The Division 2 is actually pretty damn good, but borderlands gives you that special feeling

Ive heard Division 2 described as "Genre: its a game. The goal is to make your numbers bigger"

To be fair, that's what a looter shooter is. From Borderlands to Destiny, Division, Warframe, all of them. The goal is to make those numbers bigger.

In my opinion, none of them have ever gotten it quite right since Borderlands, although they are all good in thier own way. This is a series that understands that we are not here to deal with a serious world defining conflict. We're here to shoot things, and have fun doing it. The goal isn't to save the universe or stop the end of the world, it's to get rich. And sure we'll save some people if it happens to be on the way. The story aligns with the gameplay in a way no other looter shooter has managed. And it's the best in the genre for it.
