    I got to about level 5 in borderlands 3 and just gave up… It felt like a slap in the face after the great stories of borderlands and borderlands 2. The third attempt seemed like it was written by 13 year old boys…

      Complaining that Borderlands 3 has a juvenile tone, while praising the first two games great stories, feels disingenuous. Or, at the very least, it reads as excessively nostalgic.

        Borderlands 2 was written by Anthony Burch, and featured a lot of HAWP style humor. It had plenty of material that didn’t land but plenty that hit the mark.

        Burch also set a bar that 3 failed abysmally.
