I can not believe this game was delayed so many times. It feels rushed. While it's not the worst game I have played this year, it is the most disapointing. It's nothing like the game that Gearbox promised us. The vehicle combat is awfull. They control worse than a shopping trolley full of bricks. Plus the level design is way to small to make the most of vehicles. Which brings me on to my next gripe. The level design is bad. It's small and pokey.
The promise of a gazzilion guns in this game was a huge exaggeration. The reality is there is between 20 and 30 weapons. There's just a gazillion variations of those guns. Plus the rocket launchers feel under-powered. They just don't do enough splash damage and the rockets move way to slow.
I like this game, but I find it the most frustrating game I have played in a long time.
The lack of a trading system is odd. Considering the game encourages you to play with with other people. It doesn't break the game, but it does give people the oppertunity to take advanatge. Take the best gear and quit. It's also odd that the game does not allow the player to customise the appearance of their character.
The game rewards you with better items for completing quests. Problem is, the reward is often given to just the person who hands the quest in. Which leads to people rushing to hand the quest in, and quiting. Seems a tad unfair to me.
The game could do with a storage locker. I am always running out of room in my inventory. So many weapons and equipment I can't use until I level up. Plus so much loot to give to friends.
P.S
I over reacted. The game is not as bad as I initially made out. It is a lot of fun, especially with good friends,. It's far from perfect though. 3 stars is a more accurate score.
