Considering the raging success of Borderlands 2, I feel like TPS was more than serviceable. It was received quite badly, even though the gameplay was the same as 2 and the story was at least 65% as good as 2. Maybe the playable characters were not as great. But the world was very well crafted and I actually loved the way the Eridian arc was so much more present, even though there is no Siren character.
I’m currently doing 4. It feels like a soft hommage to the first game, but it also has some references to TPS. But it also feels like it was made for people who don’t even know there are previous games. Of course, the ones who played the original are maybe outside the target demographic, which was already the case with 3 going by the villains of that game.
In short: I still love all Borderlands games equally and The PreSequel is definitely up there!

I can kind of get what you mean. I like TPS purely because of ClapTrap and the Story. But there’s something about its gameplay that just feels… meh? Like I’ve played a few others so I know it can be a blast. But some thing is a little off. Maybe I’ll take my friend and backtrack to Borderlands 1 for a bit
