    Borderlands 3 brings more of the charm, humor, and of course: The mayhem.

    Unfortunately, not much else has improved. The menus, the missions, the music. More of the same. To be clear: I don't think these things are bad. They're all distinctly "Borderlands". What I do think is that there should have been more improvements to how the game plays when you aren't blasting your enemies and making them curse their parents' copulation.

    Overall it is a very solid game but it is good. Not great.

    Game seems decent enough, however, I've basically paid 2k over £80 for the privilege of being their beta tester. I meet the recommended required specs for the game, but it stutters to an insane degree, and the 30+fps drops in combat make it unplayable.

    People have reported losing their save data due to the way Epic cloud saves "work", and I can't even play the game on the very lowest settings. The game's optimisation is basically at an alpha stage, and i'm disgusted that people are defending this behaviour. I've sent 2k a ticket on the matter, like a good little beta tester, but they still haven't made an official announcement about fixing their game.

    I love the Borderlands series, but the state of this game has cheapened everything about it. I feel as though I've signed a contract with Hyperion by buying this broken trash. After spending over 4 hours trying the various fixes people have come up with (with no success), I can't even get a refund.

    I hope the game will be fixed when I come back to it in 2 months, and I will probably even enjoy it. But I refuse to change my review score, based on the fact that triple A game companies should NOT be releasing games in this kind of state.

    It's everything you liked about Borderlands 2 but with more content and many quality of life changes. If you liked Borderlands 2 you'll love the third game if you didn't like the game play or comedy of borderlands 2 you won't like the game it's that simple

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Я зарегистрировался буквально, чтобы поставить отзыв этой игре.
    Касательно технической части: игра ужасна. Эти длинные, коридорные пустые локации. Этот перегруженный интерфейс. Эти лаги/баги/фризы/зависания... Я потратил на игру 3 добрых дня, чтобы пройти сюжетные квесты и я уже жалею о потраченном времени и деньгах. Лучше бы подождал пиратку, да терпения не хватило.
    Дальше со спойлерами.
    Сюжет: банален и разочаровывает. Персонажи не проявляют и половину тех эмоций, которые они испытывали потеряв Роланда в БЛ2. Злодеи - зазнавшиеся, избалованные дети в телах взрослых. Они раздражают. Но, к сожалению, на фоне Стилл из БЛ1 и Зарпедон из ТПС - они чуточку да лучше. И все же, им очень далеко до Красавчика Джека из БЛ2 и ТФТБ.
    Больше всего во всей игре меня раздражает количество роялей в кустах, которые выскакивают просто из неоткуда. Меня разочаровывает, во что превратили уже знакомых персонажей. То, что сделали с Майей, Воном и Аурелией - вообще финиш. Мне жаль этих дамочек и мальчика-бухгалтера. Мне не нравится, что функция, которая была у нас по дефолту в БЛ2 - открывается лишь с прохождением полного сюжета в БЛ3. Это дико раздражает и совершенно не вызывает желания повторно окунаться в игру на данный момент. Может быть, если Гирбоксы поправят технические моменты хотя бы с багами/фризами/зависаниями - я еще подумаю об этом, но точно не в ближайшее время.
    Оффтоп: EGS-фаны, уймитесь пожалуйста. Ваш обожествляемый лаунчер не стоит того. Я перешагнул через себя, купил игру в EGS и я жалею об этом. Она не стоит своих денег вообще. Совет тем, кто не купил: ждите торренты или огромных, наищедрейших скидок на игру. В пределах 200+ рублей. Если не купите/не поиграете - много не потеряете.

    i am extremely disappointed in whoever made the decision to make it epic exclusive, taking OUR voices away by taking our forums, i bet if it came out on steam at the same time they would have had these issues fixed by now.

    Just cause I'm a fun of this game I rate 9/10. 1 point less for the "mousecontrol" on cars. And gearbox pls reveal optimization patch as fast as you can. Frametime stability is horrible in different scenarios, not only aiming in sniper scope.

    I'm a casual fan of the series and not a fanboy by any distance but I've just jumped back over to PC and wanted to play a Borderlands game on keyboard and mouse and with decent graphics settings.

    First thing to address is that this is a Borderlands game, so don't expect too many new things. The style, atmosphere and humour is what makes the series. The gameplay is very tight and enhanced by the new movement options, mantle and slide. These can give you a few more tactical angles and nothing feels better than sliding up to an enemy and finishing them with a switch shot the groin.

    It's a lot of fun and the characters are as big as ever. The addition of the new locations makes it feel a lot bigger and more varied than previous versions, as does the amount of guns!

    There are a few bugs, but none of them I have come across are game breaking.

    Just don't run it with DX12.

    If you love Borderlands, you'll love this. It's immature, loud and brash but loads of fun.

    This game is much worse than BL2 or pre-sequel. The villains are unconvincing, the plot is disappointing, the humor (ass-related jokes) does not appeal to mature audience, and you cannot skip the boring cut-scenes.

    Game runs as expected from day one.
    It lives up to the content you should expect when played the previous releases.

    Apart from everything that the game delivers it only drops frame rate now and then, but 90% of time it runs smoothly.

    I'am a huge fan of borderlands and I bought this game on Release and played 31hours by now. How come all the bad reviews are written on release when there is no way they could have critizised the game and its gameplay. There are a lot of epic haters here that just give 0 Points even though they did not even play the game.

    Borderlands 3 has actually some performance issues. I played it on Xbox and still get frame drops or lagging when I open the menu. Very frustrating, and I hope they do something. And yes many friends tell me that PC has some performance issues as well. But not all of them ! This would strike against 10 Points. And yes this would affect Splitscreen as well. Nonetheless is it a degrace to give 0 points because of framedrops that occur sometimes.

    This game is playable !

    Another point how can you come to say that this game is just a Borderlands 2.5 ? Or just a DLC.
    This game is a FULL new game. In every aspect this game has evolved and playes much smoother, modern, and more comfortable. Exactly what the other Borderland did not achieve or needed. Borderlands 3 is exactly what we wanted and I think everybody who plays this game till the end, feels and sees that.

    There is no ingame Shop, Ingame Currency or Microtransactions in the form of any other game that is release nowadays. They completely focussed on the actual content. Thanks Gearbox for staying that way.

    This game provides a really long main story. Longer than the one from Borderlands 2. The level design is just gorgeous. The areas are much bigger than any of Borderlands 2. Well the graphic has improved slightly. Light and environment feel more alive, than the previous titles. And also there is much bigger variety of environments. Every single Map you enter is huge.

    HUD as improved in almost every single way. There could be still some improvements on the inventory and Map controlls. But overall, we a much better and deeper skill tree. The badass rank as so much more sense now and actually rewards more than just some increased stats. The Map is 3D and they added a fog of war to it. Also you can fast travel to your car or any other fast travel station, which is exactly what Borderlands 2 needed. You can toggle between Missions without going into the quest log menu ! Maps provide more than just missions. There are side bosses, cars you steal, dead claptraps and more ! Discovering the whole map has more meaning to, as in the prevous titles. It is a whole new System.

    Well dont need to talk about combat and weapon variety. It is just so much better and exciting. There are boss fight in this game that actually let you forget every boss fight you had in any other Borderlands Game. It is mind blowing.

    Cars can be hijacked, and you can actually design your cars with new guns, tires, armor .... and so on. Characters can have emotes, skins, weapon skins, echo skins, and more ! And all this is unlocked by playing... not PAYING ! Exactly what we needed in todays world.

    Sanctuary provides so much more, it is incredible. More slot machines at moxxis, own personal room, hammerlock room, Zer0 room. Every room has a meaning and is worth a visit once a while. I mean it feels like so much more.

    Endgame Content, raid Bosses, Chaos/Mayhem Mode, Arena... who knows whats more to come. Compared to Borderlands 2, this is a blast of NEW CONTENT and improvement.

    The humor is still there, easter eggs are more than ever. So many great references and funny moments.

    There is much more, so much. I encourage everyone to play this game and have a look themselves. How dare anyone call this a DLC for borderlands 2 or a Borderlands 2.5. In my opinion those people have never played one of the previous titles or expected Borderlands 3 to be Destiny 3 or so.

    This game is exactly what true fans of the franchise wanted and expected. And they never mislead us in any of their videos, trailers, reveals. We all got hyped. Playing this will keep you hyped. So have fun !

A quick look through the user reviews for this game and it seems like im the only one who isnt having performance issues. Day one the game ran worse that it does now, Im pretty sure gearbox updated the game on the 14th and that seemed to boost my performance quite a bit, so im assuming the negative performance reviews came before this patch.

    A little bit if optimisation could be great (some crashes and other FPS drop) but the game still pretty good, good story, nice joke like borderlands know to do it, a pretty good lifespan maybe 30-35h without rush
    Finally a pretty good looter shooter ;)

    The game is currently broken. :( It is running very poorly. I understand there will be problems on launch, but it feels like no one tested it and if they did, they figure they would fix it after launch. So, I have to wait until they fix it to play my game. *sigh*

    First off, can't say anything about the graphics/fps lag mainly due to me having a 2080, however I can justify for the random crashes and having some bugs such as mission completion, weapon reloading bugs, etc. To be honest, the reason why this is a 5 not a 3 is because well its a borderlands game and within the franchise.

    Second off, I would say the most disappointing aspect for me was

    Second off, I would say the most disappointing aspect for me was the story. I personally play borderlands mainly for the story, partly for the guns and loot base grinding, however I would say borderlands 3 has one of the most underwhelming stories in the entire franchise. The characters are bland and have no particular backstory, and none of the characters really translate into the past character's playstyle (except maybe moze the gunner to axton). The game feels heavily repetitive and the maps of different planets are boring, bosses are too easy, and overall this doesn't feel like a standard borderlands game with loot grinding and a good story. It just feels like the devs rushed this game to sellout into the market to be part of the borderlands franchise.

    However there are some pros:
    + beautiful graphics
    + borderlands style "cheesy" comedy
    + side quests are relatively good
    + new guns, new combat techniques

    Unfortunately, Borderlands seems to be into trouble right now. I don't rly know why, this game's amazing.

    The effort was put even into the smallest details! Example, if you play as any character (Except for Flank, I suppose), after several seconds of running he (Or she) will get winded, and you'll hear the pants! And more you run, the louder they are! Isn't that cool? Or another

    Or another example. You're not a ghost camera! You're a camera attached to person! There's not so many games where you can look down and see your own legs, torso and arms. But Borderlands is one of them.

    I know, so far it sounds stupid. But that just shows, the developers haven't missed a single detail.

    About gameplay, it became even more fun than before. Ragdolls are now just as crazy as in good'ol Team Fortress 2. Now you can shoot female bandits! And yes, it sounds rly pecking creepy and over all bad, but at least this way it feels like bandit planet actually, where, well, everyone and their mother (Literally) is either a bandit or worse. Some new moves was added, shooting itself was improved. The guns are rly neeto. Matching both of those factors with B2, B2 feels and looks like you're using a Nerf gun of some kind.

    Graphics were slightly improved. And I have no idea what are you guys sayin' about optimization. Tested on my pc with i7 and 980ti, as well as on my laptop with 1050ti. Both runs pretty solid. And again, you have body! That's just the coolest thing!

    Yes, it did crashed once, when I entered new location. And yes, I still have some issues with inventory (Frame drops and disappearing cursor). But it was only once, and I expected that. Come on, the game was, like, couple of hours old, some thingies like that are normal.

    Over all, this is a great game. I enjoy it very much and recommend you to try.

    Man, what a disappointment. I picked up the first Borderlands shortly after launch and had been anticipating this launch - and after 10-12 hours with the game, divided among two character classes, all I want is my money back. This isn't the Borderlands I've been playing for the past decade. I don't know what this is. But it's definitely not worth your money.

    To start, it takes about 20 minutes to earn your first skill point, and longer until you unlock your first passive ability, so it'll be a while before you can tell if you enjoy playing your character class. If you don't, enjoy sitting through the lengthy unskippable intro cutscenes (one of which is just compressed trailer footage).

    Once you get caught up, don't waste any time exploring the initial area. Exploring on your own is a waste of time, since quest objects / items can't be activated or collected unless you have the active quest. At least on Pandora, don't bother exploring an area unless you have an active quest in that region.

    As you're travelling through the area, characters you haven't met will randomly start talking to you via your ECHO with no introduction or context. They immediately deliver fetch/kill quests before you meet them, have any reason to help or trust them, or agree to a reward, etc.

    Meanwhile, your main quest giver, 10 minutes after meeting you, entrusts you with the most powerful artifact in the universe because she's busy doing housework. You're expected to care about the villains because they apparently have done some evil **** off-screen before you show up, but they're so irritating, bland and uninspired that I couldn't possibly care less about them. Compare them to Handsome Jack in B2 - like him or not, you immediately knew who he was, what his motivations were, and why you were in conflict with him. Here, you're just kind of thrust into a situation with little explanation - and not in a compelling, in-medias-res way, more of a "we forgot to hire a writer" way.

    The lack of strong writing leads to a lot of stilted and awkward dialogue / delivery between characters. NPCs will stand stock still while playing low-budget procedural face animations during emotional cutscenes. One character got locked into a push-ups animation while he was supposed to be sobbing over the loss of his comrade. A certain character that you save from the enemy thanks you, then immediately turns around and runs right back into the bandit camp where they were just being tortured because the nearest transporter is located there.

    If you're expecting any sort of player choice or expression beyond which guns to shoot and which abilities to spec into, you'll be disappointed. There's little-to-no option for creative completion of quests. If you try to go off the beaten path at all, or come up with a clever solution to a problem, you'll get shut down and railroaded back to the script the game wants you to follow. Not great for an open world game.

    I could go on about the outdated graphics and ****ty textures, overall bad voice acting and delivery, uninspired settings, recycled mechanics, enemies, locations, etc, copy-pasted art assets, reduced enemy variety and intrigue (at least in the first ~10 hours), asinine and illogical quests (not in the fun, quirky Borderlands sort of way - just downright stupid), missing audio content, ubiquitous bugs, lengthy and irritating mandatory checklist-style quests, the fact that the game forces you to play a slot machine to advance the plot - and a whole lot else. But I'll save you the time:

    The guns are fun to shoot. Some of the character abilities are kind of fun. There's some great, satisfying sound design in combat, and combat feels good overall. So, props to the weapons/combat design team, you folks nailed it.

    If that's good enough for you, get some friends together, get smashed, and you'll find some fun in Borderlands 3. If you want an intriguing world, decent dialogue, somewhat compelling characters, a clearly defined and intriguing villain, subversive mechanics, occasionally on-point satire / meta commentary in a crazy, Mad Max-inspired world with Diablo-esque combat mechanics that feel fun and rewarding... then just go play Borderlands 2 ya dingus

    The Bad: The vault hunters are super boring. The writing in this game is probably the worst I've seen for any major title recently. There are one million attempts at jokes - parts where I know I am supposed to laugh but there is no set up. It's some weird circle around toilet humor and then some kind of comedy of personality. Zaney characters and loud speaking (the talking in this game is INCESSENT by the way) don't make comedy.

    The level design is linear and super boring. The bosses talk non stop and are boring. Don't buy. It's super boring.

    Yes there are tech issues, but honestly it's far from normal with new titles. My 5700 drivers are buggy still and I am willing to accept a crash here and there, on a brand new title.

    It's Borderlands, and very much still Borderlands, if you don't like silly humor then it may not be for you, but it is VERY much Borderlands. The sound engineering on the weapons are amazing, little things like making my keyboards rgb flash when I respawn show the same level of care and detail that the creators put into the game. The Character skins etc really allow for lots or variation and personality.

    Is it perfect ? No But is a damned good game, new grenade play gun play and the guns feel different, and varied. I have no doubt that the announced events will include patches to fix some of the issues, and they NEED to do that. The glitches and optimization need to come soon, but let be real - we're only a few days in.

    There is a downplay in the humor of the game, its not a fun and silly as BL2, but it is still good. BL2 Is one of my favorite games, even more so in this world of COD regurgitated game play.

    The look of the game is really what I wanted - a new updated look to the game that is VERY much Borderalnds, the look and the feel is good. The frame stutter needs to be addresses, SOON!

    Pros:
    If you are a fan of the BL games you will like it - some people are complaining about the "more of the same" but they seem to forget this is Borderlands....
    The new movement mechanics are fun, and the quality of life, like navigation etc are on point.
    It's Borderlands 3 and the story is good and the characters are varied and allow options for different play styles.
    It is very much what I wanted, and this game is totally worth it.
    The level/map design and variation is spectacular - every planet has its own looks, feel and personality. The variety is great - from fighting in tight house corridors to open courtyards and everything in between.
    Cons
    The twins really don't have the immersion of past BL villains (but that has a lot to do with Jack being SUCH a good villain)
    The bugs need to be addressed as well as the optimization.
    The constant network traffic needs to be optimized.
    Lack of tutorial with the really substantial changes to navigation can make it really hard to move around from map to map unless you spend some time to getting to knowing the many changes in navigation.

    Overall
    There is nothing here that is brutal enough to merit the 0-1-2 scores this game is currently getting.
    It's BORDERLANDS - if you don't like the humor in the past you won't like this.
    Its a good game that has a really good look, and continues the BL universe.
    The Twins are just kind of annoying, but the rest of the story line is really solid, the inclusion of past vault hunters, the Zer0 and Athena story lines really bring you into the story, and as much as the story seems to center around Lillith the story is good, very good.
    To avoid any spoilers the "apprentice" is annoying, and her story line is predictable.
    There needs to be optimization and I am confident that they will address the issues.

    If you gave it a low rating because of the gamestore, or if you are review bombing the game - get a life. If you honestly don't like it - then so be it - but many of these ultra low ratings is just sad. Brand new games will have bugs.

    I am looking forward to the events and DLC and those much needed patches.

    For me, this game equals the hype! Gearbox did an awesome job! I love the fighting mechanics, the characters and the story line. My PC is 6 years old and runs the game smoothly!

I literally want to hold him down and cut it off. I mean, ya, it adds to his slimey persona..but ugh!! NO MAN BUN!! :) I LOVE THIS GAME!! Expand

The playable characters are great and the guns are great i don't give a **** about the epic games store thing my only problems are the technical issues and the story, the twins are just annoying and killing maya was a cheap move to make you hate them Expand

    Admittedly there have been some bugs in the game with occasional drops in framerates, perhaps some of the QoL upgrades I don't really care for. That aside, the game is absolutely stunning, looks and plays amazing. Combat is intense and fun to play. Guns are fun to shoot and look awesome. Story is good. Graphics are incredible. Missions are fun. Same old borderlands humor.

Missions are fun. Same old borderlands humor. I love the new characters and abilities. What's not to like. The game lives up to the hype. I think its terrible that people are obviously review bombing the hell out of this game and it doesn't deserve it. I could believe them if the scores weren't so low. Don't listen to them. Buy the game and play, you'll be happy you did! Totally worth the wait. Expand

    i want to start by saying that i am a huge borderlands fan. this is a copy paste of what i told my friends on discord so its not written in a traditional review format. aight so just finished bl3, my spoilerless review is non of the questions left after the end of the pre sequal and tales were answered but one and this was not worth the wait. story, franchise, and unanswered questionsi want to start by saying that i am a huge borderlands fan. this is a copy paste of what i told my friends on discord so its not written in a traditional review format. aight so just finished bl3, my spoilerless review is non of the questions left after the end of the pre sequal and tales were answered but one and this was not worth the wait. story, franchise, and unanswered questions aside, gameplay is great
    some returning characters barley appeared in the game itself that you wanted more from which just pisses me off, the campaign itself has the same amount of missions as the bl2 campaign, its about the same size but longer because there is a lot of travel or waiting for npcs to do something
    its clear there was a major rewrite after the end of tales and pre sequal. the villains and the story dont fit at all with the way bl2 ended and the new bl2 dlc was so that they can have a 7 years too late change of heart
    if u play borderlands for the story dont buy this game
    the over 1 billion guns is also a lie, there are like 20 parts for each gun that can rotate so its 1 billion gun combinations. on the start of the game i looted a sniper from a chest and in that same minute i got the same gun as a mission reward. more dups throughout the game
    tbh the best part about this game is the ice t cameo
    and they spoiled most of him in the demos they sent out
    still havent played the endgame, did proving grounds once and it was meh
    oh yeah jokes, again thats why ice t was the best part about the game, he had the best jokes. all those jokes traveled between boomer to ok, rarely will make you laugh. the only good parts were spoiled in demos. i honestly find it hard to believe this took them 5 years to make because the big change in direction couldnt have happened right after tales ended
    the wrost joke is after u kill someone of something big things go south fast and it says to be continued in bl4 and i didnt believe it but it drew on for half a minute or even a minute and with the greed of 2k and randy dickfork i started believing it near the end and was about to punch the first computer related thing i could find
    it honestly doesnt feel like a borderlands game as much as 1 2 pre and tales and tales wasnt a borderlands game
    story is week because u dont care about anything, they hold hostage everything u hoped for through the entire story and almost all of it wont be shown
    this is the only borderlands game so far that i dont want to replay the story in a higher difficulty

    Despite problems with FPS, the game is the heir to Borderland two. The creators paid much attention to the weapon, it became more pleasant to shoot from the weapon. The game looks juicier, more lively, but the old spirit of the previous parts also remained. I hope the developers fix all the bugs in the future. PS: there are no microtransactions in the game.

    There's tons of content, great skills, a pretty good story. Really this game is the full package and TOTALLY worth the buy...except it barley holds it together. Horrible performance issues and bugs galore. This game is subject to crashes and some people have straight up lost progress as well. It DESPERATELY needed more time before it released.

    Borderlands 3 is phenomenal and all I could’ve wanted out of a new entry in the series. All your favorite characters return and the writing and humor is on par for what one could expect from the series. In game music is purely amazing with heavy hitting synth wave style tracks and electronic music alongside epic tracks to go with huge firefights and battles.

All your favorite characters return and the writing and humor is on par for what one could expect from the series. In game music is purely amazing with heavy hitting synth wave style tracks and electronic music alongside epic tracks to go with huge firefights and battles. The new Vault Hunters are fantastic, I’ve grown very attached to Zane and love how he converses with different characters. The amount of guns on show is fantastic and varied, no doubt even at 1000 hours of play will any one player see every gun on offer. Weapons also sound punchy and visceral taking a cue from Borderlands 1 weapons instead of the weak sounding Borderlands 2 guns. Character customization is expanded with all new heads and skins as well as getting to choose your own colors for everything. Weapons are now customizable with different skins and little trinkets you can equip to them for flair, there are no micro transactions, it is all purchased with one of the in game currencies called “Eridium”. I’ve been playing through the game on a base Xbox one and have encountered practically zero issues, only one so far being that certain vehicles don’t have an engine sound to them unless they’re on their respective planets where they were obtained. Borderlands 3 is slowly making its way to the top spot as my favorite game of all time, even beating out Metal Gear Solid 3. If you’re a huge fan of the series then this is a definite buy, and if you’re wanting to get into the series this is definitely a great starting point. Expand

    I liked how gearbox and 2k made 6 month beta testing for this game to be sure that the bugs/other issues are fixed for the steam release. Maybe I'll buy it on steam (if I can run it whit my just bought 1400 euro pc) and I sure do hope 2k doesn't send some men in black suits to my house to investigate me and force me to delete this review along with everything else i have in the interwebz.

    Have over 2k hours in bl1 2 and presequel combined.
    This is game is broken mess, with the fact It being an epic exclusive being the icing on the sh1tcake.
    Best part is, performance problems are caused by an anti piracy DRM. So in turn when the game inevitably gets pirated not only will they have the game for free, but they will have a smother experience than any of us who actually wasted

    Awesome game, ty for this. I dont big like borderlands 2. Bl3 much better In every little thing.

    But EGS is bad launcher and this competition is wrong. Could have been a choice with different prices and I support everyone who is against EGS exclusive. Epic games looks like a child throwing moneys. I 'll put a better fortnite score of 0.

    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.
