I probably played the games more than most of the audience and wouldn't have wasted money on it. The IP is terrible apart from being the first lootbox shooter. Annoying characters, boring plot, a flat setting- it's probably the video game I'd least want to see made into a film.

I'd agree if it weren't for Tales from the Borderlands (the Telltale game). They took the franchise and turned it into a genuinely fun story with an interesting world.

That I haven't played. The main three games were just gun slot machines for me.
