Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don’t count. Let’s say it’s live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?

    Because if you truly love the series you will have also played TPS a lot. You can’t just keep playing 2 and then saying you’re a huge fan. That would make you a huge fan of Borderlands 2.

      That’s some gatekeeping bullshit. I’m a huge fan of several games in the series (1, 2, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Tales From the Borderlands). You can’t tell me I’m not a “true” fan just because I didn’t like every game with a Borderlands logo on it. That’s akin to saying someone isn’t a true Zelda fan if they don’t love the Zelda CDI games

          I played TPS. The low gravity was an awful mechanic and the humour writing was extremely unfunny. I never finished it.

          I didn’t bother playing the 3rd game because I heard the writing hadn’t improved much.

          But again, none of this matters. You don’t need to play every game in a franchise to be a fan of the series. That’s just gatekeeping.
