I can't tell you exactly why, but as much as I played and replayed borderlands 1&2, the third one didn't interest me at all, I can see that the recipe used the same ingredients but it just didn't taste the same to contribute the metaphor. It just bored me and my wife during our coop campaign, and we didn't have any desire to continue our playthrough. I hope they get it back with four but I don't trust them enough anymore to buy it blindly anyway.
I don't know if there's even anything to get back. Is it that 3 was bad or is it just that Borderlands doesn't interest us anymore? I honestly don't know, but I think it's at least partially the latter for me. I've played much better games since, and I don't really find that formula appealing anymore. Almost everything it created has been used to make better products since, so is there even a reason to care about them anymore?
