It's like they saw someone playing the other games and thought "we can do that too!" And totally missed the mark on so many shots. My favorite thing about the game is the part where we sit down and watch our friends get attacked and killed in cutscenes. I can't tell you how many times I shouted "I have a rocket launcher, a shotgun, an assault rifle, and a pistol! LET ME SHOOT HIM!"

Watching ____ die the most bullshit stupid death in video game history was what really dropped it down to a 3/10 for me. I HAVE GUUUUUUUNS LET ME SHOOT HIM. It's like they tried to recreate ______'s death from BL2, but they didn't realize that he died because ____ caught the entire group off guard. We didn't have time to shoot him before he teleported in, shot the guy, did a spoiler, and teleported out. We were watching Troy the ENTIRE TIME he was killing ____.

In B1 and B2 the humor was stupid but really funny, in B3 the writers seemed to focus on the stupid part and not on the funny part.

B3 felt like a test to see how bad they could write a game and still get people to buy it.
