Which was actually a bloody fantastic idea. You don't see people complaining about Reese's Peanutbutter Cups being just a combination of chocolate and peanutbutter.
I really like the Borderland's IP. It's witty and filled to the brim with dark humor, it scratches my loot collecting itch, and the gameplay is simply a lot of fun. It might be a combination of other things, but in a landscape of FPS games that are basically the same thing, it manages to be one of the most unique.
It has a quest-line that's basically a re-creation of Yojimbo, for cat's sake, and some of the best characters to ever grace videogames. I would marry both Tanis and Handsome Jack if I could.
