3 had more hype because bl1 had very few flaws for what it was at the time, and then bl2 was a strict improvement in nearly every single area. Bl3 being such a disappointment in so many ways really fucked up the perception of the series. And borderlands 4, while still an improvement, didn't course correct hard enough. There's no new features that are so outstanding that it would hook in new or spurned players
