I finally re downloaded this now that I’ve got the X. Wanted to compare to the S, but mostly I’ve been hearing good things about the tweaks they’ve made. It also seems like they’ve finally got on top of their patching problems.
I have to say, I’d forgotten quite how brilliant the moment to moment gunplay could be, especially at higher levels. Creating chain lightning cycles amongst massive mobs and bringing down a comet with the first critical hit of each salvo, well it reminded me how brilliantly batshit the game can get.
Add to that the constantly refreshing special abilities and it just feels amazingly generous.
The endgame has been transformed as far as I can see. No time limits, better rewards, more maps.
I’ve started playing an old character through the story as well. Level 16 pyro. It seems like the spikes may have been dealt with. I really hope the final boss has been. Because that guy can do one.
If you’ve been waiting to jump in, or have been waiting for the game to get into a stable state. I’d say now is a great time.
