Rate the Game: Week 59

**DAMN iNATOR** · 05-18-2021, 09:57 PM

I wanted to give this a 5, because it's one of my favorite game series of all time...but...the BIG issue that holds it back from a 5 for me is the story. It's too bare-bones and not very well fleshed out or explained to the player what is happening, not to mention the infamous missing third act. The gunplay is fun, there are a bit too many fetch quests, but the DLCs, excepting _Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot_ are all a blast in general...I mean, who's played who hasn't taken advantage of the Claptrap DLC loot room infinitely after the story or run the "farmory" glitch in General Knoxx? I still have the GotY with its quality-of-life improvements on my PS4. I'm still completely befuddled by how they didnt fix not being able to move in Fight For Your Life in the GotY...if there's no enemy or the only one runs off before you kill them, you're screwed. Minor pet peeve from a game that has given me a lifetime of nostalgia.
