    -The dialogue in this game is some of the cheesiest woke nonsense i've heard. None of the jokes are funny, The accents pierce ears and none of the new characters are interesting.

    -The villains are boring. Of all the things they could have gone with they thought a pair of cult influencers poking fun of real life influencers was the best option.

    -By the endgame, legendries are anything but legendary as they drop constantly.    … Expand

It was a jankey, buggy mess upon release, but that isn't what the real problem is. Nope, what really craps all over this game is the writing. Instead of just doing what they've done for multiple games and just try and be witty and clever, they tried to pander to the lowest common denominator with political correctness dripping from every orifice. Be careful guys, 3 whole people might get offended that there are too many penises and not enough vaginas in this game. Gotta make the whole thing a YouTube vlog so the kiddies will totally relate. Gotta **** on every established character and elevate anyone new with a vagina to godhood. Lilith doesn't count, cause we actually like Lilith. Honestly, who thought it was a good idea to hire fresh out of collage writers who don't care about consistancy or respect for established lore and only care about making sure no one is offended? Because they should be fired... out of a cannon, into the sun. I respected Gearbox for telling an engaging story that made sense, with a villian that can be considered one of the best in all of gaming. To go from that to the entitled, insufferable, ****ty Hot Topic employee wannabe brats is actually impressive in its incompetence. Oh, but how can we forget the equally entitled, unworthy, insufferable, disrespectful, undignified little **** that pops up half way through the game and gets everyone she cares about killed. Only to be rewarded with God-like power and undue respect from broken, striped down, disrespected characters we have grown with and loved? I'm utterly impressed with the absolute heel turn Borderlands 3 is from Borderlands 2. I didn't know it was possible to screw things up that badly. My only hope is that the people in charge of these absolute braindead decisions at Gearbox reads every one of these 0 to 1 star reviews so they can feel a fraction of the disappointment they have bequeathed to their fandom with what can only be adequately described as Satan's **** of a game. Fire whoever was responsible for this waste of space in my gaming library and go back to respecting your story and your fans. Or you can sit in a circle with J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson with your fingers in your ears so you can't hear how you took a media Titan and crumbled it into what is akin to a steaming pile of dog vomit.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just finished this game after buying it with a group of friends months ago. We couldn't make it to 7th chapter due to a mind-numbing story.
    Story
    The story is S**T The people that made this game lacked love for the Borderlands series, and it shows through their portrayal of the characters in the series that we had grown to love. ELLIE and TANNIS take center stage in this game for no discernible reason other than the fact the developers could not develop the original crew further or make fun, new personalities. DID YOU KNOW THAT ELLIE IS FAT, SOUTHERN AND IS SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO EVERYONE? No? Well here is a **** innuendo tied to her every breath. Did you know Ava is annoying brat that no one in the world could ever care about due to her Unlikable personality and COMPLETE lack of depth? No? Well here she is in every cut scene ever made. Even Lilith was reduced to a bland quest vendor. The incredible writing for the Tales from the Borderlands characters left everyone excited for their presence in Bl3. Rhys and Vaughn were reduced to their most basic, and displayed none of the charisma or charm they were born with. But hey, at least Scooter isn't alive to see it.
    The Calypso Twins started to become likeable after Tyrene gifts you a gun for killing yourself, and the twins talk to each other like real people on the ECHO comms. However, by that time, Troy was about to die, and Tyrene would no longer have the chance to develop herself.
    They did well in some regards, including BALEX and his girlfriend. A shame they didn't have a lot of screens time, but with what they had they displayed chemistry and great humour. That skillful writing did not translate anywhere else in the game. General Traunt was also a breath of fresh air, a character that didn't take himself too seriously.
    Gun play
    The BL team did really well with the gun play. The step from BL2 to BL3 is ginormous and is worthy of praise. Certain elements of guns made them a delight to use.
    If I had to critique the gun play, it would be that the guns weight felt the same, whether it be recoil or sway it never went beyond the usual parameters. In order to give the weapons unique personalities, they should have explored more avenues, such as more detailed gun smoke, engravings, sound changes, weight and different variations of reloading. Particle effects needed to turned way down, bout to have a seizure.
    Loot
    Looting in this game was very rewarding. Too rewarding. A legendary item for farting it seems. They are called legendarily for a reason, so why is the game handing them out so freely? Legendarily in this game spawn more frequently than purples in BL2. This takes away the thrill of getting lucky with an orange. By the way you can buy legendarily from vendor machines for 3000 bucks at level 30? Its like they didn't even play their own game.
    Enemies
    Complete. **** Let's give Troy some giant orbs or something idk. Merge Tyrene with a generic OOD from Doctor Who IDGAF. So boring to fight and even more depressing is that the whole game leads up to these so called 'peaks'. Enemies you fight are generic, the psychos are less psychotic and few remember able sentences. And they all talk so damn much you've heard it all by chapter 10.
    Levelling
    I was always 4 levels or so behind the enemies and they were decimated. No challenge, no need to level up and come back, no need to find stronger guns they just melt in your presence. Their guns are too weak and you are too strong. The times I felt a challenge were few and far between. To draw a comparison to BL2, when I was even one level behind I felt the struggle. Which then forced me to either adapt my current play style or do side missions to level up and get better loot. In this game, you run and gun like an unstoppable jugg, which made for a mindless sprint through the battles.
    Cut scenes
    AK THU. Disgusting. Revolting. After deleting all life within a 10-mile radius of the objective, the Twins still manage to get their way. Not the sneaky tactic Handsome Jack used to kill Roland, no they walk up and do their business. And where are you? You turn into a ghost that was wiped from everyones memory. Lilith loses her powers in the most pathetic of ways. Maya dies in the most pathetic way imaginable. Tannis is kidnapped in the most lazy way possible. And you, the player, are powerless to stop them. You don't matter in this story line, until it comes time for the Twins to die. Having no bearing on the game until the end is so mind-numbingly boring and making playing it a complete slog fest.
    Ava
    **** Ava, all the homieshateAva. Annoying ass bish I'm would have preferred her going REEE on the comms, instead of hearing her whine all game. F**k Ava. And her ****ty off-screen arc. Where she turned from a brat to B**CH I really don't know why the devs thought anyone would care about her, ak THU.

    The amount of "details" of characters is really off-putting and out of place for a borderlands game imho.

    Movement and gunplay are worse than BL 1 and BL 2, with some kind of delay and ... its hard to describe: Feels so pointy but not meaty.

    Exploration is less fun, since its more like walking through a shopping-centre and not a big and interesting world.

    Characters are totally forgettable and uninteresting, jokes seemingly never land. Who wrote this?!

    Story is boring as hell. Ask people who finished the game and tell you their most memorable things that happened and you'll see.

However, voice acting is unimproved and arguable worse than ever, when this was always already a weak point of the series.

    Additionally and critically, I agree with other condemnations that the quests (both main and side) are largely repetitive fetch quests.

    The quests could have been loaded with incredible variance the likes of Fallout 3 and 4, where there are fun breaks of finding new long term allies, or exploring completely virtual and out of time-sync worlds. At the bare minimum, they could have explored the now trope of a chapter involving your accidental ingestion of psychotropics (Fallout 3....hospital bed with balloons, anyone?).

    Borderlands 3 has none of this. It's a straight forward shooter from start to finish, with a change of scenery from time to time. I have no doubt that at some point the Powers recognized they had an addictive formula and decided they'd gone as far as necessary. "Great...just make more of the game but exactly with this formula" and called it a day.

    Again, that's great if you want people to be addicted in the way they're addicted to an illicit drug. I.e. technically being addicted in that they feel they must play for dozens of hours, but factually finishing feeling like they'd gone through a woodchipper and wishing something else had pervaded their time.

    If you want a game feeling like a complete fulfilling experience, like an epic movie or novel....or an epic game series like a Fallout or Skyrim....this is not it. If your barometer for a "good" game is how many hours you mentally feel compelled to play, then you've found a gem. If you understand that if playtime is only thing you get from the game but you leave feeling like you were working a job for minimum wage for 5 years because nobody else in the industry was offering any better, you might want to hold off.    … Expand

    The majority of the game is spent listening to a wimpy/incompetent/moronic guy (Rhys, Vaughn, Timothy, Titus, Claptrap, Troy), while praising the strength and skills of the female counterparts (Lilith, Maya, Juno, Rose, Lorelei, Tyreen).

    This trope will be repeated 'ad nauseam' throughout the story and DLCs. This kills any replayability; going through the story once is more than enough.

    That’s a shame because the gunplay, level design and soundtrack are pretty good.

    Borderlands 3 has by far the best gunplay in the whole series, which is the only thing that stops it from being scored a zero in my mind. That being said I felt no challenge while playing this game on the hardest difficulty available.

HoweverBorderlands 3 has by far the best gunplay in the whole series, which is the only thing that stops it from being scored a zero in my mind. That being said I felt no challenge while playing this game on the hardest difficulty available. That isn't a brag either, I'm notoriously **** at videogames, and I have yet to feel as though the game has really presented me with a challenge. However since I snagged the game for free I feel obligated to complete the main campaign. This task is proving to be rather daunting as the painfully unfunny humor from 2 and the pre-sequel is back in full force. I concede there are characters that I do enjoy but they have fallen by the wayside and are only there for a short while to make room for shrill ear splitting voices and childish humor. At times where I catch a moment of calm, almost serious character moments such as a side quest where a woman takes the time to somberly recollect on the fact that her brother killed all their other siblings and would have done the same to her almost made me feel invested in the world. Only for moments later for a different side mission where a man is stuck in an outhouse and everything is screaming in my ear again. What's worse yet is the characters, in Borderlands they have always been weak but it feels the more times they bring them back the more times they feel less like people and more like walking dick joke dispensers. Tanis in the first one was a somber scientist that had to contend with the fact that she was the last survivor of her research crew. In Borderlands 2 & 3 she is a generic mad scientist trope. Vaughn and Rhys feel like the charm from Tales has been completely sucked out of them. Ellie, Claptrap and Tina are as annoying as ever and I long for death every time I hear their voices. Finally there is the games biggest problem character and I would say missed opportunity. Ava. I looked into the extended content and I was shocked to find two actually well written scenes with her. the Sharing of Maya's death and the funeral, scenes that were cut from the game. Scenes that would have made her go through growth and introspection. I encourage you to see them for yourselves because it is mind boggling how they could think it a good idea to cut such pivotal scenes for a characters development.

    I can only assume it was so the cost of finishing those scenes didn't cut into Randy bottom line of cash he could pocket and shaft his employees bonuses on. Allegedly.    … Expand

    Looks great, BUT NOT FOR RUSSIANS. After all, it is obvious to everyone that if you take away the ability to buy games from us, WILL THE WAR END? YES?
    Games should be out of politics, they are designed to relax and distract, which in our situation will be extremely useful. The only thing you will cause by canceling sales is self-hatred!

    Thats the end of the good part.

    Now the bad part:
    The villains: They are so bad and cringe i cant even find the right words for them. I mean sure it is hard to make another good villain after Handsome Jack but come on they went from "One of the best" to "The worst" with one step.
    The loot: Loot is worth nothing in this game. I had been flushed with epics and legendaries on my first normal run of this game. At the end i had like 50 legendaries in my stash and my gear was orange-purple.
    They **** up looting in a loot shooter.
    The sound design: I played as Moze, and idk what they where thinking but the sound design is so annoying and bad. If you sprint for aroun 10 seconts she starts panting permanently and loudly and no, you can't turn that off. Why even add that panting ? This game has no stamina system so its complete useless and just annoys the player for no reason.
    The **** I mean Borderlands had strong female caracters from the first game on, but let the story 90% of the time get's carried by women just seems overdone.
    There are exactly 3 male persons that are important for the story, and 2 of them are robots, it's just awnkard how hard they tried.
    The story: It's not exactly bad, its just boring and you can predict most of the stuff happening. Also having one of the main (female) persons have a heroic sacrifice to safe the entire universe with a never seen or used power is just.... bad storytelling
    The fanservice: Well most not-female persons from the previous games just have briefly apperances. Even in the final battle they are just not there and completely unimportant. Just sad to dump so many good caracters    … Expand

    Gearbox has a problem: the fantastic Borderlands 2 is too good to be beaten. But in the case of Borderlands 3, it is still more than a worthy successor. The filmmakers brought many pop-cultural references, maybe pushing too hard on how they want to be “modern”, but otherwise it's a great game again. [Issue#298]

    Borderlands 3 offers a generous experience, with colourful characters, neat gameplay and a charming universe. Its formula, very close to that of the previous episodes does not revolutionize the show but its small new features bring a little freshness and the scenario makes us want to go to the end of the adventure. Its dynamism and nervousness make it a choice piece for adrenaline-ready FPS lovers and license fans.

    The fun, humorous storyline, some great dialogue and theatrical accents of the diverse characters, beautifully varied locations and the same great gunplay that Borderlands is renowned for, means that Borderlands 3 becomes another must have title in the series.
