Borderlands 3, much to my shame.
Why did I do this? I vaguely recall liking the previous games when I was a child. Do not follow the swamp lights of nostalgia my friends, it will drown you.
Its humour is cringe and Reddit brained to an uncomfortable degree, but I'm actually kinda liking the gameplay.
I've already played through with a gunner, and now I'm trying a melee siren build. Don't know If I'll have the patience to try out the other classes, though. The game's starting to wear thin already, and the writing certainly isn't keeping me invested.
In fairness BL3 has the worst writing in the franchise by far, and the other games aren't exactly a high bar.
Damn I barely made it through one playthrough of the game. The gameplay is good, but they constantly are burying it under horrible exposition, and what passes for a joke to gearbox, and terrible pseudo open world levels that make you learn for the days of the corridor shooter. Don't even get me started on that God awful home base hub ship that seems designed to frustrate you. it's not big but suffers from one of the worst cases of "big town problems" than most RPGs with actual big towns.
I do love me some numbers go up though so maybe I'll dip into Tina's wonderlands some more.
