2 is much better than 1

I agree, but I also understand why some like 1 better. The writing is generally more subtle than 2 (still not a serious game, by any means, but not leaning into it quite as hard as 2 and especially later games did), slag as a mechanic isn't the most interesting (it basically amounts to "hit things with slag first, then with everything else," which is more involved than "just hit things with the element they're weak to," but not by enough to be really interesting), and the focus on target farming legendaries is a bit of a double-edged sword. I like being able to target farm so I can complete builds, but it does mean that just playing through the campaign, you very rarely see really exciting drops because they're so often outclassed by the occasional boss drop legendary you get that tides you over for the next 10-15 levels. It kind of takes the fun out of the "looter" part of the looter-shooter, and I get why people who like that "do the best you can with what you get" aspect don't like it as much as 1.
