    The writing is garbage but,… it’s a game for edgy teenagers. It would be.

    The gameplay for me is Diablo with guns. It would suck for anyone not into that. If anyone isn’t into that, don’t buy Borderlands games.

      Got to argue, I’m a 39 year old gamer, started with PCs back in 90s.

      The games are casual fun, they work great as co-op shooters. Story is what it is, but the games themselves are lighthearted and just pure entertaining fun.

      Not masterpieces. Just good.

        The first felt really fresh at the time. FPS was dominated by various milsim shooters and Halo, and the irreverence and clever cell shading style worked well.

        Two dialed things up in scope and scale and added some nice environmental variety.

        But the rest? The presequel? The 3rd? I just couldn’t. It was more of the same, tired, repetitive, the jokes started really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I had fun early on, but I’m out.
