Still the G.O.A.T in terms of the characters and interactions between your party members. I am knocking it down a point for the fact that despite the wonderfully told and written main story - including everything to do with your team and their loyalty missions, dialogue, etc. - the side content is actually really fucking boring. Scanning planets for resources sucks ass, the side missions themselves suck ass, and all of it feels very inconsequential and unnecessary.
I actually took a few months' break from the game during Act 2 of the story because I was just so bored with doing the side content. My gaming OCD would never allow me to shotgun main objectives without doing side missions first, however, so that soured my playthrough of the game for a little while until I had taken enough time to return to the game and complete it finally.

Yeah man, all the random planet stuff is just rough. Like the side missions in the actual hub areas are non-intrusive and lead you to explore more of the hubs, so they're fine; but once you're out there scanning planets for random missions and resources and that stupid 100% complete percentage, it's just tedious busywork.

It was originally my favourite of the trilogy, but it's probably my least favourite now because all that side content just makes a replay drag so badly.

Still need to revisit 3, but I gotta agree with you, the side shit is a run killer. Which is a shame, as this game definitely has some of the strongest characters in the series and the interactions with the bros are genuinely great.
