Claptrap was endearing in the first game but Anthony Derp's writing made him insufferable in the second.
BL2 story was terrible. String of shitty meme jokes.
I'd rather that than meme jokes.BL2 story was terrible. String of shitty meme jokes.
And BL 1 was the typical "find 4 piece of X then defeat endboss" with little to no NPC interaction. In other words, a typical shitty Bioware story.
BL1 was good and BL2 was better in most respects. The humour even worked a lot of the time - Handsome Jack is one of the most memorable video game villains of the past decade IMO. The major failing of BL2 was the fact that Gearbox somehow thought people gave a shit about their storyline and characters - no, Lilith and Roland are not interesting enough that I want to stand by idly while they tell me what is going on in the fucking game. This was especially grating during New Game+ or alternate character playthroughs.
BL is essentially a first-person comedy version of Diablo and at least Diablo had the option to click through the dialogue if you didn't care about it. No more unskippable pseudocutscenes, please!
I will 1DP BL3. I will likely enjoy it quite a bit as well if they manage to improve on BL2. But fuck that prequel nonsense - it's just an expensive DLC.

But don't you need to sit there and wait for them to update your objectives? Pretty sure they don't tell you to go to place X to shoot psycho Y until they're done chatting about irrelevant shit.
