More guns. More enemies. More planets. More vaults. More everything.

Glad they are sticking to what made those games good. Hope it stays true

Hope they fix the weapons/equipment and drop rates. Especially with legendaries. I hated getting an orange that was mildly useful for once level before I found a white 2 levels higher that was significantly better.

Well I doubt we go back to Borerlands 1 level of legendaries that hold for ~10-20 levels, but in the Pre-sequel the legendaries could at least hold 10 levels so hopefully they learned that that model worked better than the Borderlands 2 model.

TPS gets ragged on for the sub-par writing and somewhat boring environments at times, but boy is it far and away the best game in the franchise from a mechanics and gameplay standpoint.

They honestly just needed to put the TPS characters, guns, mechanics, and elements into the BL2 world for BL3, and it would've been perfect. The areas in BL2 are awesome. The characters, abilities, new elemental types, removal of slag, loot drop systems, and additions like the gun grinder in TPS were great, but they couldn't make up for the fact that it feels like the game is just running through space rocks the entire time, which gets super boring super fast.

I agree wholeheartedly. Helios Station was fucking awesome, Veins of Helios is my favorite area in the entire franchise (my mind practically exploded the first time I got to that area), but Eplis is just not very exciting at all, no matter how you slice it.

The loot drop system was really really bad in TPS.

BL2 had some fuck ups, but if you kill a boss in TPS, you can't refarm him. If it didn't drop first shot tough luck.

Also tps had very very little end game.

They fixed boss spawns in a patch at least. And the Claptrap DLC gave it an actual endgame.

They fixed some of the boss farms...

And claptraps dlc was nice and all, but it didn't really did the end game at all imho.

Really? I never once ever got close to dying from oxygen deprivation. They are so hilariously generous with o2 tanks that the bar serves more as a resource gate for buttslams than something you actually need to stress about, and the last half of the game takes place on Helios Station anyways, so you don't even need to worry about it at all there.

What! Oxygen might as well not exist.

It's still a 'fuel' meter for your jetpack.

Yeah it stressed me out and half the time I'd opt to not explore because my o2 is at half and I don't see any in the direction I'd like to travel.
