People kept trying to sell me on Borderlands but the terrible gunplay made it so unfun. And the loot is just another thing to manage while you're not having fun.

I was thinking this when the first Borderlands came out. Everybody went nuts for it but it seemed like the most boring thing ever

Of course, the real killer for me was the humour dean-frown

Looking back, the writing of BL2 caused two moments of cognitive dissonance at different points in time for me.

First playthrough, I was tricked into thinking I was part of a mini-zeitgeist for gaming with all the epic references.

Second time around, years later, my good friend and I ripped it all to shreds and had a good fucking time!! But I still felt that clashing, sharpening stone-like feeling when everything collides.

Question for the jury: is Monster Hunter a loot based game?

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Getting materials, no. Grinding jewels, yes.

It is a souls like with with mmorpg elements.

RuneScape was like this. I think it was only popular because it was one of the earliest mmos in town in the aughts

What about Lute-based games?

[-] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

will madcatz or harmonix sell me a plastic one, or do i need an electric lute like for rocksmith

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

The Lute Hero and Madrigal Band games support plastic ones. You'll need an electric one for Lutesmith.
