Been a fan since Borderlands 1. I have spent several hours with this game and really wanted to like it. Character development is lacking and it feels there is no connection. Biggest issue is leveling though. In previous games if you were in a tough spot, you could level up to get past it. This game took a different approach, enemies level with you. Sometimes staying 5 levels ahead of you. So you never really feel like a bad ass vault hunter.
Also, the hovercraft seems like a destiny knockoff.
I do like the open world concept
