Early game could be rough and late game if your build sucked even worse, once you get that setup though everything was just insta gibbed. Gaige being the dumbest OP one out there. Literally fire at the ground to kill everything with auto aiming bullet bounce.

I was way late to the party and got the remaster on PS4 and I stopped playing for this reason. I felt like I was shooting a concrete block with a rubber band gun and it just wasn't fun. The shooting just didn't feel solid, and nothing died to anything less than a full clip of ammo. To this day I know I was playing it wrong, but just didn't know how.

2.5's story was some try-hard cringy bullshit. The gameplay was innovation where it wasn't needed.
Anthony Burch(lead writer for 1 and 2, and I think he was involved in 2.5) turned into a literal cuck.
Pitchford thinks it's a good idea to put porn on a USB stick.
All signs point to this sucking.

Is Burch still there? He's the guy whose wife convinced him to open their marriage right? Only he didn't actually get laid and she was getting plowed by everyone? If he's still writing, there's no hope for this.

Don't know. But if having to deal with the stress of your wife wanting to openly cheat on you produced the crazy narrative in 1 and 2...that magic is likely gone. Last I remember, he was starting to go a little nuts himself, I remember him pictured in a dress, that sort of stuff.
No idea where he is now. There's an actor with the same exact name that's making easy googling hard.

I hope the game-play is good, but I don't really have any hope of the story being good. Gearbox is full on SJW so it'll probably be a hamfisted mess. This series is oddly polarizing in discussions when I run across them. People either love the games or hate them.

Yeah I don't think my builds were that terrible. I could be wrong though. Gaige was the Mechromancer? She was pretty cool. I think I lost interest midway through my first playthrough with her(which was my 3rd).

End game gunzerker was supposedly the most OP to retarded degrees. Though Gaige was almost boring because of how well she did with minimal effort.
One thing that made the game fun for me was also making sure to get the community patch. It has a ton of features that seems to benefit the game and the way it plays out. Including tweaks to talent trees in good ways etc. It's pretty fun with friends too, since whoever hosts the game applies the game effects to the clients, so not everyone needs to get it
I really miss that feature about a lot of games where just the server ran a mod and all the clients got the benefit without having to do much of anything, if anything at all.

Matching elemental damage to enemy weaknesses is pretty important and RNG can screw you with shitty weapons.
Outside of that I don't remember it being very bullet spongy before finishing new game+

I wanted to play borderlands 2 and even tried again within the last month. However, I still get motion sickness when I try and it's the only game to ever do this to me. Wish they had an option to turn off head Bob.

He left Gearbox to write for some small video company for a while, and then landed a job with Riot. He may have left Riot recently but I don't think he has any involvement with Gearbox so you won't have to worry about losing your WiiU in BL3.

Edit WillowGame.ini (the file will be in the config folder where your saves are. I don't know where this is on Windows)
There is a property listed under [WillowGame.WillowPawn] called bWeaponBob
Change it to:
bWeaponBob=FALSE
Also search for bob anything and make it 0 or false. Also increase your FoV while you are at it. If that works for you I would be down to give it another go.

Details have leaked which the teaser above seems to confirm (regarding the identities of the Big Bad as well as the 4 new Vault Hunters)
Borderlands 3 gameplay and classes
- Four new vault hunters
- Abilities have been reworked, everyone now has multiple action skills instead of one
- Flak the Beastmaster is a homeless-looking android. He can summon multiple creatures to help him fight. The AI for this is what delayed announcement last October. So hopefully it's fixed now.
- The female seen in the UE4 demo last year is a Valdof character who is the gunner class. She can summon a bear mech on which other players can ride. Summons the mech like in Titanfall. No word on how this works indoors.
- The older male is like Batman. He's the stealth/assassin character. He's rich and uses gadgets for his action skills.
- There's a black female Siren character. She's melee oriented like Brick was. She will have several siren abilities like phase-lock, phase-shift, and a ground pound skill.
- NPCs can revive you now if you're close enough and go into FFYL (fight for your life, a mechanic in the series that allowed players to continue if they kill an enemy who downed them)
- Guns are reworked. You'll have changeable gun parts of various rarities/stats. You'll be able to alter the type of gun, the firing rate, the reload speed, the stability, and element as you find new parts.
- All elements returning except Slag, Laser, and Ice. New elements are rumoured and the only lead says "nuclear" is one of them.
- Takes place 5 years after the end of Borderlands 2/Borderlands The Pre-Sequel.
- Tannis is not what she seems.
- AI Jack may be back, but he's not the villain.
- Rhys is back as CEO of Atlas. Atlas is back as a manufacturer. Gorty is back to help the player find multiple vaults in the game. Not just one vault this time. Tina is back as an adult. No word on the others but you can expect cameos from everyone like in Borderlands 2.
- Writing is more like Borderlands 1 than Borderlands 2.
- The bad guys are The Calypso Twins. One is a female siren (as only females can be sirens) and the other is a male who somehow has siren powers. Either he figured out a way to give anyone siren powers or the bond between twins allows him to share his sister's powers. They're rumored to be ex-Atlas employees.
- The Calypso twins rule The Children of the Vault, a cult mob that will replace Bandits/Scavs as the default human mob.
- They will have their own weapon brand.
- All brands returning except Bandit/Scav.
- You'll start on Pandora but leave shortly into the game on Sanctuary 3, the Crimson Raider's ship. It will be the hub for multiple planet locations.
- We're going to Promethea.
