I took my time with this game, streamed the whole thing, tried my best to be optimistic of the whole experience, I even let them get patches out before I pulled any triggers on any judgements. I paid full price for this game like a true fan.

And yet I can't whole heartedly say "You HAVE to play this one".
It runs poorly even on high tier computer equipment and they butchered the ending.
It's similar to a "Tales of" game where the combat is the star of the show. But a Tales game knows how to write an ending that's satisfying and they usually have a fake out or a great reason to keep playing after you beat it. This ain't it. The fake out was lazy and the final boss is just a glorified normal Psycho with very little going on when they built him up to be super cool.

The character writing is good though. Zane is, and always has been him. He will continue to be him till the end of time and it's great to see him in action.

The game loves crashing not only to desktop, but my whole system after 2 hours of streaming (which is different than just playing I know, so your mileage may vary on this) but it has a lot of really annoying glitches that only effect coop partners like bullets not coming out of the gun while spending ammo or arbitraily getting caught on the game's geometry even when you're standing on flat ground with no obstructions.

I'm not sure how a single soul gave this game a 10/10. Borderlands 2 continues to be the best in the series. ♥♥♥♥ Randy Pitchford.
