To me Borderlands 2 is the unholy offspring of Halo and Diablo. A FPS set in a Halo-like universe with a Diablo gameplay. I found myself not caring about the story line and basically just doing quest after quest after quest. To be honest, there was a point during the game where I wasn't even sure I knew what the game was about. It felt like doing one big puzzle and a bunch of smaller puzzles on the side where you forget what the big puzzle was supposed to be. Now despite being boring in a few spots I definitely got some kicks from this game. The TMNT reference was great although I don't remember them ever liking marshmallows on their pizza. I went through as a Siren and some of the things that Maya says after headshots were pretty good. Borderlands 2 certainly is a game that you can just pick up on a rainy day and play without having to worry about feeling lost. I have been told that playing multiplayer made the game much more enjoyable, but I really didn't see how. Maybe my standards are just too high, but despite this game being solid in every aspect I wasn't gaga over it. It's like Hawkeye from the Avengers. Pretty cool, but no one's watching him. Everyone has their eyes on Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson = Wow).
I give this game a Meh and Wait for a sale. (Maybe a Black Friday pickup? I'm just saying)
Also forgot, that Claptrap might just be the most annoying thing in a game...ever.
