Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 is the next in line in the franchise, and is the continuation of the vault hunting story from there.  It plays in a very similar manner to all Borderlands games, providing you incentive to go kill room after room of monsters/aliens/rival gangs.

In the beginning it's really amusing to have this crazy wacky future where bandit leaders are wearing underwear headdresses and talking bro-speak as a mission backdrop, but it's really a one trick pony in that regard.  It would be like walking across the country with Joe Pesci doing a Joe Pesci gangster impression, at first you would be amused and pleased with the free food you get at a random diner every so often.  But then on day 173 you want to murder anything or anyone that makes him start in on his bit.  Oh .. Yeah ... HA HA.  HA HAAAAAAAA!

Anyways, there is only so long that you can mask a shooter that is room full of enemies after room full of enemies, in the end you have to make me want to play in some way.  Visible accomplishments or meaniful world changing/building/revenging.
