    Writing has never been Borderlands strong suit, and I don’t expect it to get any better. The story will be bad, the dialogue will be bad, the jokes will be bad. They hit gold once with Borderlands 2, and never again. Will the gameplay be good? That’s the real question.

    The toilet humor wasn’t the issue. It was the NPC’s never ending stream of sarcastic and self referential monologuing involved with every single step of every quest. There was rarely a moment of silence where I could just focus on the gameplay.

      Vermintide and Left 4 Dead’s rolling commentary works because they use it strategically rather than filling every moment of time up with bullshit. Borderlands just got worse with each game until the third one went off the rails.
