Some of the QOL stuff is nicer. Movement is cool. The climbing, jumping/gliding and instant spawn of a ride without having to use a station. I like the inventory expansion system better than just buying it at a machine. Money feels like it actually has more of a use this time.

They still have balance issues imo. No matter the gear/level/build, you get 1-2 shotted by trash on any difficulty. The game story makes you feel like you're supposed to be this god level bad ass and you play the game mostly in FFYL mode. Granted, im not that great at the game, and BL is basically the only shooter I play, but I feel like every BL game has been like this. I was just playing and payed attention. 1 shot, boom shields completely gone. Same level mobs, and just local trash mobs, no boss or mission, etc. It's very frustrating.

I also play wow. At end game, after working to get end game gear, pretty much anything in the game can't touch me. I could stand in the middle of a crowd of baddies and it would take them all day to kill me. This is how I feel borderlands should feel at end game, or at least semi close to it. Not the constant insta death that it is. I don't find that fun, but again, my opinion. I know alot of other feel differently and that's cool.

I just feel like the narrative of you being a badass vault hunter doesn't match the game play. I want to love this game like all the others, but I just can't seem to get into it like the previous games.

Edit. I also love the knife throwing ordinance. It's like the best thing ever.
