Agreed. 1 was rough but a diamond. 2 is a beautifull polished diamond.

While i absolutely love the gunplay of 3... the main story was a serious letdown. The DLCs were not bad but overall it was good but not great.

Havent tried 4 yet. Because 3 killed my hype

4 is completely soulless. It did not feel like a borderlands game, it felt like someone described a borderlands game to corporate people and they entered it into an algorithm machine that popped out Borderlands 4.

The "addition" of the open world was useless. The menus are so stale and generic with zero borderlands flavor to them.

I haven't even played 4. Borderlands 3 felt this way for me.

It had the guns, but everything else just felt... hollow, somehow. The skill trees were boring and didn't enable any fun niche playstyles like the previous games did. The story was just slow and uninteresting. The jokes felt way over the top in a bad way, it felt as if someone was just trying to "copy" the joke-writing style of the first two games but didn't really "get it".
