    Além de mal otimizado, o jogo não tem inspiração nenhuma. Com 2h de jogo, eu não tinha "gás" pra continuar jogando. A historia não agrada tanto; Os gráficos são bonitos mas não condizem com o hardware exigido; A gameplay é agradável, porém o TTK é lento demais; O mundo é incrivelmente morto e os cachorros correndo atras de ti irritam DEMAIS; os personagens - de fato - são carismáticos, eAlém de mal otimizado, o jogo não tem inspiração nenhuma.

    Eh, 10hours in and while it is neat it doesnt have the same humor or edge as the old borderlands. Falls flat in a lot of cut scenes and the Cyclopse twins dont have the same quality as Handsome Jack had. It's okay but falls short of its predecessors.

    Stutterlands 3. Cannot write full review because game is unplayable. Input lags and stutters occurs in every shooting scene. Also claptrap is still annoying as hell.

    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. 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. 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

    He jugado unos 10 minutos hasta llegar al primer boss. Lo tumbé simplemente dando vueltas a una columna desgastándolo poco a poco. Eso en la dificultad normal. Hay una más fácil, pero no hay modo difícil. Luego de eso desinstalé el juego y pedí la devolución.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly this game was not a bad shooter but it could be better without horrible optimisation, the game has a lot of fps stutters and the biggest problem of all is the price not the game itself but season pass seriously 50 euros? Some people don't have a lot of money if it could be like 20-30 euros that can be okay but honestly 50? That's too much. the game isn't even that long as borderlands 2 and oh my god don't get me even started on cosmetic packs i. hate. micro transactions. There are also promotes to political agendas which annoys me a lot most irritating one is when you will complete claptrap's friend, which disgustingly rejects him. That was meant to be a joke which was not funny at all.sorry gearbox but I am pretty disappointed in this game… Expand

    The 2 DLCs out there so far are extremely short, nothing compared to Borderlands 2.

    It's really horrible. The performance at launch left the game unplayable even on good hardware, and this has barely improved. The DLC released since has been an absolute joke, leaving the $100 edition of the game as completely worthless. I will never buy another Gearbox game.

    Crahes during playing, sometimes just after loading. Depressing.
    And dozen of less major trash like taking a loooong time to start, sometimes counter-intuitive UI (why I can't equip new shield with double click or have to dig in vague controller settings to disable mouse steering?) etc

    La historia es mala, no le veo mucho sentido en algunos casos, los villanos son deplorables (son 2) una de ellos es ellos es muy pesada y me cae pesada mientras que el otro le falta un poco de desarollo pero hasta ahi
    SOY INCAPAZ DE ENTENDER COMO ES POSIBLE DE QUE HALLA GUIAS PARA CONSEGUIR LEGENDARIAS, NI LAS VI LAS GUIAS PERO ES UNA BURLA LAS LEGENDARIAS, MATANDO CUALQUIER COSA GANAS UNA LEGENDARIAS, EN EL MODO EXPERTO ES MAS RIDICULO TODAVIA LO PEOR DE TODO ES QUE SE CONSEGUIEN COMO PAN CALIENTE HASTA EN LAS CAJAS Y LOS BAÑOS, HASTA DONDE AGARRAS LA MUNICION!!!! La plata es ridicula, para mi la utilizacion del eridio no sirve
    TODAVIA NO PUEDO CREER QUE ME GANE LA HISTORIA CON 1 DLC HACIENDO 19 MISIONES SECUNDARIAS EN TOTAL Y ERA NIVEL 40 Y PICO SIN SABER QUE EL MAXIMO ES 60 ES MUY POCO, PENSABA QUE COMO MINIMO 85 PARA LA DIFICULTAD QUE TIENE, NO 60
    Los planetas solo rescato Pandora, EL RESTO SON UNA PORQUERIA, NO PUEDE SER QUE UN PLANETA EN GUERRA SOLO TENGA UNA SOLA AREA DISPONIBLE!!!!
    Para mi este juego le falto 1 o 2 años de desarrollo para pulir este tipo de cosas
    hay cosas buenas como la jugabilidad, los personajes, las habilidades y el modo caos (que se consegui al ganar el juego, es pobre pero esta bien)
    otra cosa a agregar es que el multijugador me anduvo muy mal pero no se porque mi internet es malisimo

    2/10 So woke, it's embarrassing.

    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).

    It even gets weirder with lines like 'Shoot him the D', ’Kick him in the D.' repeated multiple times for one of the quests.

    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.
    But even then, the game is buggy. The game crashed, the interface was sometimes unresponsive, and two quests got stuck, even though the community had flagged the bugs months prior.    … 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.
