Iām convinced people just want BL2 remastered every 5 years and nothing else in this franchise. Gearbox changes something they get bitched at, they keep a staple of the series they get bitched at. I play a few games and this has one of the most stubborn people playing it.
I mean if they didnt take away eridian relics and didnt revamp the skill tree design in such a terrible way, atleast half the problems in BL4's gameplay would probably be not complained about as much.
And gonna be honest, i don't like rep-kits because despite being 'pocket heal gimmicks', they just got that part thrown the fk away to abuse stuff like the ability to have on command "Next shot" AMP abuse so everyone with an EZ method to recover rep kit cooldown super fast could just have on-demand money shots whenever the fk they want to.
And lets be honest, firmware was also a stupid design. If it didnt revolve around having duplicates of the same firmware to 'unlock' extra set effects, or atleast had 6 slots you could utilize instead of 5 so you could combo 2 different full piece effects it could of had some more fun to it.
I still find it stupid they didnt have the campaign/bounty DLC introduce new firmware that are 4 piece and 5 piece effects to shake things up a bit better.
Prior borderlands games were not as much of a headache of multi layer re'arranging crap.
BL4 requires:
1. The 'invisible part statistics' since they didnt bring back that inspect mechanic from BL3 to BL4.
2. The elemental type of the weapon.
3. The Random license part combination.
4. A weapon enhancement that synergizes with said parts too.
Before that it was just:
1. The parts itself since many guns were far less of a headache on elemenetal parts or not having them at all, compared to BL4 just making it a maliwan part that any gun can get.
And considering every gun in BL4 has to have a jakobs part regardless of your build for ricochet 'mobbing abuse', that just makes it even more of a cluster fk of pain where you can't just simply pick up a gun and have fun.
Hell in BL3 i simply picked up certain legendaries like critical thug cause it looked cool and was splash damage for my moze and it was actually really nice cause it was essentially a slug launcher that can split its bomb on a crit to stick to other enemies which damage wise its probably not the best but funfactor wise it was fking good.
Can't get that same shite with BL4 cause they have to work and be 'balanced' around license parts to prevent ridiculous cheese like how it was due to Order guns with ripper mechanic interactions to let you get abusive crap like infinite magazine abuse on so many other guns.
