Borderland 4

 

IS NOT GREAT

    BL4 is not enjoyable. I tried to like it, I really did, but it just wasn't happening. The guns were weak, the Vault Hunters are mid., and the vaults themselves are side quest.

    I don't know a lick about game building, I do know a fun game when it's placed in front me. The VHs are strong, in the opening, nowhere else. Harlowe is the only ones worth focusing on due to skills that easily melt enemies. Vex is my personal favorite, just because of her clones, her familiar, and the fact that she's a GOTH siren. Quest can be replayed, but at what cost? There are no unique weapons because every weapon is unique, only legendary weapons have red text and unique firing patterns.

    Vaults are side content that hold small abilities, but making it to the end is another story. It introduces new enemies that you have not been introduced to unless you've focused on the story before clearing them. They're aren't hard, just annoying. Really, REALLY ANNOYING!!! Eridium crystals grow out of their bodies causing them to be invincible. Destroying the crystals let you damage them, but only if all crystals are removed and if you stop them from regenerating onto said enemy by shooting the floating orbs flying around.

    NOW THE VAULT MONSTERS. I'll keep this brief, bullet sponges. The first one I fought took all my shotgun, SMG, pistol, and rifle ammo. No matter how early you fight them, they will try to end you as fast as possible. 

Over all: save your money, play BL1/2/PS/3, and just watch someone else play it.
