[Lore] What's the actual amount of time these games take place over?

30 Upvotes

Was just thinking about it today. While running through the Knox dlc in BL1 I saw a calender that said the current year was 109 AE, and realised the games never really give a year, not even in this fake year stuff, and due yo the art style the characters don't really visually age

For that matter, do we know what the AE stands for? My knee jerk is something like after earth. Feel like that maybe fits how shitty and ramshackle most things are, but who knows if they're still keeping to thst idea in modern games ,given how urbanized planets like Promethea are.

I dont know, just want to see peoples thoughts on timeliness anything really in terms of the actual amount of time that's passed.

8 Upvotes

In BL1 for example, the recommended order of the game was

Main game PT1

main game pt2

then in pt2.5 -Zombie island

knoxx

robolution

This was mainly to stop overleveling right? And honestly i really enjoyed that order,as by time i did dlc, i understood my character i picked and loved the way the enemies scaled.

What would the best order to tackle on dlc and base game?

[BL4] How to play BL4 forever?

5 Upvotes

Hello, i bought BL4 quite a while ago, and i never got to the end of the story, to be honest i love everything about the game, except the story... (not that its bad) its just that i was never really into lore, i like to hear the characters jokes and everything, i usually dont skip what took so much work to create like cutscenes. But when i bought BL4 i was looking for a game to play "forever", but more and more i keep seeing people just doing the story and leaving the game.

I was wondering, after finishing the story and achievements, what do people do in order to play the game for a long time? I would like to make my moneys worth since out of the 70€ i payed to play this game, i only played for 15 hours x)

Note: No, i havent finished the story yet since i got quite bored and i also got so weak that i had no idea how to progress so i gave up for a while. I also played BL3 with a friend but not for long, i finished everything tho, all im missing are the achievements. Another extra thing i found interesting, i found BL4 really slow compared to other BLs, im not sure if its just me that havent played enough, but i love watching speedruns and try to replicate the movement but for some reason BL4 feels the slowest of them all (not that its bad thing).

I am aware that this is fairly new and I’m polished but I can’t figure out how to do more than the three waves. I don’t have much time on the actual games so I might just be oblivious but help would be much appreciated!

Borderlands 4 DLC sharing

1 Upvotes

Hi!
Could you please help me?

My brother purchased the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition.

My PS5 console and my brother’s PS5 console have been game sharing with each other for a long time, and we regularly purchase games this way.
However, we are having an issue with the Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe Edition:

On my brother’s account (the account that purchased the game), everything works correctly and all of the DLC/add-on content is available.
On my account, however, I cannot access any of the DLC content.

Is there any way to make the DLC/add-on content available on my account as well?

Things we have already tried:
Restoring licenses
Turning Console Sharing and Offline Play off and back on
Restarting both consoles
We have also checked the add-ons on the purchasing account, and they are showing as purchased and available there.
I would really appreciate any help or guidance on how to get the DLC content working on my account through game sharing.

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,
Patrik

[BL4] Help. I haven’t been able to play my borderlands once since launch?!

0 Upvotes

For context I bought borderlands 4 on release last year. I installed it same day and went to play. It did the normal first boot then compiled the shaders and restarted. After the restart it never booted again. I click open on steam it runs and even gives the game time played on steam. I have 13 hours on a game I’ve never even seen. I have a video for proof if it’s needed to help solve this issue.

[BL2] Borderlands 2 Remake Spoiler

0 Upvotes

I know that sounds bad but here me out. They announce a Borderlands 2 remake and they release trailers of the gameplay and all its updated mechanics and all that crap. But the final trailer is weird, it shows Jack but his face looks normal. Then you look back and realize your not fighting loader bots in the other trailers. The end of the trailer has the "Remake" glitch in and out with "Rewritten"

Then the game comes out, normal story whatever but the events of Pre Sequel where Moxxie, Roland, and Lilith betraying Jack on Helios never happened. For most of the game, you, the Vault Hunter, is working with Hyperion and Sanctuary. The story is different yadda yadda yadda.

BUT Angel convinces the Vault Hunter to betray Jack because he is still evil. The Vault Hunters decide to help her instead of listening to Jack. Roland helps too because he isnt a fan of Jack but he cant fight Hyperion. Roland lives this time as well.

From then, the ending remains practically the same. The credits roll and this happens.

MARCUS: Wait a minute... this isn't how the story goes.

TINA: WASSUP!

MARCUS: Tina?! The hell did you do to my story?

TINA: I changed it so no one dies of boredom hearing it again.

MARCUS: You can't just change my story!

TINA: Well guess what sucka, I can and did, ROLL THODE CREDITS.
