I remember this too. The second time I played it I had a pretty good explosive assault rifle which made killing all those skeletons actually fun while it was an annoying slog without it. And well, it helps to get the golden key codes from Twitter or wherever and using them in Sanctuary to get better guns. > So quest elements are repeated & distances to be travelled lengthened > more than is entertaining. > The 'little' side quests offer the most fun. > I realized I'd had enough when around 30% in I was confronted > with a difficult Boss battle in arena setting. > The Boss is JUST tough with hard assistants. > So just a matter of blasting away with little sense of skill until the > Boss was down. > BUT THEN ! the game immediately put up another Boss - different name > but same thing > & looks. > After that yet a 3rd - Same as the others. > No fun for me.
