there's a lot of cool stuff and i do like a lot of the visual design (gaige is cute although the "anarchy" stuff in media always makes me roll my eyes) but i didn't really enjoy my playthrough. enemies felt a bit spongy for me and while some of the jokes are funny a lot of it just falls flat. i don't inherently mind dated humor (i love fallout 2 and that game is just EPIC 90s pop culture jokes) but in BL2 it just makes me kind of go "oh yeah, i remember that" and just kind of roll my eyes.
