The collaborative user interface lacks important information at a glance
Wonders of Tiny Tina It has a glaring issue with the way item summaries are displayed in split-screen co-op compared to single-player, which I hate to see. otherwise Nice fun, kind of rest and dining collaborative experienceit is a pity that it is very difficult to tell which loot – aka the driving force of Borderlands Worth equipping or giving up.
It’s kind of hard to fully explain the problem without visual aids, but I noticed something was malfunctioning, and did a search online to see if anyone else felt the same (and if they came up with a workaround; we don’t respond). Other players called the split screen user interface “anger“boring and obnoxious,” And the “It’s almost impossible to sort things out. “
So, if you are wondering if it is strangely difficult to know what to equip Wonders of Tiny Tina With another player by your side in a split screen, well, same.
What item summaries look like in singleplayer
What do item summaries look like in split screen
Highly Mystery Item Cards also appear in players’ inventory.
In order to see exactly what any particular item does in the split screen, you’ll have to “inspect” it, and then, when you back out, the list pushes you to the top of the list, rather than leaving you on the item you just inspected. Again, it’s a lot more chore than it should be, especially on a constant string like Borderlands. An obscure user interface wastes time, straightforward.
As a final point of comparison, the screenshot above is what it looks like when you go to equip an item as a solo player in Wonders of Tiny Tina – You can see what the numbers actually mean in context, and there’s a detailed summary of the item’s benefits, so it’s easy to weigh the pros and cons of the new item against what you’re currently equipped with.
Basically, there is no need to cycle back and forth between menus, as it should.
Other players have submitted feedback on the UI, and it looks like the mode could (and should) be improved on Gearbox Software in a later update. I hope they do, and soon.
In the meantime, I’m going to continue this game with an hour here and an hour there.
Even with the flaws in the UI, I’m digging Wonders More than expected, and it’s good to have Split screen game from honest to good repeatedly. I was concerned about how it would run, but so far, on the PS5, it’s been smooth enough in resolution mode — for once, performance mode isn’t worth the visual trade-off. I always choose the latter, but not this time.
Also, if you’re curious, there’s He is Horizontal and vertical split screen option.
You might want to hold off for now, admittedly, the $70 price tag on PS5 stings. but if Borderlands is your go-to co-op, Wonders It can be hard to resist. I could not. Sometimes we’re in the mood to cast spells and shoot orcs in the face with an outdated SMG, and that’s okay. And hell, I don’t even mind Tina this time!
