B1 was fun and interesting, B2 was brilliant, BTPS was fun, but slightly less so than B2, B3 was just annoying cringe.
And yeah, I played through all the games to completion including the DLCs.
I was just flabbergasted that they decided to make all of their perk trees boring and lame. I genuinely don't remember anything about the characters other than disappointment.
Roland, Mordecai, Brick, Lilith: character design masterpieces. Distinct styles and strengths but not overly limited. Zer0, Salvador, Gage, Axton, Magic Chick 2: great, less type specialized but that's not a bad thing.
Everyone else? Just walking gun stats. And not particularly fun ones.
I don't even remember bothering with the spec trees on B3.
I did play as Claptrap i B3 to get some variation, his special was just stupid
Borderlands 3 had some of the best gameplay in any shooter I've played, story and difficulty be damned. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was back to form, despite its disappointing post-game and 3-room DLCs. The only reason I'm excited for 4 is because the gameplay looks solid and they've yet to tell a single joke.
I never liked the gamplay in B3, though to be fair, I did grow up on UT2004, which other have told me is very floaty, so I may be biased on that...
