      It’s hard to consider an 81 on OpenCritic to be a trainwreck. People tend to buy games that review well, especially when it’s a co-op shooter with basically no competition.

        bl3 is a fine game. its just critics of it are so very vocal that nobody feels like saying they like it.

        Damn I had to look that up cause it seemed unbelievable. I am shocked it reviewed that well. It just seemed so awful to me.

        Am I so out of touch?? No, the children are.

          You aren’t out of touch. Even the worst games don’t get that poor of a review. When you job depends on being on their side, it turns out you can’t voice an honest opinion.

          Nah, that game’s great. The writing’s not good, especially for the villains, but people like that game because it’s good.

      I honestly don’t know what this “trainwreck” talk is. BL3 was passable. I didn’t like the antagonists, but the game played fine if purples dropped way too much and the new guns weren’t great. People make it seem like it was the Worst Game Ever and I don’t get it. The pre-sequel was hot garbage, but 3 was fine.

        there’s no nuance in anything anymore. you can’t just say “oh this isn’t really for me, honestly.”

        you have to write 18 paragraphs about the fall of the video game industry because of this one game and how its hot trash, kills newborns while they sleep, etc.

      From what I hear from people actually able to play the game, it’s better than 3.

      Something like:

      2 > 4 > 1 > 3 > Pre-Sequel
