    Never having played Borderlands… is the game actually this unapologetically stupid? I chuckled at a few bits in the trailer, but I felt bad for doing it.

      The humor in the games is definitely “stupid” but not as cringe as this movie looks.

        No, it’s exactly as cringe as this movie looks. There’s a horse called Butt-Stallion in the games.

          Yeah but in context it’s actually pretty hilarious. Handsome Jack’s monologues made borderlands 2 for me. Such a great villain.

      Borderlands 1 is stupid and fun, Borderlands 2 is stupid and fun with more flamboyant characters, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel is like Borderlands 2 but Australian and shorter, Borderlands 3 is too stupid and annoying to be much fun with a shitload of influence humor in it.

      I will gladly recommend playing B1 and B2, and if you want more B2 get TPS.

      B3 is just annoying.

      B2 is my favourite in the series

      It is definitely a stupid game, but this feels a lot like it fan fiction written by someone’s nephew.

      Yes. Humour is dumb. Some jokes work, some jokes don’t. Not everyone agrees on which ones are funny.
