I'd actually argue that Lilith is faster than Maya though. Like sure, Maya is fast all the time (or can be, depending on build), but Lilith felt like a bullet when she was Phasewalking.
As I'm playing through, I'm of the thought that TPS didn't need the post-BL2 framework for the story.
Also
I get that the main story is about how Good Guy Jack becomes Handsome Jack, but the 1 side-mission I've done for him is straight Handsome Jack reacting to it, nothing else.

i don't think he was ever really 'good guy jack,' myself, i think he was more 'proto-asshole who hasn't yet encountered the rush of killing people yet Jack,' it might be that the BL2 colours my perceptions some, but he seems like a petty-scheming douche-nozzle from pretty early on in tPS

...Well, yeah, he's a Hyperion employee.

He's basically incapable of recognizing his own faults. Everything that he does gets rationalized as being for the greater good, even if the decision is selfish or irrational. Since he doesn't understand that his mistakes are mistakes, he's unable to learn from them or even to stop them when they're in progress.
TPS is basically him building up layers of delusion until he's unable to function as anything other than a supervillain.
5H4D0W-TP/EOS fight is pure, unmitigated bullshit.
Yeah, EOS felt like it could've been one of those optional raid bosses, but they didn't have a good place to stick it so they stuck it at the end of the story.
Like, yeah, it's awesome that it has a guaranteed chance to drop a leggo, but it sucks that people who are just going for story completion have to suffer through it. Heck, could've given us a gimped version for the story quest fight, and then put the real one in there if you ever come back to it.

5H4D0W-TP was kind of fun in a hectic and flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of way, so when it was defeated, I was happy that I made it through and glad to be done.
Then EOS started, and I spent the next however long almost dying and trading complaints with my co-op buddy. That should absolutely been an optional raid boss or something. Fuck ever doing that again, even for farming.
Man, I really want a poster with "my" versions of the Vault Hunters posing like they do on the main menu screen.
Also, Claptrap as a playable character suuuuuucks.

Sounds like someone needs a high five!
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

I was at Moxxi's Up Over and like in many places, there's a spot where there's a shitload of posters. Most of these are irrelevant, but there's two that are partially covered up; Maya and Axton's Wanted posters. Maya's is obvious because it says has her name/reward (which is how you know it's there), but Axton's is the top third or so where it's just his obscured haircut.
I think Mikey Neumann's got some chops, but given a choice I would definitely have picked Anthony Burch to write game 3. I hope he'll still be involved in some way.
I'd prefer Neumann over Burch, but if Burch was involved, I wouldn't have a problem with it. BL2 is my favorite in the franchise, which Burch was lead on, but it did tend to go a little too heavy on the absurd, plus all the references to other stuff did get old after a while.
A game in the universe that's closer in tone to the first game would be appreciated.
Oh, flash sales... i have most all the BL stuffs on Steam already, but i was drunk, and pretty tired, and had some cashes in the US psn account's wallet...
So, yeah, i've got the Handsome Collection now. It looks and plays so much better than on my piddly little laptop. Started up a run in Pre-Sequel with the Doppelganger (wish i could port over my pc data and streamline things abit, but such is life). Only up to the Moonshot cannon part of the intro, but the interactions with real-Jack are definitely a hoot.
So, about those improved drop rates in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!...
Gear:
Weapon 1 - Thunderfire. Despair in Claptrap DLC, second try.
Weapon 2 - Rustler's Moonface. Quest Reward.
Weapon 3 - All-in Cheat Code. Quest Reward.
Weapon 4 - Heap'd Badaboom. Grinder, second try.
Shield - Black Hole. Raid version of the final boss, first try.
Class Mod - Celestial Gladiator. A friend actually hooked me up with this so it doesn't count, but whatever.
Grenade Mod - Stormfront. A goddamned red chest behind RedBelly.
Oz Kit - 3DD1.E. The Dr. Who mission, first try.
Hilariously, most (felt like 90%) of the time the Red Chests were all greens, but when they weren't, there probably was an Orange in there. Or it was one of those "All Cash/Moonstone" ones. So those got passed around with the people I was playing with or Stashed for another character.
Additionally -- and this is a great strength of Overwatch's writing across the board, not just within its more stereotypical characters -- the dialog is not annoying. Characters don't really make capital-J Jokes, and they don't say anything particularly bizarre that would draw your attention more than it ought to. Battle dialog, especially battle dialog in multiplayer games, needs to be frictionless. It needs to convey information, do so concisely, and, above all, not be fucking annoying.
I'm probably more guilty of this last sin than anyone. Much of the battle dialog in Borderlands 2 is filled with capital-G Goofz, which can make it extremely irritating when you hear the same line twice. My bad.

Picked up 212 keys, a years' worth of holiday skins/heads for all the characters, 2 shotguns, an AR, and a sniper rifle.

I just used my sniper rifle and pinged shots at the big glowy eye thing.
wasn't even able to clear it with athena and athena is really good.
Wasn't really worth the effort to be honest.

Definitely. Story-wise it takes place afterwards.

Yeah, it's a direct sequel, more so than the DLCs from previous games.
