It's the best borderlands by far mechanically, the plot is weak and it's a shame because it keeps adding cutscene after cutscene.
The issue is that while BL1 didn't have plot, BL2 was still mediocre but they somehow got right the villain, then they kept trying too hard to repeat something no one was asking to a borderlands game: a "deep" narrative
Did they ever fix the Mayhem level grind? They must have tweaked it 20 times before I gave up. It often felt like a complete waste of time to play on anything but max Mayhem (even if your gear couldn’t really handle it) and boss farms were pretty 1 dimensional (same boss mostly) unless you needed a specific unique boss drop (which again felt bad farming that perfect shield for your build at a mid tier Mayhem level).
I didn’t mind the story. No villain is ever going to beat Handsome Jack so I didn’t expect the villains to do so. They were suitably infuriating in a way that made you want to shoot them in the face so that worked for me. Some of the DLC stories were far better though, Love and Tentacles was my favorite that I played.
