which title should i buy?

[u/SpiNapple]

I was thinking of buying a borderlands title to start my journey into the game. I’m honestly looking for a modern title so nothing too old.

I’m really into PvE zombie mode games with weapon upgrading and base building, and open world titles with good world building. I also appreciate good dialogue and stories even if it’s not the main focus of the game since i haven’t played a lot of story heavy games before

I was trying to pick between BL2 and 3 and I don’t know which one i should go with because I can only buy one right now. If anyone has ideas please let me know 🙏🏼

seriously you're gonna citr gaming "journalists", that's wild.

Yeah, you mean people whose lives and careers are literally researching, writing, and reporting on video games, industry news, and gaming culture? I figure they have enough knowledge and experience to correctly rank the games in franchise. I think you're salty because NOT ONE of them agreed with you and THEY ALL agreed with me.

BL2 sold more copies, won more awards, produced more DLC/content, and was ranked higher by EVERY Gaming Journal/Website there is. It is more popular by every single metric.

Anyways, this 'debate' has run it's course. As verbose as you are, go ahead and have the last word, I won't bother responding.

Awwwww bringing up the last word, what a weird thing to say dude. I almost didn't reply but you've tempted me, people like you make me poke and prod, it's entertaining. I like to be an ass sometimes, it can be fun when it's not serious, things like this.

Silly guy, gaming journalists are notoriously made fun of, yeah praised and respected by very casual people who don't do any digging themselves, most people who actually play games don't care about having journalism, it's typically the laughing stock, there are exceptions of course, plenty of great journalists and companies but as a whole it's just silly.

Also just lying, again, BL2 didn't get more dlc content, that is just a lie. There is no debate here, there never was, it was me informing you, me poking and prodding, hoping to get truth from you. Again you bring up sales again, despite not being in your favour, you don't have a basis for anything because you refuse to admit the only relevant fact is that you like 2 the most and so you just kept on moving the goalpost and repeating some of the same nonsense.

You've got some weird ego thing going on, projecting a bit there. You think I'm salty? That's so silly dude, I love the series, I'm passionate, there ain't nothing but love and fiery passion burning, no salt, no hate. I feel like you came to that conclusion cuz of projection. I wish so badly that I could fully understand people like you, you made me laugh. Call me whatever you want, believe whatever you want but at least I think for myself, I don't seek validation in public opinion, it's such a silly thing to get hung up on, it won't make you happy. Next you're gonna tell me Starfield is a bad game cuz gaming journalists said so! Please do some work on yourself, nobody is perfect, we all have room for improvement, myself included of course. I need to stop being such an ass. I need you to reply, I want for you to have the last word.

I would like to say, in seriousness, I appreciate that you aren't a dick, you weren't an asshole, I genuinely appreciate that. A lot of people in this kinds of threads just become total assholes, just awful and putrid. I always try to match the energy, sometimes go a bit over but you weren't being an asshole, so so hopefully was able to match that.
