A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I feel like I'm guilty of this within the Borderlands series -- I love all the things about 2 that OG fans seemed to dislike, namely Anthony Burch's writing and the weapons spread, and I actually think 3 is pretty respectable as a shooter; it's a lot of fun to play, it's just a weak sequel to 2. The things that fans seem to love about The Pre-Sequel (the ice and the butt slams and the new player characters) left me cold, and I think the first game pales in comparison to the second.
That's funny, because I love 1 and Pre-Sequel the most in the entire series. 2 just feels so dated, and I can't stand listening to the dialogue anymore, but Pre-Sequel has that something about it that I loved about 1.
Exactly, seems like I came to the right thread :P
I loved 3. Granted, it was my first Borderlands game, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
Borderlands 2 is an absolute masterpiece. The humor was adorably cheesy, the characters were much more interesting that OG and Pre-Sequel imo (totally in love with zer0).
I should probably install it and find some friends to play with.
Wow! You've articulated my thoughts about the series exactly..
