They've had 3 games to fix these awful controls but they still feel like steering an SUV on ice, I think they just introduced a "hand-brake" in the newest one and its loving god awful.

Then they overcompensate by making the vehicle weapons ridiculously overpowered, I love Borderlands but the vehicles were always loving terrible to play. Race missions are worse than escort missions.

knoxx is great but it is seriously amazing that they didn't just put fast travel stations everywhere. the driving you do in that dlc is nuts.

I actually liked driving in the first games but they nerfed it in the second because you can't instagib enemies way higher than you by running them down which made it a bit of a hassle getting around since occasionally enemies would simply get in your way and box you in.

this is actually kind of true, the sand dunes in the second game were p fun to drive thru. still, the car handling is laughable at best for an open-world game.

Its infuriating to have to use the A and D keys to steer when common sense would make you use the mouse

Driving is by far the least offensively retarded part of the Borderlands.

driving off of cliffs and jumping out at the last second and watching my friend die never gets old.

pre sequel driving is even worse than the previous games. you'll turn your mouse to the left and it will instantly jerk itself over 90 degrees in a really awkward way that the car in bl2 never did when i played through it recently. bl2 car also felt a lot weightier which makes sense considering it wasnt set on the moon but that doesnt mean that the moon car is any less poo poo.

that hoverbike thing that they stole from unreal tournament 2k4 is okay though
