    No puedo darle un 10 por qué me lo compré de salida y tenía bug de caerse del suelo hacia abajo, y de quedarse los npc bloqueados en el suelo y no poder moverme, pero Se an arreglado todos y me función todo perfecto la narrativa es buena y lo visual es magnifico, para mí es el juego perfecto.

    Borderlands 3 is a pretty good game. Its gun play is the best the series has had to offer and for the most part, the characters are likable and enjoyable to be around. I wouldn't say this is the best in the series though. It has a weak story, especially in comparison to the second game. This entry has some of the most annoying, and forgettable characters the series has had to offer. InBorderlands 3 is a pretty good game.

In addition, the villans are a joke in comparison to the brutal, yet charismatic, handsome jack. But, the series was never mainly focused on making a good story. Rather, making compelling gameplay. As I mentioned earlier, the guns and sound design in are the best the series has seen. The crisp sound that each gun makes is satisfying and makes the guns especially fun to shoot. On the other hand, the missions in this game, moreso the side missions are a pain to get done. In the game its pretty much impossible to complete a mission if you're not at least within two levels of the recommended level requirment. Since the side missions barely give any XP you are left doing love and rather pointless side missions for meager amounts of XP. In conclusion, while better than presequal, this entry is only a few steps above the first and is heavily flawed. if you're looking for a borderlands experience with a good story and amazing characters, you should stick to 2. But, if you're looking for amazing gameplay and glorious sound and level design. You should try 3.… Expand

    I have to disagree with all those negatives critics.

    I loved Borderlands 2, i hated Borderlands 1 and The Pre-Sequel was okay. After ~70hours playing Borderlands 3 i can tell this one will be better than Borderlands 2 at the end (when i say "at the end" it means with every DLC realeased, etc.). The gameplay is perfect, so satisfiying. The weapons are great and interesting. But the best    I have to disagree with all those negatives critics.

    The gameplay is perfect, so satisfiying. The weapons are great and interesting. But the best part of the game is the environement. Sincerly, how can people say it's bad ? If you've ever played a Borderlands game before you just can't tell it's not better.

    You may or may not like the humour, the story or whatever, but that's Borderlands, the real one. Honestly, it's like an upgraded version of Borderlands 2 ... When i see people putting a 2/10 to the game and saying "they were big fans of old Borderlands game", that's **** Maybe you prefered Borderlands 2/1 or Pre-Sequel, but if you loved the old games you can't dislike this one ...

    Now for the tricky part.

    What's wrong with the game ?

    - The story and the antagonists, they are not as great as the Handsome Jack was (but how could they be ? Jack was absolutely perfect)
    - I thought the game less funny than Pre-Sequel. They are taking themselves too seriously at some point, they should go 100% into humour, honeslty.
    - There is too many bad legendary weapons
    - The Chaos mode is awfully balanced
    - There is no "specific boss-loot" wich pushes you to farm the same boss over and over because it's more worth it
    - Not enough exploitation of the secondary characters, because of that we can't care about them
    - Some lags (but it gets better and better)

    | Let's just say that most of what i said before was annouced to be worked on by the developers (excepted the story)

    Sincerly, i really want to point out the main hypocrisy of some people around here. After an epic fail from gearbox (battleborn) and five years of developement, they finally bring us what we wanted. A complete game without in-game purchased (excepted from the 4 DLC), just a fun game to play alone or with ur friends. You may not like the atmosphere of Borderlands, that's true, it's particular. The humour will be funny for some and boring for the others. But you can't tell that this game was made only for money or crap like that.
    The day we will be getting just those **** games like ghost recon breakpoint, we'll see who's gonna lough.

    Final point here : if you like Borderlands atmosphere, humour and what comes with it, go ahead, you won't regret it. If you have never played a Borerlands game before, i would recommand you getting Borderlands The Handsome Collection on steam before (5$) and if you enjoy it, go ahead with Borderlands 3.    … Expand

    TLDR: Gameplay (9/10), Endgame (7.5/10), Story(6ish/10). A more worthy successor than TPS, but still not the glory of Borderlands 2. Still highly suggested for Borderlands fans.

Aspects may change and I may come back and adjust things.    TLDR: Gameplay (9/10), Endgame (7.5/10), Story(6ish/10). A more worthy successor than TPS, but still not the glory of Borderlands 2.

    This review is post Mayhem 2.0, but prior to the announcement of DLC 3 and the Guardian Takedown which will take place in 8 hours actually. Aspects may change and I may come back and adjust things.

    Borderlands 3 is a great game lagged down by some varying issues.

    The gameplay is honestly, in my opinion, the best there has been in the series thus far. While there are only 4 characters thus far and no conformation of more yet, the characters we do have have more diversity in builds than ever before. Multiple action skills and "augments" (think they're called something else but still) really lets you try different things out and makes each character feel like so much more than the previous ones. The gun play is great and the guns themselves are awesome and as cool or weird as ever.

    With the current Mayhem 2.0 patch, endgame balancing is far far superior in my opinion than that of UVHM and particularly the OP levels we've seen previously. The Mayhem levels only increase the health, armor, and shields of enemies and not their levels so the damage dealt to them and yourself is the same across the board, which cannot be said for the previous OP level system. Along with this there are some modifiers that will increase difficulty a little further, but thus far these have been fairly unobtrusive with it allowing you to reroll until you find a set of modifiers you can agree with. Currently the number of weapons that are viable at the highest difficulty, Mayhem 10, is a little restrictive, but there are promises of patches in the near future that will help address this bringing lower tier weapons up the ladder while nerfing some of the more frequently used and powerful guns. These nerfs though should also be balanced a fair bit by a blanket reduction of health given to enemies at the higher mayhem levels making it generally easier. Build variety is fairly open from what I've seen allowing lots of play styles. Overall, the balancing currently is good and should only get better.

    The endgame lacks as much content as there was in Borderlands 2, but still has a lot more to do than that of The Pre Sequel. There is a moderate amount of things to do with plenty of normal bosses to farm. There is only one major raid boss currently being Wotan. More are believed to be coming, but are yet to be seen. As far as DLC goes currently we have The Handsome Jackpot and Love, Guns, and Tentacles, both of which I think are great and add enough content to warrant the purchase of. DLC 3 is about to be announced and a 4th is coming further down the line. Content updates are also fairly frequent with events and weapons being added giving more stuff to do and bring ya back.

    The story is probably my biggest gripe. It's... disappointing to say the least. It's definitely not the reason you'll want to buy the game. I'd go as far to say that Borderlands 1 may have done it better purely because you really can't be let down too much there at least. There are good moments and characters, but there are also some major downs and frustrations. Some fan favorites are pushed aside in favor of old and new ones that are not expanded on in as meaningful of a way as I'd and a lot of others would like. The story is just a step back from that of TPS and BL2. That's for sure.

    Little things. The tech issues I know were present at launch have mostly been sorted out to the best of my knowledge so it runs quite well. The initial reveal and launch of the game was a complete catastrophe between Epic Store exclusivity, Randy Pitchford in general, tech issues, story issues, ect. There is a lot that left a sour taste in my mouth. I waited until the steam release. I've more than enjoyed my time and love the game, but I have to speak up to the wrongs and stupidity of a lot of whats happened between the reveal and now. The games come a long way and it's better for it, but I'm not forgetting the wrongs here.

    Overall, Borderlands 3 is a great game, just not the best. I'm excited to see the new DLCs and other content coming to the game and hope to see it lead to a Borderlands "4" that's better than ever. I hope the developers learn from everything they do to make that next entry that much more amazing, maybe even surpassing Borderlands 2. I love this series so much. From the a little after the last DLCs release for the first game to now this series has brought me thousands of hours of entertainment and has become a large part of my overall love for games. Thank you Gearbox for my favorite game franchise, and thank you to anyone that managed to slog through this nerds overly long user review on metacritic. Geez I'm closer to character limit than I'd like.    … Expand

The gun damage is confusing though, it varies by a lot. So far I use Shocking AAA and Yellowcake as my main guns.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Borderlands 3 можно считать вполне достойным продолжателем серии. Все раздражающие моменты и механики, встречающиеся в предыдущих играх серии были исправлены или полностью убраны, а те что были хороши остались или были улучшены. Геймплей и возможности довольно сильно расширились, в частности хочется отметить улучшение системы передвижения. В целом всё, что было хорошо в предыдущих частях, осталось: разнообразные локации и противники, которыми игра жонглирует, не давая игроку заскучать, безбашенные и забавные ситуации и квесты, отсылки к поп-культуре. В игре есть немало отсылок к предыдущим частям, так-же приятно будет встретить знакомых персонажей серии. Возможно, для игроков, не игравших в предыдущие части серии что-то может остаться непонятным или просто бессмысленным. Начинать знакомство с borderlands с этой игры явно не стоит.
    Каждое прохождение стало более уникальным, теперь, помимо пассивных перков, можно выбирать и способности своему персонажу, сами персонажи имеют куда больше различий. Оружие не придётся менять каждые пару уровней, теперь пушки остаются актульны значительно дольше. Само оружие тоже стало более разнообразным.
    Появилось больше стимула изучать локации.
    Отдельно стоит выделить саундтрек, который получился довольно разнообразным (в связи с разнообразием локаций) и интересным. Каждая композиция отлично работает на погружение и атмосферность. Злодеи слишком пытаются походить на Джека из 2-ой части и во многом преуспевают, но всё же не дотягивают, возможно разработчикам стоило попытаться придумать что-то новое, несмотря на это они довольно хорошо отыгрывают свою роль, в отличии от новых положительных персонажей.
    Теперь о минусах. В игре есть баги. Они не критичны, все что встретились лично мне, это пара непоявившихся боссов, что решается простым перезаходом в игру.
    Если во второй части выбить легендарное оружие было довольно сложно, то теперь легендарок будет слишком много, что в очередной раз обесценивает обычные и редкие пушки.
    Новые персонажи. Ужи знакомые герои серии остались почти без изменений, это те же персонажи, которых мы знаем уже давно. Но новые персонажи, например Лорелай, оказались, не то чтобы плохими, но просто неинтересными и скучными. У них нет, ни особенностей, ни запоминающихся черт или своих фишек.
    Но в целом получилась именно та игра, которую ждали большинство фанатов: стилизованные шутки, знакомые персонажи и безумная атмосфера, только с лучшей графикой и более интересным геймплеем.    … Expand

    THE GOOD:
    - This is probably the best installment in the series yet. It has an overall engaging story, fun characters, well-balanced fighting that stays fun throughout, and a good variety of enemies and weapons.
    - The story is pretty funny and ridiculous. It's a great parody of modern social media influencer culture. There is a decent plot twist at the end.
    - The mission featuring the real voices and likenesses of Penn & Teller, and lampooning the Burning Man festival, is particularly well done.
    - If you have a capable graphics card, Borderlands's signature cell-shading art style is still super gorgeous. The environments are prettier than ever.
    - Orange items, the best item type, which has some kind of unique special ability, are much more common, which is more fun to be honest.

    THE BAD:
    - The plot, while overall fun and funny, involves your opponents being omniscient and knowing everything you are doing and planning. It feels a bit frustrating at times to have the bad guys outplay you constantly with knowledge they couldn't possibly have.
    - The are several important cutscenes that involve the NPCs doing major things, but where your characters are apparently sitting around powerless with their thumbs occupied.
    - Make sure you have the subtitles on!  It can be hard to follow the plot sometimes when people are talking while bullets and explosions are flying everywhere!

    THE UGLY:
    - We did encounter some annoying bugs three or four times. Mission objectives would fail to complete, usually after fighting our way through a really long level. It wasn't a show-stopper, but we had to reload the game and start the mission from the beginning again.
    - A lot of the macguffins you search for through the entire game lead up to building a magic bridge across a chasm... a chasm that you could have easily crossed using routinely available vehicles depicted many times in the story... I'm not sure if this was tongue-in-cheek or an oversight?    … Expand

    Post game content is better than most of the games I've seen. Even more counting the numerous DLCs.

    I maybe preferred more options on the vehicles.

    why do people give such bad ratings for this game?
    the gameplay is so smooth, weapons are great, you can play so many builds on all characters...
    i'd give a
    9/10 for gameplay
    6/10 for story
    2/10 for dlc's ridiculously high prices and cosmetic micro transactions

    overall i rather play BL3 than any other Bl title.

    I've sunk about 200 hours into this game from just how much fun the gunplay is. There are just so many different weapon types with different Playstyles that no matter who you are you're gonna find a lot that you like. Each of the playable vault hunters are fun and the environments are just amazing visually. But the main issue of this game is how bare bones and boring the story is.

This just kinda **** in the face of what the other games were building up to, there are just so many plot holes and boring characters that its just such a nothing storyline.

    Borderlands series are the best loot&shoot games what i ever play. Borderlands 3 gives you better movement, better guns, funny side quests and lots of Fun, but worst main Story then Borderlands 2. If you play games ONLY jifor their main Story, B3 isnt for you. If you play games for gameplay, B3 Is must have for you. BTW it have full COOP

    There are performance issues, game doesnt even look that awesome, not even the explosions beautiful, nothing really beautiful, its meant to be like this i know, but it requires so much.
    Ava. AVA, AVA, AVA, AVA and AVA. She is the most hated character on my list, ever, no cap. Fcking annoying little bastard. I would prefer a mod where she doesnt exist or a mod where she dies instead of anyone really.
    No melee options, you can get weapons, shields, etc. that gives you some sort of extra dmg for your meeles but thats it, not a single knife, pipe, baseball bat, i saw a fcking badass chainsaw in a main quest and i was so disappointed that i couldnt pick it up. (i did a melee amara build but it wasnt satisfying.)

    The positives:

    Guns, guns everywhere in every form. Literally tons of guns, too little space in the backpack.

    Character nerfs. All i'm going to say is, pick Amara. Right now, Amara is pretty much the best character. Everyone else is nerfed to make them not fun, and they never listen to us about it. FL4K used to be great, but now you have to constantly change builds because of how much they nerf him!

    Other than that, the game is great. The legendary weapons are cool, the combat is fun, and it's pretty fun overall. My only gripe is Eden 6, arguably the longest, and most boring are in the game.

    there is a part in which the same game can be repetitive, but they managed to prevent it from becoming this way thanks to the large number and variety of enemies that are everywhere.
    the story is not the best nor the villains the best that have been seen (Handsome Jack left a difficult position to fill) the outcome of each character to my liking was fine.

    I have got to say this game played beautifully at 1080 120fps for most of my time. I don't have an exceptionally powerful pc but there were zero issues running it. As for the gameplay, it is exactly what you would expect from a Borderlands game. The wide and I do mean WIDE selection of guns and other loot is incredible. There is everything from a chain-driven automatic pistol that you cool down with a water gun to a dubstep blasting smg. The loot is so bountiful that you often have to make choices on which to pick up as they can't all fit in your inventory. It makes the game feel rewarding and fresh even when fetching the 100th item for some quest.
    The gameplay can be a little repetitive in that many of the quests are fetch based and for that reason I would recommend playing with some close friends to keep it fresh and enjoyable.
    Please do not let the reviews from the release of this game sway you, the issues that many of them are referencing as far as optimization and bugs have been fixed and this is one of the best gaming experiences that I have had this year.    … Expand

Третья часть сделала заметный шаг вперед в техническом и визуальном планах, не растеряв при этом фирменный стиль и шарм. Оружия здесь реально больше и оно разнообразное, добавились различные доп. режимы стрельбы, а сама стрельба теперь намного приятнее и отзывчивее. Количество и разнообразие локаций оригинальной кампании также выросло и сравнимо по объему с Бордой 2, упакованной всеми DLC. Сюжет развивается по классическому для Borderlands сценарию "сам с нуля против большого злобного наглого босса, который будет доставать с самого начала и до конца игры". Есть интересные персонажи, неожиданные повороты сюжета тоже на месте, хоть и не блещут оригинальностью. В любом случае сторилайн намного более ровный и вовлекающий, чем в детском садике под названием Doom Eternal. Игра радует уместным юмором, самоиронией и отсылками к известным играм и фильмам. Реализовано несколько геймдизайнерских фишек, которых не хватало в предыдущих сериях франшизы (спойлерить не буду). ВАЖНО: в первые часы игра довольно скучна и развивается вяло, однако, когда мы уносимся в первое межпланетное путешествие, кампания оживает, и появляется интерес, который только усиливается в дальнейшем.… 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.
