    This is exactly why the first Borderlands remains my favorite. Much better humor.

      1 had really good writing. 2 was the clown nose version of 1. Still good in ways, but a lot of what made 1’s writing good stayed in 1.

      Based on what I remember, anyway. Been awhile.

      I feel it was more consistent humor. It did the job of being a reprieve while keeping to the heavier feel of the overall story, something that 2 only really starts accomplishing when Jack stops fucking around, and his sense of humor changes with it.

      Pre-Sequel felt like an overall continuation of 2s writing, but 3 absolutely fucked it right out of the gate. It didn’t feel like a parody, or poking fun at streamer culture, it felt like being locked in a goddamn room full of them.
