I have every Borderlands game but guess who comes back to this gem?
This is the OG Borderlands with BL2 being the peak. Other games are just made by otherworldly people who doesn't understand what basic BL fans basically want.
It was fun, with it's humor, gameplay, references and easter eggs. Even after all those years, it still holds up. I have the urge and passion to 100% this game and it's DLCs.
Hearing Tannis go insane over time was fun. And I liked the reference to Diablo 2 with the Rakkinishu boss.

I guess this GOTY Enhanced version are made by the same people who made the other modern garbages as this game has been worked on more than a few times and still has memory leak which forces you to restart the game as you will be getting 3 FPS. Also the dialogues are bugged and sometimes they won't play which causes you to miss out on the story and the missions (where claptrap informs you that there are new missions at a person/bounty board)
And the best bug yet! Clipping out the map and falling to your demise and you don't even respawn until you restart your save.

I played BL1 and BL2 with passion but the other games just sucked the passion and soul out of me just like those dementors from Harry Potter.
I have no hope for the future of this franchise and the upcoming movie.
Thanks a lot for where you've taken this franchise, Randy Pitchford.

Glad I'm not the only one who gave up on the series after BL2. Think I have like an hour or two of BL3 played before I said heck no.

@zelaxi I admire BL2. I did every side quest, seen every easter egg and got every achievement in BL2. I have 130 hours just on Steam. But the thing is not BL2 being great, it's the games that come after it being dull. They even failed to entertain me with their main story, let alone side quests and other shit. Tried to play Presequel more than once and I couldn't, also forced myself to try BL3 for about 5 hours and nope. Those games can burn in hell, I am happy with BL1 and BL2.

the others have claptrap, which is what i want. Though Claptrap could be in 3 more, so its possible it is lacking.
