2nd was peak. Borderline cringe but didn't cross the line. Handsome Jack of course carried whole game.

3rd was good in terms of gameplay, BUT:
- Story was absolute dogshit, only some coherent narrative, retarded characters decisions, even more obnoxious and loud, right my fellow Millenials?
- Loot system was garbage, mid game you were running in whole gold gear, but event then after lvl up you would throw it in the bin. In first gold weapon would carry you through like 10-15 lvls, but in BL2 and 3 they changed it to a formula where after leveling up any weapon found with higher lvl would be better. Same shit as in Diablo 3, holy fuck go die.
- Did I mention writing? Narrative is shit, but characters are even worse. Everyone is fucking obnoxious prick, Lilith is retarded, Tannis

Spoiler

becomes a fucking siren out of a sudden

and is even more annoying, Rhys is acting like a fucking retarded 9yo, holy shit. The First Vault Hunter which we look for whole game constantly is blabbling "Vault Hunters come in different shapes and sizes", YES WE KNOW, we get fucking message every retard and redditor can be special. Holy shit. It was I think only game I wanted to kill whole cast. Even good ol annoying claptrap was so insufferable. Jesus.

Just let this franchise die. Randy Bitchford, FUCK YOU.

Cunt.

2nd was peak.

Completely ruined random loot generation in a game where the loot is 90% of the gameplay
Removal of weapon masteries
Overall retarded enemy design where you died in a few hits and some fights were constant loop of going down and getting second wind
Slag

On top of that there was almost zero additions in terms of weapon types (in fact rocket launchers were pretty much removed) and creativity of how they work/shoot that could still be (barely) excused with the first game.
Bordellands 2 is peak slop and massive decline.

I personally had most fun in BL2. Loot generation was indeed massive decline. The fights you mention were mostly during raid bosses which were designed to be cancer. Slag was not that bad of an idea until late late game and raid bosses for which slag was mandatory.

I can understand sentiment tho. I feel like BL1 to BL2 is like Killing Floor 1 to Killing Floor 2. First had distinctive theme, dirty aesthetic while second one got streamlined and aesthetic went into more neon, colorful direction.

Cringe!

The entire series was garbage from the start on all levels but especially humor and it only got worse and worse. Gearbox are faggots.

Borderlands 2 was the best.
