Comment on Borderlands 2 improved on everything I liked from B1
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 months agoOh interesting I dug the weapons “upgrades”, as they were presented.
The elemental effects and reatore effects were much more balanced than 1 for me.
I do think the grenade to reload was a bad mechanic, but I can’t call it a gimmick since I don’t know any other games that had that mechanic.

I remember enjoying the elemental guns (Maliwan) a lot in both BL1 and BL2. It’s a shame it took till the Pre-Sequel to add ice!
I’d argue the throw-to-reload mechanic isn’t in other games because it’s a gimmick.
The other letdowns in BL2 were A) the Hyperion “reverse kick” guns that were only accurate after you emptied most of the magazine, and B) the 3-barrel Gattling guns with magazines that were way too small to be worth spinning up. I feel like these together were 25% of my pickups and just a waste of time.
Many of the legendary guns and unique grenade effects were pretty fun in BL2 though. Those were both solid improvements.
