Ahem...
[COLOR=#red]The entire Borderlands series is overrated. The visuals are as cartoony as the story which is mediocre at best. "Uh oh a bad guy is doing bad stuff...we better stop him" I felt zero actual motivation to help move the story along and about a 1/4 of the way through everything started to feel like a chore. The developers knew they had a dud on their hands which is why they had to put out so much extra DLC just to make their poorly created world seem more expansive. All the nerds in the gaming world hype Borderlands as an incredible series and you just hopped on the hype train and went along with what they said. Plus everything was just STOLEN from the original Borderlands...talk about being unoriginal. I won't even go into how it's just a cheap rip-off of the Fallout series. Borderlands 2 is a game made for children with it's fart jokes and cheap cell shaded graphics. Anyone who likes it is just going along with what the gaming media tells them or they're just too stupid to realize that they're playing an awful game. [/COLOR]
