    Borderlands 1 was a bit too slow both with the gameplay and the humor, this is obviously understandable due to it being the first game.

    Borderlands 2 had humor that was really, really perfectly on the edge, the story was a classic freedom fighter story set in a bizarre sarcastic universe.

    Borderlands TPS kept going with the same type of humor that B2 had but added a lot of fun backstory to Jack and the loaders/constructors.

    Borderlands 3 took it too far with the toilet humor, and the whole social media storyline. At times it felt as if I was acting out a scene rather than playing a hero. Oh and I absolutely hated Vaughn.

      I couldn’t fully get through 3 to the very end but when I was playing, I had to turn off subtitles and dialogue audio to get through it without cringing the entire way through. Rough story aside, lot of the humour of 3 felt dated at the time of release whereas 2 /TPS still fit the humor at the time, which I lets me still appreciate it now. Course, it also helped the general stories for 2 and TPS were also enjoyable.

        I have basically just played through B3 after grinding B1, B2 and BTPS, and the humour takes an absolute nosedive in B3.

        Also B3’s UI is terrible
