i just replayed TPS in march and 2 did the main game and all DLC two or three weeks ago and i agree it loks far worse and the gun combat does not hold up or look nearly as good as three is lookingI've been looking at some preview impressions and the sentiment of "you could tell me this is a BL2 expansion and I'd believe you" is not hitting for me.
I replayed those games earlier this year and the gunplay fucking sucks in those games. This looks super improved from the perspective of combat design. Sure, the gameplay loop is the same, but it looks really tightened up.
