I wish borderlands wasn't handled by the worst human beings alive. You could have had some really cool stuff here like giving more abilities to each character or making the gunplay really good but instead we got bordermemes 2 which was just awful. I haven't played the pre sequel, the only thing I even know about it is that it bombed horribly.
the first game was pretty good and it would have been so easy to make it better but they just fucked it up. is there even any RPG shooters being made? I really want a game that has the shooting of FEAR and the depth and customization of titan quest.

The "pre sequel" was even worse so you made a good decision. I of course pirated it but the memory of that horrible, slow, floaty gameplay and nightmarish writing still lingers. Stillborn is even worse. My guess is that whatever they do next will be somehow even worse than that.
Pretty much all game designers fall into the trap of making bullet sponge enemies. This effect is worse in an RPG type game because of the autistic need to include levelling. Actually making the enemies smarter / faster / bigger / more challenging as the game goes on simply does not occur to them. Instead they just use the same old enemies and give them an ever expanding pool of health. This fundamentally destroys any hope of good gameplay. They can't make the enemies more numerous because the engines and programmers they use are too shit.
You will see more games like Borderlands but they will continue along the same lines as Destiny and The Division and so they will be absolutely terrible.

The first game was mediocre, you have only yourself to blame for developing an attachment to something so shitty. Any feelings anyone had for that was either brainwashing from the millions they spent on marketing it to the moon, or "it's fun with friends" which could be said about throwing literal shit at each other.

I remember how much I loved the first game while just watching my brother play the second before GG was even a thing it just felt like all the fun had been sucked out for plot and what little humor was left that apparently devolved to shitty memes.

I think the thing that pisses me off more is that, they obviously COULD do things right Borderlands 1 was actually half good. How the fuck do you think Borderlands 2 even happened, like, just look at the toneshift between 1 and 2

Only played the first one and it was one of the most boring games I've ever played, only forced myself to finish it because I paid money for it, and then felt even more disappointed because of the ending of the game. It felt like singleplayer MMORPG gameplay in FPS. It might be the class I played though, I played as that sniper dude, don't remember his name atm. He had a bird I think
For recent RPG shooters, you have Toddout 4 which is closer to Minecraft than a shooter, new Deus Ex which I haven't played yet so I dunno how it is. Can't think of anything else atm

The first game was an actual adventure by bounty hunters for planetary scale treasure with plenty of quirky characters along the way you got to know and did shit for to progress both in terms of player growth and also how far you'd trekked deeper into dangerous territory.
The second just seems like some complete faggot asshole bought the entire planet and makes everyone's lives hell while you do your best to kill it with new abilities.
I once wanted to do the reverse of this if I'd ever been able to make my own studio with a serious first game that establishes the post apocalyptic setting through a human and a new race with different strengths fighting for different reasons to take charge of their lives then for the sequel it's a straight up party with the mutant infected, but not batshit crazy homicidal protagonist and his differently classed cynical and sarcastic buddies all of the same indigenous race fighting through wave after wave of superhuman and alien psychopaths as they try to find somewhere to settle down in the shit their world's become.

you're thinking of mordecai. he was actually my favourite character personally because I found a revolver called pestilent defiler and then I re specced my entire character around said weapon and that made me pretty much unstoppable for the rest of the game.
