Comment on Borderlands 2 improved on everything I liked from B1
A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 2 months agoTwo (well, three) things later games improved on, for all their faults: slag and the map. 3 removed the former and vastly improved the latter, as well as the split screen menus being actually legible. Slag was really just a damage gate that felt obligatory on everything endgame, and the map became 3D and much easier to parse quickly.
I’d forgotten about those kinds of issues with following some quests, that was definitely irritating too
Still, I love BL2

That’s so funny I assumed slag wouldn’t work on bosses and never tried the whole way through.
Haha, I guess that would have made it easier.

Yeah, once you’re on your second and third playthroughs of New Game + it’s obligatory for everything gig. You’ll want a good slag weapon to swap to constantly. Which is very irritating with only 4 slots, it becomes harder to cover all your bases.

Okay, that’s good to know, thanks.
I’ve switched to the siren and I’m just using a sniper rifle right now, but I’ll keep that in mind for when I start getting my ass kicked.

Have fun! Siren’s always my first playthrough and she’s awesome in BL2.
