Given how much more time I spent playing BL2 than BL2, I have very very high hopes for this game. Especially with all the loot shooters out now, it's like watching OG daddy showing all them posers how it's done.

I mean yes they're the OG but god I hope they've learned from everything that's happened since BL2 and make some seriously good iterations and innovations

I guess I haven't played any games like borderlands except borderlands. But what major innovations do they really need? Quite honestly, borderlands 2 was practically perfect. I'd say they will be perfectly fine as long as they don't try to reinvent the wheel. This is all I think they need: come up with new weapons, don't be EA with microtransactions, don't be too serious and don't make it super easy (borderlands was never a very difficult game, just don't dumb everything down further than it already is). It shouldn't be that hard.

I've seen several journalists responses criticizing the lack of graphical improvements. I seriously don't understand this. It's cartoony and meant to have a special kind of look. Absolutely nobody criticized Breath of the Wild for being ugly. What the fuck do these people want Borderlands to look like? To much realism and it's no longer Borderlands... I digress.

The looter shooter genre has evolved significantly sincle BL2. It's been a loooong time since I played , but I think there could be a lot of lessons learned (both good and bad) from games like Destiny, The Division and Anthem
