Borderlands 3 is pretty fun. I played as Amara, the punch Siren and I actually got a pretty crazy melee build (in my opinion). I probably had 600% melee damage and 75% lifesteal so I heal to full health on every melee hit. Amara is probably my favourite Borderlands character in general. I do feel sad that I already had my build and pretty much ignored the gun variety in this game, but I love wacking shit so.

I probably have a way higher tolerance so I didn't find this game "cringe" or annoying pretty much at all. I might have been like "okay this joke is getting stale hurry up" like once or twice. I just fuck with people being quirky.

I do think the writing some have some genuine "realness" to is sometimes. There is a sidequest where it just talks about Angel's/Handsome Jack's past and I didnt even beat that game and I felt sad. Then it's also paralleled with the Calypso Twin's upbringing and I'm like fuck. I like the Calypso Twins, just a good pair of broken individuals. I mean, Borderlands is kind of just filled with broken people, but they are still living life and acting themselves and thats dope.

Also shouts out to the old man Yaoi, we love old gay men.
