I stuggled with it so many times. I think Borderlands games, in general, are the ones I tried the most to enjoy, because everything about it is cool to me, the eastetic, the characters, the presentation...
I restarted the first at least 4 times, alone and in coop, thinking the problem was that it doesn't work as a solo experience. I layed the sniper and then I tried the gunman because, maybe, the sniper is not that enjoyable.
Then I got the 2, because maybe the first was too raw and basic.
I just... don't have fun.
I point the cursor toward waves of spongy healthbars, and then I get server a giant plate of paralyzing choices between 64 billion gear options that clutter me and my frail mind.
I ended up loving Tales from the Borderlands: all the good from the worldbuilding and none of the gameplay loop.
I love the Borderlands games (at least 1 and 2, I haven't played the others yet), including just in single-player, buuuuut I do concede that they have an issue with way too much junk loot. It's way too infrequent that you find an actual upgrade for your favorite weapons (especially in Borderlands 2).
