Ehhhhhhhh I'm kinda torn.
I most certainly will not deny that I played the crap out of an THOROUGHLY enjoyed BL 1. The expansions were absolutely brilliant (except that Crimson Armory was easy as hell to get bugged and glitched on the final mission). Think Zombie Island was my favorite expansion...the intro/ending movies were HILARIOUS!
That said, however, I fully understood and couldn't help but agree with the one major criticism of the game: good GOD is it repetative! Every quest: "Go here and clear out the bandits". The end. You might be hunting for a specific random item for someone, but it all boils down to "The bandits are there...go kill'em." Which makes the game pretty much just a mindless shooter: here's a buncha guns, go shoot stuff with'em.
But then again, like I said, that formula did succeed at helping me absolutely MURDER countless numbers of poor, innocent hours and days that never did nothin' to no one. Which is why I'm so torn. By the time I was done playing BL 1, I was actually pretty sick of it...but for the time that I was playing it, I would have called it one of my favorite games of the current console generation. It'll probably come down to a coin-flip, and I mean that in all honesty. I just hope that if I do get BL 2, the game isn't absolutely ruined by people coming in my game and throwing god-mode modded weapons and shields at me then leaving. xP
