So you can't play with friends? Isn't that like half of the fun of Bonerlands?
...where are you guys finding friends?
Can't complain about the single player half of the fun at the price of free, though.
The game is so old, it should run fine even in a VM.
Tbh i never played the series with friends so i wouldnt know, was just fun collecting guns shooting things and hacking in super combos.
I've pretty much only played BL2/BL3 with someone else. It's so damn fun, especially the Arenas.
But I guess not any more. 😮💨
That’s a shame, because the series truly shines with multiplayer. It turns a grindy incremental loot game into a reason to hang out with friends.
Probably a tenth of my friends list on Steam came from joining random public Borderlands games, and just hanging out with whoever happened to be playing.
this is 50% factual in that coop is 100% the reason for the game franchise existing and succeeding. BL2 is pretty much the peak of the series too IMO, this is such a weird and dumb move by Gearbox, just trying to profit off useful hype for BL4, reminding people what it might be like in a timely manner is profit enough on release, but they wanna act like we don't know what they're doing. I can't tell if this is to kneecap the fanbase's expectation of good multiplayer ahead of time, or what. Let's just say I'm skeptical they're giving away a janky version of BL2 because they're extremely confident their new release will do well, pretty revealing to me.
