I agree with him though. At least the children part. There's no doubt that Borderlands is targeted to a younger audience with the cartoony graphics and the immatrure, dry humor.

We all play video games so we all still have some semblance of a child.

That is very true. But, gaming over the years has broadened for adults and not just E for Everyone. Borderlands feels like a T for Teen kind of game to me, and a lot of other people. But there are a lot of adults, those that enjoy stupid things like TV shows like South Park, Brickleberry, and JackAss, that enjoy immature, dry, moronic humor. I'm not one of those adults. Yes, I may have some child in me since I still play games, but the child in me that liked to watch cartoons, that liked to watch people get kicked in the balls, that liked to make "yo momma" jokes; that part is gone.

Borderlands is just fun I can't really understand how someone would just subject themselves to pass over fun content just because they don't want to feel childish. I can understand not liking the style of content because it's very different from anything out (saints row is an exception) but really I wouldn't let my child play this game simply because it pokes fun at everything using adult themes and I think gearbox knows this.

I don't pass it up because I don't want to "feel childish". I pass it up because I'm not into it because the game itself feels childish. Plus, Saint's Row and all the GTA games don't have the childish feel to them, but they sure as crap have the immature feel to them. I don't like them either. I mean, I will play them, and enjoy the campaign, but the immature feeling comes from the mindless killing of random pedestrians and running people over. It's just not my thing. It was when I was around the age of 13, but not anymore. One of my favorite games when I was younger, was a game called Carmageddon. It was like Twisted Metal, Car vs. Car, but you could run over people and see blood splatter all over the car. I liked Postal 2 when I was a kid even though I shouldn't have played it, peeing out fires and stuff like that. But that type of humor isn't for me anymore. I just grew out of it. Some people never do, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Exactly it's ok to not like that style but it's not ok to decide to not like that style

What? That sentence is a little confusing. It's okay to not like something, but it's not okay to choose to not like it? Isn't that called a double negative? So it's okay for me to say I don't like Borderland's style, but it's not okay to decide that I don't like Borderland's style. Gotcha'.
