    Anyone else remember borrowing this from a cousin and never actually giving it back? I still wonder if he ever noticed or just gave up asking.

    Jacquet46

    Il l'a peut-être jamais rendu, franchement.

    NeonRider

    Vale, todos tenemos esa anécdota del primo que "tomó prestado" el juego, no hace falta que lo repitamos cada vez.

    NeonKnight12

    Ce souvenir est sympa mais ça ne dit rien sur sa place actuelle au classement, franchement.

  2. Kuphal99

    Bought this on a whim years ago expecting a kids game and lost an entire weekend to it.

    SilentKid2003

    Face à Borderlands 2, il a moins de contenu mais une identité bien plus marquée à chaque combat.

    CritRex56

    Whim or not, calling it overrated ignores how tight the combat timing still feels compared to most turn based games now.

  3. Carpentier2010

    Et on continue de le comparer à des open world comme Inquisition alors qu'il n'a jamais visé cette ampleur, ça n'a aucun sens de le juger sur ce terrain.

    Camille_25

    Ce n'est pas la même ampleur, non, mais l'ampleur n'a jamais été le but recherché ici.

    GhostPhoenix

    Le combat au timing tenait bien la cadence.

  4. ComboWarden

    Franchement, il n'a rien à faire au même classement que The Witcher 3 ou God of War, ce sont deux mondes différents. Mais si on parle de plaisir immédiat manette en main, il tient tête à Borderlands 2 sans problème.

    TurboLegend

    Comparer à God of War n'a pas de sens, ce sont des expériences trop éloignées pour qu'un rapprochement tienne.

    Loot_Howell

    It doesn't beat Borderlands 2 everywhere, but the combat holds up well.

  5. Océane_1987

    Un ELO de 1768 pour un jeu de ce calibre, ça parait bas vu la FLUIDITÉ du système de combat qui tourne encore parfaitement aujourd'hui.
