The Hacker known as 4chan explains why people hate Millennial Writing.

Borderlands 1 and 2 are the best because they keep the goofy-ness while still being relatively concise. Pre-Sequel is where it started to get worse and 3 was the worst for this kind of writing. It's actually painful.

You are listening to that monologue during your 200 meter trip to the canisters, have to listen it all until the end, and only then those canisters become interractable.

See honestly, I like this dialogue. Gearbox shit got worse because they started jamming the proverbial penis of their political agenda into every single fucking thing they make. Really stops being funny after that.

If I told you why Gearbox specifically you wouldn’t believe me. The writers wanted to justify themselves and so they tried to expand what they were doing and it just snowballed into a mess.

And the first one has no entertainment value or personality. It could be from any random NPC. Some are jokes, but there's also fluff to customize it to the NPC. It's why borderlands was popular. And not all of them gave out goofy descriptions, like Roland.

Um.. I actually like the Gearbox version. It's full of character, world building, immersion, and humor. come on, people.

It's actually gen X who were old enough to be the seniors in the writing room and responsible for it. They just thought that is what millennials like.

Crazy how this post was made in 2016. This is when millennials were still the "cool" young people and even then, the writing was on the wall that it was ass. Literally, not figuratively.

I think gearbox might be doing it on purpose.

Who is this "four chann"

This is just western game devs sucking at designing a game. It shouldn't even have so much story. Miyamoto famously hated story in games, and he created all the best games ever made because his design philosophy may sound insane but it works. Making a good video game is not easy.

I always preferred the short lines doing the characterization. “I’s named after m’ sister!”

That’s just Rose from Fallout76

great scooter impression

"Millenial writing" yet this is how we were taught to pad out our writing essays in school for decades.

The writing in borderlands is like a sequence of andy warhol prints with degrading silkscreen. Each iteration is a less detailed less coherent copy of the one before it.

all of bl3 but especially vaughn

Am I the only one who thinks the second one is actually significantly better? It fits the character well

Sounds literally like what Rick and Morty is. I can just hear this in their voices.

I know exactly which mission pissed this guy off too lol

10 years ago???

It’s nuts how sincerity and earnestness were the anathema of cool for millennials during their teenage years. Unlearning that programming took real effort

This is why I had to stop playing Borderlands. 90% of the characters are insufferable

Elder millenial and have never talked like this. Faqqot based take.

Please watch Buffy tv show. This style of writing originated there. Later on it became mainstream with the first Avengers.

holy shit, I haven't seen you since 2017

The gearbox version has flavour, character, the first one feels worse then wet toast , was it written by an accountant or something?

I fucking hate borderlands

Zoomers hate "millennial writing" because they are miserable anklestabbing losers whose only goal in life to to make everything as gay and terrible as they are, and are also too stupid to recognize 90% of what they call "millennial writing" is from GenX or even boomers.

that’s not millenial you dumbphuk

I like ARC Raiders but the stupid little quips people say to you over the radio at the start of a match is the cringiest shit imaginable especially that fucking robot

Basically. Although Scooter himself was actually funny. They kept trying the same in BL4 but they didn’t land most of the time.

Who the fuck is "the hacker known as 4chan"

Indeed. Now i truly hate them as well.
