Geedang I haven’t heard of any of this, I only knew about the main games.
Thank you! I’ll definitely look that up
Comment on Borderlands 2 improved on everything I liked from B1

You should try the Pre-Sequel! I feel like it further improved on the combat and each of the playable characters is awesome in their own way. At least at the top end, “ultimate vault hunter mode” or whatever it’s called, seemed more balanced in terms of enemy health instead of being reliant on priming every enemy with slag.

Honestly I wanted so badly to like The Pre Sequel but I hated it.
The humour is significantly worse. It seems like it relies on Australian slang or something because a lot of it just didn’t make sense or wasn’t funny to me.
The movement felt extremely floaty and bad. The only maps where I had any fun were the space station levels where the gravity was normal.
The level design is horrible. In BL1 and 2, I basically never got stuck in level geometry and needed to kill myself to respawn and free myself. But I needed to do this like once every hour or two in TPS. And I only died to falling into death pits rarely in the prior games, while it was probably the number 1 cause of death for me in TPS.
All that being said, I do like the character building and the story of Handsome Jack’s rise to power.

I wouldn’t say the humor replies on Australian slang (outside of a couple sidequests), it’s just not funny. That being said, you could try the DLC which takes place in claptrap’s brain and thus doesn’t have any space australians.
I get what you’re saying about the floatiness, but I liked it as a gimmick with the air boosting.

Okay, phew. I was worried I just didn’t get the jokes or something.
If it had been for a few smaller sections it’d have been more tolerable. Like how some games use water levels or low gravity levels as like a bonus area. It should not have been the game’s whole schtick.

I found the maps to just be too big. Doing many of the story and side missions are an absolute chore (the Bosun’s ship in particular was a low point in this respect) because of how much running you have to do. At least in 2 the maps were filled with things to do and had varied environments that kept things from feeling same-y. I’ve beaten 2 many times, but never felt the urge to replay TPS. The game just feels like a slog.
