    I’d be fine with that, if that had been criticism the games had ever received. But… this just seems like their own personal hangip?

      I see that complaint pretty often when borderlands gets brought up, though it’s not “this game sucks because of the humor”

      It’s usually people saying they loved the humor as a kid but now they find it kind of cringey and don’t have any interest in playing it.

        I’m not totally sure I agree, my wife and I just played through BL 2 and laughed most of the way. Just as we both seperately did a decade-ish prior. The humor itself didn’t age poorly, just BL3 and Presequal.

          To be clear, I’m not one of the people complaining. The game wouldn’t be different for me with or without the humor.
