This review is right after I finished my first playthrough. I played as a robot, went down an invisibility skill tree, had a pet monkey that used a shotgun. I can't use those words in the same sentence in any other game. I played BL2, a lot. Maybe not as much as other people, but I played it a lot. The story of BL2 was phenomenal to say the least. Story of BL3, not so much. The gameplay, the feeling the guns gave, they were miles better than BL2, but the story, not gonna lie it sucked. Anyway, this isn't a comparison between the games, right?

Let me just do a pros - cons thingy down here;
Pros
+The music, in my opinion, the music was amazing. Especially in the final boss fight, I loved what the sound designers did.
+The gameplay, as I said above, the gameplay is very very good. From climbing to sliding to 3 different action skills for each character, I loved every single aspect of gameplay they put in the game.
+Characters, some of the new characters they've introduced were really good, Wainwright for example, I never thought Jakobs CEO would be so chill.
+Voice lines, I played as FL4K only right now, but the responses and other things FL4K said were close to my reactions, which made me laugh in certain situations, as for the jokes, we'll get there later.

Cons
-Jokes, let's stay on the subject, the jokes were terrible. They were cheesy, cringe-worthy and not funny. The only thing I laughed at which was an actual joke was Tannis' nihilist joke, which was pretty funny not gonna lie.
-The story, oh my god they somehow managed to butcher this amazing potential with a story like this. It was easy to guess what was gonna happen next, they tried REALLY hard to make the villains be a step ahead of you all the time, sometimes even TOO hard.
-Final boss fight, the only good thing about this fight is the music. Throughout the game, every single character hypes you up for this fight. I was actually excited when I arrived at the boss arena, but then I realized it was just every single boss fight throughout the game mashed into a single fight with the boss screaming random voice lines that are supposed to be threatening while you shoot its head off its body. It was terrible nonetheless.
-Claptrap, I loved Claptrap in the games before, but now he has turned into a delusional retarded robot.
-Lilith, you need to play the game to know what I'm talking about, I'm at a loss of words to describe this.

Even though it might seem like I didn't like the game at all, I enjoyed playing through it. I recommend you buy the game if you played the other installments of the series.
