I really liked the first game even if its setting was boring it was a really solid attempt at diablo 2 but as a fps. Got a couple level 69s over the years with roland being my favorite, It was always really funny to get an atlas machine gun with 200 bullets proc metal storm and unload 150 in 2 seconds into a badass head watching your xbox framerate choke while roland screams CRITICAL BIIIAAATCH
I really really really liked borderlands 2 at one point but they kinda killed it when they released the 2nd vault hunter pack increasing the level cap again, 61 was the peak of the game to 72 with op8.
It even had a really good ost, some jokes did make me laugh, the dedicated loot system is genuinely one of the most genius ideas to ever grace arpgs. You almost always run into an issue in diablo of “where do i go?” Because pretty much everything has the same drop chance but in bl2 every enemy and boss can still drop everything but every boss had an assigned special drop at a higher chance so you can target farm things makint their be like 70 farms unlike d2 which really only had like the pit, countess, and baal. No idea why bl3 killed this idea and no idea why it wasn’t instantly snatched up by every other game, i really liked a lot of the character designs, it had tons of style, I even the story which i played though a dozens times to level is pretty decent for what it is.
I never liked pre sequel or 3
I doubt 4 will be good
For some reason gearbox made two solid games than instantly dropped the ball for the end of time
