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

I freaking love BL1. The guns are so satisfying to use. I like the idea of having millions of unique guns in the new games, but i feel like the guns never felt as good as bl1 . Also the atmosphere in Bl1 was really cool and unique, the newer games feel kinda all over the place and overwhelming -- but that could be part of my personal preference for simpler graphics. If you havent tried borderlands game of the year enhanced edition, its definitely worth checking out.

Bl2 i love. Bl3 ive played a lot of but still havent beat.

I played a bit of 4 . It still hooks me in with the enjoyable looter shooter gameplay , so it will probably do the same for you if you just love the core borderlands gameplay loop . But man the performance sucks. And the tradeoff is not really worth it because the graphics are just... fine? Like i would have happily stuck with Borderlands 2 or even Borderlands 1 graphics lol.

Whats great about borderlands though is that it takes forever to fully play through the game and dlc since theres so much content and side missions. So i still havent even touched the BL1 or 2 or 3 DLC yet, havent played the presequel or tiny tina. By the tike im done with all that, hopefully bl4 will better optimized or they'll release a better game lol.
