I don’t think it was the lack of open world that put me off from it, as I’ve always preferred hub based games ever since Dragon Age Origins. I think it was just the writing honestly. I don’t like the whole “le soooo epic zany & ttlly rndm” writing that it shares with Borderlands. I don’t find it funny, endearing nor entertaining. It’s just annoying to me and it was overdone in the specific period of time it release because millennial culture was at its height.

I wouldn’t categorize it that way at all. It extrapolated nationality to one’s employer and religion to the law. It was unsubtle in its views of classism and such, in a way that I appreciated, but it wasn’t just doing zany things “just because”, unless you’ve got a good example that’s slipping my mind.

My critique is not of the content of the writing but rather its presentation and its over reliance on what I can only call “millennial humor”.

I can’t say I follow you. I would call it satire rather “totally random”, but if you didn’t care for the writing, you didn’t care for the writing.
