I just beat The New Order and-

I genuinely believe i havent felt a story hit so hard since i first played Borderlands 2 (the best one.) The story had me sucked in from the start, and im already onto the next one and its already so much better. I swear, if anything happens to my main man Maximum Hass, i will not be happy. (Dont spoil it for me plz thanks :3 )

From Deathshead forcing you to make the choice to the games NPCs changing depending on which choice you make, to the idea of multiple timelines... its truely more than i could ask for in a game. The characters are well written, and oh my, i had never felt so patriotic in my LIFE witnessing the pure, unfiltered AURA Jimi had during that scene (i saved Wyatt my first timeline.)

Im gonna play through the 4 games i have access too, then go back and replay the different timelines. Im not one to cry often, but this story gets me so emotional.

I cant wait to see where this story goes, but i dont want it to end.

The New Order really does go way harder emotionally than I expected. That choice near the end stuck with me for a long time, and the timeline idea makes replaying it feel genuinely worthwhile. Enjoy the rest of the series!

Old blood is just as impactful imo, taking my time with it and reading all of the newspapers/notes was always worth it. Also the characters that you meet feel very personal. I suggest you also grab that game

I have all 4 that my husband had, im game sharing. New and Old blood are a part of that. Im on The New Colossus, and i will be playing all 4, and i do hope they give me the same emotional feeling as the first one. But thank you, and i appreciate you. 😁

Enjoy! But I have to warn you new blood is not that great both gameplay wise ( they made it a lvl based looter shooter and enemies are bullet sponges ) and story wise ( it's just bland)
