nah i was the best gunner in the game

The characters in BL2, presequel and BL1 are completely different except for a couple characters (in BL2 one of the people who guides you and gives you quests is the character you play in BL1), however, I wouldn't say its mandatory to play BL1 first.. the 2nd one is the best game out of them all in my opinion. Definitevly a very good fun game.

You don’t need to. The first one shows it’s age a bit. 2 does a good job at re introducing all the key characters. I would say it’s worth playing 1 at some point though, but it will feel bare bones compared to 2.

I'd just watch a recap video of the first game. There are some good moments, but the gameplay of 2 is far better.

No idea who this is and I hadn't read the title when I clicked in but I laughed so hard when I saw the horse. Thanks for this

Save one as a display piece. Might be worth something, and if not, an excellent conversation piece for visitors.

Go try a new hobby. You can always come back to gaming.

Joel dies at the start, and TLOU is still a game, so while spoilers could ruin stories of games, I could see myself buying a game either way even if something gets spoiled. And ppl watching their favourite streamers play a game proves nothing, because they could have already played the game (some people have A LOT of free time), or they simply don't care about the game. I know I wouldnt be upset if my little pony got spoiled for me. And even I myself might watch ending scenes of movies that im interested in, but not enough to watch it properly, like the trap scenes in saw movies because of morbid curiosity.

It just came out six years ago!

Why 5? It's serviceable enough.

Look to YouTube and Twitch, a new game comes out and droves of people are watching them. Reviewers do their thing for publications. There are millions of people worldwide who will watch or read about a new game (or movie).

Last of Us 2 famously had Joel's death shared before the game came out and it still became a massive success.

Can't wait for my kiddo to be old enough to game with.

Idk, it really depends how well the game sells

I know literally no one who "doesnt mind spoilers." I just know people who hate them, it seems that all the people here arguing for spoilers are the loud minority.

I got so good with engineer that I started to solo lanes. Assassin ambush meet grapple, turret, and shotgun (or did he have a beam gun?) combo

Just sit in a lobby and listen to everyone. You'll want to play a game to get away from the stupidity

We need this revitalized so I can play this only on Monday

I'd argue that most people aren't bothered by spoilers, just that those who are bothered by them are extremely vocal about it.

I’m not going to explain it again. I have more important things to do rather than explain how you’re literally not comprehending the conversation. At all.

This universe. The one where you still don’t understand that the joke wasn’t what they said but who they’re pretending to be. I literally have no idea how to explain that better. You’re either being purposely obtuse, a troll, or actually have some neurological disorder. Like I don’t know how to tell you any other way that the joke IS NOT what they said but WHO they are pretending to be.

As a seasoned dad, don’t get too wrapped up in studies. There’s no right way to do it - I drove myself nuts. Just don’t use screens as babysitters and you’re already ahead of the game. Also, grats!

My kids earn screen time through chores, good grades, and being kind - but we do limit it per day though with how busy we are it’s mainly weekends where we enjoy it. An hour or so is all they have time for during the week most days. After chores and homework are done, weekends are a free for all but they don’t just sit on games or anything the whole time, they’re pretty active kids that like being outside and love books. That’s not to say we don’t have the occasional ‘blanket fort livingroom gaming day’ now and again. Screen time usually isn’t an issue in our house, I think because we didn’t treat it like that bad thing that they couldn’t have too much of - so they didn’t go crazy with it.

Just about finding balance. Both my kids have iPads and switches, my son has his series s, and we have a ton of shared consoles. I have all my retro and current consoles/gaming pc. They watch YouTube(kids) and a few channels like unspeakable or other Minecraft gamers. microsoft (xbox) has pretty awesome parental controls/monitoring as well.

I will say though, digital learning is a nightmare. And now that the public schools have that option (after lockdown) snow days aren’t snow days anymore which kinda sucks. So I pull my kids ‘out of school’ on those days so they can have some fun!
