Is it still worth playing?

Gearbox's 2012 action role playing first person shooter for the PlayStation 3, Windows and Xbox 360, in a semi open world. On the planet Pandora, a new group of Vault Hunters joins the Crimson Raiders, a resistance group, to defeat the tyrannical Handsome Jack before he unlocks a new Vault. You pick from four base classes, Axton, Maya, Zer0 and Salvador, each with an Action Skill and three skill trees. The guns are where the variety lies. Loot is procedurally generated, with six weapon types, manufacturer traits and elemental effects. In a fight, shields regenerate before health is touched, and downed players respawn at New U stations. With friends, up to four can play co op online or in split screen, with difficulty and loot scaling with the number of players. A huge range of guns and builds, shared by friends in co op, still gives it reasons to replay today.
