    Borderlands 2 was amazing, and Borderlands 3 had amazing graphics. But I felt like there was no need to continue the franchise after that, and I’m actually surprised that they are.

      Fully agree. I’d even say BL3 had the most polished gameplay/gunplay out of the trilogy, but that clearly wasn’t a major factor because BL2 is the definitive borderlands experience.

      It’s been over a decade since I first finished BL2 and I still vividly remember how fun and addictive that gameplay loop was. I’m convinced that Badass Rank system was pulling a lot of weight there.

      Not to mention the character and story quality decline… Well I think that horse has been sufficiently beaten.
