The best game of the series to date. The story you get to follow has incredible writing. So much better than any of the games that followed this one. Handsome Jack is one of the greatest characters. You love to hate him, so to speak! This game treats EVERY character that you love with respect and provides them with proper writing and appropriate levels of silliness to seriousness. Unlike Borderlands 3. This game is the peak of Borderlands. They've yet to top themselves in terms of writing and storytelling. Gameplay may have improved, but the story of Borderlands as a whole is now simply a shadow of its former self. They're simply unable to capture the same feeling that Borderlands 2 offers. If you're only going to play one Borderlands title, make it this one. All this being said, yes.. Randy Pitchford still sucks.

This is THE Borderlands to play. The others may be flashier, may have improvements in some areas, but for straight up story, gameplay, quality DLC, and hilarious conversations, this is the one. Right here.

Great cartoon graphics, entertaining pacing of action, dry humor, and just all round engaging classic running gun story lines. I'm a 73 year old married man; retired home builder; and I have enjoyed playing this series regularly since shortly after the release of Borderlands 1 - up to this day. I have only played solo on a PC - and now that i think of it - I the series drives my constant habit of buying newer and faster computers, video cards, and monitor , My computer reminds me of the 60,245 hours of game play I have accrued since the release of BL1 - early 2010. I'm eagerly looking forward to the release of BL 4 in September - Just 2 weeks before my next birthday. Thanks Gearbox for keeping the series alive and entertaining. DEATH2PIXELS
