    I don’t know that there is anything left in borderlands if you take out the toilet humor…

    I never played 3, only 1 and a little of 2. Does anyone have a good video recommendation on how severe the problem is in 3?

      There’s a lot of decent non toilet humor and some really good gunplay. The tiny Tina dlc was amazing, but I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews of the stand alone game.

    I’d heard the story was kind of a letdown (I don’t have hardware I can play 3 on, so I haven’t gotten to it yet) so I’m really just hoping the story gets the focus and effort it needs; 1 & 2 had really excellent writing and story design and it feels like a huge loss for the series if they can’t find that again

      I played a few hours of 3 and tiny Tina’s and both just felt really meh. Like the villains were annoying , the characters were annoying, and the weapons felt same old. Maybe I’ve changed and they’re not meant for me anymore but it’s a shame.

      I’m hoping the next game makes the weapons feel exciting again. I don’t want to see or hear claptrap anymore

    I would consider myself a borderlands fan since I’ve played every game in the series a bunch of times (except the tell-tale ones). Being obnoxiously stupid was one of the key charms of the franchise. I think if you go and look at how the fanbase feels about 3, it’s going to be the gameplay was really fun but the main story and everything associated with it was terrible. I think most other side missions were pretty decently written and had the charming campyness of the series. Taking out the toilet humor is a real ship of Theseus activity to do in a series where toilets are chests.
