TPS is the best. I have played this TPS thing and I've come back again and again with much gusto. It is really the best borderland game play for me. I have my mind blown out every time I play this game where each character does amazingly well save for Jimmy , who is just too good to be true for that blend of skills and what not. .
I hope you used Athena during your first playthrough because she is just perfect if you are playing for the storyline. Although, I will have to disagree with you when you say TPS is the best Borderlands game.
