Borderlands 2, 4-pack deal

[Steven P Jobs]

I definitely notice plateaus here and there. However death isn't really punished as money is basically worthless in the game except for buying ammo, so it's not a big deal.

What they really nailed in this game is making some really cool areas. A few are still kind of boring, but for example the area where you first meet Mordecai is so diverse and fun.

The writing is all over the place. Handsome Jack is really great, all the returning cast is great, etc. But the Zoologist guy who you meet at the very beginning of the game sounds like he was written by some neckbeard reddit kid, Tiny Tina is borderline unbearable, and so on. I could also do without all the internet meme stuff they put into the game, I feel like that's a really bad trend in gaming right now. Make up your own funny jokes, don't just take some stupid trollface or whatever thing and put it in your game.
