[@SleepingSilence] do you like any video game? Or do you always find something to dislike?

Cult Of The Lamb runs perfectly fine and is an enjoyable enough time sink.

Yes. :P

My brain is always turned on, and I critique and analyze all the content that I consume. (The only difference between me and many others, is I think it's actively beneficial to do so. So I've never reacted negatively/dubiously to someone else's critical taste. Only their reasoning as to why.)

But I'd like to think bad writing and immersion-breaking bugs are pretty easy to dislike...

Though I'm still playing BL3, so it has to be doing [i][b]something[/b][/i] right. 

But even with the few positive/appreciated add-on's that BL3 does offer. (Alternative firing modes, teleporting to your vehicle, or a slide move that I rarely utilize.) It doesn't really change the core gameplay loop. It's simply more Borderlands. (With a much more annoying set of characters to listen to. And a hub world that has seven different advertisements to buy its DLC content.) 

I'm just happy that I picked the class that I did. (One with a pet that revives you.) Because the game is a lot easier than BL2. Except for the bosses & their abrupt difficulty spikes. (The last boss I fought one-hit ko'd me twice, basically out of nowhere.) [i]So I'd love to see how other classes handle that one solo.[/i]

But I also found a legendary shotgun (many levels ago) that simply dwarfs the damage/reload speed of every other weapon in the game to the point of near-uselessness. So it's hard to be excited about the higher frequency of "rare" loot drops. (When it's all worse than the gun I already have.) Though it's amusing when you can turn every living/blathering opponent into a silent cloud of red dust in one shot, every time. It makes the rare times I do feel challenged (because a half dozen enemies spawned/fired upon me, before they even appeared on my screen) feel incredibly cheap.

And Borderlands 2 didn't feel nearly this unbalanced to me. (The rocket launchers and sniper rifles were a necessity in that game. With the trade off of having less/harder-to-find ammo. But sniper rifles barely function here, with how most enemies don't appear until you get closer. And I've not found a single rocket launcher that's worth using yet in BL3.)

So I struggle to see/agree with the same positives that other reviewers mention. (Someone like Skill Up, for instance.) [i]It's also hard to appreciate 'the improved visuals'. When I'm running this thing on my mid-tier PC, with the graphical settings turned down.[/i] And even with the best computer possible, the game supposedly [i][b]still[/b][/i] has a frequent stuttering problem. (Plus, I don't know how smart it was to hype up "Twitch integration systems" in a game that clearly loathes streamers, and made them the literal villains of your story.)

But I digress. 

How's Elden Ring? :P
