    It pretty much followed the standard Borderlands formula. If you liked the old ones, you will probably like this one.

    There were a few changes to the way skills work and to the UI, most for the better. I like the addition of player rooms but they don't feel customizable enough. The mini-map still kind of sucks as per tradition but the full-size map was improved some. The playable classes are decent. Plenty of guns and variations, as usual. Visuals were pretty great.

    I had maybe 2 crashes in 40+ hours of playing so I can't speak to the issues others are complaining about. Running an i5-9600k, 16gb RAM, and RTX 2070 8gb with DX12. My frame rate and temps were pretty normal. Nothing unusual there for me.

    The boss battles seemed like they were improved. It was good to see some new enemies introduced. The story was alright but I wasn't really invested to be honest. The humor didn't seem to grab me like the first two games but it's possibly just because I'm older now and I'm not as involved in "Internet culture." Kind of cringe at times. Borderlands has always been a bit over the top though so I suppose it fits.

    I did notice a few glitches with the inventory and enemies at times. Not too surprising and I imagine they get cleaned up soon. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the series. After they push out all the DLC, I'd really like to see them move on to a new IP or expand in other ways. I feel like it's on the verge of getting stale.    … Expand

    Even playing co-op, this game felt like a slog, with the story, characters and world being too over the top for its own good. Some may consider this a breath of fresh air in the dreary bleakness of the more "serious" games, but I found it rather annoying.

    maybe a little bit too rough in storyline. Although game makers want the player to have pure fun, I sometimes found the killing and garbage collecting tiring enough.

    While technically the game seems at the same level as BL 2, the incredible lack of difficulty and lack of difficulty options make this game a snoozer if played with friends, i was unironically about to fall asleep sometimes for how much the low difficulty trivialized the experience. Id rate this lower but i have not finished it.

    Played Borderlands 3 with 2 friends and it was a decent experience.
    Encountered very few bugs while playing.
    Unskippable cutscenes were horribile.
    Gameplay was good, not great.
    The story could have been better.
    The audio was great.
    Maybe a bit boring compared to the previous one.

    Borderlands 3. What a time to be alive.

    I really enjoyed the first Borderlands game. I thought it was a great mix of looting, humour, grinding, and cartoony looks. It wasn't perfect; the AI sucked, the looting was hit-and-miss, and the endgame was like a bad Crysis fanfic. Then came Borderlands 2.

It was mostly the same, the characters had somewhat been Flanderized, Claptrap wasn't quite as funny, but it was a snappier, faster experience. The new guns were cool, slag was clever, but the leveling curve had some issues. Badass enemies weren't usually the "fun" type of challenge.

    The Pre-sequel? What's a pre-sequel?

    Seriously though, B3 is an improvement over the Pre-sequel, but I'm not sure it's that much of an improvement over B2. It looks better than previous games, but I don't think the visuals have really scaled up that well. Gameplay hasn't changed, AI still sucks, looting feels even worse this time. There's so much loot, every battle there are dozens of guns lying around. There's no point in picking up a white or green weapon, ever, because there are always at least 2 blue ones from any fight. I dunno, I'm not sure what the point is anymore. The download is about 100 gb, B2 was less than 8 gb, what am I spending my bandwidth on? The game's not 12.5x bigger and better, I just don't know what all the bloat is for. Isn't Elden Ring around 50 gb?

    I do prefer the leveling curve compared to B2, so at least there's that, and enemies are way less spongy than in B2. The voice acting is still good, but the characters aren't quite as memorable. Presumably after the "failure" of Pre-sequel, management decided to bring back more of the original cast to pander to the fans, but I think it's a detriment to the story. The game tries to shoe in so many people that we don't really have time to stop and engage with them. As soon as a chapter's done, their 5 minutes of fame are over, and we get some new faces for the next chapter. Unless they're from the previous games, like Lilith, Hammerlock, and Tannis, those guys are around for the whole game. But I don't have to build relationships with them, those already exist. So I don't get a chance to build anything new and meaningful; it's either nostalgia or relationships too shallow to be interesting.

    The game's also pretty buggy. I've had my mouse stop moving the camera and instead just act as a pointer on-screen during the game. The map is pretty buggy, sometimes I can't zoom or scroll or pan, and when I try to pan I end up fast-travelling by accident. I guess these are mouse-specific bugs, maybe it's not an issue with a controller. Alt-tabbing makes the game crash way more often than it should, and sometimes it even causes the game to switch screens in my multi-screen setup. Some bullets would occasionally be invisible. The game also crashes every now and then, citing memory location errors. Receiving a Teams call also closes the game outright, just don't tell my boss.

    Anywho, if you can't get enough of Borderlands, then you should get Borderlands 3. If you feel like you want something new from Borderlands, don't get Borderlands 3. If you want to get into Borderlands, save your bandwidth and cash and get B2.    … Expand

    Free drop on Epic games. So how does it compared to the PS4 version? Well it isn't a laggy piece of trash. Solo on B3 on normal is easier than B1 and way more so B2 (as for the pre-sequel dnf).

    Elemental damage can be so much BS which drains the health all the way to zero (which sucks when no enemy about to leech a second wind off). Activating Iron Bear with Moze just before negates the elemental BS attacks (and anything near death), I found Moze a good character for a solo run. Anything that vampires health is also very useful in solo runs. Only in co-op can a player be usually revived by another player. I think the robot character pet can do it though?

    This game is all about loot and chasing the next gun, nade, shield, boost, etc. Sometimes it can be annoying swaping out a fave fun gun due to levelling up making it to weak against higher levels.

    Borderlands series used to be intentional parody and satire. This time Borderlands 3 writing is looks like it was written by bunch of angry feminists and guys who have issues with the girlfriends boyfriends? So yeah it’s loads of fun to laugh at (not with).

Some features are annoying such as accessing the unlocks with the messaging system etc. This could have been made more simplified impo.
    However my main gripe has to be the cringiness of the characters and boring story, therefore this lowers the score a bit for me personally.
    However, as a pure looter shooter BDL3 is one of the best, and truth be told, i even think it exceeds the previous games.
    The fact that they cut some parts out of the story and sold it separately (not referring to season pass) also doesn't help. I personally hate this cash grabbing scheme a whole lot!
    So in all fairness i would rate this game between 7.5 and 8 but not above because it's overall lacking in several ways. However i can only speak for the PC version on Epic, so it might be a bit better on other programs and whatnot.
    But for me, it's certainly not going to be as memorable as with the previous titles so yeah it is what it is. The game is great, yet not as epic as could be for me.    … Expand

    I wanted to like this game but I just couldn't get into it. i've played other borderlands games before and had a great time spraying bullets mindlessly. This game looks great and plays well but the story and progression felt bad to me. If you want the 'Borderlands' loot' n shoot then this is a definite upgrade from older games.

If you want a good continuation from the previous games then I think this may disappoint. I'd definitely recommend this game if on sale.

    POSITIVES:
    - Graphics look great. It's the same art style but look a lot cleaner and leaner
    - Guns feel good to shoot. Bullets aren't slow and actually feel like they make an impact
    - Ton of custom gun options. Each gun can have different modifiers and will have you grinding loot to find your perfect gun
    - Still plenty of potty humor

    NEGATIVES:
    - Progression feels a little too quick and it feels like you outgrow guns very quickly. This leads to constantly switching to higher level weapons in order to deal decent damage (hard to get attached). Also the amount of rare/legendary weapons that you acquire take out the feeling of accomplishment.
    - Character that you can pick from are rather generic in terms of personality. They also all felt kind of out of date with their references (a little cringe)
    - The main villains weren't very compelling and got old quick. They kind of felt like a boomer's perspective on zoomers.
    - There were definitely points in the story that could have been completely avoided but somehow managed happen. Really killed the vibe of the game to me.    … Expand

Even The Pre-Sequel made me happy. I finally got around to the third one, and I was... disappointed. Let's begin. So, what caught my eye right away was the graphics, which just didn't move much. Sure, it doesn't have much to do, but I also thought it was worse than the second one. But what struck me even more was the PC optimization, which was just absolutely awful. When playing the game I was using the graphics card 100% and all the time. At the beginning I played the game on maximum details, but after a while I dropped it to the lowest so I wouldn't have such a heavy load on the GPU. The game even looked better on low details than high in my opinion. The way the textures weren't so smoothed out and everything was suddenly so sharp it got more of that Borderlands feel, at least in my opinion. Personally, I recommend you try putting the game on lower details. This is purely my opinion, but for me it just looked more Borderlands that way. As for the story, it's not bad here, but on the one hand, it's not great either. The main female baddie is pretty cool, but the final fight with her just doesn't have the same feel as the ones from previous installments. On top of that, the ending was a bit too long for me. The developers added a new environment, but I still don't like the final one. I'm talking about the locations in the city. The ones in the countryside although not reaching the quality of the ones from the previous games were fine, but the city passages I didn't like much, because when I say Borderlands, I think of the desert or the winter locations from the second game. I understand that the developers wanted to give us something new, but personally I feel negative about this change and I just don't want the city in Borderlands. But now I want to get to those other locations, like the legendary Pandora, which just isn't the real Pandora here. I don't know. Maybe it's the fact that there isn't that delicious music playing in the background like in one, or maybe it's the fact that the game just has a little bit of a different graphical style from one and two, but it just doesn't feel right here. Just loading it up I was wondering what it was supposed to be. It doesn't look bad, but I liked it better before. Anyway, on to the inventory. I'm sorry, but for me, it's disgusting. I really couldn't get used to the inventory for the whole game, and although I started to get the hang of it after a while, I longed for the old one from 2. In my eyes, the inventory here was cluttered and quite ugly to boot. As I said the whole game looks a bit ugly to me and I'm not a fan of the way health bars, inventory, dropped items and the like look. Not to criticize the game, I can praise the fact that when you open an object and money flies out of it, your character takes it immediately and you don't have to deal with anything. Maybe it's not as satisfying as when you used to press the button to grab item, but every now and then it's a cool novelty, for example if you're in a hurry and want to loot something quickly in the middle of a fight, it's a bit easier here than it was before. Borderlands is of course all about loot and you can loot weapons here which are also awesome, on the one hand again I'm not that much of a fan. I'll explain. There are new guns that resemble proper Assault Rifles and they look gorgeous, yes, but they're more into Battlefield or Call of Duty and not quite into Borderlands. So I commend the developers for that, they added some of those new guns that on one hand spoil that Borderlands vibe a bit. To sum it all up. For me, this is an unnecessary sequel that further unnecessarily spoils the name of the series. It's not a bad game, I'm not saying that, but it's just far from the quality of the previous ones. I'd rather there had never been a third installment. I understand the developers and it's a fact that they were given a pretty tough task and to surpass the second part was kind of impossible, but unfortunately Borderlands 3 is not only not equal to Borderlands 2, but to any part of the series and is far below them in quality. Worse visuals with worse locations compounded by horrible optimization and just no, not this... As someone who turned on Borderlands 1 back then saying I'll give it a try when everyone is talking so much about what a blast it is and then was so absolutely enthralled with the game that he had to go straight to the second game and then the Pre-Sequel and was so hyped for the third installment, I ended up walking away disappointed. I'm sorry, but for me this is a mediocre sequel that I can't recommend.… Expand

    + There were some pretty girls in the game. In cut scenes, I had a fun time finding the best camera angles to ogle the boobs and butts. To be 13 again...

    Cons:
    - The main villains are weak and uninteresting characters with a boring story line and motivations. Granted, this is not a game about the story, but Borderlands 2 showed you could have a much more interesting villain than this. These are just comically evil characters that do bad things because they need one-dimensional villains to move the plot forward. I could not skip through the CoV cut scenes fast enough.
    - I feel like I've grown out of the edgy humor and teenage angst portrayed in the narrative. It's more a con of me getting older.
    - I found the game very easy. I rarely died, and didn't feel like there was much skill or challenge in the fights. Point at the thing you want to die and hold the trigger; move forward and repeat. I barely used special powers or grenades because there wasn't much point.
    - Obnoxious DLC sales push. OMG, they are trying way to hard to sell you DLC in game with constant in-your-face reminders.
    - On PC, I had a few crashes. At one point I had to google how to restore a corrupted save game after one of the crashes.

    Buying advice: If you're a fan looking for more Borderlands, this is fine. If you're new to the series, start with Borderlands 2, and come back to this if you want more. I'd pay $20 for the base game, but I'm not really interested in playing the DLC.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought this game both on Steam & Stadia, they both run very good and I am actually surprised how extremely good it runs and looks on Stadia. I bought BL3 after finally getting tired of BL1, 2 & TPS.

    I love BL3 but not as much as BL2, the gunplay is alot better in BL3 in my opinion, story is decent, playable characters are fun but there is one big issue I have with BL3 and that is how easy it is right off the bat (playing on Normal), i've done multiple playthroughs now and every single time I get overpowered legendaries at around lvl 3-5 that I can bring down bosses up to lvl 15 with in about 5-8 seconds, the spread on loot needs to be tuned down, less legendaries and more purples would be alot better.

    Reason for this is because every time I do a new game, I don't have to upgrade my gear every level, I can use lvl 3-4 legendaries up until about lvl 15 before I need to change, the whole game is about getting better loot, the sellpoint of BL has always been, "A billion guns", "A gazillion guns" etc, you know what I'm talking about and this is completely pointless in BL3, loot barely matters. Sure there is anointment weapons which is basiically the new "legendary" but this system completely removes the need for green and blue items during the whole first playthrough on Normal, it takes away the fun that Borderlands has always been about and it does that right from the start.

    Would I recommend this game? Hell yes, it's a blast to play but for old BL players you may be disappointed and positively surprised at the same time.    … Expand

    Yeah, like was it said for a million times already, the game is summed up really simply: good gameplay, bad narrative. If you've never listened to a single line of quest dialog in the Borderlands series and just followed the marker, you'll be right at home. Otherwise, the lack of coherency and thought put into the plot and writing will be irritating - offensively so at times.

If you've never listened to a single line of quest dialog in the Borderlands series and just followed the marker, you'll be right at home. Otherwise, the lack of coherency and thought put into the plot and writing will be irritating - offensively so at times.

    The "good gameplay" is really good. In terms of pure mechanics, this is a superb Borderlands installment. There's some bs with the metagame (inconsistent drops, weak manufacturers), but shooting has never been so fun and responsive in the series. Also, Borderlands finally got actual boss fights, and most of them are really well done, imo.

    The "bad narrative" is really bad. And it's not just about the plot or the characters, I mostly don't even mind them, - everything's awful on a fundamental, moment-to-moment, line-to-line level: the writing, an overwhelming majority of the jokes, pacing, sometimes even the voice acting.

    Everything in between is a mixed bag. Graphics are nice to look at and artists try their best, but results range from fantastic to really bland or even visually irritating sometimes. Soundtrack jumps from memorable and thrilling, complex and fitting pieces to a "meh" audio filler, sound effects are no different.

    Overall, if to approach a score as a dry calculation of good parts vs bad parts, I feel that there was noticeably more good ones, but they're disjointed, unfocused and mixed with some of the worst filth this series has to offer (looking at you, Ava). Better then average experience, but the line it walks not to fall into a complete blunder is so thin, that I cannot force myself to complete DLCs I paid for, so they cannot disappoint me further.

The plot is not a bad one, and the characters aren't written poorly, in fact some characters have their best appearances here. The most essential part of the game is lacking - the villains.

    The Villains of borderlands 3 are very much in the same vain as Handsome Jack, loud, annoying, braggadocious and not full of much depth. Their plot isn't bad, and their concept isn't awful but they feel rather hamfisted. The main character I played also suffered from this to some extent, where she was speaking in old internet lingo that felt really dated. However, despite all this the game was very enjoyable.

    One of my biggest complaints with Borderlands games is the driving is done very poorly, and in this game its not improved upon at all, yet despite all of this some of my favorite missions were driving missions. The vehicle part acquisitions is tedious but a great addition, and it a great expansion on the cosmetics in borderlands. On top of vehicle cosmetic adjustments the game also brings player colors/themes and helmets back, these are much better than the previous entries and are thematic. Gun trinkets and paints were added, while I was not able to collect too many they were nice when I found them.

    The graphics are exactly what one would want, and on top of that the game runs impressively well. My machine is rather out of date now a days but I managed to run this almost maxed out at 1080p with 60fps no problem. The games environments look fantastic and not a bad resolution low poly object in sight. When you first load in, the game might tank and look bad but its just loading things in and it does fix itself rather quickly.

    The writing while I complained at the start of my review is actually really enjoyable. There are some things which could be perceived as plot errors but they're not so glaring that they ruin the story. Where the writing really shines is the individual characters and how they all fit so excellently. WIthout spoiling, many celebrities voice characters in the game, and while at first it is strange hearing their voices they nail their characters and their characters are witty and enjoyable. We also see a great cast of returning characters, some even from Tales From The Borderlands which is phenomenal. i was very worried they'd leave those threads untied. The recasting of Claptrap annoyed me deeply at first but eventually I just forgot what he use to sound like and quite honestly, he's all still there. He's done very well, perhaps his most compelling appearance.

    Gun play is as enjoyable one can expect from a borderlands title, however new additions have been made to gun manufacturers and "class mods" that really add variety. Each gun company has a special benefit to using their weapons, without naming them all jakobs for example when you crit something the bullet will bounce to another target as well which comes in handy when you're bursting down large groups of things. Much of the game I was doing content I was not at level for, which is likely my own fault so most guns I could not use until later. The vaults in my experience yield no good guns, and my best guns came from quest rewards or killing bosses.

    Speaking of bosses, the bosses are excellently done. Just enough mechanics to be challenging and not so much health they feel like bullet sponges. Every single boss was unique and entertaining, however I did not feel as if you had to adjust your gun types to help you. I only did this for one boss that I was clearly undergeared for. Most bosses I died on one or two times, except funnily enough the final one which I did in my first try. Many of the bosses are large and imposing, you have to maneuver around the stage to get better shots on them and you never really can stand still or hide behind cover for too long. This makes the fights feel more engaging and less like I'm just pouring bullets into something. Some of the bosses are forgettable, so much so that I actually had to look up a list again to check which bosses there were, but others are so excellent they should be case examples of how FPS should implement boss fights.

    The game ends well enough, its not a great surprise to me, and it does leave itself space to have another game, while still feeling satisfying. I have not played the DLC, and I played completely solo, I'm sure others experiences may differ but I am looking forward to playing the DLC and future games.

    A quality title that is easily worth the money, especially if you can enjoy it with friends.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's more of the same which isn't a bad thing. There really isn't anything new or revolutionary over previous games. It could have been DLC and accomplished the same thing. Again, not necessarily a bad thing.

    The issues that bring this game down over its predecessors is the story and the bugs. On the story side this game was just dull and went on entirely too long. Spoiler - by mid game every major mission ended with you doing a lot of shooting to get something and then the bad guys magically appear out of nowhere, take it all away and wipe out everybody on your team. It doesn't matter that they couldn't handle whatever the challenge was themselves, they always immediately disable you and there is nothing you can do about it. Rinse and repeat over the back half of the game and it just becomes incredibly dull. Towards the end of the game the villains are even considered invincible and have powers that, if they were real, would completely wipe you out with no chance of winning. And yet you still have the traditional boss fight at the end where suddenly you are able to defeat them even though you couldn't the entire game before. This just reeks of a slapped on story.

    The other big issue is with the premise that you have a ship and can go to other planets. Yet every planet looks exactly like the others and they all look like the places from B2. One would have assumed that they would have used the "planets" as a way to show different biomes like perhaps an ice world or something from the pre-quel but they didn't. It is just the same biome over and over again. Really a letdown given this was hyped up before the games release.

    On the bugs side the loading times on a fast machine is awful. I can boot Windows in 10 seconds and this game takes over a minute to start even on an nvime drive with more CPU power than the game needs. And then as soon as the load screen appears it freezes for another 10 seconds or so. And if you do an update and it has to refresh the shaders then you might as well go to lunch.

    Once in the game the perf is generally OK but bugs are still plenty. I played co-op and my partner lost the ability to hear cutscenes after a while, the name indicators over each other's heads stopped working and there were stutters throughout. At the end of the game after a particular cutscene the next cutscene started playing (so many of them) and the subtitles from a cutscene a while back was stuck on the screen. My co-op partner didn't even see the subtitles. The subtitles stuck around every cutscene after that until we stopped playing.

    As far as loot it was seriously screwed up compared to previous games. The best loot we got was from normal kills. Every time the game hyped up a vault or a cool boss we got white or green weapons. It was rare to get blues or better. It was particularly funny when towards the end of the game one of the NPCs gave us his "personal" weapon to help in the upcoming boss fight and it was a white for both of us. Overall the loot just seemed weak compared to previous games. I stuck with my lower level legendary weapons from mid game all the way until end because they simply were better than everything else.

    Overall this is more of the same. It doesn't in any way move the series folder and could have just been a DLC and been just as good. The story and loot were bad compared to other games and it just went on way longer than it needed to with no real benefit.    … Expand

The planets feel empty, soulless, devoid of any wow-factor. Any enemies you run into only exist as the subjects of quests dragging you to and fro. I thought that, maybe, if I tried it on PC (as it's free to try on Steam for the next 5 days), I might like it better than I did on PS4. Nope.

Fart jokes, lowbrow humor that can't even hit the mark as ironic, and worst of all: the most annoying, uninteresting, cookie cutter, unsympathetically pathetic villains, the Calypso Twins. These two, unlike Jack who couldn't really be matched anyway, have no believable motivation, eye-catching backstory, or meaningful effect on the player.

There is also a slight graphical edge over the other entries, mostly in it's color scheme, it's not much of an upgrade at all however, and that's where the pros end.This game was abysmally average, hardly any improvement from the second game that was made SEVEN years ago. The writing is very poor in comparison to 2, The Pre Sequel, and Tales From the Borderland, which is to be expected as the head writer of those games was not present here. The humor is painful to have to sit through and contains no charm from the last entries. The character arcs from past games go nowhere, and a lot of them don't even show up for this one. Hopefully you didn't like the playable characters in borderlands 2, as only 2 of them actually show up, just for one to die in a meaningless way. The plot has a bad habit of introducing new, *very* annoying characters who you have no connection with, and then getting rid of ones you did. The characters who die also go out in very anti climactic ways and in the end is just disappointing for their story arc. If you are a fan of the gameplay of the other games you will have fun, but don't expect anything different or innovative. In the end this becomes a painfully average rpg which outstays it's welcome, which is something the borderlands series shouldn't be known for. I hope they can make something better for their next project.… Expand

    OK, full disclosure: I've never played a Borderlands game before. I bought this because I just bought a new PC with an RTX 2080 Super and a Ryzen 3700, and I thought this would be a good game to test it out on.

Just so you have some kind of idea of where I'm coming from, I loved Fallout 4, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and Skyrim. From reading the reviews, this game seemed like it was similar to Fallout, so I was quite enthusiastic about it heading in.

    About 3 hours in, my thoughts are that this is pretty meh. On the plus side, the mechanics are solid, it has a great sense of humor, and the graphics are beautiful. But the story line seems to have been thrown is an afterthought. After several hours of playing, all I've gathered is that you're a "vault hunter" trying to collect loot. it's like Fallout if it were told from the perspective of one of the nameless NPC Raiders. The games that I mentioned above had me hooked from the opening scene. This game is a few hours in, and I still don't give a crap about my character or anyone that he's interacted with.

    In conclusion, I did not care for this game at all. I probably won't bother playing it ever again. But I play games mostly for the immersion and story line. I know that many gamers place much greater emphasis on things like combat mechanics and variety of loot. If that's you, you'll probably love this game. With all that in mind, I give this 5 stars.    … Expand

Weak story, poorly written characters, pathetic deaths and especially the villains. They **** up real bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this game plays like a charm, even though it does take a lot more to run than its predecessors. The guns are more toned down instead of dealing 1,000,000 damage in a single shot, which makes the game handle a decent bit better, and the characters are somewhat original and charming in their own ways.

    But then we get to the big problem. compared to BL1 and BL2, the story is TRASH. After each planet you go to, you have to listen to Lillith talk for 3 hours straight, and the writing is horrid. There are so many avoidable deaths, such as Maya. Like if that trash rat, Ava, wasn't a deaf and clingy trashbag, she wouldn't have been in the vault to just get in the way.

    AND THE VILLAINS! Compared to Handsome Jack in Borderlands 2, the Calypso twins are just the most garbage villains in the history of gaming. They have extremely dry humor and they are sooooo annoying.

    In the end, Borderlands 3 is a game that plays very well, it just has a horrible and repetitive story that just makes the game impossible to enjoy.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I truly have mixed feelings about this. For me BL2 was one of my favorite games of all time. I became invested in the characters, lore, everything.

    First the good. This game is in fact a superior game to BL2, the gunplay is more fluid, enemies actually rag doll, the addition of sliding and ledge climbing was great and made you feel more mobile. It has a number of quality of life changes too, like in general making money useful instead of useless, letting you teleport from anywhere and giving you tons more space in your pack and bank to store things. I loved all of that. The artistic direction and music is once again unrivaled. The Voice Acting for a majority of the cast was fantastic.

    So why did I give it a 5? Honestly I was tempted to go even lower but stopped myself for want of being fair. Not only to the game but the people who put in so much time, passion and effort into whats here. The majority of developers did an incredible job and deserve so much recognition. They deserve their bonuses which Gearbox illegally decided to withhold from them.

    A product is a sum of its parts, its only as strong as its weakest link. And the weakest link here is its story. The story was the most infuriating, insulting, insufferable, BORING, story for a game I think I've ever played. I seriously think I liked Turok 2008's story more.

    Favorite characters including mine(Axton) from BL2 are no where to be found and not even mentioned. They don't do a good job explaining any event post BL2 for people like myself who have no interest in the "tales" series, so I was immediately confused and horrified to casually hear that Scooter died in the time gap. I was even more horrified when they killed of Maya for a cheap "well it worked with Roland" moment that was neither earned nor made sense. All the humor is something that a 12 year old boy might find funny which was in BL2 but here literally EVERYONE is more annoying than Claptrap, a character designed to be annoying. There are no straight men to even play off of as the rest of the fan favorites are maybe in 30 minutes of this 40 hour game.

    The main villains? Listen I never expected them to top Jack. And to be honest, I liked the twins as a concept, I really did. Serine antagonists felt like a proper threat, but again the being more annoying than Claptrap while also being Merry/Gary Sues/Stues just ruin them. The entire meta commentary on "streamers" fell completely flat on their face while insulting us, gamers, as mindless cult members who blindly listen to what ever their favorite streamer says. My interest in this franchise is completely dead. Best parts of this game were its DLC packs which I can't even include in this review or else it might go up to a 6 or 7. The rest is just garbage writing.

    Pick it up on sale if you want to play it for the gameplay and environments. Skip the story.    … Expand

The story isn't fantastic but is good enough for a Borderlands game to keep you interested enough and while I wouldn't say its a riot the jokes still land well for the most part. The DLCs have also been good thus far, improving on characters and story beats from the main game. However, there is just so much damn waiting. The game loads slow, especially on co-op and has a tendency to crash when trying to get back to Sanctuary, which you have to do an absurd amount of times. This has been improving with newer hotfixes but is still really annoying. The gameplay also makes you wait, why the hell does every single boss become invincible at some point during their fight? It feels like game time padding and is not fun. Then there's the story slowing you down too. In the first game there were only a few mandatory dialogue scenes and all quests you could read the description if you wanted to or just skip over it if you didn't care about the story and weren't stuck waiting. Whereas this one nearly every quest makes you wait to listen to someone talk and dont try to jump ahead of them because you'll have to go back and pick something up from them. That's my main issue with this game is the sheer amount of waiting to get to the actual gameplay. Wait to load, wait to listen to dialogue, wait for boss to not be immune. If they went back to letting the gameplay move you along and not halting it so much with long dialogue and drawn out immunity boss fights that would make it much more enjoyable.… Expand

    There are many issues with this game but I still logged 300 hours in it. For what it's worth, most of these issues only occur in the post-mainquest-endgame, so if you wanna just do the mainquest and side quests, this game is pretty bug-free.

    tl;dr- an extremely fun mess. Try to get it on sale with all the DLCs.

And they appear every few minutes in end game levels. Googling about them noticed articles about how they ruin end game and can't agree more. Made me decide to quit Borderlands 3 and forget about buying DLC packs ever.

    I’ve bought this game thanks to a summer sale; being a fan, I would have bought it at full price hadn’t I known in advance of the super SJW attitude of Gearbox.
    First off, I disagree with most of what the negative reviews say about the gameplay. This is the best Borderlands in terms of shooting, thanks to improved weapon mechanics and wild design; I especially love the alternate function of many weapons. I like the fact that you cannot grow too attached to a weapon because it will become obsolete as you level up: change is good and equally good ones will come your way, keeping your experience varied. The main opponents are not as annoying as people would have you believe. On the other hand, it’s essentially the same as what came before. Get to an area, kill all the spawning mooks, then move on. No problem for me, as I love it, simple as it is. I’d give it a solid 9 if not for the rampant misandry.
    But then, at this point I’ve yet to see a female NPC that is a complete clown, like 90% of the male ones. Female NPC badasses I’ve met so far: Lilith, Ellie, Lorelei, Maya, Moxxi, Ava and also the female twin. Male badasses: Zer0. Notice something?
    And then comes a mission in which you have to kill one of Moxxi’s exes, Killavolt. His sin? Apparently, he disappointed her. It’s a stream of comments on how he's obnoxious and was no good in bed, minimally endowed, egotistical, overcompensating. You are also required to shoot him in his male parts, just to add offense to injury. Finally, after he is dead, you must hang a trophy of him to the toilet. Try to imagine what would happen if the genders were swapped and you were required to kill a woman who disappointed a man, with constants comments on how she was sexually inept and a total loser. The game would be trashed by all critics, there would be boycotts and worse.
    Well, if you don’t mind that and you like Borderlands humor and shooting, this game is great. Me, I can’t overlook Gearbox’s hatred of men, so it’s a middling score for me.    … Expand

    Story: the biggest disappointment of this game is the story, its terrible we all heard about how awful it is, i feel bad for who had to write this following up borderlands 2 witch had one of the greatest villains of not just the borderlands franchise or hell even video games but of all time handsome jack that would have been hard, tyreen and troy are well boring and stupid , i liked that the villain was a siren 2 sorta , the fact that troy was a siren as well only because they were twins made sense to me i liked that little detail, she can steal peoples power . but they don't feel like people they feel like bad guys , jack might have been the bad guy but he was a person first. that's also my main problem with this EVERYONE IS TERRIBLE its like everyone is a charactachur of their former selves 1/6th of the way in i thought they were gonna find some way to throw all this violence in my face tell me im a terrible person PULL A FREAKING SPEC OPS could have made the games story memorable but it just didn't. the most shocking part is that nothing shocked me
    Story 2/10

    World building: the second biggest disappointment was the world building , borderlands 2 was nuanced and the world was packed this is why i loved doing the side quests in BL2 It always had some hidden little detail about its characters or its world behind them, hammerlocke being gay, all the vault hunters moments they decided to go to pandora, roland and liliths relationship , tiny tinas parents I COULD GO ON but i won't ........DIGNITY I ALMOST FORGOT DIGNITY. they butchered the sirens making them a massive plot hole instead of a creative bit of lore , what happened to every other vault hunter but zero and maya ? how many vaults have been on pandora again ? like 4 ?
    Worldbuilding 6/10 i was frustrated but the world isn't flat like other games so ill be lenient

    Graphics: well i mean its stylish , bl2 was a huge improvement from 1 but 3 feels like a couple baby steps forward but forward nonetheless , this game looks good especially with all the different locals on single biome planets , its more like the tech caught up with the style , this game will never look bad BUT i think the lazy map design really hurt this game , a lot of the world is just flat empty ground i think that arena style places would have been best in this type of game especially given the gameplay. i remember not being very impressed by the leaked tech demo 2 years ago but i see now that it was just pandora that looks bad even though it has many different biomes they could have used but the went with its wasteland
    Graphics: 7/10

    Gameplay: THIS is the best part of the game , the new vault hunters slap , they are so much fun kudos to gearbox a mech soldier is exactly what i wanted even though i didn't know i did, guns are a delight to shoot even the basic ones from the start and the further into the game you go the weirder they get , a gun that shoots cheeseburger BAM , a gun thats shoots sawblades with dynamite BAM because of the comic book style these don't feel like stupid gimmicks they feel like natural parts of the world as well tying all of the weapons into the lore among the different behaviours the manufacturers comply too and seeing these different super companys in game is a treat. the new movement mechanics are great sliding and the vaulting made me run around and use more strategy in the early game. my problem how ever is this game doesn't work i encountered countless bugs , glitches , frame rate issues and crashes it was incredibly frustrating even after iv updated my drivers , fiddled with settings and got it working it only works for about 3 hours before my frames DIP hard and loading screens become unbearable , when the game works how ever its exactly how id want bl3 to play and is a great load of fun
    Gameplay (when it works) 8/10

    Sound design: Im running out of letters to use so crash course
    MUSIC: when it plays GOOD
    Voiceacting: some good , some bad , some AWFUL like the villians clearly no one had fun recording their lines unlike in bl2 , thought moxxi had a different va all together
    SOUND EFFECTS: GREAT guns sound great skills sound great , jumps HURSSS and melee all great
    Sound design: 7.2/10

    I really like Borderlands and got over 600hrs between 2 and TPS alone. And I really like this game too. What brings it down from 8 to 5 is:

    * Worst writing in franchise history. Yes, that includes TPS. I remember when everyone thought this one will be great because Anthony Burch is gone, but its honestly *way* worse. This game tries way too hard to be dramatic and crashes terribly. It also misses the ironic touch that made the others such great light entertainment.

    * Story feels like a slap to my face. Fan favorite >!Maya gets killed almost with a wave of the hand!< just to push Ava, a character literally nobody likes. >!And then Lilith kills herself!< in one of the most blatant "mcguffin" scenes I've EVER encountered in my life. She just flew up to the moon(through space..) to use her siren magic to close the moon's vault key magic, because apparently that's how it works, and then somehow also >!died as a result.!< Seriously Gearbox? I know that BL never really made much sense and had lots of "its space magic, ain't gotta explain **** moments, but at least the other games didn't take themselves this seriously. And then Lilith tells Ava that she's the head of the Raiders now. Really? Not Tannis who's standing right there, not Ellie or *any other adult*, but this teenager who's been with the group for a week?? The ****

    * Some other minor writing points: Remember when being a Siren was something special and not just passed around like a volleyball? Vaughn has become the worst and most obnoxious character in all of video games. Many new NPCs are supposed to be "cool", like Lorelei and Clay, but tbh I prefer my BL NPCs weird and crazy. Leave the coolness to the Vault Hunters. Also, I miss the general silliness. Again, this game took itself way too serious.

    * Many characters are just missing from the game. Brick and Tina show up once, Mordecai only shows up in audio and for his character card intro and then is never seen again. Half of BL2's cast is missing completely. Despite the game being big enough for all of them, especially as quest givers like 2 did. The cast itself is heavily underutilized.

    * Buggiest AAA game I've played in ages. Elemental effects not disappearing from the screen, the last enemy in "defend/clean the room" objectives not spawning or spawning outside the map, game randomly switching between press and toggle run controls, etc.

    * Instead of each area having unique area specific challenges like finding and burning all Firehawk symbols, you now get a bunch of generic collectibles across all maps. Those are interesting, like Typhon's logs, but they're not the same as having unique things to look for.

    * Good enemy variety but why do Goliaths only show up in the late second half, and even then are heavily underutilized? The game has variety, but uses it rarely. Most fights are against the same three enemy types.

    * Speaking of enemies: where are they? In 2 you'd fight multiple buzzards as well as multiple enemy cars at the same time. In 3, despite having huge areas, you have to be lucky just to see 2 enemy vehicles driving around. And maybe its another bug, but many areas, despite having barrels and ammo pick ups were completely empty, outside of that 1 sidequest that would lead you there, as opposed to always spawning enemies at least.

    * Despite feeling much bigger than 2, and having some huge maps, BL3 has +30 missions less than BL2. And it really shows. It often feels empty compared to 2 and many areas are underutilized and miss around two or more sidequests. Many main maps in 3 feel like side maps from 2, but it really comes down to how they're used. And its sub par in this one.

    Despite all this, I really enjoyed it. Game/gunplay is obviously top and much more engaging than previously. But it also feels sloppy and like the devs cut corners way too often. Sometimes I wanna applaud them for extra detail, but often enough I'm baffled by stupid design/production decisions. And the ending made me actually angry. With FFVIIR's ending its at least deliberate. Here however, it feels like utter incompetence and cluelessness. I honestly think they need to bring back Anthony Burch. BL's writing is evidently worse without him.    … Expand

Кооператив не пробовал, в нем вроде как тоже есть продвижки - отдельный лут для каждого, автоподстройка уровня противников, режим эндгейма.
    Но локации скучные, в рамках одной планеты они однообразные. Отсутствуют плавные переходы, как было во второй части. Да и Элпис со станцией гипериона запомнились куда ярче.
    Сюжет слит, хотя задел после пресиквела был очень большой. Слиты все персонажи (хотя вроде что-то про дополнения писали), они либо умирают, либо появляются на несколько миссий (привет команда Б в лице Брика и Мордекая, под руководством Тины).
    Слишком мало дополнительных заданий, их структура на уровне DLC - проходятся параллельно с основной миссией в локации-кишке. Те же проблемы, что и в каком-нибудь Докторе Неде - бежал по основной миссии, пропустил второстепенную метку, осознал это уже на выходе с локации, снова бежишь мимо заспавнившихся противников. Очень скучал по миссиям на защиту объекта, миссии доставки на время слишком однообразные, ощущаются как пасхалка. Часто вспоминал, как после сюжетного поворота во второй части в убежище спавнилась куча дополнительных миссий.
    Про лут пишут везде - он сломан. Валится отовсюду, чего только стоят 4 легендарных пистолета, полученные из сундука то ли Лилит, то ли Майи. Пушек стало больше (ну, так говорили в трейлере). Но проблемы те же - очень часто бегал с одним и тем же оружием, которое выпадало каждый раз нового уровня. То есть при таком заявленном количестве лута все еще реально найти то же самое оружие, которое чуть отличается названием и внешним видом.
    Про толерастию писать не буду - противно. После анонса второго DLC глянул обложку и понял, что покупать игру не буду. Хотя выхода в стиме ждал полгода.
    Про технический проблемы тоже писать не буду. Играл на пиратке, грех жаловаться. Их починят. Рано или поздно. Но почти все, что было перечислено, не исправить никакими патчами. Разве что начать четвертую часть с ролика, где третья предстает страшным сном Лилит :D.

    Описал проблемы, которые первыми пришли в голову. Средняя оценка пользователей говорит сама за себя - 5.2 (8.2 - Borderlands 2, 6.2 - Pre-Sequel, 7.6 - Borderlands). В сюжет, кроме гибели героев, ничего не вносит. Всегда можно перепройти вторую. Надеюсь, можно будет просто выкинуть эту часть из головы и продолжить с 4-й.    … Expand

I expected much more from this game, I am a fan of the saga and I did not feel the magic that I felt in the previous two games, I simply did not find comparisons, the plot could have been used much more, there was a point where the development of all was cut off characters.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is probably one of the latest reviews for a game ever but I'm more so writing it for myself, so it ultimately doesn't matter. this game is one of the most forgettable and boring things i have ever played. its has amazing ideas but there are two big things holding it back, but i will get to that after i talk about the game mechanics.

    Shooting: Maybe the shooting isn't a whole lot different on a fundamental level but it's the sheer variety of guns that makes it amazing. Now, instead of all the companies making the same gun with very little difference, every manufacturer is more unique. So now a Maliwan SMG is actually different from one made by Dahl or Hyperion. The interchangeable gun modes on top of all that make the guns really shine over the previous games.

    Vault Hunters: Its nice to see that in this game all the Vault Hunters are unique and not just a carbon copy of a previous vault hunter *Cough* *Cough* Axton *Cough* *Cough*. Having three Action Skills makes them even more unique buy supporting different play styles. The whole Customization system is ok but ultimately is meaningless to me as i play single player for the most part.

    Music and Sound: i'm not a music critic so i don't have much to say. Some of the songs are pretty good but it overall doesn't impress nor disappoint. Although when i heard "This Girl Is On Fire" start to play during the credits i wanted to drink Drano, on top of the **** and unexpected ending. please don't ever put pop music in a borderlands game ever again Randy.

    Graphics: The graphics are as good as ever. all the characters now look much prettier and not like melted plastic. Just an overall upgrade, although this is basically a given.

    "Comedy": This game has by far the worst comedy of the 4 borderlands games by far. "Wow, Rick and Morty is so funny don't you guys agree? Te he :)". Its not like the other Borderlands games can really speak about having better comedy, But at least they weren't at the level of "60 Year Old white man in a boardroom" level of bad. The game panders to Millennials and Zoomers so much to the point where it F***ing hurts. And when its not doing that its just S**t and Sex jokes. The only time i laughed at this game was when i first met Typhon and he warped into a f***ing wall.

    Characters: The characters of this game are either written like complete **** and stay around too long or they have excellent writing and exist for two seconds. In my opinion the worst characters were the ones that had the most screen time. Lilith and Tanis were ok but that's more so because they are established characters. Ava made me want to punt her out of the **** airlock of Sanctuary. its just stupid that because of plot convenience she a **** siren. And there's the time when Maya dies and she just says some really selfish **** which instantly won my hate. The only other character i hated was f***ing Tyreen. from the moment she first appeared to killing her i just kept wondering, "When can this annoying piece of f***ing garbage just shut up and die already". but i mean hey it felt so good to kill her so i guess its ok. Ultimately aside from a certain few, all of the characters are bland and forgettable.

    Story: The story, Much like most of the characters., is forgettable and criminally short. overall its not horrible but its so forgettable id have a better time trying to remember what i ate for breakfast exactly 23 days ago. The only two things that bother me are the ending and Tannis being a siren for no reason other that plot convenience. and Troy being a siren even though sirens can only be female. The ending was about as expected as me all the sudden pulling out a shotgun and shooting you in the legs, and makes about as much sense as that.

    Length: this game is at least Ten hours shorter than its predecessor which is stupid. it is a twenty hour game being sold for $60. The sad part is that you can get the Borderlands: Handsome Collection. This collection includes the HD version of both Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequal as well as Every Single DLC for both of the games. and you can get this all for this exact same price as the base game of Borderlands 3. Maybe the DLC will make Borderlands 3 better, but from what Ive seen, probably not.

    In conclusion, this game is very bland and forgettable on a Writing standpoint. The characters are inconstant in quality, the story is very forgettable and not well written at times, and the comedy is the worst that the series has seen yet. On the contrary, the Mechanical and Graphical side are amazing. The main things dragging this game down are its Writing, Comedy, and Characters. i want to love this game but i just cant. it is a really sour note for the series to end on. and hopefully wee dont get any more borderlands after this.

    If you see this thanks for reading this review i wrote at 3 AM in the morning. i hope i nailed the points to make people uderstand the flaws this game has, Ok Bye.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review is after all the Steam release of PC. The game is good. I love this game. The gunplay is fantastic, the Vault Hunters are really fun and powerful, all can be downright broken in fact. The legendary guns are so good. And there are so many of them. The addition of the Mayhem difficulties makes legendaries drop every other Badass enemy you face. The game is spectacular. But...and it's the biggest but you will ever see, the story is a complete dumpster fire garbage heap of a disaster. Female empowerment is everywhere, and while that not a huge deal, they implement it so poorly. You liked Handsome Jack? Well the Calypso Twins are complete and utter cancer prompting you to scream, "Shut the **** up, Tyreen!" every damn time she opens her retarded ass mouth to taunt you. And let's talk about the disease ridden cancer hole of a character called Ava...she is the WORST. An annoying angsty rebellious little **** that gets Maya killed, and she blames it on Lilith! What the heck Gearbox!!! And what's worse is she never admits to her mistakes. Like I really wanted to like this game but the only enjoyable parts of the story are the DLC, which are fantastic btw, because the annoying ass characters are not in them, the Maliwan/Atlas war, Typhon Delion,and the Jakobs corporation arcs. Other than that, I wanted to drive my car 100 mph and jump out of my car onto a cheese grater for the rest of the story. They did Lilith so dirty in this game bro that you will be seething mad by the end of it. That's why I gave it a 6. The gunplay and loot farming is so good. But the story is a mess and it's really sad.… Expand

You have weapon scores to help you choose your loadout yet some higher level weapons were garbage compared to the ones with a significantly lower score I allrdy had. I just looted everything to sell it all and buy bigger backpack space for ridiculous amounts of money.

    Also, the frequency at which the annoying twins pop up is just frustrating.
    The humor is bland and repetitive. The maps are big for the sole purpose of having a reason to implement vehicles. There's literally nothing else. There is a lot to loot but 80% are just ammo boxes which is a shame.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a trainwreck but can be fun if overlooked. I will give the game credit where credit is due, they majorly improved on a lot with this one. In some aspects, they innovated in the series and in other aspects, they dumbed the game down and ruined it. An example of this would be the writing. They try too hard with the jokes and most of them feel forced and lame. Ava, a new character that was introduced, is the worst. Her character is an edgy 14 year old who will defy all authority and her own stupidity ends up killing Maya not too long after her reappearance. The vault hunters in this game get bland fast. Fl44k is just like the turret vault hunters, Zane is the zero clone, and Amara is the generic siren. The only vault hunter that is unique would be Moze but her ability does not work well late game. The new skill trees are interesting and definitely add more decision making but it is outweighed by the lack of variety in the characters. The main villains are very unlikable and have 2d personalities that boil down to lame insults every mission. The older characters are the only characters done right. Overall, it does add some new things to the table that are definitely worth trying, but don't get your hopes up for this one. Wait for a sale because no way in hell this is worth 60$… Expand

    -trop complexe. BL est avant tout un jeu relativement simple basé sur le plaisir et le matériel. Ils ont ajoutés un peu trop de choses dans BL3.
    - contient pas mal de bugs. J'aurais aimé qu'ils ajoutent un peu moins de choses mais polissent davantage le jeu.
    -manque de stations de voyage. C’est particulièrement irritant sur certaines cartes qui sont relativement grosses (ex. skywell-27, Athenas, etc.).
    - les monstres reviennent après un certain temps: irritant. En plus, els coffres ouverts ne se régénèrent pas (mais les munitions disparaissent bien sûr...) Ça aurait dû être graduel ou après plus de temps.

    CONS:

    - Story is ridiculously low effort. It doesn't hype you into going through the content enthusiastically, but rather, you're just wondering when is it gonna end already? Villains are extremely underwhelming and they are more of a nuissance rather than someone you just can't wait to get rid of, like Handsome Jack . Main story characters have had a lot to suffer too. Most of them are underused and have no real impact on the story in most cases. You barely have an impact on the story yourself, by just randomly being forced to watch cutscenes that you expect to be a part of, since you're there, but instead you just watch your friends being hurt, while the game pretends you're not there. This reason alone discouraged me from replaying this game on New Game +.

    - UI is much clunkier and unresponsive. You may end up accidentally selling your weapons just because the UI is buggy when you're selling weapons. You may also end up getting lost on the map, due to the multiple floors colliding into each other. Overall, there are many more clicks needed to accomplish the same menu actions, that were straight forward in Borderlands 2.

    -Even though maps are bigger, they also feel emptier when it comes to things to do. There are definitely less side quests than BL 2.    … Expand

    Pretty good gameplay, less than stellar performance, writing far below the levels we were accustomed to in previous entries. Content is lacking specifically without a raid boss at launch and now only 1 still with a whole DLC out.

    With dialogues volume turned to 0 and every time a cut-scene is happening leaving computer to do other better things like going for a drink this game is surprisingly fun.
    Story is demented, characters retarded but if completely ignored it is a good game. I remember having similar fun in 1st Borderlands.
    After several months it is not as buggy as it was in the beginning.

    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.
