player, you don’t see item stats anymore, it’s just words filling the screen like a crime scene featuring a thesaurus.

The RNG loot is fine, the questionable part is inflating the numbers by pretending each slight number deviation is a separate weapon.

It’s as if the original pokemon had used its IV numbers to claim to have millions of different pokemon, instead of 150.

Bah, it’s the same thing as before but with the addition of that one friend who loves calculating everything saying how much the algorithm can spit out. If you can smile and shake your head at that one, what is the fuss with it now? You have always known piles and piles of fillers were there in other times it was used, it’s weird seeing people get fussy over it.

Don’t say the IV thing too loudly, I’m sure they will use it as a foundation to try suing yet another if you repeat it 3 times.

They been doing this forever. What is more annoying than loot however, are endings. When they say “Look we have 10,000 different endings, based off your choices!” Then it is like 4 actual endings.

Telltale Games 101 … your choice matters for the whole Story. You decide in the epic The walking Dead – spinoff Clementines fate. Will she have a pink hat or an orange one, does the right or left shoelace gets torn off and will the bandaid be on the right or left cheek ! Amazing dynamic Story !

I, for one, absolutely HATE the Borderlands franchise. And I tried so hard to play it, starting with game 2 which is supposedly and colloquially the best one out of the series. Didn’t like it. It’s just a lootbox shooter and one of the reasons so many video games have become so diminished gameplay wise.

But, hey, YMMV.

I liked 1 a lot and played it a ton.
2 got boring and I struggled to finish it.
Pre-Sequel I was so bored I didn’t finish it.
Didn’t bother with 3 and I won’t bother with 4.

Same, but I only played 2 with a group of friends who played one session and never gathered to play another. Didn’t even look into the pre-sequel.

People will endlessly agonize which shotgun version is better to equip. The +11% crit, -10% cooldown or the +10% crit, -11% cooldown.
You’ll see endless tables showing the averaged results of hundreds of matches with carefully controlled conditions for each, and the latter has a tiny edge over the former.
And then you get a +12% crit, -10% cooldown version. Or a complete oddball +20% crit, -5% cooldown and you have to redo.

People will love it.

Meh. Around the Presequel or Borderlands 3, Gearbox’s humorous guntopia formula kind of turned bland for me. I respect plenty of people will like it, but soft pass from me, at least anywhere near full price.

As a counterpoint, I enjoyed playing “find the difference” in this strip.

Of course, if BL4 is anything like BL2, it should have a handy “compare items” feature, that reduces comparisons to “Does this new item have more green stat text than my current item? Also, do I care about the improved stat items?”
