    I’d be fine with that, if that had been criticism the games had ever received. But… this just seems like their own personal hangip?

      I see that complaint pretty often when borderlands gets brought up, though it’s not “this game sucks because of the humor”

          To be clear, I’m not one of the people complaining. The game wouldn’t be different for me with or without the humor.

          Hey man, enjoy! I don’t feel strongly about the dialogue either way but it’s apparently polarizing for a lot of people.

          I’ve played most of the games in the series and enjoyed them so I’m neither a hater nor a stan
