what is interesting is that they both had similar length of development, SS was apparently almost 9 years, so development cost could actually be somewhat similar depending on studio size

i hate to say it but the mixed reviews are deserved
the acting is great, but i didnt care for the overall story and it was already hard to understand in its disjointed form
also for a game that is based on watching videos, the experience of watching the clips is just awful - some keywords you search will drop you at the end or almost at the end of the video, and you will have to slowly scrub back (up to 7 minutes back sometimes) extremely slowly
basically spoiling yourself on the video and wasting your time

These are from artifacts right? I never actually did a run with artifacts
Yeah! They're not too hard to get, but there's only like 3 out of the 12(?) that are useful
signal kayak
Artifacts are easy enough to unlock, but you need codes for each (they're fixed, so you can look them up and save a fair bit of trouble)
Artifact of Command is considered busted, but also the most fun as you can define a build that way (or simply make yourself as stupidly broken as you can)
graceful galleon
Yep I looked up a few codes and unlocked some. I'll prob play around with command to learn item synergies
signal kayak
Most of the others can simply make the game harder
lost igloo
I really want to get RoR2 to 100% achievements also, but the mercenary achievement stands in my way.
You have to complete the daily trial as as merc without being hit... And the trials use random artifacts. So I would need to be done on one of the days with artifact/level that allows it. So it's not gonna happen
signal kayak
Yeah, that one achievement is just sadistic
signal kayak
You've got to do a no-hit two stage run where you have to destroy crystals that explode when they're destroyed (gotta use i-frames from some of your attacks) and at the end there's a boss
The stars have to align so the run has good items, they're well placed, good artifacts (if possible, Kin, and the only kind of enemy that appears is melee) and of course, lots of skill
At least the prize for finishing a trial, no-hit with Merc or not, is a pretty good item
Iirc the seeds also change from one platform to another, so good luck if one platform has a good seed but you're not in that one

hopefully hopoo makes deadbolt 2 LOL
tame veldt
there were screenshots of duncan from hopoo from 2022 acknowledging gbx's rep but tbf gearbox did a lot of help on sotv and all the content they contributed for sotv was amazing
and i think they just assumed they would continue doing that
and not completely change the codebase
cause my opinion (and i think the general consensus) is that the dlc is good
forest rain
oh i cant upload images nvm but yeah
tame veldt
its just the bugs and the programming related issues are abysmal
forest rain
yeah the dlc itself isnt that bad

the new stages are beautiful and i think the new characters are really fun even if their animations are a lil clunky

most of the characters from base game had something changed that is so broken beyond belief

the grapple sucks now cuz my laptop sucks
a lot of things got tied to fps
the grapple is unusuable lol
tame veldt
no its not loader is unplayable
yeah i know i mean that in solo seeker is the most bug free. cause she has little dependency on the physics and othert hings that were changed.
which maybe she does its just that since she's new i dont have a comparison
like loader
tame veldt
the grapple sucks now cuz my laptop sucks
yeah i feel for the people who cant run above 30 fps

theres a lot of non character related code that also got borked
so its a massive cesspool that no one knows where it ends

Roland was just taken by surprise, ||Maya|| couldn't do anything to avoid that ||and that stupid brat just had to go with her and be a nuisance and the brat getting Maya's powers is the straw that breaks the camel's back, we don't want a brat instead of a great character in Maya||
clear python
i didnt really care about ava nor found her annoying (that is, more annoying than a typical annoyingly written child character would be) but i find the scene worse than roland's death in the sense that it's so utterly random
at least roland dies in a general high-stakes scene close to the end but ||maya|| is just like... gone in the middle of the game, floating into an ocean of terrible writing until you hit the edge of randy pitchford's infinity pool and plummet into the sun the worst ending
fathom juniper
but troy taking maya's power actually was way more interesting than...
roland just forgetting to put on his shield
or all vault hunters just standing there doing nothing like

i mean that's just the superhero logic and i absolutely hate it (it's the reason i can't watch these kinda movies) but ig that's just the style of the game; both in roland's and maya's case
could be, but maya is a pretty blank slate which might've been a better fate after all, imagine her being firehawk 2

everyone who? i still find Roland's scene unnecessary and stupid. for me he was, like, the main character of the series along with others, and i didn't got from the three games why are everyone so confident about Lilith's forced superheroism.. for me she's on the same level, just happened to get more fame in game universe, not real life

maybe, but its significantly less contrived to happen
twin yarrow
it seems fine, after the years of putting up with this, but at the moment it had the same feeling
ten years later people will be okay with Maya
fathom juniper
yeah cause in bl4 the arbitrary death RNG is gonna hit lilith or something
and THEN i'll start praising it lmao
hybrid jetty
I can believe that "Jack's gun just really killed that guy by surprise" more than "four vault hunters stand around and do nothing"
clear python
nooo not my flame mane wife!!!
fathom juniper
I can believe that "Jack's gun just really killed that guy by surprise" more tha...
they do that in both scenes!
twin yarrow
also, believe it or not, there were people who associated themselves with Maya and hoped for her story to develop more, since there were so many build-ups before
from her backstory to all the Krieg romance thing
yes, im speaking on behalf of my friend, so what
fathom juniper
also - i can spin it the other way and say that i believe that a character that was established to know how to leech powers from others does that to maya more than this super tacticool army dude forgot to pack his most basic gear to combat
hybrid jetty
"why didn't the shield save Roland" is like, a "why didn't they use a phoenix down on Aerith" type argument
at a certain point you have to suspend your disbelief of game mechanics in order for the story to have literally any stakes
fathom juniper
why are we still arguing about this lmao
twin yarrow
i can be salty for both her mains be destroyed
fathom juniper
from her backstory to all the Krieg romance thing
yeah THAT
THAT'S the thing that sucks
cause they had an opportunity to do something actually interesting here
hybrid jetty
yeah it's a huge waste of Maya's character to kill her so early in the way they did
just so they can have Ava around
fathom juniper
eh
no matter
all those stories are crap
let's move on cause right after that i got to eden 6
and that place is just 
also
monke
twin yarrow
we already moved on, we'll not touch the game lol
to be honest, i like the villains whom you want to hate
fathom juniper
yeah i'd say they're decent villains
twin yarrow
like, maybe, Dio from JJBA or Flowey
fathom juniper
i just wish this series stopped with the damn sirens already
and making vault hunters holier than thau heroes
and went back to just...
space murder hobos
twin yarrow
or
twin yarrow
explaining the thing with sirens deeper, instead of just making a rotation
hybrid jetty
i just wish this series stopped with the damn sirens already
clear python
or im going to bed
shall i tuck you in
hybrid jetty
heyoo
fathom juniper
no
clear python
aww :(
hybrid jetty
I dig the sirens they're cool tbh
twin yarrow
i'll just say, sometimes writing turns the hate not towards the villains, but the authors
to some extent that can be understood
hybrid jetty
I loathe so much of BL3's writing but I think the villains were definitely the best part
it's a shame that they're forever going to be overshadowed by handsome jack
not helped by the fact that they won't move on from him
twin yarrow
yeah.. all that makes nobody better
clear python
"somehow, handsome jack returned"
