Improvement graphics and some combat mecanics, but the story is poorly written

The literal only reason I played this was because my friends liked 2 back in the day and wanted to give this a shot. They didn't like this so imagine how I feel.

Story wise: A big misstep for the franchise. Don't know who they hired but the jokes, story, and characters were horrible. The gameplay is the best in the Borderlands series. Hope 4 fixes what this one was lacking and brings the humor back to the series.

Kind of conflicted about this one.

The story and characters are sometimes more annoying than ever but the gameplay loop is more compelling than ever. I also think the art style translates well over to current gen and I really enjoyed the planet's visual variety.

I jumped ship so early I don't even think I can fairly give it a rating. The writing, man. I couldn't do it. Also the gluttonous particle effects actually gave me a headache after not too long.

oh jesus fuck yeah the gameplay is better but how did the writing GET EVEN WORSE
