I want to like the games, and admittedly some of the boss fights are legitimately entertaining, but it's just so damn repetitive.
I think I brought this up in the overrated games thread, oh well.
THIS. This this this so much.
I started playing Borderlands 1 a few months back thinking "hell yeah, everyone always has gamegasms about this game". It was really fun for a while, then I started realising that every mission was exactly the same, every enemy was just copy pasted everywhere, and after my 7000th fetch-quest I just thought "screw it, I'm done". It pissed me off because the gameplay was so fun and it got ruined by the paper-thin story line and terrible repetitive missions.
