Was the first Borderlands I played in full back when the Handsome Collection just released. I had a lot of fun with this game and I thought some of the new mechanics were really cool like laser and glitch rarity weapons. A lot of the returning legendries from BL2 are neutered in this game and don't really feel "legendary." This sort of killed the game for me since most purples would suffice due to how drastically toned down the legendary rarity as a whole was. Some of the best weapons were locked behind SHIFT which was disappointing. I do think that this game had a couple of cool easter eggs compared to BL2, at least from the top of my head. Namely the Sonic and Mario easter eggs. It's a shame this game was left mostly unfinished because it could've been really great, I still think Claptastic Voyage is one of the best DLCs released for this series.
