Complaining that Borderlands 3 has a juvenile tone, while praising the first two games great stories, feels disingenuous. Or, at the very least, it reads as excessively nostalgic.

Borderlands 2 was written by Anthony Burch, and featured a lot of HAWP style humor. It had plenty of material that didn't land but plenty that hit the mark.

Burch also set a bar that 3 failed abysmally.

Yeah, but borderlands 2 feels like it was written by a funnier 13 year old that's kind of self aware. 3 has a more "hello fellow children" vibe to it.
