I agree with the 2>1>3>TPS, however
While there are many things to enjoy in borderlands 2, some of the design choices are so questionable to me.
The splitting of backpack space with bank space and giving 'a little more' between the two felt horrible when compared to just having up to 72 backpack slots from the first game, which was compounded by the added slag element, enemies using the good strength/weakness body type from the armory of general Knox dlc from bl1, and horrible ammo economy for nearly all weapons.
They removed the entire guardian series of legendary weapons and most forms of ammo regen from class mods, making it either mandatory to run multiple weapon types with no class supports (generally each character has 2 supported types), playing (with) salvador, or enjoying the shopping interface quite often. The extra ammo spending weapons really didn't help this at all.
Aside from a few other smaller picks, these generally made the gameplay less enjoyable than the first for me, but the story, enemies (especially bosses), and locations/lore were leagues better than the first. I'm split on the dlcs, but both games did have at least one great dlc.
