A game I'm pretty torn on. The gameplay is the best in the series, hands-down. I like what they did with the vault hunters, too - FOUR action skills, FOUR skill trees? It came at the cost of no extra character DLC, a stable since 2 which seems to be broken now.

There's a fair bit of content to get through, and I dunno if it's just me but it really doesn't feel like there's as much as 2. The main story is fucking abysmal, characters like Vaughn show Borderlands' humor has gotten even more dogshit in my eyes, and some other characters are unbearable. But the uh... the DLC stories are all mostly great. So. Dunno what the fuck happened.

But, yeah. Guns feel and are great. Gameplay is great. Characters are great. I just can't quite put my finger on it, but I can't see myself revisiting this that much if not for a friend. I was looking forward to this being the greatest the series has to offer.. but 2 still stands as the king.
