Review title of VagrantOMOIKANE Enjoyable, But With Disclaimers

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with BL3 from star to finish over tens of hours. That said, the story is an absolute trainwreck -- laughable, even. And the humor must be for a different generation because I found it... well, bland. I don't think I laughed a single time, in fact. More confused, than anything, most the time. In any event, we all come to this game with the expectation of Diablo with guns, and in that it largely succeeds. The gun variety is top-notch, though the character builds (like Diablo 3) have required numerous patches to try to balance. Such is the nature of the genre, I think. At bottom, this game suffers under the weight of its terrible story and obnoxious writing. If though things matured (much like Diablo 4 seems to be maturing into something less cartoon-like), I think there is a real winner here in the formula itself. Division 2, by comparison, is an example of a game that's pretty, but flat on the one thing that matters: loot.
