As someone who has only played BL2 ( got it in 2013 for my 11th birthday, I legit cried) , I loved this next installment. I loved the story, the representation, and the call backs to things in past games. What I did not like though was the difficulty system. I like how I had no choice of having an easy mode with bl2. As someone who compulsively plays on easy sometimes, the lack of an easy difficulty setting in bl2 was a good challenge & made me a better player. With bl3 I have now backpedaled. I don't feel like I accomplished anything anymore, I am not forced to work hard as I am given an easy way out. Other than that, I love it!
