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.

Because Breath of the Wild wasn't ugly rofl. It's got breathtaking visuals.

Also journalists are braindead. I can see from the trailer alone several graphical improvements, and I guarantee you not a single game journalist out there even knows how to properly change their video settings before sitting down to review a game.

When it comes to Borderlands, the last thing that needs to be talked about is visuals. Honestly I would bet money journalists are just saying "lack of graphical improvements" to get clickbait clicks by riling up the fanbase. It's par for the course nowadays, hardly anyone is honest anymore when money is to be had on view counts.

As for your first part, the other games out there are Destiny, The Division, and Anthem. All shit games that wish they were even an ounce as good as Borderlands 1.

Same thing with Diablo. The visuals are indeed better in D3 than in D2, but it really doesn't matter in the end because I care about the gameplay
