Now this is more like it. Borderlands 1 was so relentlessly boring but this game is pretty nice. The environments are far more diverse and pretty to look at. The characters have more personality. I found them rather fun to listen to, even if the writers stretch some of their jokes for far too long. The weapons have more differences, my favorite being Tediore. When you reload, you throw your gun at your enemies to blow them up. The story isn't Shakespeare but it's engaging on a basic level. Handsome Jack is a murdering facist bastard but a very charismatic one, which I'm a fan of. And boy does he talk so much shit. So much so that when you finally blow his head off, it feels really good after all that build up. A lot of people on this site really fucking hate this game. Others seem to think it's a masterpiece. It's neither. It's just a nice, fun experience. Overrated? Yes. Trash? No.
