Borderlands 2

I actually quite enjoye the first game and I was really hyped to play this one and surprisingly I hated almost every moment of this game and I really don't wan't to play the third title. This game makes me want to rethink my stance as a completionist. I had good luck as a Mordecai Sniper in the first game so I picked Zero and specced for Sniping in this title as well, but that is probably the absolute worst way to play for a number of reasons: You scope out an area, slowly approach and pick people off methodically? Well, the game only spawns most enemies once you're practically close enough for them to melee you. You clear the room and want to move on to the objective? Oh, well, I guess the devs thought it would be more fun if you just sat there an recleared the room that they refill over and over again. Are you worried about having to walk back after dying? No problems, the devs thought of that, too. They'll just spawn you in the middle of the room you just cleared still full of the enemies who just murdered you. Also, those enemies, the devs thought it would be SOOOOO FUN if they added some that took 10+ critical hits from your highest damage sniper rifle while being able to one-shot you instead. After all, we need the NPCs to be having fun, too, right? The devs make you fight multiple of those at a time in some cases. It's almost as if the entire core gameplay is forcing you to do the same tedious reppetitive tasks on loop when there are so many better things you could be doing. I disagree with how combat works at its very foundation in this title and it's the one consistent thing you have to deal with throughout. And I'm really trying to like it. I really am. I kept thinking "maybe the build will come together in a few more levels. Maybe if I just get this gun. Maybe once I'm in the new game+." but it never gets better, it actually feels like it's getting less rewarding and more unfairly punishing as time goes on. 1/10 should never have purchased it even on sale.
