I like Timesplitters better.
I really liked Timesplitters Future Perfect's single player campaign. Cortez for the win.
Some of the humor really made me think of the Secret of Monkey Island's style of humor.
I wish there had been a PC port at the time as I would like to play this game again with a keyboard and mouse.
Such a damn shame that the studio making it had to sell to the studio that made Crysis.
Same here. I think i'm permanently burned out from the series, because since i have been done with the Pre-Sequel in 2015 i have had no motivation to ever replay any of the games i played.
The only thing that could perhaps make me install and play Borderlands 2 one more time is the DLC I mentioned; Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary as I liked the themes of the DLC and I liked the main villain Hector, a serious sane villain for a change who actually notices all the ridiculousness around him.
But once I have finished that DLC I will not touch BL2 or the other games again.
And even then it is the question if I really want to go through some of those bland maps.
I think the issue for me is that the series is a one trick pony. Wacky humor coming from wacky characters and the claim of gazillions of guns (which 98% are worthless and just junk to sell for money), with no deviation from this whatsoever.
That is the thing, it is a one trick pony.
You may play it the first time for the campaign, but should you want to play it again you really need some friends so you can at least do some farting around to make each other laugh.
And a lot of the humor really did not work for me, again because I can not care about the characters.
And this is a minor issue, but i'm kind of getting tired of every game in the series using the cel-shaded style. I think using different styles or at least greatly updating the style they are using would help alleviate the feeling of stagnation that the series has fallen into.
I have no problem with cell shaded graphics but I can understand your feelings that the designers should try out something else with the graphics.
A lot of fans probably will complain about that this style is an essential part of Borderlands even if you come with something just as good.
Like how some of the Zelda OoT/MM's people hated the graphics of Zelda The Wind Waker after they had seen that trailers years ago of somewhat realistic Link fighting Ganon.
I am trying to think of a game series in which I liked it that the graphic style was changed.
Well I liked how Metroid Prime went with a West reimagined style of the Metroid world.
As it was a spin off it did not affect the main series.
Rather I was disappointed with the 3D models the main series handles since Metroid Samus Returns as I find a lot of the models very ugly and I find that sprite art has more characters.
I am trying to find the video but I remember last year a fan making a Sonic game completely in the style of the graphics of the cartoon intro and outro of Sonic CD, it looked very good.
What if designers did something like that with Metroid?
